NAVAL PACT FINDS
CHAMPION IN JAPAN
Former Premier Wakatsuki
Says Nation Has Received
Benefits.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NAGOYA, Japan, october 11.-An
authoritative Japanese voice was raised
In defense Of the London naval treaty
for the first time in two years today.
Baron Reipiro Wakatsuki. former
premier and chief delegate to the Lon
don parley in 1880. declared in an ad-
dress here that although the ratios were
unsatisfactory he still was convinced
that acceptance of the treaty had served
the empires real welfare.
He warned that if the naval powers
meeting again in 1885 fail to agree it
would mean the end of naval limitation
and probably will be a naval race be-
tween Japan and America.
1T would be almost impossible for
Japan to win such a race" he said,
owing to Americas great economic
and industrial superiority.
Such competition won't strengthen
the empires defenSes," he added.
Wakatsuki asserted "the London
agreement to postpone the replacement
of capital ships costing 100,000,000 yen
tabout $27, 100000 dollars) apiece alone
saved Japan 4O0.000.000 yen and it pre-
served the friendship of America and
lightened the tax burdens of the Jap
anese people,
During the last two years the Lon
don treaty has been denounced widely
and its Japanese signers and hackers
villifled.' Until the minority leader
spoke, today, none had replied.

LONDON, October 1.-THE adoption
of the 40-hour week along the lines OF
the American NR.A in important Sec
tions of the British industrial world
without reductions of wages, was fore
shadowed today by the announcement
of an agreement of the Amalgamated
Engineering Union with the Imperial
Chemical Industries
The agreement will affect more than
5000 employees at Stockton on-Tees.
Similar developments were expected
from the shipbuilding and the engi-
neering trade unions with their en-
pioyers.
The unions desire a conference with
the employers because the demand for
40-hour week, it was stated, is grow
ing in labor ranks. This was described
as one means of relieving unemploy-
ment
The engineering and shipbuilding en-
ployers heretofore have taken the view
that the proposal is economically un-
sound and cannot be applied nation
ally in view of foreign competition.
The unions concerned, it was learned
however. have Just received an impor-
tant communication in connection with
this matter from the employers which
will be considered by a joint commit
tee of trade union executives 10 days
hence. The contents of the communi-
cation meanwhile will not be divulged

FLOUR B00T[ECGED
TO AVOID GRAIN TAX
U. S. Prepares to Act on Re-
ports of Widespread Sell
ing by Farmers.

(Copyright, 1888. by the Associated Press)
A new form OF bootlegging-illegal
wheat milling to escape the processing
tax on the grain-has grown to such
proportions that determined drive to
end it is planned by Federal authorities
Collection of the 3O-cent -bushel tax
on wheat and enforcement of the regu-
lations surrounding the levy are the i'm
mediate problem of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue.
The Farm Adjustment Administration
is vitality concerned, however, because
the proceeds from the processing tax
are depended upon to raise funds to
pay farmers who agree to reduce their
acreage by Is per cent next year.
As indicated by the steady flow Of
complaints that has come to the Farm
Administration. the chief violators Of
the law are growers, whom the process
ing tax was designed to help.
Selling at Profit Charged.
The wheat farmer was given the
privilege of having wheat for his own
family use ground into flour tax free.
The charge has been made, and repeated
from virtually every wheat-growing sec
more wheat ground than they need
and disposing of the excess, tax-free
-four at a profit.
Custom millerS in some sections are
reported to be accepting the farmers
estimates without question. The grow
ers are required by Internal Revenue
Bureau regulations to make an affidavit
that the customground wheat Is fo-
their own use and also that it was
grown on their land
Protest has been made, however, that
in some instances commercial truck
drivers are signing affidavits and are re-
ceiving the -four for disposition.
Reports Cause Concern.
The Farm Administration believes
some of the complaints have come from
enemies of the processing tax. but the
widespread reports have caused con-
Germ. Consequently, plans have been
made to offer every cooperation to the
Bureau of Internal Revenue in detect
ing violators.
The sale Of small milling outfits
which may be operated on the farm by
motor, or hand even, is reported to be
increasing at a high rate since the
processing tax went into effect on
July 8.
No license is required to operate these
outfits. The Farm Administration feels
these small mills may be used to supply
needs other than that Of the owner
No figures are available, officials said,
on the extent to which wheat bootleg
ging has affected receipts from the
processing levy
The receipts from the tax in % days
in July were only $384,O00. officials
said, however, that this low figure had
no particular significance since millers
were slow to pay because of unfamiliar
ity with the tax regulations.
The amount of wheat ground in July
