0O0O The japanese think that
is not right that one race should
hare all the territory it Uants and
so much to spare Uhile another
should be sitting tUithin the mar
rop boundaries OF teU barren
islands.
Hence the danger to Australia. II
the japanese have powerful navy
and the British are engaged in some
difficult situation in Europe or In
India, how will the 100000 900 Aus
tralian people defend themselves
against the land-starved japanese,
despite of the great distance which
exists between the two countries?
Fortunately, while the Australian
logical arguments are fiawless, logic
only seldom enters in political de-
velopmentS.
A Diplomatic Reversal.
After the war, many nations did
think it was not dignified enough to
have mere legations with ministers
representing them abroad, and ele-
waited these diplomatic missions tc
the rank of embassies. There is
really no difference as far as the
actual work is concerned between an
embassy and a legation: the former
are merely more expensive and the
ambassador has precedence over the
minister at official receptions.
With the depression some OF the
countries hare found out that this
Das an unnecessary lurury. But
nations are proud and prefer to
default on debts than reduce the
diplomatic status OF their foreign
representation.
Spain is the first country to admit
its mistake, and the new Spanish
government is contemplating reducing
many of its embassies to the rank
of legations, thus saving few hun
dred thousand dollars year. The
Spanish government contemplates
starting with its South American
missions, Transforming the embassies
in Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Chile
and Brazil into legations.
Despite the stories that King
Alfonso of Spain had a substantial
banking account when he lost his

SEARCH IS PUSHED
FORBOGUS MONEY.
Bills of Large Denomina-
tions Sought Here in Secret
Service Campaign.

While the Government went ahead
today in New York and New Jersey
with its efforts to wipe out the coun-
terfeiting ring whose printing plant
at Tenafly, N. j., was urearthed We'd
nesday, a new alertness in watching
for spurious money-particularly bills
of large denomination-was evidenced
here and throughout the East, accord
ing to Secret Service officials.
Seven of those seized in the round
up by Federal agents were arraigned
in New York yesterday before United
States Commissioner Garrett w. Cot
ter. They were charged with con-
spiracy in making counterfeiting
plates, photographing real bills for
counterfeiting purposes and with
printing spurious money. All denied
any connection with any counterfeit
ring.
Leaders in the group also were
charged with having interspersed
their counterfeiting with post office
bombings in various parts of the
country. Hearings were fixed for De-
cember IA.
The new fear of counterfeits here
was accentuated by the arrest of two
colored men who were arraigned
yesterday before United States Com
missioner Needham c. Turnage on
charges Of owning and attempting to
pass thirteen $40 counterfeits.
The two suspects, Thomas Blocker
and James Murtishaw, who said they
were from New York, where held in
$4,000 bond each for q hearing De-
cember T.
Not only In bank, through which
most OF the counterfeit bills eventually
pass on their way to the Treasury,
but in hotels and business houses,
handlers of paper money have re-
ceived new warnings of the danger
from losses such as many suffered
during the past 10 days.
The actual losers in the passing of
a counterfeit bill such as the S1OO
notes from the Tenafly plant have
been persons or firms in this city to
which the notes could be traced.
Indentity of the losers has been care
fully guarded by the secret service.

SURVEY OF CRIME !
BYEXPERTSURCED.
Citizens Committee Acts on
Recommendation of
Subgroup.

The Citizens Committee on Crime
moved yesterday to obtain expert
advice on the possible cost and best
method Of conducting compre-
hensive survey of crime conditions
in Washington with a view to reform
legislation.
Meeting in the Office of the Dis
trict Bar Association, the committee
adopted this suggestion, as contained
in report Of subcommittee headed
by Mrs. Merritt o. Chance. A fur
ther report on the matter will be
brought in to the next meeting,
Wednesday.
Budget for Survey.
The problem of a crime survey
will be discussed with the Institute
Of Public Relations of Columbia
University, the Public Administration
Service Of Chicago, the Harvard Law
School Institute of Criminal Law and
other agencies.
Based on information obtained
from these sources, a budget will
be formulated to cover the cost of
the survey. Committee members
were uncertain as to where or how
the money could be raised.
The recommendations of the sub
committee were accompanied by the
following statement:
Your subcommittee conceives of
the crime problem in the District
as highly technical question calling
for great deal of detailed investiga-
tion, fact-finding of a technical char
acter and involving a comparison of
the experiences of the District with
other communities and their various
efforts at dealing successfully with
the problem Of crime"
Questions for Consideration.
Seth Richardson, chairman of the
Subcommittee on Probation and Pa
role, proposed a series of questions
which the committee as a whole
should consider:
Should intermediate sentences be
done away with?
Should there be general increase
in maximum penalties for crime?
Should probation or parole be re-
fused second offenders, or in cases
involving violence or danger to the
public?
Should there be full publicity in
connection with release Of offenders
and what steps should be taken for
the training Of personnel to admin
lister the parole system?

Here is how the Australians Judge
the situation. Japan has at present
a population of 95,000,000 people.
This population is compelled to live
within the boundaries of a few small
islands. The japanese population
is increasing at the rate of about
100000 a year. The islands are
cultivated as intensely as possible.
Every inch of land up to the railroad
tracks is under cultivation. The
farmers children who are unable to
feed themselves on the heavily mort
gagged lands go to town and work in
factories for a handful of rice a day.
Hence the ability of Japan to produce
manufactured goods at prices defying
any competition. What will happen
when there will be no room left for
this prolific race? The children can
not be killed and they are hardy; in
fantile mortality will not prevent the
natural growth of the japanese
population.
Japan will have to look for some
new territory where it can transplant
its inhabitants.
Outlet Must Be Found.
Siberia, because of its harsh
climate is not fit for Japanese i'm
migration and China is already over
populated. The South American
countries where the climate is good
have closed the doors to japanese
immigration. So has Australia. But
the Australians fear that just this
discrimination against the yellow
race might force the Japanese to a
desperate act.
Australia can feed comfortably
at least 800, 1000, 900 people and has
today population OF barely 10

Public works employees will not have

this clear yesterday when asked if
any instances had come to his atten-

diction had been solicited for sums
ranging from to 10 per cent of their

There was one, he said, and he
added he intended writing to the

ask for a political contribution.

SOVIET DEBT PACT
F0RESEEN BY U. S.
Bankers Told to Prepare
for Advantages in For
eign Trade.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An influential group OF private
bankers, gathered here to map ways
and means of squirting foreign trade,
was told by the State Department yes
terday to prepare to take advantage
of trade opportunities that a debt
settlement with Russia might bring.
Considerable significance was at
tached to this word from R. Walton
Moore, Assistant Secretary of State,
because of his familiarity with the
obstacles which have prevented an
agreement with the Soviet on the
claims this country presented after
recognition.
Many of those who heard him felt
the State Department official plainly
limited that an understanding was in
sight.
Meeting Closed.
His audience was the Bankers Ad-
visory Committee recently named to
cooperate with eXport-import bank
officials on methods of expanding
Americas diminishing foreign trade.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors.
The first export-import bank,
headed by George N. Peek, was set up
after recognition of the Soviet for the
purpose of promoting trade with that
country. 1t was given $ll,OOO,OOO IN
Federal funds. The banks officers,
however, decided to withhold credits
for Russia pending a debt settlement.
So far that settlement has not been
reached and the delay has had de-
pressing effect on trade between the
two countries.
Moore is one of the board of trustees
for both the First and Second Export
Import Banks, the latter also being
headed by Peek.
Sub Group Named.
He. along with Peek and other ex-
port-import officials, conferred most
of the day with the bankers on ways
for better cooperation between the
two Government financial institutions
and private credit agencies.
The result of the discussion yesterday
was the decision to name an executive
committee which would keep in touch
with Peek and his aides to form a
clearing house for information on
specific proposals for foreign deals.
The conference did not embrace diff
ferenceS over the best means to
stimulate exports. Peek was asked
about reports that he and Hull are in
strong disagreement over policy in
Americas drive to recapture markets
abroad. He laughed and said he had
no comment.
An aide said however, that from
the time Peek was named special ad-
wiser to the President on foreign
trade he and the Secretary of State
have had differences of opinion on
procedure.

reason for the halt at Tucson was
not because of climatic reasons,
although we did have fine weather
