The queer thing about this argu-

great many people will probably say
that the best thing about the aboli-

protect children against parents who
could not keep them out Of factories,
against States which refused to pass
Child Labor Laws, and does put them
under the care of a government which
is willing to save childhood at the ex-

BALANCED BUDGET
ISDECLARED VITAL
Sound Money Also Necessary
to Business Recovery,
D., Say Trade Leaders.
BY CHAs. r. SHAEFFEK,

A balanced budget and the preserva-
ton Of the soundness Of the nations
currency are the main essentials OF
economic recovery in this country,
Americas business leaders say. ..
The great mass of testimony taken
in hearings before the senate Finance
Committee from authorities in virtually
every line Of human endeavor stressed,
almost unanimously, these two points,
and painted an unattractive picture OF
what would happen If they were not
needed.
Concurring in the above viewpoint Is
the Guaranty Trust Co. Of New York
which suggests in Its monthly bulletin
that Congress give Immediately some
convincing assurance that sound money
will be maintained-first, by balancing
the budget: and, secondly, by adopting
resolution definitely opposing drastic
currency imitation In any form.
The institution declares that such q
pronouncement would do far more to
foster business recovery than all the
public funds that could possibly be
forced into credit channels, since the
zone absolute prerequisite to credit ex-
tension is confidence in the future
soundness Of the currency"
The bulletin declared proposals Tor
currency imitation would diminish II the
real nature of the present situation
were better understood. It points out
the vast bulk of the circulating medium
with which the business Of the country
Is carried on consists not Of actual
money but of bank deposits. The peak
figure for money and deposits combined
was reported at the end Of 1928. Since
that time, the amount Of money in cir
culation has increased by 1881 ,000. 900.
or nearly 18 per cent. while the amount
of bank deposits has decreased by Sl5,-
000, 900 900. resulting in Q net decline
Of slightly more than $4,000, ,000, 900.
or % per cent in money and deposits
combined.

NEW YORK, March "a vigorous
rally followed the lower opening Of the
Curb Exchange today, wiping out all
Of the early losses.
The usual market belwether, Elec-
trio Bond g. Share, netted a gain Of
IN points on the forenoon movement.
American Gas & Electric rose almost
3 points. Cities Service recovered its
early loss, as did Standard OIL OF In

Strength in the second hour followed
the rise Of commodities. This trend
was mirrored in the advance Of food
stocks or related industries such as
Deere q Co., Swift International, and
Montgomery Ward A. Both charts and

modities and stocks now may be dis
counting.
The per cent renewal rate for call
loans was the highest II more than
two years and more than double the
rate Of few days ago. There was,
however, only slight volume of trad
ing around the curb money post, as
most of this institutions business Is on
q cash basis.
The higher call rate, however, did
not surprise traders, for the tightening
money rates In many quarters were
recognized late Thursday, when the
New York Federal Reserve Bank lifted
its rate from az to 3h per cent. On
the last occasion that the rate was
lifted per cent. back In 1881, the mar
ket rallied briskly. This may have in
duced covering Of short commitments
early today on some exchanges, but
the short interest on the curb Is rela-

Traders, while not ignoring the bank
ing situation. were inclined to take
cognizance Of the firming steel quota
tons. the improved statistical condition
Of the oil industry. and the rise in
various basic raw commodities. Quaker
Oats, weak in recent sessions. steadied.
Copper shares rallied under the leader
ship Of Newmont Mining. Gold stocks,
however. met some profit taking. New
Jersey Zinc recovered its initial loss and
added net gain approximating point
In the meantime the air shares,
lethargic at the opening, moved up

sories. led by Cord Corporation and

DECLINE IN BOND ;
MARKET RESUMES
U. S. Government Issues
Register Further Losses
on Light Offerings.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 3-While there
were few issues of bonds that SYM
pathized with the higher market for
stocks today the list in general was
under pressure and registered many
new low prices.
United States Government loans
dropped down into levels not previ-
ously entered in spite of smaller
volume Of offerings than recently. The
only really strong section of the mar
ket was in German government and
corporation dollar obligations, which
were quite buoyant.
The extreme weakness in Treasury
issues on Thursday centered attention
: on this group at the opening today.
Prices started unchanged, dipped down
little and then rallied with an ad-
vance of as much as one-half point
In some of the long-term issues. Later,
however. the supply increased and
number Of the loans became quite weak.
The first 4K4s and the first 3las both
sold under par Until recently the
premium of 5 points or more on these
early maturing loans provided no net
income return to the buyer, while now
they yield an average of nearly per
cent.
The Treasury Is also sold under par.
The IS went below "a for the first time
this year. All of the one to five year
Treasury notes were at heavy discounts
and at yields ranging from per cent
to nearly 334 per cent, which greatly
conplicates any immediate Treasury
financing.
In the high grade corporation list
there was a steadier situation among
those bonds that have been under most
pressure. but lower prices in new sec
tions of the list. such eS the subsidiaries
Of American Telephone & Telegraph,
whose earnings statements have been
unfavorable. Cincinnati Union Terminal
SIS declined 115 points and Humble Oil
SIS were of point, while Brooklyn
Union Gas SIS recovered most of yeSter-
days loss. Pennsylvania Railroad mort
cages were heavy.
The rise of points in German gov.
eminent bonds and nearly as much in
Prussian IS and in some of the Ger
man public utilities appeared to be
covering movement in anticipation of
a more favorable outcome Of Sundays
elections. The reverse of this was heavi-
ness in United Kingdom 5l2s, which
were off l p points and down nearly 4
points for the week. Argentine issues
were stronger and those Of Columbia
were up 3 points.

1.-THE outflow of funds from, New
York started In the latter part OF jan
uary," the review added. "and In its
early stages resulted chiefly from sales
of securities in the New York market

period were not reduced, but, in fact,
increased somewhat further, contipy-
ing the general movement Of the past

made by banks In other localities. Large

In addition, it was recalled, "a sub

Killing A Joke
Commerce Building Crowded

The news that the Department of Commerce Building is
filled to overflowng with busy Government offices will
move one OF the stock Jokes of the politician.
Ever since the massive structure constructed as
unit OF the comprehensive Government building program it
has been the butt of rdicue
It was pointed to the plus ultra of Government
travagance.
Even President Roosevelt has frequently joked about it.
One OF his favorite stories tells how he for drive
shortly after coming to Washington and inquired
OF the building he and a companion were passing
The President was informed that it the Commerce
Building After long lapse the President again inquired
what building they passing And again the was
that they were still passing the Commerce Building
That and similar stories designed show that ex
travagance had riot that beautiful buildings were
sructed here without the chance Of their being used

created Government organizations including the National
Recovery Administration.

Rule of Manchus

About the time the Dutch
were buying Manhattan Isle
for $24-in 1914, to be ex-
act-the Ming Emperor of
China was sorely beset. He
sent an ambassador to the
northern country of the
Manchus "a Tartar race,
great big fellows, hunters
and fighters. They came
down like Sennacherib and
made short work of the re-
bellious Chin a m en-. The
Ming Emperor killed him
self at the moment of VIC
tory and the Manchu prince
took over the throne and all
China.
Time ratified on and the
Chinese absorbed the Man
chus. One stormy night in
1908 a 3-year-old squalling
babe was aroused from
sleep, still squalling, was
dressed in regal silks and
placed on the throne of
China. That babe was Henry
Pu-Yi, the tenth and last of
the Manchu Emperors, and
now back as a puppet king
in a Manchuria which is the
sorest spot today in the
anatomy of diplomacy.

Japan's Dream

Henry Pu-Yi, helpless crea-

a country which compares in
size and latitude with the
stretch Of land that runs
from Hudson's s Bay to south
ern Pennsylvania, and from
Chicago to New York, one
of the richest lands in the
world.
Japan will fight to hold
that land so that she can set
up, with Korea and her
islands, the Asiatic equiv

these dreams of empire. Ma

misery, and always they will
