DEFERRED PAYOUT

BIG TOTAL IN NORTH

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

DARGAVILLE, This Day.

This month the Ruawai and Northern Wairoa dairy companies are paying out a total of £78,973, representing deferred payment on last season's butterfat, to 1234 suppliers. Advances on June butterfat will also be paid. Details are as follows:—Northern Wairoa, 920 suppliers, £51,722; Ruawai, 314 suppliers, £27,251. One' supplier in Ruawai will receive approximately £300. The final figures bring the average pay-out to just over a shilling. ...

Ajan, another new port, ice-bound for many months of the year. Japan is active in the province of Sui Yuan in Inner Mongolia. A new zone of friction is simmering on the vague border between Inner and Outer Mongolia. Japanese militarist groups still talk of a holy war against Russian Communism, some of them pointing out conquest of the whole area east of Lake Baikal would be necessary as a preliminary to the "great Pacific war."

Many responsible Japanese are said to be fully aware of the dangers of any imperialist adventure against such a paramount military power as Russia is today, but with Hitler's action unpredictable in the west and recent military assassinations in Japan, the world watches on tenterhooks.

It would not take much of a spark, observers agree, to fire the powder existing in Mongolia. Then the land which poured forth the Golden Horde whose rulers, Kubla Khan, he who did "a stately pleasure dome decree"; Timur Leng, the great, he of the lame leg; Genghis Khan, who swept up to Europe's back door and made the Tartars a name to conjure with, would again be the centre of the world's stage.
