Political Situation in Ori

Exigencies of the political disrup

Manchuria haTe added Import
ance to the Manchurtan soy bean
crop, foundation of the country
economic structure.
The harvest this year is expect-
mA to he the largest in history.
Last "year the output aggregated
about 5,500,000 tons, approxi
mately 75 per cent ot the total
oy bean production of all China.

Alarr efforts.
Although a staple food Jn China
for more than 4,000 years, mo
oy bean, "meat and milk" of the
orient, is one 01 me romiB
modern science. Tor centuries it
was made into a curd that took
the place of meat and bread
among the poor. A vegetable milk
was pressed from the curd. It was
not until 1910, whe na shipment
of 100 tons was sent to England,
that the soy bean beeame a factor
la International trade.
Since then scores of products
hare been developed. Credit for
much of the almost boom-like de
velopment and prosperity ot Man
churia Is riven to the varied uses
of the soy bean. They inelude the
manufacture of soy and other
aauces, soups, breakfast foods,
casein, cheese, crackers, macar

FOX FILMS SUES
NEW YORK. March 26 (AP)
Another legal entanglement ap
peared today in the complicated
litigation which Involves William
Fox and his motion picture cor
poration. It took the form of an
affidavit of prejudice calling up
on Federal Judge Frank J. coie
man to withdraw from the three
equity receivership proceedings
pending against the corporations
and others.
The affidavit was filed by coun
sel for Halsey Stuart and Co.,
Inc., on behalf of H. L. Stuart,
president of the corporation, and
one of the Fox trustees named in
the trusteeship agreement on De
cember 3.
Judge Coleman adjourned pro-

I assume," the judge said to
the assembled attorneys, "that
the filing of this affadivit divests
me of the power to hear the mo
tions." Samuel Untermyer, counsel
for Mr. Fox, contended that since
Halsey Stuart & Co. were not par
ties defendent they could not le
gally file an affidavit of preju
dice. In reply to this, Judge Cole
man pointed out that Untermyer
had recently filed a motion to
make the financial house a par
ty defendant. Untermyer said he
would consider withdrawal ot
that motion.
The affidavit charged that
Judge Coleman, by his conduct,
had shown prejudice against Stu
art ln receivership proceedings
before him. It asked him to file
a certificate of disqualification
with the court of appeals and ask
ed that the court of appeals desig

case.

of the country's mineral resources

Strip .mining has Increased ln
recent years to the extent that i
two Investigators, F. E. Cash and j
H. W. von Bernewits report the
annual average production of five j
minerals as totalling 78 million
tons.
To expose the minerals, giant
shovels scoop away three times as
much earth, or overburden, as the
entire amount ot dry excavation
during the 11-year period of the
cutting of the Panama canal.
Stripping machinery has been
perfected until, daring an average
year, the United States produces
19,000,000 tons of coal, twenty-
four million tons of copper ore,
thirty-two million tons ot iron
ore, 160,000 tons oi nauxue, ana
12,700,000 tons of pebble phos

The increase has been sucn in
the coal fields that, where 7.233,-

the method in 1927, the investi
