OPEN INDUSTRIAL
EXPANSION MOVE
Trade Bodies of Greater
Washington See Benefits
in Factories Here.

A concerted movement fostering
great expansion of the industrial life
of sections of the District of Colum.
bia and of the metropolitan area of
greater Washington today was
launched by a committee of represen-
tatives of five trade bodies of this
city, Alexandria and Arlington Coun-
ty.
Holding that industrial expansion is
vital to the growth and financial stabil.
ity of this area, and affirming their
belief that development of additional
manufacturing plants need not clash
with plans for Identification of the
Capital the joint committee adopted a
detailed report calling for formulation
of definite program of expansion.
PRONUNCIATION of an educational cam
paign in support of the project and
for the appropriation of funds neces-
sary for carrying out the program.
Action on the matter was taken by
the joint committee of trade body
representatives in approving the re-
port of a subcommittee headed by
Edward D.; Shaw, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, and including Dorsey w.
Hyde. jr.. secretary of the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce; Ben T.
Webster. secretary of the Washington
Board of Trade, and X. b. Swope, Sec
retary of the Arlington County Cham
ber of Commerce.
Careful Survey Sought.
The joint committee also recon-
mended that careful survey be made
of the present industrial development
Of hfz IN he h1n. te
for the proposed expansion program.
1t was suggested that light" manu-
featuring plants, as opposed to the
larger and heavier" types. be invited
into this section and that efforts be
made to obtain such enterprises as
would supplement rather than COM
pete with existing concerns.
The proposals of the joint commit
tee now will be referred back to the
various trade organizations for action
before there can be any definite or
ganization effected for carrying out
the scheme.
The movement today is the culmi-
nation of agitation which has been
conducted for some time by business
leaders of Washington for greater
commercial development here. The
Chamber of Commerce has gone on
record favoring the general plan, and
Martin A. Leese, chamber president,
has actively worked tor it's adoption.
Expansion of the industrial develop
ments here, 1t was argued. would
bring new money into the vicinity,
serve to lower the tax rate by provid-
ing a considerable new element sub
ject to taxation and provide additional
employment for Washington resi-
dents.

FEAR ARMAMENT RACE.
Japanese Newspapers View u.
Cruiser Increase With Anxiety.

TOXIC, January II Pl.-The yer.
nacular newspapers, apparently are
viewing the contemplated increase in
the number of American cruisers with
anxiety. fearing it means another
naval armament race.
The Mainicni, one of the oldest
newspapers in Japan, expresses
establishment that President Coolidge
gave his consent to an increase, but
says that it may be. asit was in the
case of the immigration restriction
bill, that the President perhaps acted
against his own Judgment.

Subject of Budget Debate.

President Coolidge's attitude toward
construction of three new cruisers has
been a subject of controversy In Con
gress. He omitted provision for them
from the budget. and later announced
that he stood by the budget recon-
mendations. When the naval bill was
under debate in the House, however,
Representative Tilson, the Republican
floor leader, said the three-cruiser pro-
posal was in substantial accord"
with the Presidents attitude.

BARRIERS say imitation of mems

With women copying masculine
fashions in hair cuts, dress and

say it stands out more than ever
as badge of masculinity, and the
vogue of the clean shaven man is

MUSSOL|NI REGIME
PRAISED BY SHAW
Noted EngIishman Reaffirms
Faith in Dictator in
Reply to Critic.

BY the Associated Press.
TURIN, Italy, October 13.-George
Bernard Shaw yesterday reaffirmed
his belief in Premier Mussolini in a
letter published i'm Gazetta del Popolo.
The letter was in the form of a reply
to one written by Friedrich Adler.
Austrian editor. to an English news
paper attacking Shaw for his views
on MusSolini.
Shaw is quoted as saying that one
must treat with respe It man of n
foreign state who has established a
dictatorship in a great and modern
country without single personal ad-
vantage, without any social, official or
academic cooperation, but with only
his black shirts
Work Like NapOIeon'S.
Italy after the World War was left
In a situation analogous to that which
Napoleon found in France on his re-
turn from his Egyptian campaign,
Shaw declares. Mussolini then, with
out the military prestige of Napoleon,
did for Italy what Napoleon did for
France, the letter says.
Discussing at length the subject,
dictatorship or democracy, Shaw as
serts that the despotic lire is worth
democratic franc is worth only 2
pence.
Italy, declares Shaw. is governed
by a man who is the product of the
people, while France. free. equal and
brotherly. is ruled by Monsieur" Poin-
care. Mussolini, despite his impulsive
acts, which may appear menacing, has
not yet damned the Nile, separated
the waters of Egypt or pried open

England, says Shaw.
Holds Criticism Futile.
II one compares Italy with the
Utopia of MaZzini, Italy may appear
plainly abused and tyrannized, Shaw
declares, but likewise In America.
France, England and Russia.
Shaw concludes by saying that moth
Ing is to be gained by insistently max.
ing charges against Fascism, because
Fascism could respond "tu quoque"
tthou also). Defects attributed to
the Mussolini government are neither
Fascist or Italian. they are defects of
human nature, he declares.
