BY stan Correspondent of The Star.

BETHESDA, Md, November 49,

district tax moneys turned over to the
fire companies was recommended by
the Executive and Advisory Committees
of the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton at the first meeting of the new
committees held at the National Press
Club, in washington, last night.
The committees also recommended
to the federation that the question of
the scope of the f1re-tax areas in re-
gard to the problem of one area sup
porting a fire department which serves
a wide area beyond the fire-taX area be
studied and that the possibility of es-
tablishing q central alarm system be
looked into.
Following a long discussion of the
problem of whether or not it was adj
visable to have the county and State
require the employment of local labor
at current wage scales in construction
work under their jurisdiction, it was
decided to postpone any recommended
ton on the matter until the next meet
ing.
'The action Of the inter federation
conference in recommending that mon
eys contributed by Federal employees
living outside Washington in the de-
partmental relief drive about to start
automatically go back to the place
where these employees live was Endorsed
by the committees.
It was recommended that the Com
mittee on Schools take up the problem
of the standardization of school con-
struction and the methods of school
maintenance. A survey of the county
to discover any existing organizations
of a civic character eligible to mem
bership In the federation was recon-
mended to be taken up by the Commit
tee on Membership.
Elimination of members Of commit
tees of the federation who do not at
tend the committee meetings was rec
commended for consideration by the
Committee on Constitution and By
Laws.
The meeting, which was presided
over by Frederic P. Lee, new president
of the organization, was the first held
by the two committees since the recent
elections of the federation.

TINE possibility of satisfactory
settlement Of the Japanese
dispute in Manchuria through
l. mediation by the League OF Ma
tons is slight, Yukio Osaki,
member of the Japanese Diet, believes.
The Japanese leader has arrived in
Washington while en- an unofhcial tour
Of this country and Europe before re-
turning to Japan in February.
Mr.. Osaki has been a member OF the
Lower House Of the Japanese Diet for
more than 40 years, during which time
he has seen his country pass through
1nnumerable crises and witnessed two
wars over the Manchurian question.
1.-The Manchurian question Is one OF
life and death to the japanese" he
said.
Every man and woman In Japan
knows Manchuria means the very ex-
istence of our country. We have rlsked
disaster twice, and thousands have
given their lives to the cause OF pre-
serving the Japanese rights in Man.
churia as guaranteed by the treaty aft
er the Sino-Japanese War. The treat
ment of the Japanese after that war,
and the violation of their treaty rights
by certain European nations, has taught
Japan to mistrust others in arbitrating
her rights. Japan always has looked
upon arbitration as Intervention, where
as the Chinese have additionally in
vited it. The Japanese have had very
bitter experience with arbitration.
"Of course, there is certain group
in Japan which believes Japan should
abide by the decision of the League of
Nations, and that she should accept the
terms of the nine-power pact. but the
sentiment of the nation as a whole Is
behind the country settling the matter

Help for the Fun of 1t

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November l9-Bruce
Barton last night urged Americans to
aid the unemployed for the fun they
would get out Of 1t rather than out of
a sense Of duty.
To illustrate his theory, Barton, in
radio address over Nation wide
hook-up, related this story:
"The most suecessfuI person I ever
knew was very simple, unpretentious
woman. She never owned an automo-
bile and never thought of wanting one.
"Yet she had q good time In almost
every country on the globe.
Her income was only q few hun

not one merely agitated by the mill
tariStic party-it is one upon which the
japanese people are united, no matter
what may be their party convictions.
"It is Japan that has made Man

has built the TOO miles of railroads in

the country safe to live in. The Chi
nese know this, and are migrating to
Manchuria each year by thousands.
the existence Of the railroads built by
Japan, and the present question is one
which must be settled to the satisfae-
ton Of Japan"
Mr.. Osaki believes his countrymen
are supporting the military movements
of Japan in Manchuria.
Mr.. Osaki's purpose in visiting the
United States as well as Europe, before
the Japanese Diet convenes in February,
is to study the economic and political
situation in other parts of the world.
He does not think any nation today
has a satisfactory form of government,
and expressed the opinion that his own
country had more governmental troubles
than any other.
Mr.. Osaki's home Is in Toxic, which
he says has never fully recovered from
the disastrous earthquake Of q few
years ago.
He is accompanied by his two daugh-
tiers, Shalnaye and Yukika, two inter-
esting young ladies who speak English
fiuently and dress in the Smartest of
European fashion. Miss Shainaye
recently completed her education at
Dana Hall, while her younger sister,
now on her first visit to the United
States, has just been graduated from
school in Toxic.
