 In a statement reviewing the past year, Mir Policy said that the low point of the depression was shown by developments of the year to be passed and that the trend In railroad freight traffic which was a fairly good index of general bus mess was definitely better than a year ago. MT Pelley's statement follows:
 Developments of the past year indicate that we have passed the low point in this depression. A definite upward trend has been es- tablished and railroad freight traffic, which is conceded to be 9 fairly good index of general busi- ness conditions, is definitely better than year ago.
 Railroad freight traffic in New England didn't reach the low levels experienced by other parts of the country during the years 1881 and 1892, and for this reason the improvement shown in 1893 when compared with the previous

 Paris, Dec 27-(UP) = Japan will cooperate fully in disarmament and peace negotiations, Naotake Sati, new ambassador to France and chief delegate to the League of Nations, said in an interview with the United Press today. Sato appeared optimistic that the new ~state of Manchoukuo would win world recognition.
 Though Japan has withdrawn from the League of Nations, Sato said. it was ready to do its share in solving world problems and would make sincere efforts to bring suc- cess to the disarmament conference meetings.
 Like the United States. Japan held aloof at present from disarm- ament talks because they are of European character, Sato said. When they again touched on the problems of land disarmament and naval reductions, he added, Japan would reenter the debate. He warned, however. that in his opin- ion France, Great Britain and Germany must reach agreement on European armaments before the conference could succeed.
 Japan's position toward the league, Sato said, remains as 1t was when she withdraw-she never had studied any compromise project but
