Pogratitchaye. and Manchuli are border posts, the former about 150 miles north of Vladlvostock and the latter a thousand miles away across Manchuria. Both are key positions to the Chinese Eastern Railway but the significance of their occupation is believed to be of political rather than of military importance. Msnchuli is definitely in Manchurla, being about ten miles from the border.

Pogratitchaya. according to avail- able atlases, is on the Russian side of the border and use of the word “capture” by the Osaki Asa-hi cor- respondent presumably would mean that the Russians had expelled the Chinese there and taken over entire possession of the place and control of the railway and administration.

July l0.- Heavy cannonading, according to travellers reaching here today, has occurred in the vicinity of Pograti- tchayb on thg central eastern border of Manchurie. where the Chinese recently destroyed tunnels of the Chinese Eastern Railway.

(ITTAWA lilllKS FUR. DUMINIUN APPEAL IN I93!

New Factors May Cause Election. Post- ponement From 1930.

OTTAWA, July l0—Present pros- pects of a. lighter crop, in Western Canada this year. continued uncer- tainly as to the severity of the blow which the United States is aiming at Canada. through the pending tariff legislation and the increasing neces- siiy of avoiding the outcome of the economic discussions at the next Im- perial Conference likely 90 be called in London in the autumn o! next year have all been r , nsible for the idea on Parliament Hill that the

' next federal general election will be

held in 1931, instead o! in i930, M was previously suggested.

Crop conditions in the Prairie Provinces are usually regarded as a fairly reliable political barometer. An abundant or even a good average crop in the last year or two years of the life of any Parliament ls con- sidered as a good basis for an appeal to the people. Had last year's bump- er crop occurred this year, next year would have been the best for holding s. general election, but as the entire Dominion is affected directly or in- directly by a poor crop. the electors as a whole are not so generously dis- posed toward a Government in r. lean year. The grain growers, conceiv- ably, are almost as well off in a lean crop year as in a fat harvest season, for higher prices rule for their grain, but the railways and steamship com- panies which do (he transporting, suffer because there is not the inn- nage. -

There is much discussion in offi- cial circles of the recent utterance of the Rt. Hon. Philip Snowdcn. Chancellor of the EXChCQum, who in- timated that the MacDonald Gcvcm- mcnt was disposed to discontinue the Imperial preference system. This would mean the restoration of the Mclfenua duties of 192i, but minus the reduction in favor of Canada on such commodities as automobiles, un- msnufsctured tobacco and some items of lesser importance, but for which Canada has created a conside ble market in Great ants . While non. James A. Robb, Minister of Finance. in the course of a_ brief interview given while visiting the Pacific Coast, expressed surprise at the statement made by Mr. Snowdsn. the viswa of some others here is that Bntsln would merely ee exorcism: bar im- denieble right in withholding a ter- iff preferenoe from Canada or any other part of the Empire, but such an action as this might warrsntably ba saprded as a display of ingrst- ituda. ,
