In the face of the depression,
two Minnesota cities stand out
in the economic situation that
confronts the ordinary city at
present. These two cities are
Williams, which on Friday last
put on a bond burning cele-
bration when both the city and
school district were out of debt.
Dassel, also had a celebration
this fall when an "out of debt
jubilee was had. There was
no magic about these affairs
and the two places simply had
lived within their means and
had practiced the virtues of
wisdom in municipal affairs.

time when the United States Is pay
ing men to work less, and farmers to
raise less, they are working 10 and II
hours day for what in America
would be starvation wages.
They can manufacture electrical
goods, rubber goods and dozens of
other products and land them IN
America at prices less than American
labor costs. They have overthrown
Great Britain's century-old rule in
the cotton market, and last year ex-
ported more finished cotton goods
than the British Isles.
They are proud, sure of their des-
tiny, terrifically in earnest, and al
most wholly devoid of any saving
sense of humor. They try so hard
to be liked, and yet no nation really
likes them. Great Britain, under the
lash of their competition, Is erecting
tariff barriers against them in India.
American manufacturers are appeal
ing for special protection against their
lower-cost production. Germany,
France and Italy find them competing
in every market. Russia is hostile,
the Chinese lie back and wait pa
tiently. They can afford to wait;
they have waited for centuries.
But Japan, in such a hurry to go
forward-she must keep going. Where

Demonstration of Combat
Tactics Features An

Striking demonstrations of naval
aviation combat tactics by local pilots
featured the annual inspection by a
regular Navy Department Inspection
Board yesterday afternoon Of VN-6R,
District Naval Aviation Reserve
Squadron, at the Anacostia Naval
Air Station.
A tactical problem, involving the
separation of the squadron into at
tacking and defending units, was cli-
NAKED by a bombardment attack on
a target representing the deck Of an
airplane carrier, staked out on the
flying field. Exploding torpedoes were
used in lieu of live bombs to avoid
risk of injury to several hundred spec
tators.

view edited principally by professors
in the Imperial University at Toxic,
one discovers sentences like the fol-
lowing:
"The economy ak must first be ap-
piled to all the new expenditures that
have crept into the budget. there is
plenty Of room for economy. We have
an expression, oykusho shiki, which
means official manner, covering de-
lay, red tape and vacillation. There
are too many idle hands in govern
ment Offices, and the corollary of
superfluous men Is superfuous ex-
penSe.
Graduates Jobless.
"Let us first consider the extent
to which the prevailing economic con-
ditions of the country have occa-
stoned educational problems. Until
few years ago, graduates of the spe-
cial technical schools Of higher grade
were in position to find employment
more easily than those of other insti-
tutions, but since the onset of world
wide economic depression, graduation
from technical schools has almost
ceased to be passport to employ
ment.
"The annual increase in Japan's
overcrowded population-1,0 ,007 1893 in
l932-perhaps gives the impression
that knowledge of birth control is
entirely lacking or has been rejected
in ASia's most progressive country
the assumption of ignorance
is quite amiss. For the past II years,
birth control has been a persistent
topic Of thought and discussion.
THE United States and Japan are
the two civilized nations with the
highest figures for divorce. In 1929
there were 1,700 divorces per an aver
age population of 100000 in the
United States, and 300 divorces per
an equal population in Japan. Ger
many, France. England and Canada

A terribly unbalanced budget, agri-
cultural discomfort, college graduates
who cannot find jobs, the breakdown
of the old-fashioned family solidarity
these are some of the factors in
Japan that combine to create official
headaches. Add to them the relent-
less pressure of increasing population.

the shortage Of vital raw materials,

Admiration and Pity.
One leaves the island kingdom with
mixed feelings of admiration, appre-

I was in Toxic the cabinet forced
through the largest, most unbalanced
budget in the nations history. 1t did
not pass without outSpoken criticism,
Ryuichiro Nagaoka denouncing 1t as
a mere balance sheet showing no
unified policy required in coping with
the extraordinary situation"
Credit Destruction Seen.
He went on to criticize the cabinet,
pointing out that the balance is main
tanned by sheer issuance of budget
deficit" loans, that relief Of the me-
dium and small merchants and in
dustrialists does not receive due con-
sideration, and that the government
is lacking in any real enthusiasm or
plan.
Other speakers protested against
the lack of agricultural relief measures
and predicted that the present policy
of pushing expenditures far beyond
the limits of income would destroy the
credit of the nation.
On another day, Ban Miyaki.
member of the House of Represent
atives, arose to speak his mind on
the silk question. The price of silk
is steadily falling, he said, owing to
the competition OF rayon. He wanted
to know what the government intend
ed to do about 1t. The minister Of
agriculture replied with hopeful, but
unconvincing generalities. That min
lister had plenty of bad hours in the
recent legislative session.
Problems Similar.
Newspaper comment and magazine
articles are strikingly similar to those
in the United States, showing that
Japan is faced with all of America s
difficulties, and in more aggravated
form.
The Japanese banks are loaded with
government bonds, like the banks in
America, and though the authorities
would like to see them extending
their loans to industry. and probably

dustry cannot use the credit.

After doing well in the trapping
business in December and January,
the trappers have had their season
partially ruined by the February
storms which have proved total
loss during the whole month. The
records show no rats caught dur
ing the past three weeks and
scarcely any were caught in the
early days of the month. The price
has shown a steady rise for both
black and brown hides. The best
black ones are bringing over $500,
while the best brown hides are
bringing from $1.50 to $1.75 each.
The season for trapping on the
tidewater marshes closed Saturday
and on the inland marshes will
close March Goth. 1t is believed
that there will not be much more
trapping this season even should
