CAMPAIGN AGAINST
MILITARY EXPANSION
CONTINUES IN JAPAN
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, Feb. 11-Defeat of Yul1io
Osaki's resolution proposing curtail-
ment of naval ornaments in the house
of representatives here yesterday does
not end the campaign against mill
tary and naval expansion and in favor
of more constructive work at home,
according to newspaper comments on
the situation.
The IA shi Shimbun of Coako de-
clares that NJ. Osakis suggestion was
timely" while the Yomi Uri Shin
bun, of this city. asserts an agree
ment between the powers to limit
ornaments is obligatory to save ia
pan from eventual bankruptcy.
Predicts Disarmament
Although it was not expected that
the resolution would be adopted, and
some of his friends advised him
against insisting upon a vote because
rejection would be likely to be mis-
interpreted abroad, NJ. Osaki request
ed division of the house. In an ad-
dress he warned his countrymen that
curtailment of ornaments was COM
ing upon the heels Of the league of ma
tionS, which he was convicted was
upon a solid footing.
"If naval expansion" he declared,
sis aimed at America, it is ridiculous
and futile, as an examination of the
relative strengths of Japan and the
United States will demonstrate. ia
pan should take the initiative in re-
stricting ornaments and not follow
the example of Germany, which prov
ed that expansion of ornaments re-
suits in the growth of socialism and
communism"
Itsujiro Uehara, who was educated
in the United States and England,
supported NJ. Osaki's resolution, say
ing it's adoption would go far toward
disabusing the world of the idea that
Japan was militaristic and aggressive.

NEWSPAPER COSTS
STILL INCREASING
STATES PUBLISHER

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 11.-News-
paper publishing costs are at a very
high point and are still increasing, said
T. r. Williams of Pittsburgh, presi-
dent of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association addressing a meet
ing Of the Pennsylvania Associated
Dailes here.
Under such conditions there is no
possibility of decreasing advertising
rates." Mr.. Williams said, adding that
advertising rates were too low before
the war. and in the last few years have
not increased in proportion to in
creased publishing costs. The speak
er gave figures tending to show that
publishers costs have increased near
ly 200 percent in recent years and that
advertising rates advanced less than
half that amount
No Decrease Noted.
In no case has there been a de-
crease in labor scales made in the
last 60 days, but nearly all of them
called for substantial increases, some
as much as 90 to 80 percent, he said
Mr.. Williams contended that there
can be no hope of reducing skilled la.
Dor required by newspapers for years
TO come, and that while spot newsprint
prices are softening, the contract price
of six and one-half cents a pound is
the highest in 25 years.
1T is certain" he said, that con.
tract newsprint prices will remain
permanently higher than before the
war. Advertisers who know newspa.
per conditions are not asking for a de-
crease of advertising rates, as they
know that at present rates their ad
vertising space is the lowest priced
commodity they buy"

CHURCH SOCIETIES
OF RICHMOND MEET
AT GRACE CHURCH

Exceeding in number, enthusiasm
and interest all former conferences
Of the Federation of Missionary So
cieties in this city was the all day ses-
sion being held at the Grace Methodist
church Friday. The assembly repre-
sented IA of the city's churches and
was SO large that even the balcony was
partly filled.
Mrs. S. F. McCrea of Indianapolis,
one of the states most prominent
mission workers, was the speaker at
the morning assembly. Work carried
on among general missions in the
United States was described by Mrs.
McCrea in her talk on Home Mis-
sion. She especially emphasized the
work done among the thousands OF
roamers, mostly women and children,
found in some states. These people
she said are hop and berry pickers.
Quotes Figures
Startling statistics were given by
Mrs. McCrea on the lack of Christian
education among the young people in
the United States today
There are 27.000,0O0 children not
affiliated with any Protestant Sunday
school, and 16,000,000 not regular at
PENDANTS at a Sunday school," she said.
In urging the necessity of religious in
structlon in the schools Mrs. McCrea
called attention to the fact that 1000
600 Jewish children in the United
States are giving 335 hours a year to
religious training. while 5000 Cath
olics receive 200 hours of religious in
struction annually, because, as she
pointed out. it is made part of their
daily instruction.
In contrast to this is the Protestant
who reCeiN es an average of "a hours a
year. This is due to the fact that their
religious instruction is given in %
minutes of Sunday school, once a
week.
Stories illustrate Lecture.
Mrs. McCrea possesses a charming
personality besides being an able
speaker. Her address was made ex
ceptionally interesting by the many
incidents and stories which she told tc
illustrate her points.
Closing she quoted from G. K Ches
terton, "ChriStianity has not beer
tried and found wanting: it has beer
! found difficult and not tried"
Sylvester Jones, who far 20 wears
