GERMANY IS PLANNING
TO CURB SPECULATION
IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Berlin, Nov. (by the Associated
Press. THE German government
announced today during debate on
taxes in the reichstag that it was
planning stringent measures to
curb speculation and traffic in for
eign exchange.
Minister of Economics Schmidt
also disclosed that one billion
marks worth of French wines.
champagnes and other liquors were
entering Germany through the i'm
port control station at Ems, and
that French perfumes, cosmetics
and other "superfluous articles of
luxury" were likewise pouring into
the country.
Were our situation not so
tragic" declared Herr Schmidt,
this conception on the part of the
entente of our internal needs would
have a humorous aspect. But the
situation is simply that either we
are to consume these French wines
and snap our fingers at the rapara-
tions obligations, or that va are to
resolve to fulfill our obligations; IN
which case we shall be compelled
to decline the French libatioEs."

OPEN AIR LIFE AND
HEALTHFUL GAMES FOR
GIRLS ARE FAVORED

New York, Nov. S.-Open air
life and healthful games for girls
are favored by Mrs. Warren G.
Harding. In a letter to Mrs. oliver
Hartman, national president of
the Camp Fire Girls. the wife of
the president, writes:
Il have never been able to
imagine any reason why the Camp
Fire Girls should not be just as
useful an organization for the girls
as the Boy Scouts. Moreover. 1t
seems to me that girls need this
kind of inducement to open air life
and healthful games and occupa-
tions, quite as much as the boys.
The part that women play in the
world has been greatly changed
even in my own generation, it has
been broadened and enlarged and
we will be wise if we recognize
that larger consideration for the
health and physical advancement
of the girls will better fit them for
the role they must assume"

JAZZ AN IS READY
To REDUCE HER
NAVAL PROGRAM
Nipponese, However, Want
the Safety of the Empire
Assured, Head of DeIega-
tion to U. S. Says.

Washington, Nov. 5 (by the AS
sociated Press) After reiterating
that Japan is ready to cut down
her naval program in agreement
with the powers provided the
safety of Japan is assured, Ad-
miral Baron Tomosab buro Kato,
minister of marine and ranking
head of the Japanese delegation,
proceeded today to answer the
question:
What is Japan's justification
for a big navy"
Every nation" he told news
paper men, feels the necessity of
self defense and knows that forces
sufficient for self defense must be
provided. The degree depends on
many factors and conditions. in
ternal and otherwise. and the re-
lations of the country with other
powers.
For instance. in the far east
Japan occupies an insular posi-
ton. Should there exist a nation
that intends to make an attack
upon Japan, 1t Is the naval force
alone that can defend our en-
pire. Japan is not self sufficient.
The question Of the smallness or
greatness Of navy depends upon
the point of view of each nation
concerned. / do not consider the
navy Of japan great. The plans
adopted are much inferior
to the programs adopted by Great
Britain and the United States"
