| Copyright 1882 by United Press) Washington, July 26.-UP)- The United States government has invested in American business, in- dustry and agriculture or has avail able for such investment an aggre- gate sum equal to 27 per cent of the amount that Russia has put so | far into it's entire five year plan.' It has invested in the last year or is r,ady to invest this year Russia is investing in the same period.
 The United States is second only to Russia among the nations when it comes to public investment in business. industry and agriculture. Figures compiled by the United
 Press show that this country has | already invested $3,096,329,6S7.01 in American business and has | available a potential sum of $4.- 8,1S5.514. This has been made | possible through the Reconstruc- ton Finance corporations; the farm
 loan board and other agencies loaning to agriculture; the home loan banks and smaller govern
 meht enterprises. The total al-
 ready invested or authorized for investment amounts to $7,664.515.- | 201.01.
 1 One hears much about Russia
 and the five year plan, under
 which the government has taken
 over, developed and expanded Rus
 sia's industry and agriculture. The
 Soviet information bureau gives
 the total Russian investment in the
 five year plan at approximately
 $27,5O0, 900. 900.
 In the fourth year of the five
 year plan, Russia put approximate
 ly $10,500, 100000 into business. In
 the same period the United States
 invested or made ready for invest
 ment close to $6,0O0, 000.0O0 or ap-
 proximately SO per cent as much
 as did Russia.
 Perhaps these stupendous figures
 are more understandable when
 broken down to specific cases. of the Reconstruction Finance cor
 poration since it was formed about

 that amount $213,8S2.724 was | loaned to railroads. That sum
 represents 4 1-2 per cent of the to-
 tai market value of all railroad

 1t is equale to about 25 per cent of the aggregate market value of all the railroad stocks listed on the

 The effect of the percentages for farm homes ip bringing down the average for the nation Is shown by the low percentage for such homes in some regions. Tn the East South Central regions. for instance, the percentage of wired farm homes is given as only 2.85; in the West South Central. 3.27; and In the South Atlantic, 5.s1.
 The percentage of farm homes wired is given as highest in the New England and Pacific regions
 where about half the farm homes are computed to be wired.

a DAY.
By BRUCE CATION

n DISASTROUS new WOrIQ war
"A very easily could develop out
of Japan's drive for empire in
Shanghai. The danger, far from
being past, probably will grow
greater in the immediate future.
This is the conclusion reached by
Sherwood Eddy following an ex-
tensive trip through China and ia
pan and series of interviews with
leaders on both sides. He presents
his views in 1.-THE Worlds Danger
Zone" a slim little book filled with
contagious pessimism.
Japan, he says, is driving China
straight into Communism. Even to-
day large sections of China are
under Communist control; as fur
ther japanese aggression intenSif1es
the disgust of Chinese patriots with
the vacillation and weakness OF the
Marking government, Communist
control is almost certain to be wide
ly extended.
In addition, looming more clear
ly every week, there rises the
specter of an approaching war be-
tween Japan and Soviet Russia.
And MI. Eddy is explicit about
the utter chaos which a thorough
going Communist revolution in
China would mean.
Nor is that all. Japan's activities
in China, says Mr.. Eddy, we'll may
mean complete failure for the
approaching disarmament confer
ence; and that, in turn could mean
a complete swing to the extreme
right or the extreme left in Ger
many - with either contingency
plunging all of Europe into war.
The book is published by Farrar
& Rinehart at 81.

I do mind sometimes. awfully."
What further revelation she might
have yielded up are impossible to

Mr.. Heath fused over the tray.
There, that was Susan's. Was it
all right? He was hungry himself.
He had only had bite at the club
at noon.
Susan, who had expected to find
the tete-a-tete family embarrass-
ing, was surprised pleasantly.
Ernest Heath was an entertaining
host. He talked well and seemed
to exert himself to put the young
secretary at her ease.

Then the screen. Titles, all in a
flash. The authors name, the di-
rector's, the cameraman's. The story,
an absurd, hurly-burly piece with
mock-love, mock-despair, mock
everything.
Out Of it had emerged surely and
clearly the face of the girl on the
screen. The prepoSterously large
eyes, the drift of dark hair folded
back from a pure forehead. There
had been something arresting about
her face.
Ernest Heath had remembered 1t
afterward, when the picture itself
with all its absurdities had faded
from his mind.

Susan was scarcely conscious of his
presence.
The back Of her neck began to
ache and she realized suddenly that
she was ravenously hungry. She
looked at the clock. It was quar-
ter past 7. Surely he doesn't ex-
pect me to work all evening with
out dinner" she thought indig-
nantly. Why, the mans inhumanl"
She rested her head on one hand
for an instant and it was at that
very moment her employer looked
up.

weary young figure.

said. What shall we do about it?
You must be worn out, poor child"
His tone was half-humorous, half
caressing. Susan seemed to him at
the moment indeed the merest child.
Let's see," he was thinking aloud.
There's place across the street
that does very well for lunch, sort
Of grillroom. Suppose I ring them
up and have something sent over?
1t will only take few minutes.
How would you like a club sand
wich and milk-tea-ginger ale,
anything?" His tone was decidedly
jovial.
I'm so terribly hungry" Susan
confessed with little laugh, that
anything at all would be just heav-
emily"
That's that, then" announced
Mr.. Heath firmly, reaching for tel

spiration, he wavered.
Il may as we'll have a bite my
self" he said with the air Of a man
settling a momentous question.
Look here, let the rest Of that go

CUSAN complied, willing enough

himself on the edge of her desk.

Susan flushed at the implication.

"Betcha he didn't ask you if you

shrewdly.
He's the kind that thinks a girl
goes straight home and says her
proyers every night. That is, if the

or whatever they call it.
