 "Japan has not yet definitely re- piled to the armistice proposal. It is wrong, however, to say Japan has decided against the armistice.

EQUALIZATION OF COSTS

Boston. Nov 21.---Now ls the time for New England commun- ities to make thorough studies of their governmental expenditures and of the probable. expenditures during the coming year, with . view to reducing tax burdens by eliminating all expenditures that are not strictly necessary. This was the declaration here to-day of Walter Tufts. president of the Worcester Taxpayers' association and of the Worcester County Na- tional bank, speaking at the com munity development session of the Seventh New England Conference held under auspices of the New England Council. He described the reasons bringing about formation of the Worcester Taxpayers asso- citation.
 'The population of Worcester in- creased S4 per cent during the per- iod from 1912 to 1931," Mir Tufts declared. 'The taxes increased 450 per cent during the same per- iod. We expect and want to take care of our people when they are in need and not for minute do we desire to evade this great re- sponsibility. However, when we realize our position, it is most im- portant to make certain sacrifices, if necessary, to meet emergencies of this character-and not strain too far the resources of those who have to carry the burden"
 After describing various legisla- tive developments and new public works which increased the city's expenditure, the speaker declared that "the result has been inevita- ble-a tax increase to meet these expenditures and carry on as usual. But why carry on as usual and simply charge it up? The situa- ton calls for something unusual for full knowledge of the facts to meet the problem intelligently.
 "The result has been the forma7 tion of the Worcester Taxpayers, association to foster, encourage and promote a on-partisan inter- est in, and study of, the business and fiscal activities of federal, state, county, and municipal gov activities, as such activ- ities may affect the taxpayers of worcester, and, by cooperation with such agencies. strive to assist in effecting economy and efficiency in such activities"

N. E. Recreation

 SIOO,OOO Budget to Sell Section's Advantages

were present from all six New England states. The recreational meeting was one of four group ses- sions occupying the forenoon pro. gram to-day of the Seventh New England Conference.
 Interests benefiting from the recreational industry include, un- der the heading of transportation the railroads, oil companies. bui companies, air transport concerns and steamship lines. This group divides 20 cents of the "tourisi dollar"
 Another 20 cents goes for ac. commodations, behefitting hotels inns, and overnight camps and houses. Twenty-Five cents goes tc retail stores.
 Restaurants, roadside stands hotels and inns are benefited by the 21 cents out of every dollar going for fodo. Golf courses and theaters are among the interests reaping the eight cents for amuse. ment, while gift shops, hotels and news stands absorb the six cents for confections and sundries, Co. Barron declared.
 Carrying his analysis of the fig. ures further, he showed that the money spent in retail stores fol accommodations, and for food benefited food, clothing, equip. ment and drug manufacturers. All the money spent on recreation, he declared, indirectly and eventually is reflected in better business foi banks, insurance companies, pub. lie utilities, and miscellaneous manufacturing concerns. A largs portion of it, he asserted, goes tc the payment of taxes.
 On the basis of these figures, Go Barron declared. recreational ad vertising and promotion efforts fol New England, such as his commit tee proposes, should be supported financially by broad group O, usiness interests, not merely those usually referred to as "the recrea' tional interests."

higher degree of stabilization of employment than has prevailed.
 Improved management means that employers generally recog- nize that they hold within their hands a greater capacity to con- trol the factors affecting employ ment than has been recognized generally in the past. Improved management should work toward security of employment. The great est cause of uneasiness and appre- hension of workers is insecuriey of the job.
 Unemployment insurance, crea- ted and administered through gov ernmental influence, state or fed- eral, should be deprecated until we know more about the effect of such schemes in other countries" said Mir. Kendall. Rather should industrial initiative be taken through the development of un- employment reserves by individ- ual companies, through the intro- duction of such community plans as the Rochester plan, and through consideration of such statewide plans as the one being developed | in Wisconsin" re.

 "There has been startling prog ress in the surgery connected with broken and diseased bones," he said, land now their setting and knitting together is not the dif- ficult problem it was in former years.

 Orthopedic surgery deals with not only the feet, he pointed out. but also with any bone that will cause deformity.

 It was indicated that Japan would still refuse any solution of the conflict which would save the face" of the Chinese national gov ernment at Mapking, feeling that Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the Chin- ese government, must be over thrown.
 The second statement by the gov ernment was a definite softehing of it's earlier announcement.
 The cabinet had contended that the armistice would be Tantamount to- withdrawal of Japanese troops from Manchuria, as China has de- manded prior to peace negotia- tions. Japan definitely refused such proposals, but the second state- ment modified the governments position to the extent of pledging peace So long as the Chinese do not molest Japanese troops or in- terests in Manchuria..
 The Japanese troops already have extended their control over the capitals of all three Manchurian provinces. The governments posi- ton would mean that the situation would remain unchanged while the armistice Is in effect as far as Jap anese activities are concerned. It would be necessary, however, for the Chinese to remain passive to keep the armistice effective.

 Three weeks ago Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean ordered the city rid of such undesirables and the emergency squad has been devot- ing it's time checking up on some of the boys who have been "out in front" in their daring methods.
 No evidence was takn in court this morning. Vessastro in re- sponse to questions from Judge Meyer stated that he had resided here for sometime and had known Kaplan for over year.
 The $15,000 bonds is the highest demanded of any city court sus- pect in years. It was interpreted as cooperation between court and police officials in an investigation of the gangs presence here. The police do not claim that either of the accused are identified with the actual muscle men," but are in- clined to suspect them as the re- suit of their visit and alleged de- mands upon MT Sullivan.

 The attempt made to blackmail MT Sullivan was a big surprise to police in one way, although for many years he has been the target for muscle men,. Mir Sullivan has not been connected with any of the so-called gambling interests here in over two years and has spent most of his time seeking better health in all parts of the world. He is regarded as Water bury's champion tourists.
 The authorities on receiving a tip early last evening set a trap for the two accused and made the pinch. Lieutenant Joseph Stev- ems and Detective Joseph Bendler and Connie" Shannahan made the arrests.

On the sidewalk group of maidens craned their necks. A member of the Grandi party heard one ask another: "Who is it?"
 The reply was lost, but the eavesdropper heard the first girl say:

 Grandi gave each of his seven chauffeurs here $40. It was the highest gratuity they had received from a visiting statesman. One of them remarked:
 Yeah. The king of Siam was pretty good too. He gave us $50 apiece, remember?" Up to that record was $20. Now they are wondering if Chancellor
