BUY BONDS NOW!

Do you realize the rapidty with which actual
ready cash is ping up in the banks of the country?
Are you aware the banking world and investment
field almost bare of bonds to meet the increasing
accumulation of money? To have idle money is I'M
businesslike and it should be put to work quickly
The scramble for bonds is on because money is get
who bought bonds were glad to get 31a per cent
interest on their investment. Now to 10 per cent
is obtainable but with the further accumulation
of money, the demand for investment and inability
to employ it freely and quickly, will tend to reduce
the rate Of interest return and per cent and per

This will many bonds purchased now, at todays

current rate of interest obtanable, in less than
10 years time will sell at advance of SO per cent

Previous to the discussion Of the en-
listed strength of the army, an attempt
was made by Representative Jones,
Democrat, of Texas, to have the appro-
priation for the pay Of officers during
the coming year reduced from S42,-
100000 to S30,0o0,000. Such cut, he
said, would necessitate decrease Of
approximately 5000 in their number.
Chairman Kahn, Of the Military Com
mittee, led the fight to keep the officers

maximum.
"The experience Of this country in
the world war ought to be lesson for
all times" he declared. at took us

Plea for Covenant
To Cut Armament
Is Made I'm Japan
Proposals Offered by Ozaki
Threaten to Split Oppo-
sition Party; Commit
tee TO Recommend Action

TOXIC, Feb. 8 (By The Associated
Press}.-Proposals that Japan agree
with other world powers to restrict
ornaments, which were recently SUBJ
mitted to the Kensei-Kai, or 0pposi-
ticn, party by Yukio Ozaki, promi-
nent member of the organiza tion, have
been referred to special committee
of eleven me nbers of the party. 1t is
declared by newspapers here that the
proposals threaten to split the Kensel-
Kai party, as many members agree
with NJ. Ozaki's theory, but assert it
is impracticable for Japan to curtail
her military and naval programs.
1t is pointed out by the Kokumin
shimbun that Japan's financial posi-
tion will not permit her successfully
to compete with the United States and
England. The pending budget sets
aside 80 per cent OF its total amount
to naval expenditures. while Is per
cent would be appropriated to the
army, the newspaper declares.
"To devote SO per cent of the ma
tion's total expenditures to the army
and navy" the newspaper says, "is a
record breaking example in world his
tory"
NJ Ozaki asserts the total armament
expense of Japan will eventually reach
rs per cent of her. total expenditures,
and he urges that msre money be given
60 education, declaring that, even by
adopting the double shift" system, the
schools OF the country cannot accom-
modate the children seeking admit
tance. He declares the greatest cause
for Japan's isolation is the appearance
that this country is conducting all it's
work by means of military strength.
He has contended that Japanese naval
expansion, in spite of denials, has had
America and Great Britain as its OBJ
jective, and he has asserted it would
ruin the country eventually.
