Japan in Difficulties But
Driving to War

THE economic and financial crisis is sharpening
in Japan. The war adventures in Shanghai
and Manchuria have cost and are still costing
large sums of money. The Ministry of War has
demanded sum of 285,000,00 yen for war pur-
poses, but the Finance Ministry, which is unable
to provide this sum, has proposed that the War
Ministry should be satisfied with 150,000,000 yen
for the period from July to December, 1882 The
Ministry Of War rejects this proposal and 1t is
expected that special military fund will be
formed.
Growing Crisis
The sale Of large quantities of raw silk which
had been stored up for some time has consider
ably worsened the situation on the silk market.
About 100000 bales of raw silk were thrown on
the market and the price is dropping rapidly.
Unemployment Is rapidly increasing and the
newspaper "Dzidzi' points out that at conser-
vative estimate there are million and half
workers unemployed in the Japanese towns.
In this difficult situation the Japanese hope
for recovery by means of war OF conquest
in ManchWia and against the Soviet Union.
More and more troops are being concentrated in
Northern Manchuria on various pretexts, none Of
which are of the least Importance. The Japanese
troops in Shanghai are preparing themselves in
all haste to evacuate the district in order to be
shipped to Manchuria where Japan intends to
concentrate all its available military forces.
Franco Japan War Bloc
The Japanese press express some OF little
anxiety concerning the results Of the French
elections and many newspapers write rather
more frankly than is customary concerning the
real nature OF the relations existing between i'm
perialist France and imperialist Japan. The
Toxic newspaper "Azahi' writes
Since the beginning of the Sino-Japanese
conflict France has shown very satisfactory
understanding for Japanese policy in Manchuria
and in return France enjoyed japanese support
in its international policy"
This is very clear admission of the existence
of working agreement for mutual support be-
tween the two imperalist countries The news
papers then expresses the hope that the change
of government in France which is inevitable as
the result of the recent elections Will not adj
versely affect the cooperation between the two
imperalisms. 1t banks on "the statesmanlike
common sense OF Herriot" who'it hopes. will be
prepared to sacrifice Theoretical synpathies" IA
the interests Of Frances foreign policy.

PARK APPRAISER

Federal Economy Program
NecesSitates Elimination
of Fred |. Manner.

Land-purchasing activities Of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission took another slump today, when
its official land appraiser was released
from service. This move was made
necessary by the administrations rigid
economy program, which leaves the
commission with little hope of addition
al funds for buying land in the District,
Maryland and Virginia for the extern
sion of the park system and for play
grounds in the city.
Fred L. Manner, land-purchasing ex-
pert, who had been engaged on per
diem basis for some six months, left
the Government service today. Yes
terday his colleagues at the commits
sion gave him a farewell party at a
nearby Government cafeteria. Attend
ing this were Mr.. and Mrs. Manner,
Capt. E N. Chisholm, jr., engineer of the
commission; Thomas S. Settle, It's sec
retary, and members Of the staff Of the
commission. as we'll as representatives
from the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks.
Mr. Manner has been making land
valuations for the future George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway in Maryland
and Virginia and in Rock Creek Valley
in Maryland, where that State proposes
to extend the parkway system. He also
has done work in Sligo Valley. as well
as gauging the values of properties in
the District.
Capt Chisolm announced the work
formerly done by Mr.. Manner will be
absorbed by the land-purchasing office
OF the commission, under the direction
Of H Tudor Morsell
The commission has had $4,000, 900
available for land purchases. Some of
this has been used as the one-third
share of Uncle Sam for the develop
ment OF the parks in nearby Maryland
valleys, under the CapperC Cramton
park purchase act. Other funds have
been spent in the District for the ac-
QUESTION Of Fairgrounds. The Federal
government has given $144 600 for Rock
Creek Valley in Maryland and 100000
for Sligo Valley development, and in
return the Maryland authorities have
given bonds for their two-thirds share
IN each of these developments.
Under the Capper- -Cramton act, the
money is being loaned to Maryland for
eight years, without interest.
Capt. Chisolm said today that under
the Governments present fiscal policy
it will be necessary to extend available
funds. making them suffice until July
l, 1888. purchasing activities con-
sequently will be trimmed sharply and
little activity can be looked for in this
direction.

Robert P. Lamont, jr., has been re-
quested by his father, the Secretary of
Commerce, to visit him in Washington
late this week before deciding definitely
to 20 to Russia for the purpose Of con-
sidering at first hand contract to aid
in developing the cattle industry for
the Soviet government.
The elder Lamont was reported at
the Commerce Department today as
not being at all pleased with his sons
decision, announced yesterday at Den
yer, near where he operates 10000
acre cattle ranch.
Withholds Comment.
Secretary Lamont decided today to
withhold comment until after he has
had a talk with his son. The proposed
Russian visit is said to have caught
the cabinet member totally by surprise.
Those who are close to the Secretary
expressed the opinion today that In all
probability young Lamont would re-
turn to Colorado after his visit here.
They believe the acceptance of Soviet
contract might have a tendency to
place his father in an awkward posi-
ton, since this Government does not
recognize that of Moscow. Young Mr.
lamont has stated. however, that the
consideration of the Russian offer was
wholly without political significance.
The Coloradan, who is one OF the
country's outstanding raisers of pure
bred cattle, has been quoted as saying
he proposes to leave for Moscow this
week because the Soviet government
had offered him a contract to super
wise its program of raising the per
capita consumption of live stock to 100
pounds a year. which would place 1t
on a parity with this country. 80 far,
the correspondence with the Soviets has
not been entirely satisfactory and the
purpose Of Lamont's trip. he said, would
be to study the situation.
Boosts "Fair Trade"
Secretary Lamont, since he entered
the Hoover cabinet in 1929, has found
Russia to be delicate subject to ham
die He has insisted, however, that his
department encourage the promotion OF
fair trade" between the two countries.
However, due to what 1t regards as
the uncertainty involved in collections
by American business firms of pay
ments for exports to Soviet Russia, the
department Is now advising business
men to deal with caution in their credit
extensions to that country.

HELSINGFORS. Finland, March l.
Withdrawals from banks and consld-
cradle difficulty in securing foreign
currency were among the most notable
results today of the Fascist revolt,
which led to an encounter with gov
ernment troops 25 miles from Helsing-
fors yesterday.
Maneuvers by the government to
round up the Fascist leaders failed be-
fore dawn today, however. when the
latter slipped out of the net which had
been laid for them. About 3 am. a
company of soldiers surrounded house
at Hameenlinna, where the leaders were
known to have been, and the house
was searched, but the men were gone.
Drastic Steps Taken.
Government spokesmen said the
process of surrounding Mantsala, where
the revolt began, was continuing and
that the arrest of all the revolters there
was expected during the day. In Hell
singfors everything was quiet.
The Fascist bands. congregating
threateningly in the vicinity of the
capital, served a demand on President
Pehr Edwin Svinhufyud to oust Com
munists and Socialist members from
the cabinet or suffer the consequences
of civil war The President replied by
decreeing new safety law giving him.

the rebellion.
The decree permitted suppression Of
newspapers found guilty of agitation,
dissolving of all demonstrations search
of homes, examination of all persons
out of doors and hindrance of armed
individuals moving from place to
place with other steps considered
necessary to preserve order.
The government decided to arrest all
leaders of the Lapua (Fascist) party,
informed quarters said. Two of the
leaders were identified as Vihtori Ko-
sola and Gen. Wallenius The arrests
were expected to be made tomorrow.
"The situation is considerably better
than 1t was" Gen. Malmberg, chief of
the Civil Guard, said.
Move Held Failure.
1t was said in official quarters that
the whole Lapua movement was prov
ing fiasco," the Lapua orders having
been obeyed only in Southern Finland.
Reports from Mantsala, center of the
movement, said many Lapuans were re-
turning home and that there were only
few fresh arrivals.
The Civil Guards, as to whose 10y
atty there had been doubts, were said
officially to be standing firmly by the

from colored acquaintance that so
cans of alcohol containing five gallons
each had been delivered at Adams
house that day.
He said he found no whisky on the
