the "biggest objection to the mar- keting proposal," Major Robertson snlil. Pl'l‘VlO\1L'y the government had set the lowest price skin eleg- lble at $10.

The Department of Agriculture, under authority of an act passed last May, ls prepared to make a. 50 per cent advance to ranchers on

the value of fox skins shipped through Co-operative Marketing Organizations.

The amount would be on the same bsriis as that ordinarily ad- vanced by marketing organizations. The rancher getting the money would be required to pay interest until the skin»; were sold. Under the government assistance plan. however. the rancher would not be liable to return any money in the event the skin did not sell for the amount of the advance.

Under normal conditions, Major Robertson said. the chances ' a rancher would be called on to rc- turn an advance by t-he fur mar- keting organization in which he was concerned were "practically nil." Under wartime conditions, however, it was different. y Any (xi-operative fur marketlngt organization in the Dominion was at liberty to handle all or a por- tlon of its furs under the plan, it was said.

When the scheme was first- pro- posed fur marketing organizations in this province sought. to have the government advance 80 per cent of the value of the skin. The department took the stand, Major Robertson said last night, that it was guaranteeing without strings i-he advance and for that reason it was equivalent to the former 60 per cent plan used by

The Japanese stated tonight that their forces were consolidating con- trol of the area around Yamhsien, about 30 miles inland from the place where the Japanese landed Wednesday under cover fire from warships. The landing place was 45 miles west of Pakhol, treaty port in the. Gulf of Tonklrig,

Japanese officials asserted they were straddling the road from Pak- lioi to Niiiikiiig, Chinese Army l-Icndqunrtcrs in Kwangsi. ‘This would put the troops still at least 60 miles from the main highway be-
