A RECENT example of the spy
4 n scare hysteria came when the
Toxic branch of the National City
Bank of New York ran into serious
trouble with the government while
taking photographs of the city for
publicity purposes.
The war Office made the accdSa-
ton that the pictures were actually
for use in case of American air raids
over Japan. Later, the foreign Of
flee announced it attached mo
blame or suspicion"
A recent American movie based
on the exploits of navy f1iers, Great
ed a sensation when it was shown
in Japan. It's title, Hell Divers, :"
was changed to THE Bombing
Corps of the Pacific" and it was
sold" to japanese audiences as an
example of the naval efficiency of
dangerous rival.
And what of China's future course
If the League of Nations fails to
evict Japan from Manchuria?
China-vast and weak, but with
traditional Celestial patience - has
a method all her own.
The japanese military campaign
has been costly to Toxic. The ma
ton has been forced off the gold
standard, the yen has sunk to less
than half its par value.
For the first time in history.
japanese securities are lower than
Chinese, and the government is at
its wits end as to how it can pay
foreign loans due this year and next.
JAPANESE taxes have multiplied
a several times over (from so to
60 per cent of taxes goes for war
purposes), but revenues are far
down.
There is a gaping deficit in the
national budget, the trade balance
is off $50 million yen, millions of
japanese workmen are unemployed.
and whole provinces of peasantry
are living on grass roots.
The Chinese boycott against jap
anese-made goods still operates,
despite the terrible punishment at
Shanghai, and industrial Japan
must look to Chinas 4OO,OOO,OOO
people for the bulk of it's trade.
Despite its military success. the
conquest of Manchuria has been an
economic failure.
Many millions of yen have been
poured into that venture. and al
most nothing has been returned. as
the region still is in chaos.
japanese army authorities in
Manchuria estimate it will take
them from five to seven years to
establish order And China
weak but very patient, is convinced
that Japan will be bankrupt before
that time.

SECURITY FOR
AGED POOR BIG
ELECTION ISSUE
Republican Party Platform
Silent on Pensions;
Roosevelt for Plan.
BY MAX STERN
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. with
the Republican party platform and
nominee silent on the subject, and
the Democratic platform and can
didate openly advocating old-age
pensions the question of security for
the aged poor is becoming an i'm
portant issue in next Tuesdays cleo
ton.
This point is made in the Novem-
Der issue of The Old-Age Security
Herald organ for the American
Association for Old-Age Security.
This organ says that old-age pen
sionS have merged las one Of the
principal issues which will sway the
decision of the electorate"
Governor Roosevelt and Norman
Thomas both have stressed the need
for old-age security. Roosevelt has
made it part of his campaign pro-
gram.
Roosevelt Backs Plan
It was Roosevelt as New York's
Governor, who urged and signed the
state pension act in 1880. Under
this law, $4,000 of New York'S aged
poor have been pensioned.
Lieutenant Governor Herbert H.
Lehman, Democratic candidate for
Governor of New York, is running
on state platform advocating con-
tinuation of this method of old age
relief.
Roosevelt has made no statement
as to his attitude on federal aid
to old-age pension states, such as
is provided for in the Dill Connery
bill. The authors of this measure,
Senator Clarence Dill (Wash.) and
Representative William P. Connery
Mass, both are Democrats.
Bound by Platform
Democratic Governors, like Gov
errors Wilbur Cross of Connecticut,
George White of Ohio and Demo-
cratic senators, like Wagner of New
York and others, are ardent advo-
Gates of the pension plan.
Democratic candidates are bound
by the old-age pension plank in the
Democratic platform State party
platforms of New York, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, Indiana and
Minnesota make special. reference
to old age security. In Michigan
and Missouri both major parties
advocate pensions.

situation in the Far East, describing what
has happened since the warfare at Shang-
hal nearly a year ago. Today's story out
lines relations between Japan and the
United States.
BY NEA Service.
A MERICA'S friendship for China
N in the latter's present Difficult
ties with Japan, evidenced in the
Shanghai incident, has done moth
ing to improve relations between
the two great Pacific naval powers.
With the United States approving
the Lytton commissions recon-
mendation that Japan disgorge the
fruits of her military conquest in
Manchuria and the whole matter
scheduled to come before the
League of Nations assembly Nov
IA, the situation takes on added in
terest. Two developments stand
out:
/. The japanese people, controlled
by militarists and gripped by war
hySteria, are convinced that sooner
or later their nation will be at
tackled from across the Pacific.
2. The United States Atlantic
fleet, sent to the Pacific for spring
maneuvers about the time of the
Shanghai trouble, still is in that
ocean. Also there, of course, are the
Pacific fleet and the ASiatic squad
ron.
Recently, Admiral Richard H.
Leigh, commander -in-chief of the
battle fleet, was given wider powers
of scope unique in peace time.
He was accorded full command of
the two vital naval districts in Ha-
wall and the Canal Zone with "su-
pervision of all administrative de-
tails affecting the fleet" Independent
of the navy department at Wash
ington.
TINE main body of the fleet now
n rests at anchor in the harborS
of San Diego and San Pedro, with
defensive units of cruisers, destroy
erS and submarines in Panama and
Hawaii.
This authority - theoretically, at
least-would permit Admiral Leigh
to order the navy's big dreadnaughts
to Hawaii or Panama on a moments
notice.
Failure of the United States to
withdraw its Atlantic fleet has pro-
voked the japanese almost as
much as this governments support
of the Lytton report.
Washington has let it be known
that it will not recognize the "inde-
pendent republic" of Manchukuo or
any other gains that Japan wins
by force of arms.
Gripped by an economic depres-
sion worse than that in America,
the japanese people have turned
blindly to the militariStS who prom
Use to lead the nation out of its
troubles.
For a long time these leaders have
fed the people with rumored threats
of an attack from across the Pacific.
Japanese diStruSt of America is
shown in recent public utterances.

in Manchuria, declared: Should

British Circus Stages
Most Grotesque Stunt

LOndOn.-The worlds most gro
tesque circus act, that of an actual
hanging on the gallows, is being
featured by travelling show
throughout Britain.
The spectacle is made the more
authentic by the fact that the dem
onstrator was a former public
hangman. With the gallows and a
dummy" body. he goes through the
motions of throwing the trap.
Clasps Of horror greet him every
where.
Attention OF the government has
been called to the act, but the

said there was no means so far as
he was aware to prevent such a
display.
Sentiment appears to be against

DOING DREDGING
WORK IN CANAL
Channel Is to Be Widened at
Point Near Chesapeake
City, Maryland
THREE DREDGES WORK

The dredge General of the
Arundel Corporation of Baltimore,
Md, has started dredging opera
tions in the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal in order to facilitate
passage of vessels through the in
land waterway The work to be
done will consist of widening the
channel on the north side of the
canal east of the Chesapeake City,
Md, bridge by dredging to a depth
of II feet at mean low water for
a distance of 2,O50 feet. An allot-
meut of $4,000 approved not long
ago by the Army Board of Engin-
eers permitted the work to start
Immediately. The widening of the
canal is to be made at a point
where there is a bend in the water
way. At present traffic must slow
down to safely navigate the chan
mel Traffic on the canal, espec-
tally of larger vessels and barges,
is steadily increasing, according to
engineers. 1t was necessary for
workmen of the Arundel Corpora
ton to remove rip-rap from the
north side of the canal at Chesa-
peake City before dredging work
could be started. The only traffic
in the canal now comprises steam
ers, tugs with barges and motor
boats. The usual draft of loaded
vessels is from to 10 feet and
the annual tonnage amounts to ap-
proximately 868,O0O tons The
material to be dredged from the
General" it is estimated will
amount to approximately 215,OOO
cubic yards. It consists of sand,
clay and gravel with small guam
tity of bog iron ore. This will be
transported to Broad Creek Dis
posal Area, just east of the site of
work on the south side of the
canal A submerged pipeline is be-
ing used to avoid interference with
traffic. There are now three
dredges working in the canal, the
Mantau of the U. E. D. at Bid
dies Point, and the Republic of the
American Dredging Company, be-
tween St. Georges and Summit.
