Significant Developments.


If YOU are even half good detective
YOU should be able to deduce what is
going on from the following significant
facts:
The British recently called a spec
tacular conference of their feet ad-
mrals in Far Eastern waters. 1t was
the first conference Of that sort in Is
years. Ordinarily such meeting would
be attended with the utmost secrecy.
This one was widely advertised ahead
of time by the British government. and
staged at Singapore with extra publicity
trimmings
Just before that conference was ar
ranged the British foreign minister, Sir
John Simon, dropped down to Rome 10
discuss world peace with Premier Mus
SOlini.
Before and after the uisit Mus
solini broadcast the netrs that Udr
mds imminent in the Far East. He
pointed a finger at Japan and toid
her that her ,Ddr preparations must
cease.
Mussolini started talking that way
lust about the time he received visit
from the Russian foreign minister, M
Litvinoff who was then on his way
back to Russia with United States rec
ognition in his pocket.
Diplomats Drop Remarks.
Coincidentally with M Litvinoff's de-
parture from this country. such promi-
nent United States officials as Ambas-
sador Bullitt and Chief Hornbeck OF
the State Department Far Eastern di-
vision dropped few remarks about
Japan. They were automatically am
biguous. but clearly designed to show
our dissatisfaction.
The relationship between those events
has not been lost on Japan, That is
what her statesmen are talking about
when they grieve in the press that the
world is closing in" on little Nippon.
OF course. the japanese statesmen
would read into the situation the idea
that the world is going to conquer them.

AMailed in Austria.

VIENNA January 81 IP. - The
Vienna journal today assailed Chan
cellor Adolf Hitlers address before the
German Reichstag as "unpermlssible
Needing in Austria's internal affairs.
Comment in the Austrian press was
generally unfavorable
The Freie Presse approved Hitler S
remarks concerning the improvement
Of relations with Poland and expressed
the hope he will soon deal equally as
realistically with Austria
The official Wiener Zeitung under
the caption, Nothing New From Ber-
lin" called everything Hitler said in
regard to Austria old and erroneous.
The Semi-offlcial ReichpOst said Hit
Ter again had shown his skill at play
ing words. but added that he failed
to develop any thoughts"
Evening star., 1934-01-31

The fact seems to be that the world
is trying. in a new way, to stop war.
1t is trying to tell Japan that she will
gain nothing but trouble if she tries
to attack Russia in the Spring. 1t is
saying Don't start a fight or we may
all get in and then where will you be?'
That NAV not be a very idealistic way
of promoting world peace, but it is the
only way which seems to have chance
of being effective now.
Japan Seeks Bigger Navy.
Another hidden factor in the situation
is Just az important as the war angle.
That is naval armaments.
Japan has told us that she will not
continue her 5-5-3 treaty ratio with us
next year. She has not sent anv notes
or called US on the telephone, but there
are more ways of talking across oceans
than the normal methods of communi-
cations.
Her officials hare planted in Our
press the reply that 1De 1Gtll not agree
to increasing the 5-5-3 ratio and
that ,Ue 1Uant the treaty continued
as u.s. Japan already has parity NTH
US on submarines and 7-to-l0
ratio on cruisers and deStrOyerS
You may have noticed that most of
our naval upbuilding program relates
to cruisers and deStrOyerS
There seems to be fairly good grounds
for suspecting that part of our proposed
program is not founded on war hysteria,
but upon armaments strategy Some OF
these ships may never be built
We have been going into these naval
conferences pared down to the limit,
with nothing to trade.
With this program we have now we
will be in a highly strategic position
to negotiate for effective curtailments
of armaments building at the 1895
conference.

Republican of illinois, challenged the
House Democrats to join with the Re-
publicans for full IS per cent restora-
ton.
Representatives May of Kentucky and
Truck of Ohio both responded, en-
phatically declaring their support of a
full salary restoration. Other members

ing it evident that both sides OF the

Davis for Full Pay.
On the eve of the subcommittee
deliberations. Senator Davis. Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania. made a strong
plea to the Senate late yesterday to
restore the entire IS per cent cut on
Government salaries. Pointing out that
the economy act of last year reducing
Government salaries and veterans pay
ments was based on the theory of bal
ancing the budget Senator Davis de-
clared:
- All of this is now passed. With
the expenditure of billions of dollars,
there is now not even a pretense Of
balancing the budget I see no reason,
therefore. why there should not be a
full restoration of the pay cut. There
is no employer of labor in the United
States who is being observed more
closely these days than Uncle Sam.
AS a model employer of labor, in view
of the unexpected turn of events. in
view of a dollar which may be only
half as valuable as at the time the pay
cut was made. and in prospect of rising
prices. I believe the pay cut should now
be fully restored.
Hardships POndered.
THE men and women who live on
wages and salaries are beginning to
wonder if, with the cheapened dollar,
they are destined to lose the good
things of life for which they have been
working. I voted for the recovery act
hoping that it would dedicate itself
to the supreme duty of building up
purchasing power by setting the Nation
to work With ten million idle and
with the national income cut in half,
the prospect is not yet bright"
