FAMINE VICTIMS IN JAPAN EATING BARK
Powdered Banana Palms Also a
 Choice Food Among Stricken ! Japanese Islanders

Tokyo, Sept. 4 Pl-A commission which recently returned from the Loochoo Islands, which He between Japan and Formosa, reported that the inhabitants have been reduced to abject misery because of the scarcity of food this year. Many of them, it was stated, are eating the bark of banana palms ground into powder. It is now proposed that the unfortunate residents be per mitted to use the sugar and sake taxes, amounting 10 about 3,o00,OoO yen, for the purchase of food.
 During the war boom the Loo choo islanders waxed prosperous and were able to buy rice. Their usual diet is sweet potatoes, part of which they grow and the remainder of which they import from Satsu- ma. The sugar price this year, how ever. was such that the inhabitants could make no profit whatever and were unable to import their usual sweet potatoe rations. In addition the bonito catch was also very poor. Consequently the Japanese commission reported a serious food shortage and recommended that steps be taken by the government to ameliorate the condition Of the Islanders.

 tic Despite Dark Outlook

SUPPRESS PAPER FOR
 MAKING A MISTAKE
Leading Roman Paper Seized For Enormously Declaring Criminal
 Had Been Identified

Rome. Sept Rl-Reformers who urge that newspapers be forbid den to print gruesome details of crimes or sensational news, tending to influence legal investigations or trials, won signal victory recently when the prefect of Rome exercised the powers vested In him under the fascist press law to suppress an im- portant newspaper which asserted enormously that the perpetrator of sensational crime had been iden- tlfied.
 An edition Of the Tribuna. one Of Rome's leading evening newspapers was seized and the next day the pre- feet announced the suppression had been caused by the papers nuhlca- ton of a statement that a criminal who had brutally killed a little girl had been found. This, the prefect explained. was untrue and it's vide spread publication. he asserted, tended to frustrate the ends of jus tice.

 The fuctuatlon in imports is far larger than the increase or de- crease In exports, which is responsi- ble for the adverse trade balance. Silk exports were favorable this year. duo to the continued active demand for this class of goods In the United States, and cotton fab rics and yarn exports were also sup ported well, despite the recent anti foreign agitation In Shanghai and other parts Of China.

American Films Bring
 Embarrassment to Sweden

Stockholm, Sept. 4 P>-A long period of economic depression which followed the World war and which still prevails in sweden and the i'm portation of American films are the chief reasons given which compelled Albert Ranft, owner of seven thea ters in Stockholm and Gothenburg, to put his affairs in the hands of a committee of his creditors.
 Ranft started in the theatrical business 25 years ago as managing director of one of the leading Stock holm theaters and gradually in creased his influence until he ob- tained control over a majority of the theaters In Stockholm. For many years his theatrical ventures were successful. The after-war depres- sion. which materially decreased at tendances, followed by the importa- ton of American films, created com petition too strong for the Ranft theaters.
