quote from recent editorial in the
Osaka Mainichi admitting panic
conditions. The editorial is headed:
Keep COOL" and says:
"At the Tokyo Stock Exchange,
the shares, with the leading issues
as the center have been Slumping
for some days, and even talk of
a security panic is heard.
The general sentiment has grad
ually been sinking, with discOn-
certed selling accommodating in the
market on the least pretext and
creating a situation beyond con-
troll"
In this situation, the Japanese
military is preparing for a fascist
government in order to carry
through the war program-witn its
main objective against the Soviet
Union.
Further Penetration Seen
The Roosevelt government, on the
other hand, has been preparing for
more drastic penetration in the
Latin American and Oriental mar
kets, against Japan, not only by its
war moves, but by a virtual eco
nomic war conference. The Jap
anese Rengo news service declared
on Nov. 8 that "all important Amer
lean diplomats in the Far East and
Latin America, except Joseph C.
Grew, ambassador in Tokyo, are re-
turning home to confer with Pres
ident Roosevelt about the future of
the New Deal and international re-
Iations, and probably will discuss
the pushing of the movement for
reciprocal trade pacts with Latin
American countries to recover the
markets lost to Japan"
Thus the naval conference pres
ages new drive for world markets,
with war as the decisive factor The
Roosevelt government is taking
every step to prepare for this war
increasing the tax burdens on the
impoverished masses in order to pay
for the naval construction program
it thinks necessary to satisfy the
colonial and foreign market desires
of the big trusts. AS the naval race
intensifies, as it must, greater taxes
will be thrown onto the backs OF
the toiling masses, and all relief al
lotments will be cut still more dras-
tically. Despite all of Roosevelt's

program, we may be sure that the
only construction program that will
get the requisite money will be the
warship building projects.

This is the second and concluding
article on the navy arms race)

(1HS Is the second ana cOnClunIng
article on the navy arms race)
DOTH in Japan and the United
u States, the race for naval arms
is inensifying the economic crisis.
When it is remembered that a first
line battleship or plane carrier costs
from S70,000,000 to 100000 900 in the
United States and about half that
in Japan, it is realized that race
for supremacy in these arms puts
reavy drain on financial system
already terrifically battered by the
crisis.
In the first instance, the economic
crisis speeds war preparations, par
ticularly the naval construction pro-
gram of the leading inperialist pow
ers. And the tremendous cost of
the arms race aggravates the eco
nomic crisis, leading to a vicious
circle, with war always lowering
above as solution"
Budget Deficit Grows
While the Roosevelt government
seeks every means of cutting down
direct unemployment relief, in order
to save taxation and profits for the
big trusts, the budget deficit is in
creased by $1,000, 100000 a year to
pay chiefly for the war preparation,
and naval arms building.
Congressman Vinson has already
announced that with the collapse of
and London naval conversations, de-
spite the huge funds already pro-
vided, expenditures will be made up
to the limit in order to provide Wall
Street with navy sufficient to in
sure its plumber in the Chinese mar
kets and Latin America.
Knowing that the economic and
financial crisis in Japan is extreme
ly severe. Roosevelt uses this fact
to gain the whip hand in guafan-
teeing the U. S. naval superiority in
the Pacific. The result, however, is
a sharpening to the uttermost of the
conflict fast approaching the break
ing point.
That the very bitterness at Lon
don itself, the inability to encompass
the arms race within treaty camou-
flage, creates the situation where
the powers may not even wait for
their building program but decide
the issue sooner or later by war, is
recognized by the leading naval au-
thoritieS.
The Roosevelt government, for
example, has its navy actually on
a war footing now, with the entire
fleet in the Pacific in order to
threaten Japan. Aerial war demon
strations are carried on in Alaska,
and preparations for war are going
on at feverish pace in the Aleutian
Islands and Alaska. Since the U. S.
takes it for granted the Washington
treaty will be denounced, it has al
ready undertaken a heavy fortified
ton building program in Hawaii

MAR secrets coming cut at the arms in

the Roosevelt government is undoubtedly
doing now than on what was done in the
past.
1t is revealed, for example, that Herbert Hoover
when in Office, always consulted the arms manu-

ferences arose. Yet the war construction program
under Hoover was only half the size of that under
the New Deal 1t is a fact that the arms manu-

industrialists intend combining his
removal with an intensified attack
on the German workers. The with
drawal of Der Deutsche as a daily
paper is characteristic of these in
tentions. The role of the Labor

graded. 1t is to be given as its sole
task the organization of the Power

this only within confined limits.
The last appearance of trade

BY REP. RAY p. CHASE
Republican of Minnesota

The problem of restoring to
underpaid Federal employees the
wages wrongfully taken from them
by the so-called Economy" act Of
March, 1888, has resolved itself
entirely into a question Of money.
Opinion is nearly unanimous
that full restoration should be
made now. Whatever opposition
there may be, is based on the
danger Of increasing governmental
expenditures.
At the time the wage cut BE-
came effective, 124,678 Federal
employees were receiving an an
nual salary of less than $1,000
while 56.883 were receiving more
than $1,000 but less $1,100 per
year. For the $1,000 a year, the
is per cent left an annual wage
of $3.50, q sum inadequate to buy
food and clothing, send children
to school and college, make pay
mentS on homes, and pay pre-
miums on life and fire insurance.
For members of this group the
misnamed economy" act was
tragedy. No one knows this bet
ter than Congress, and members
of the House. regardless Of party
affiliations, desire to restore to
Federal employeS-particularly to
those in the lower brackets-their
full wage, and to do so now.
So strong Is this sentiment that
the recent vicious gag rule was
adopted, not to control Repub'
licans, but to relieve Democrats
from the responsibility Of voting

VET MEASURES
FORCE LULL IN
PAY FIGHT
Senate Consideration Of Bill
May Start Wednesday;
MCCarran Undaunted

Sections Of the independent
offices supply bill which affect
veterans took the spotlight IN the
Senate subcommittee today while
the pay cut battle temporarily
lulled pending the time when the
bill will reach the Senate floor.
Committee discussions on the
salary matter are considered COM
pleted with the Federal employees
having made tremendous gains
since the bill was placed before
the Senate Appropriations group.
The committee has definitely gone
on record as favoring a salary cut
restoration of S per cent lmme-
diately and an additional S per
cent in July. and to restore suto-
matte promotions in the services
where that applies.
Speedy Actian Hoped For
It is hoped that the subcommit-
tee, to which the bill was referred
after the salary battle was fought
out in committee. will reach q
decision on provisions Of the meas
ure today so that it can report to
the full committee tomorrow, and
that that group will report the
bill to the Senate at the conclu'
sion of its scheduled meeting to-
morrow. This will make it posi-
sible for Senate consideration to
start Wednesday.
Senator Pat McCarran D. Of
Nevada, a member of the appro-
priations group who has led the
paycut abolitionists, has lost none
of his enthusiasm for seeking to
wipe out the paycut provision en-
tirely, but he has indicated he be-
lieves now that some Of those
who would have gone along with
him for full restoration rather
than following the President to
restore only five per cent Of the
salary slash July l, are willing to
accept the committee compromise.
Basis of Senate Fight
The Senate battle on the mat
ter will be between acceptances OF
the committees recommendation
for the five and five plan and full
restoration. It is well understood
that the President will approve
the five and five plan, and for
that reason no member Of the
Senate will fight that. Several Sen
ators have announced they intend
offering full restoration amend
ments, however. and a vote on
that will settle the issue.
