LOW COFFEE PRICE BRINGS REVOLT?
Street scene in Natal
President Getulio Vargas of Brazil Coffee being loaded in Brazil
When there is a revolution in Brazil, foreign observers generally
look to the price of coffee —and the price of coffee, Brazil’s big
money crop, now is the lowest in recent history. Thus, financial
stringency in Brazil is serious. Natal, of which a scene i 3 shown
above, is a big coffee port. It was taken by the revolutionists.
President Getulio Vargas of Brazil himself seized power through
an overthrow. It is possible that oppositionist parties, as well as
Communists, might have united to overthrow his regime, which ha*
been one of iron rule.

A direct accusation that the
Japanese army was in large mea
sure responsible for the North
China autonomy movement xvas
made today by the Chinese gov
ernment.
Japan was reported at the same
time to have made evasive answers to
queries by western nations—notably
Great Britain—as to Japan’s future
plans in North China.
The Nanking government, in a
sharp note of protest, said the plan
for separation of North China from
the central government was planned
by disgruntled elements, acting in
connivance with Japanese military of
ficers, and asked the Tokyo govern
ment to halt such activities of its
army :r(en.
Nanking also proposed to settle
North China troubles by diplomatic
action, and in another note resuested
the Japanese to complete withdrawal
from the important thflway junction
of Sengtai, which they seized early
Wednesday.
In reply to foreign diplomatic
queries, Japanese officials, it was
learned, have denied responsibility
Tor the separatist movement, which
they called a Chinese affair. At the
same time, a foreign office spokes
man said that attempts to move
Nanking troops northward to break

Store Manager
Bound, Gagged
For 30 Hours
Lexington, Nov. 29.—(AP) — Dave
Shepherd, employee of a chain store
here, was found bound and gaged in
its office this morning and reported
he was held up and left there by a
lone robber early Thursday, nearly
30 hours before he was found.
Shepherd’s wrists and ankles were
swollen and chafed by the cords with
which he was tied. There was u
handkerchief over his mouth and his
eyes were covered with adhesive tape
when Dave Livingstone, the store
manager, discovered him.
After being taken to a hospital for
an examination, Shepherd was dis
charged, however, apparently having
suffered no ill effects.
Merchandise in the store was in dis
array, but Livingstone said no money
had been left in the building and that
none was missing.
Shepherd said he went into the
store about one o’clck Thursday
morning to switch off window display
lights, and as he walked by a rest
room, the man came out, held him up
at the point of a pistol, tooTt his keys
and then bound and gagged him, ho

Supreme Court Decision

By LESLIE EICHEL
New York, Nov. 29. —The revolt in
Brazil has significance in the United
States. As usual with revolts in re
cent years, the Brazilian affaii’s has
been blamed on Communists. But be
neath the surface in Brazil is a far
more world-wide factor.
The “bottom has dropped out” of
the price of coffee. That is Brazil’s
chief crop. Brazil has, for years, been
buying up its own surplus coffee from
growers and destroying it, to main
tain prices.
In the end, however, supply and
demand wins. Brazil must sell its cof
fee to maintain prices. And Brazil
must buy from other nations so that
they can find the means to purchase
coffee.
Where does the United States fit
in? Through its own efforts to main
tain prices by artificial means, such
as the AAA and tariffs.
Suppose the Supreme Court finds
the AAA unconstitutional then
what?
Suppose it doesn’t find the AAA
unconstitutional, and the artificial
