BIG CUT IN EXPENSE
Of SHIPPING BOARD
Chairman Benson Informed of
the Saving Effected by
His. Orders.

approximately s2s.Soe.o0o annually
will be saved the United States Ship
ping Board by wage reductions and
cuts in personnel ordered within the
past six months by Chairman Benson,
he was Informed today by officials Of
the treasurer's ONCE OF the board.
Much of this money has already been
saved by the Is per cent reduction in
wages paid on Shipping Board ves-
sells and the elimination of overtime
since May I. The reductions and elm
inations put into effect on the order
OF the chairman will bring about a
net saving of approximately s555. 900
week. IT was said at The board Of
fees today.
Where Expenses Are Cat.
About s12.o00,00O will be saved an
nually by cuts in the persnonel Of
the administr rative departments of
the board. the chairman was in
formed. or by elimination of unneces-
aafy duplication OF work both in the
organizations of the Shipping Board
and the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
This sum includes reduction of the
forces engaged in maintaining ves-
sells and in general maintenance
work. The Is per cent wage reduce
tion put into effect May 1. on vessels
operated by the Shipping Board. will
save $10,8eQ.o00. Elimination of over
time work by Scamen and other en-.
pioyes on the vessels Of the board
will bring about another reduction in
expenses OF $4,000 The figures
turned over to the chairman today
were regarded as an answer to
charges Of Senator Kenyon, made in
the Senate yesterday, that the board
was expending unnecessarily large
sums of money.
Effect Of the strike.
That the shipping strike is not hav-
ing a depressing effect on operation
Of Shipping Board vessels. but is
rather having the opposite effect, is
held to be shown by figures an
nounced at the Offices Of the board
the strike had not yet begun. sixty
four Shipping Board vessels were
taken out Of service and only twelve
assigned for operation. During May.
while the strike was in progress. If
ty-four vessels were taken out Of
service and seventy-one were re-
turned for operation. showing q gain
for the month Of seventeen ships in
operation.
At the beginning OF May the Ship
ping Boards steel vessels laid up
totaled I'll. with an aggregate tom
mage Of 4.71l.705. At the end OF the
month 6s4 ships were tied up, total
ling 4,46S, 900 tons. a gain of about
ESQ. 900 tons in service for the month.
The improvement in shipping condi-
tions. however. it was said today, are
possibly brought about by the coal
strike In Great Britain.

JAPANESE ARMY CHARGED
WITH KOREAN ATROCITIES
Presbyterian Missionary Report
Says Prsmier Hara Is Under Con-
troll of Elder Statesmen.

TORONTO. June 3.-The report OF
the board of foreign missions, sub
mitted tonight TO the Presbyterian
General Assembly, charged Japanese
military forces in Korea with terror.
ism and atrocities. The accusations
referred to acts Of 5000 troops. sent
across the northern Korean border
into Manchuria. ostensibly. the board
declared, to suppress Korean plotting
and to punish bandits for destroying
the Japanese consulate at Hoon
Choon.
The report stated that owing to
both the publicity given the punitive
commission of six military men was
sent to Kanab. and the head OF tho
commission afterward accused the
missionaries OF melting the Koreans
to plot against the government. Tne
war ofiice, 1t also declared. frankly
referred to the missionaries a. anti
Japanese pfopagandtsts."
Premier Hara and his government

doubtless like to deal summarily with

commoner and many OF his colleagues
are of democratic tendencies. But 80
long az the Genro. or elder states
men, really influence the government,
so long will the war ofsice be, in ef-
feet. independent OF the diet>and un-
controlled in its methods.
THE hope of Japan is in that spirit
of fearless criticism exhibited by a
section of the press and in the slowly
growing spirit of democracy which,,
in an age which abhors militarism.
must ultimately win its way to power.
and make the rights Of the common
people the supreme consideration. In
the meantime the cause OF Christianity
fourishes in Korea because Of the
prosecutions of the petty ofacials
the country. In spite OF
the well-meant assertions OF the civil
ian arm of the Korean government,
we cannot forget Marquis ito's state
ment that Christianity Is inimicaole

ment in Korea Our sympathies are
