 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Of the nations which will gather around the table on November II. to discuss dis. armament, Japan, as nation, has the most to gain financially, it is in dicated in unofficial figures gathered here and made public recently.
 Despite this evidence Japan has been the .leadiasn objectef to the pro. cedpre, although on the face of the figures referred to the Japanese have everything to gain and nothing to lose by a1 economy program; for. in spite of the comparatively enormous increase in that country's prosperity during the war, Japan is staggering today under an armament program which still is short of what the Japa nese "junkers" wotlf llke to have it.. There are strong reasons however, for not showing prudence in attempt ing to compete with other nations in an armament race. but in Japan en- deaYoring to secure from the other nations an agreement to discontinue the present schedule.

 WASHINGTON, Aug, g A policy of "mler'ciless9 enfofcement' of the dry laws is announced by Roy A Haynes, prohibition commissioneH.

 Stating that experience had shown the necessity of a change of policy with particular reference to de-alco- holized beverage manufacturers, Ma ior Haynes declared that offenders hereafter will not be condoned and guilty persons will be dealt with severely"
 "In the past leniency perhaps was justified" he continued, while per sons affected by the national prohi- bition act were becoming accustomed to the great changes thereby made
 "This reason no longer exists, how, ever" he added, land the illegal man. ufacture of beer or any other liquor by permit holder hereafter will bo on sGch a basis as will bear most heavily upon the violator of the law
 There will be no further warning. hut the law will be enforced with all the vigor necessary to accomplish the object of insurfng observance of the law. Excuses to the effect that violations are due to unauthorized acts of employees or other agents will not be accepted
 ''It is a well known rule of law that the principal is responsible for the acts of his agents and persons to whom permits are issued will not be permitted to avoid such respons- bility."
 State prohibition directors have been instructed to give to all brew cries dealcoholizing plants in their territory notice of the change of pol icy but failure to receive a copy will be no excuse for violations. Commis- sioner Haynes asserted.
 Any permittee who, after the date of this announcement. is guilty of violations of the law, the regulations or his permit, must suffer the con- sequences which his acts have brought upon him." he concluded.

JAPAN WILL TRY
 AND IMPROVE HER
 FOREIGN COMMERCE

TOXIC, Aug. 22.-Tn reply to an official inquiry the Kobe Chamber of Commerce is to submit the foi- lowing plan to the Department of Agriculture and Commerce for i'm proving Japan's foreign trade:
 First, effect a reduction in the cost of production and decline in the prices of commodities by lifting the ban on the export of gold and silver by encouraging investments abroad and by enhancing the eff. cicncy of production
 Second. increase the supply of low interest funds among traders and make banks buy cheap bills con- vertible at as long period as pos. sible."
 The chamber also recommends rules for preventing unreasona ble competition in selling goods in for eign markets, the establishment of a trade bureau in the center of Japan as an independent institution for en. couraging and facilitating foreign trade, the adoption of the export credit scheme as in England, the opening of a steamship service for the Black Sea, the East Mediterran. can and the Persian Gulf. and the lowering of foreign telegraphic charges.
