He suggested the community chest because of its equipment to handle disbursements of this money. Farmers have supported this plan, he said. There was a possibility that they might oppose it as a plan because their inroads on markets for the new heat "The farmer isn't going to oppose anything that gives the other fellow something to eat." McKevle said. "He's got the ability, and won't stand in the way of others having the same. Any objections to the plan in that it would constitute a dole can be answered by the assertion that it wouldn't encourage a man to idleness." The only expense to local organiza- tion would be processing the wheat McKinsey corporation could deliver the wheat but that local groups would mil it it Plans to Reorganize Teas W.S.G.A.

Secretary of State Stimson on the basis of incomplete diplomatic reports, saw no occasion to remind China or Japan of involvement under the Kellogg antic war pact. Second, China, torn by floods, banditry and civil strife, was believed incapable of conducting an international war on a large scale. It appeared that the clash at Mukden was sanctioned by neither of the governments. Competent observers, foreign observers, and even believe open warfare between China and Japan would not follow the Mukden incident. First, Japan already possessed nuclear weapons, it desires in Manchuria, and would have little or nothing to fight for save military prestige. To gain that it would have to risk the lenience of military prestige. Third, despite China's military weakness, Japan would hesitate to attack it because of its nuclear weapon, a boycott on the island's goods like that which followed Lieu's arrest.
