The time to guard against the re-
currence of a business depression
like that which threw 100000
Americans out of work in 1921 is
during just such periods of busi-
ness expansion as the country now
experiences, according to the report
of the committee on Unemployment
and Business Cycles appointed
by Herbert i;oover, Secretary of
Commerce, in his capacity as Chair
man of the President s Conference
on Unemployment.
After four months of exhaustive
study, the committee, headed by
Owen d. Young, president of the
General Electric company, has re-
ported to Secretary Hoover that un-
less the individual business man in
forms himself constantly as TO the
true state of supply and demand in
his particular commodity line he in
evitably will be led to over-buying
again at high prices, and that
means a dangerous and costly
slump, draining the dollars earned
in : good times.
General measures recommended
to aid the business man in safe
guarding himself from initiation in
clude control Of credit expansion by
banks and the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN, control of private construc-
tion during peaks of building,
avoidance of competition with pri-
vate business during boom times
by control of governmental con-
struction, and perhaps the institu-
tion of unemployment reserve
funds.

After the final meeting of the min
listers yesterday. Acting Premier
Uchida decided upon the PRONUNCIATION
of martial law, the emergency COM
Wandering act and the establishment
of relief bureau.
1t is reported that martial law has
been extended 10 Yokohama.
All markets throughout Japan have
been closed.
Population Is Starving.
The terrible plight of the popula-
ton in Toxic and Yokohama is
graphically depicted in various news
paper dispatches received here. So
acute has the food shortage become
in the capital that the hungry people
have been trying to catch the carp
in the pond in Hibiya park.
1t is estimated that at least 1000
tons of rice are needed in Toxic alone.
The quantity actually available can
not be determined as the fire has
destroyed considerable stocks.
The autho- tiles are making great
efforts to collect supplies to ship to
Toxic. Meanwhile the price of rice
is advancing.
So extensive is the damage in Toxic
that it is possible that the national
capital may be transferred temporar-
lily to kyoto or to this city.

ing hand in the relief work and has
refused to rest. He has given orders
that the imperial palaces may be
