UPh-The forth coming coronation of young Hen ry Pu-Ti as emporer of Manchukuo was described today as a move to emphaslxe the separation of that Japanaese - sponsored state from China, of which it was a part un til the Nipponese occupation two years ago. Reports circulated in China to the effect that Pu-Yl's elevation to the throne is intended as a rally ing call to the Chinese subjects he ruled as a boy on the dragon throne were branded as "entirely false" by a foreign office spokes man. "On the contrary," he said, "it will stress the separation of Man chukuo from China, and Mah ehukuo's complete freedom from the Intrigues' civil wars, and sor rows of China below the great wall, and will assist in the estab-. Ushment of peace and security along all the frontiers of Man chukuo." - The coronation of Pu-Ti. wl take place.

It offers the real re lief we farmers have been look ing foi in the matter of taxes. It will shift a part of the heavy burden of taxes from our farms and homes to others who are able and should carry part of the load. It looks like it is now time for the farmer to take action in this or forever remain passive in the matter of taxes.

The court's decision upheld state legislation extending the time for. redemption of property foreclosed for non-payment of mortgage indebtedness, and con taining other provisions to ease the debtors' burden. Officials said today almost 20 states bad enacted legislation which followed similar lines and that many legislatures meeting this year probably would pass such laws now that the Minnesota statute had been , declared consti tutional. Some laws already pass ed have been held constitutional by state courts. One of the principal benefits to the work of the borne- loan and farm credit administrations, of ficials said, was that an extension of the time for redemption would allow in many instances a suffi cient period for a federal loan on the property or a scaling down of the Indebtedness if its present value is insufficient to cover the amount due.
