Mr. Hugh Hill, G'oderidh, who is Pres'iden't of tho As- sociation, occupied the chair and all Directors with the exception of 'four were in attendance. This Association, which was formed last April, is inter- ested in the cons'tan't improvement, of live stock throughout the County and it is through this organization that the 20% bonus is paid on all pure bred boll's purchased by farmers in Huron County, providing they have not pre- viously owned a pure bred sire. 'Oji course, before any bonus is paid, the animal must first pass inspection. The report of the Secretary showed that. during the month of June seventeen animals were inspected for the bonus.', Of this number two were not eligible because they had previously owned a pare -bred sire but th•e other fifteen passed inspection .and $293.00 in bonus money was paid. In October fifteen more animals were inspected: and eight were passed which will result in about $1175.0.0 being' distributed am- ong the owners of these animals, Of the remaining number, three were not eligible, and four were turned down on conformation and type. In view of the existing economic conditions the Association feels that the results obtained to date are quite gratifying, and undoubtedly, when conditions im- 'erove, more 'farmers will be interested in purchasing pure=bred sires of ap- proved type. At the organization meeting in April the following direct- ors were appointed, one for each 'Township: Ashfield John 'Farrish, 'Lucknaw 7; Colborne --' Hugh Hill: 'Goderich 4; Goderich—Herbert Cox, ,Bayfield 2; Stanley—Clifford Keyes, Varna 1; (Hay—IL, I -I.

The reeve said that in only six of the last fifty years had the law been adhered to in this respect. The counci'l's record for 19311, however, was an excellent one. as reviewed by the reeve. A deficit of $21400 in 1930 had been turned into a surplus of $'1,'500 in 1931. Besides the rate had been reduced two-tenths of a mill, Reeve Haacke was taken to task for not holding out for a bigger reduction in county officers' and offi- ficials' salaries, The reeve re- plied that be favored a .10 per cent, reduction, but when he saw that it had no chance of carrying in County Council he voted for the five per cent. reduction.

TROUBLE IN MANCHURIA To send a commission to study the causes ands, responsibilities of the Manchurian conflict as a step in end- ing the Far 'Eastern crisis w -as offic- ially, decided upon ina public session of the League of Nations council. But Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate. pointedly reminded the council that its task is to preserve peace, and that the peace has been violated between Jap- anese and Chinese troops far beyond Japan's railway zone. The Japanese delegate, Mr. Kenkichi 'Yoshizatva, accepted the idea of an investigation committee and insisted it must apply to the whole of China, as well as to 'Manchuria. Whether China will ac- cept this intervention in itsinternal affairs remains to be seen, A long time has passed since shortly before midnight on September 18th a shot was firednes ar \luk desist Manchuria. 1 ta. It was one of those shots which are heard around the world, but it now appears that no one ever wilt know Who fired this shot or whys According to the Japanese official account, the episode on 'September 18th was the climax of an annoying series of at- tempts to interfere with traffic on the South Manchuria Railway, a cam- paign deliberately carried en by Chin- ese militarists in order to embarrass the railway company, From May 18 to Septelnrber 18, according to the railway offi'cials. the Chinese had been putting rocks on the tracks, had thrown stones at the windows of pas- senger trains during the night, and had cut telephone wires belon'gin'g to Japan. Finally, On the clear moonlit night of 'Set ember 16 a portion of the railway trades about a mile from the Chinese Great North Barracks near •\[uicden was blown up. The Japanese railway' guard rushed to the slpot, caught several Chinese soldiers fleeing toward' their barracks, and fi'g'hting broke out. It is still a ques- tion whether the actual railroad ex- plosion had been engineered by the Chin -e a . soldiers so ers or whether it had been manufactured by the Japanese military in order to forth an excuse for the invasion; The evidences point- ed out by the Japanesewere not cots vincing in themselves. The incident which uceurred near the Great North Barracks 'f Mekden is likely to re- main a mystery and the end of which is not yet in ci,elet, Japan maintains that the commission's function is a gen etas' investigation of conditions 'i11 China with a flew- to sustaining Jap - rues con tentlon that Chin t cannot he cots:tiered aresponsible nation in the western sense of the word, japan feels that she staked so much on her present program in Manchuria that site might as well go farther and place the whole structure of Sin•oeJ'a- panese relations on a fins basis. This - means that 'Marshal Chiang Kai -Sleek president of the Nanking government, and his associates must be ousted and supplanted by some Chinese regime willing to co-operate with Japan. This• would mean that the policy of a - strong central Chinese government. would be abandoned, Japan has been consistently sympathetic to the Can- ton movement because M'r, Eugene Chen, one of its most irnfluen'tial lead- ers, has pledged Japanese favor a pol- icy of provincial autonomy and only a loose central government. The Jap- anese government contends that in the event of the situation in 'China proper becoming calmer through sub- stitution of a friendly regime for the present Nanking government, Chinese troops around :Chinchow• can easily be pacified, possibly by their incorpora- tion in the policing forces which the: independent :Man.ohurian government, now organizing at Mukden, must forts. The 'Japanese feel that the pre- sent conflict will be continued' for some months. The Japanese attitude regarding the ex -Emperor Pti Yi is• shown by statement explaining that Japan hold's Po Yi incommunicado in order to prevent the 'consummation of any nxrveanent designed to make hitn ruler of Manchuria, .since it is obviously unsafe for 'him to return to Tientsin, which is a centre of Chinese plots. Japan, having maintained neu- trality during the Soviet -Chinese con• flirt itt 1929 expects similar neutrality from the Soviet Union how. according; to a courteously worded note from, Japan, published in,lfascow. Mr. Lit-- vittoff states that sitice November- 1'b2. instructions have been given to So— viet representatives on the tnattage- meat of the Chinese Eastern 'Railway not to transport Chinese troops.

'T'wee months have elapsed since the occupa- tion of efultden and Kirin," says the petition, "since when China's depeu- den'ce on the League of Nations has implied China's weakness and increas- ed Japan''s audacity, which has gena the lengths of starting disturbances. in Tientsin, plotting restoration of the Monarchy and caphtrittg Tsiteihar.
