t MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1939. PAGE SEVEN JAPANESE FACING Drought in Korea May Cut Usual Large Surplus For Import to Japan Proper By Frederick B. Opper U.P. Staff Correspondent Tokyo (P) Sending rice to Japan . from foreign countries may seem like carrying coals to Newcastle but there is a strong possibility that the eoun try will be forced to import con siderable quantities of the grain next summer from Siam, French Indo-China and Burma to meet I threatened shortage. At present there is no danger of supply failing to meet de mands but next August and Sep tember may see stocks so de- Beware Coughs Following Flu After the flu is over and gone, the cough that follows feels like it will tear your chest walls apart.

It SEE ITI) pleted that importation will be necessary. The situation arises from me fact that although Japan an nualy produces close to 320. 000,000 bushels of rice the Jap anese people annually eat about 365,000.000 bushels. The differ ence of 45,000,000 bushels is supplied by the Japanese colon ies of Korea and Formosa ana in lean years by imports from foreign countries. Korean Crop Cut But this year Korea suffered a serious drouth which cut the output by an estimated 4J per cent. The result is that there is expected to be only sufficient rice there for Korea's own needs and the usual 30 to 40 million bushels exported to Japan will have to be sought elsewhere. Rice is far and away the most important Japanese food item and the government has taken steps to see that the population will receive sufficient quantities of this necessity. Rationing Is Suggested Most, drastic suggesting ad vanced so far is to institute a card rationing system. Manufac turers of sake (Japanese rice wine) have agreed to cut their production at least 30 per cent in order to save approximately 3,000,000 bushels of rice. The rice crop in Japan proper this year Is believed to be about average - despite disappointing production in western prefec tures due to drouth, although official figures have not been made public. However, in view of the seri ousness of the situation in Korea there will be little if any surplus available, no matter what strin gent measures are taken, for a carry-over to the following fall At least 40,000,000 bushels are generally set aside to insure even distribution in the early fall months until the current year's harvest begins to move from the farm districts. Next autumn even the most optimis tic don't foresee more than a quarter of 'the Usual amount available. And if the 1940 crop is a poor one then the situation may well be serious. Riots of 1918 Recalled The rice riots of 1918 when housewives. stormed warehouses and threw "stones through win dows of the Agriculture Minis try because of increased sales to warring nations abroad, a bad harvest and speculation sent prices jumping, still is fresh in the minds of government official. FIRST IN HISTORY (eestlBUM uoor pafe eoe) Eugene Told Need New High School Eugene, Ore., Dec. 14. (P) School board officials were pressing proposals here today for a new high school to accom modate 2,000 students after rec ommendation was heard at last night's board meeting. The present high school, at tended by more than 1,100 stu dents, is overtaxed and is out dated In many respects. The en rollment has climbed steadily for several years. The test of the council resolution read: "The council haying taken cogni sance of the resolution adopted by the assembly December 14 retarding the appeal of nnntsh toYemmtnt "First, auoclatee Itself- with the condemnation by the assembly of the action of the 0. S. 8. R. agalnat the Finnish state, and. "Second, for reasons set forth In the resolution of the assembly by virtue of article 14, paragraph four of the covenant, "Finds that by Its act the V. 8. 8. H. has placed Itself outside the Kague of Nations. "It follows that the V. S. 8. It. no longer Is a member of the league." Of the so states present at the assembly, nine abstained mm voting on the reaolutlon condemning Russia ae an aggressor and asking members to aid Finland. They were the three Scandinavian countries, Sweden. Denmark and Nor. way: three Baltic countries, Lithu ania, Latvia and Xstonla; Swttser land, China and Bulgaria. Egypt and China were elected members of the new council by IT votes and S4 votes, respectively. Finns Thankful After the vote against Russia the assembly received Finnish thanks. Finland's delegate, the white-haired Rudolf Holstl, walked to the tribune amid loud applause to etpreaa the Finnish people's "profound gratl' tude." He said the amount of practical aid which Finland would get from the assembly's action depended upon the capacity of the league's coordl natlng staff and the cooperation of the clvllld world with that stair Before the assembly vote. Oreal Britain Informed the league she al ready waa "taking steps to enable the Finnish government to obtain the material required for their de fensee In England." A sensation was caused at the start of the session by sight of the bent figure of Ignace Jan Paderewskl, pianist and former premier of Poland, who took bis place In the diplomatic gallery seat assigned to Poland aa an assembly member. - It was the first time In months that the snow-haired musician diplomat had left hla home near Lausanne. (It waa disclosed In Parts yester day that Paderewskl had been named a member of a national Polish coun cil to assist In formulating decrees.) esssHwwaaBearsii.i.ieeu imm ..iuasjsmjii Beapseeeaes for th children December 11.
