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-

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

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

"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

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.)
