Oeneral K. Dolhere, the Japanese

China, a leading figure.
' Chlneu support was obtained and
for a time It appeared the eecea

China, however, yielded to tha ax
tent of aettlng up lta own autono
mous reglm and, preaumably on
the baala of an agreement with the
Tokyo parliamentary government,
announced a program of limited co
operation with Japan.
Tlila concession enabled Emperor

further Inflamed the nationalists.

left wing sentiment a cauiie for im
mediate action. They argued that
communism waa gaining ground and
that the danger of war with Soviet
Russia, which haa been acute since
1931. demanded the establishment
of a military controlled regime
which would atlfle all elements
which might oppose such a war.
War Prenarnllnna Opposed.
Just aa opposition to the army's
military adventure In Manchuria
caused the outbreak In May 1.
1933, ao opposition to the army'a
preparation for war with Soviet
Russia which the military long has
lelt to be Inevitable caused the
latest outbreak and the ' reported
assassination of Takahashl.
In the 1933 coup the militarists
had the aupport of several civilian
groups which were charged with
crippling electrical aervlces, railways
and seizing public buildings other
than the government mllltarlea
which were to be taken by the
young army and navy officers lead
ing the movement. Remnants of
these same grouna probably are
former associates of the "mad priest."

The trial of Inouye and hla neo
nates for tho assassination of Dr.
T. Dan. then minister of finance,
and other "capitalists." developed
the fact that the militarists fa
vored a doctrine they called "Im
perial communism."
Would Confiscate Wealth.
Their program celled for confis
cation of wealth, division of land
among actual "dirt farmers." ex
treme national Isolation, and en
forced national service for every
body without pay other than "the
aatlsfactlon of following the hea
venly way In aervlce of the em
peror." Emperor Hlrohlto, however, under
the Influence of his venerable chief
counsellor. Prince SnlonJI, "last of
the Oenro." showed little sympathy
with the plotters. As rapidly aa he
could, without endangering hla
dynasty, he cast hie support to the
parliamentary groups and quietly
began a campaign to separate the
ring-leaders of the extreme military
groups In the army.
The high command of the Kwan

The situation calmed for a time.
Then, on August 13. 1939. Lieu
tenant General Tetsuran Nagnta, di
rector of the military affalra bureau
or the war office, waa assassinated
by a Junior officer who sabered him
aa he sat at hla desk m Tokyo.
Trial of the assassin analn brought
out the determination of the ex
treme nationalists to "purify the
national life" of the empire nnd to
re-establish the dortrlne of the su

"take over control cf the country In

appropriation bill.
The farm credit administration,
through Governor William I. Myers,
reported to congress:
"It la-estimated that during the
first 10 months or 1930, Individuals,
banks. Insurance companies, and oth
er private lenders made nearly M70,-
000,000 of farm mortgage loans, an
Increase of 27 per cent from the
$370,000,000 loaned during the same
period of l34."
Already Secretary Wallace and AAA
Administrator Cheater O. Davis were
preparing to start the program. Farm'
era are expected to be called to re
gional meetings next week to discuss
subsidy rates.
House Version Favored
Senate and house had passed the
bill In somewhat different form, but
conferees from the two chambers re
quired only one session to iron out
differences. The result, made public
last night, leaned largely toward the
original house version.
(Briefly, the "soli conservation and
domestlo allotment set" provides tor
subsidies to farmers, not exceeding
$500,000,000 year, for taking land
out of commercial crops and devoting
it to soll-bulldlng growths or other
"economic" purposes. The secretary
of agriculture thus Is given wide
powers to control production.
(Before December 31a 1937 the gov
ernment would pay the grants direct
to farmers, or Indirectly through co
operating states. After that date, pay
ments would be made only in cooper
ating states. The grant would then
be given, not only for soil conserva
tion, but on the basis of staolltEatlon
of agricultural supplies and mainten
ance of farm purchasing power.)
The conferees' session resulted in:
1 Acceptance of a house provision
requiring the government to re-establish
as fast as possible the pre-war
parity between the purchasing power
of farm and non-farm net Income
without discouraging production, he
low normal domestic consumption for
1920-29.
3 Acceptance with modification of
the bouse amendment to permit ten
ants and ahare croppers to partici
pate In benefits.
3 Approval of a clause saying the
government, In making allotments,
shall consider dairy lands with other
farm lands. Senator Smith (D.. S. O.),
id this was to allay fears dairy cat
tlemen would not benefit.
Acceptance ' of bouse amend'
mente directing the glvernment to
"protect the Interests of small pro
ducers."
Acceptance of ft bouse amend
ment to make 12.000,000 available
from unexpended relief funds for wind
