BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. March 8.-Renewed
strength in the United States Gov
srnment section failed to alter ir-
regular currents in the corporate bond
list in the late trading. High-grade
corporate issues held up well enough,
but the secondary group showed
numerous weak spots.
Approaching the close, Treasury
loans were 4-32s to l8-32s of point
higher. with Libertys showing some
what narrower gains.
Some Allegheny Corporation loans
suffered another sinking spell. Under
heavying selling the IS Of 1850 drop

In the foreign group the best gains

DETROIT, March 8.-The motor
car makers, whose statisticians have
figured the average life of an auto
mobile at slightly more than seven
years. are beginning to wonder just
how much reliance can be placed on
those computations. The speculation
is not SO much upon the accuracy of
the figures, which show an average
number of vehicles going to the dis
card after an average number of years
OF operation. but as to just what they
mean to the replacement market.
The sales authorities, after the ex-
periences of the last few years with
restricted consumer demand, are con-
vinced that the market for motor cars
is largely replacement proposition
and point out that SO far as averages
are concerned the point of mechanical
obsolescence has been extended far
beyond what most builders of auto
mobiles themselves had any reason to
anticipate This, they say, Is just an
other way of explaining that the sales
resistance of 1930-1932 was the most
stubborn in the history of motor car
merchandising.
Admitting that some new first-time
owners are coming into the market
with the easing Of the buying resist
ence and the increase OF purchasing

 Perhaps Americans, both young and old, see in Popeye the realization of their desire to be nde- pendent and to be masters of their own ships.
 It is obvious that, in Popeye there is phil osophical lesson for all. Why must we be content to enjoy the cCInca sailors freedom just by read ing? His assertiyeness, in the right amount and in the right direction, is something we all could acquire to good advantage. dependence, more on ones initiative and less on the other fellow would be good thing.
 So with this New Year, let us agree with Popeye that we will be what are that our daily life will be marked in 1885 with an individuaism in our actions more approximatng hopes.

TT HAS BEEN A GOOD YEAR.

December 31, 1934-the last day of year.
 AS years go, it has been a good year. All o the good things predicted for 1894 have not occurred Nor have the dire prognostications of the pessnis eventuated as they foretod.
 The country has been in good hands In the less than two years that he has been in office, Presi- dent Roosevelt has accomplished more good for sthc United States than has ever been accomplished in like period. When he took office he recognized tha conditions in this country necessitated immediat; remedies He set about to provide those remedies to do something in emergency that would gel the country and it's people out of depression tha had lasted several years
 While recovery is not by any means complete 1884 has witnessed remarkable progress That is particularly noticeable in Alaska
 Fishing, mining and other activities, not to fosge Federal Public Works have all contributed to cr-.- ployment and the improvement of business condi- tions. Progress in this Territory would have been much greater, of course, if it had not been for ths shipping strike which delayed the start of the summer employment season. However, all of the industries and nature herself, apparently, worked during the shortened season to overcome this handicap
 The Nome fire cast a gloom over Inc fall season but the magnificent spirit of the people of Nome the help of the Federal Government and the Rec Cross may turn the disaster into a blessing 1T disguise
 Airfields, roads and other projects constructed through Federal Works and CWA funds throughout the Territory have @progd employment and cen tributed generally to better business conditions ir Alaska. There has been substantial progress ir Juneau. Street Improvements have been made Will lcughby Avenue has been completed as Public Works project the highways out of the city havs never been in as good condition And the Douglas bridge has been started.
 There is no magic that will bring about Utopia ill day, month year. It requires thought effort experiment. failure and the will to try again All of these combined in 1884 to lead into better days in 1885

More Defense" for Japan.
(Kansas City star.)


 The action of the Okada Cabinet in approving the largest appropriations for national defense in the history Of the Japanese empire demonstrates nce more the influence exercised over the affairs of that country by the officers of it's army and navy The proposed increase of expenditure at 1ie. when, the interests of the Japanese taxpayer plainly call for economy was strongly resisted by he Minister of Finance, but he had no chance against the demands of his colleagues the Minister of the Army and the Minister of the Navy both of whom are professional officers. All Gen Sem juro Hayashi and Admiral Mineo Osumi had to do was to threaten to resign and the Cabinet promptly acceded to their wishes
 In countries where civilians maintain control Of the government, the arrangement in Japan seems almost incredible. But, according to the Japanese tradition, not only the Ministers of the Army and Navy regularly drawn from the professional services; they are responsible directly to the Elm peror, instead of to the Prime Minister, who rep- resents the will of the people. Moreover, such is the prestige of the army and navy that the resigna ion of either of their representatives the Cabinet is likely to produce political crisis of the first order. Japan, therefore the insistence of gen. eral and an admiral continues to prepare for war, needless of the burden such policy imposes upon the national treasury and the increasing strain it entails for world peace
