WASHINGTON, Dee. 7.—(UE)— Luminous bombs, allegedly dropped from an American army airplane on Mexican soli, today provoked an international incident.
The Mexican embassy presented a note to the state department protesting the alleged destruction of Mexican forests by 11 flares supposed to have been dropped from planes of the U. S. Air Corps near Encinada, Baja California.
Mexico expressed “surprise” over the incident and lamented the frequent “violation” of Mexican territory by American military ships.
War department officials, informed of the protest, promptly called on Major General Malin Craig, commandant of the ninth corps area, with headquarters at San Francisco, to investigate the alleged incident
Speaking informally war department officials said if the Mexican allegations were true the offending fliers would be dealt with severely.
Mexico, its note inferred, takes a very serious view of the supposed bombing. It alleged that the army planes were “practicing bombardment” when the “luminous bombs” were dropped, starting forest fires and causing material damage.

Soviet, Britain Break Looms
Disruption Will Benefit U. S.; Persia Firm On Cancellation
By United Press
Threatened disruption of trade relations between Great Britain and Soviet Russia and between Great Britain and Persia may rebound to the benefit of the United States, developments abroad indicated yesterday.
Great Britain bluntly threatened to break trade relations with Soviet Russia tiDless the Soviet government apologizes for a recent newspaper article accusing the British foreign office of a forgery plot.
Persia has taken a firm stand on its cancellation of the vast oil concession held by the Anglo-Persian Oil company, which is controlled by the British government.
A high authority in London informed the United Press that important American financial and industrial interests are negotiating for a broad commercial arrangement for the “industrialization of Persia.”
Inferences drawn in London point to the possibility of the United States taking over the Persian oil concession.
A Persian military mission is in the United States secretly, it was learned, negotiating purchases worth several million dollars for the Persian war ministry.
The Persian legation in London denied Soviet Russia has anything to do with cancellation of the British concession.
Farm Bureau Urges Gold Price Increase
CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—O)—The American Farm Bureau federation unanimously approved tonight a policy of government maintenance of commodity price levels through arbitrary control of the price of gold.

New Committee Formed To Help Needy Students

U.S. Asked To Aid in Settling Japan Dispute
League of Nations Also Invites Russia To Participate
Presence of Two Major Powers May Hasten Any Conciliation
GENEVA, Dec. 7.—(U.P)—In an atmosphere definitely hostile to j Japan, a proposal was made today before the assembly of the League of Nations that both the United States and Soviet Russia be invited to take active part in the league’s efforts to settle the thorney Manchurian dispute.
At the time the smaller powers were drafting an angry resolution calling for non-recognition of Man-choukuo, the so-called puppet state set up under Japanese supervision in that area known as “the cockpit of Asia.”
Battle of Powers
Today's session of the assembly developed into a definite battle between the major powers and the smaller states. Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy made frantic efforts to ward off just such a resolution as that which will be presented by the smaller powers tomorrow.
The bigger nations hold that the resolution will antagonize an already belligerent Japan and disrupt all efforts looking toward conciliation. But Spain, Ireland and Czechoslovakia paid no heed to such warnings, insisting that the time lias come for a showdown between the league and Japan.
Stress Conciliation
Stressing conciliation as the only rational means of solving the bitter dispute between China and Japan, the delegates of the great powers arose, one after the other, to outline their views. Each, in his way, agreed that the Lytton report—which holds Japanese action in Manchuria to have been unjustified—is fair to both sides. But the tenor of each speech was against hasty action by the league.
Sir John Simon, Great Britain’s foreign secretary and most able lawyer, offered the suggestion that the United States and Russia join with the league’s committee of nineteen in promoting an agreement between the two disputing nations.
