PENS|ONS|ND.C,
APPROVED BY
HOUSE GROUP
Committee Also Gives 0kay
To EIIenbogen's Bill for
J0bIeSS Insurance

Old age pension and unem-
ployment insurance bills for the
District were favorably approved
today by the House District Com
mittee.
The bills were included in four
measures reported by the COM
mittee.
Other legislation approved
would gve District policemen and
firemen authority to live outside
the so-called Metropolitan area of
Washington.
Must Be IS Years
The old age pension bill, which
was introduced by Mrs. Mary T.
Norton DD, of New Jersey, chair
man of the House District Com
mittee, provides that persons of
IS years or more who have re-
sided in the District for at least
five years are eligible for pen
sions.
Representative Henry T. Ellen
bogen Cd, of Pennsylvania, is
the sponsor of the unemployment
insurance bill, which provides
that employers should contribute
per cent of his payroll. The
District Government would con-
tribute, in addition to it's con-
tribution as an employer, an
amount equal to / per cent Of the
payroll of all employers who
came under the act.
The benefits of unemployment
insurance provide that an en-
ploye who became unemployed
and was eligible for benefits would
be paid at the following rate:
Forty per cent of his full time
weekly wage, an additional 10 per
cent if he had dependent wife,
an additional per cent for each
dependent relative who was a
member of his household In no
case would his benefits exceed SIS
per week or IS per cent of bis full
time weekly wage, whichever was
the lower.
The police and firemen's bills
give members of those depart
ments the right to live in Mary
land and Virginia. The men have
claimed that they could live in
those States and escape "exorbi-
tant" living costs in the District.

Baldwin, London Reports

LONDON, April "a UN.S).
Prime Minister j. Ramsay Mac
Donald has formally asked King
George to be relieved of the pre-
miership because of his waning
health. The Evening Star de-
clAred today.
Mr.. Macdonald, the newspaper
said, requested his duties be
lghtened, after the kings jubilee
next month. He advised the mon
arch of his wishes a month ago,
the newspaper said.
Out by July
Rumors that Mr.. Macdonald
would resign his post have re-
CURED frequently for two years,
dating from the time of his eye
disease, glaumoca, which has
necessitated long vacations. Re
Gently they were given new
strength by reports of serious dis
senSion within the cabinet.
Yesterday, the Star predicted
Mr.. Macdonald would be out by
the end of July and that Stanley
Baldwin, lord president Of the
council and a former premier,
would again head the government.
Mr.. Macdonald, the Star said
yesterday, would become the new
lord president of the council,
second ranking post in the govern
ment.
Longest in History
Mr.. Macdonald is 68, and in
recent months his cares appeared
to have aged him considerably.
His present rule as Prime Minis
ter, dating since 1929. is one of
the longest in British history
Elected a Laborite, he remained
at the helm when the Laborite
government gave way to a Ma
tionalist government in Novem-
ber, 1881.
His present term is his second.
In 1924 he became Britain's first

StandIey "Remarks"
Stir British Row

LONDON, April "a 1N.S).
Britain's heated controversy over
whether to split the air force
into naval and army units, as in
the United States, or to retain
g. single force, famed anew to-
day as the result of remarks at
tributed to Admiral William H.
STANDBY, chief Of naval opera
tionS in the United States.
Admiral Standley was quoted
as saying in testimony before
the House Naval Appropriations
subcommittee last February that
Britain had practically no air
force in her navy, and that in
some respects Britain's aircraft
carriers we're 10 years behind
Americas.
Even his explanation that he
was misquoted did not prevent
publication of his reported tes-
timony to create q sensation
here.
Some newspapers called it "a
gibe at our navy" while others
took the stand that his statement
was justified.
Admiral Sir Roger Keyes is at
present heading a movement for
q separate naval air force. and he
conceded in Admiral Standley's
viewpoint.
At the admiralty and air min
istry, however, it was Indignantly
replied that the American had
"exaggerated," and that United
States aircraft carriers were "too
big"

it was Frank Wallace who

had married me. They found
he had died, according to re-

keep his papers, issuing him a GER
tificate of Identification until he jour
neyed on. There would be no charge
for the passport.
Vehicles would be allowed to re-
main in the country as long as their
owners. This would be great con-
venience to motor travellers who find
in some countries that they must pay
import duties for their cars within a
relatively short time. A special in
sigma may be issued for vehicles ad-
mitted under the terms of the pass
port.
Airlines operating between the coun-
tries would not be forced to pay taxes
and duties other than those for &C
tual services rendered at the airports
The complicated system of registering
each air passenger would be boiled
down to single document containing
all the information required about
those aboard the plane.
7 OOKING further into the future of
- easing the paths of the Latin
American tourist, the conference rec
commended a committee of five experts
be appointed to draft convention on
the simplification of customs, port and
consular procedure. Committees would
also be set up to coordinate laws on
railroad transportation and also on
highway communication.
To facilitate travel, each nation was
urged to continue studies of the prob
lem of linking the countries more
effectively by rail.

the state for the same purpose. The
men who rule Japan's destinies are
not in the least alarmed at the ia
crease Of Japan's internal indebted
ness so long as they can stimulate
their country's export trade and
shipping.
A fifth explanation for Japans
extraordinary success in the worlds
markets lies in the whole hearted
support given by every branch of gov
eminent to industry and commerce.
We must all admire this example OF
national team work, even If the ad-
niiration is grudging.
The efforts OF highly orga nized
nation of 100000 have been direct
ed toward making Japan mistress Of
the Pacific-politically commercially
and financially-as step on the road
to world domination. 1t is a gigantic
gamble. The edifice in the home
country may collapse; the financial
and economic foundations certainly
appear to be shaky. But in the mean
time the policy is succeeding. Its
present development is the attempt
to capture as large share as possible
of export trade anywhere and every
where, by means Of subsidies and
guarantees and loans to Japan's man
ufacturers and shippers.
There are various reasons for this
immediate policy. One is the neces-
sity of paying for the imports of food
stuffs to feed Japan's increasing pop
ulation. But these are, in the last
resort, paid for by internal borrowing;
for a large proportion of japanese
dumping does not show profit.
Secondly, there is the desire to
build up japanese industries in every
direction for war purposes. For the
same reason, Japan's mercantile ma
rine must be enlarged and 1t must be
active AS Japan brings more and
more Chinese territory under her con-
troll, japanese factories with cheap
Chinese labor are established, and no
doubt the same policy will be pursued.
The menace will become greater rather
than less. 1t is difficult to exaggerate
the seriousness of this situation from
the point OF view of the Western ma
tlOnS.

A SINGLE passport enabling
n the traveller to visit 20 for
~ eign countries is the novel
n prospect for those who some
day hope to prove to themselves
that Latin America is as alluring as
they have heard it to be. Following
a goal set several years ago to lift
the veil from the welcome sign, Pan
American Union members at recent
conference in Buenos Aires decided to
cut away more of the red tape which
many travellers regard as hostile, at
least annoying.
Tourist travel reforms took up
much of the agenda of the meetings,
out of which came the adoption OF
conventions looking to the single
passport, adequate for every Latin
American country; lifting restrictions
and fees on automobiles, bicycles,
motor cycles and planes the tourist
may bring with him for travel; adj
hitting the travellers sporting equip
ment tax free; simplifying air pas
senger arrival and departure routine;
and slashing port Aues to bare costs,
which action holds, perhaps, the pos
sibility that fares to South American
republics may be lowered unless they
are Offset by other factors.
WHILE the conventions were adopted
w in most cases unanimously by
the 81 countries represented-Mexico
Cuba, and all the vast continents
republics are members of the union
they must be ratified by each ma
ton before they become effective.
It Is safe to say that the major tour
ist development proposals will meet
final approval and open up an era
Of travel popularity. 0
Regulations now in force vary, but
only Mexico and Cuba have made
much progress in eliminating restric-
tions which the traveller regards as
irksome. Some countries rigidly en-
f1rce the requirement that all those
entering the country show vaccination
certificates: others require all travel
ers to post a stable bond when
they enter the country, and maintain
complicated passport formalities.
Under the single passport system
it is possible that the country

Smooth seas and bright, moonlit
nights give added zest to the sailing
trips from the inlet yachting center

n YEW YORK, August 3l.-The
M closing week of August, nor
" mally a period indicative OF
a the extent of Summer travel,
will this season serve only as partial
trend to the vacation movement, &C
cording to the monthly survey fore
cast on world travel tendencies. re-
.vased this week by the American Elk
press Co.
The extension of holiday travel into
September is one of the unprecedented
high lights Of 1885 and marks a new
tendency in Summer journeying at
home and abroad. Labor day, for
merly a deadline for recreational ac-
tivity. now bridges an expanding va
cation period into an Autumnal sea-
son. New England resorts, which
have recorded marked increase in
Summer visitors, are reporting the
best September reservations since 1880.
From the Adirondacks, st. Lawrence,
through the Great Lakes district, re-
sorts and hotels report from 20~ to 80
per cent more September reservations
than last year.
The Pacific Northwest records &c
per cent increase in tourist travel for
August, with indications of the best
September in history. California lists
it's Summer tourist increase at 81 per
cent. One of the most spectacular
items of Summer travel has been the
vacation visitors to the Pacific Coast,
with rail, bus and motor checkings
estimating that over 100000 visitors
will by November pass over the noun
tains westward. From Nova Scotia
to the Canadian Rockies, August tour
list business has eclipsed last year. with
indications of larger extension into
September. Estimates of from Is to
20 per cent increase in Canadian tour
ist business over 1884 are being made
throughout the Dominion.
DESPITE labor troubles along Pacific
Coast ports, August records the
largest passenger and cruise business
in six years. Regular steamship lines
report accommodations booked to ca
pacity to the end of the season, with
many travellers forced to accept pas
sage on combination freight and pas
senger vessels. This months heavy
East-bound traffic, by way of the
Panama Canal, is one of the notable
items in late August and September
steamship bookings.
Citing the near-capacity bookings
for Labor day cruises, with advance
reservations indicative Of splendid
coastal cruise Fall. the survey lists 80
September regular and cruise tours for
the Caribbean, West Indies, Gulf
ports and South America. Conspicu-
Gus in the waterfall cruise tours to
Mexico will be the new fare reduc-
tons, effective August 80 and Septem-
Der S. August sailings for South
America were the heaviest in years,
with Bermuda reservations still being
held at a premium. The port OF Ham
ilton records its third consecutive
month of record travel to Bermuda.
Cuban tourist trade, based on the first
seven months of this year, will exceed
1884 by approximately Is per cent.
From November l, 1884, to April 80,

cursionists arrived in Havana, COM

trade Of Japan up to point; but 1t
Is easy to exaggerate its Importance.
Thus, most Of Japan's raw materials
must be imported, and here the depre-
ciated currency operates in the other
direction.
Not an Inventive People.
With regard to the high degree of
mechanization in japanese mills and
factories, Japan Is not the only indus
trial nation that has reorganized its
manufacturing processes. Most Of
Japan's mill machinery has been
bought from England, America and
Germany. Japan's inventive genius is
not of such high order that great
improvements on the standard Amer
lean and British machinery have been
possible.
But even supposing that Japan's
cotton textile industry is more mod
ern and better equipped than her
rivals in Britain, America and other
countries, this would not explain the
extraordinary increase in the japanese
rayon industry. It is only in the last
Is years that the artificial silk in
dustry has been developed extensively
in any country. Actually, Japan has
bought a good deal of artificial silk
making machinery from mills in Eu-
rope which failed in the depression.
This machinery, not of the very
latest design, is now working side by
side with the very latest equipment;
but the combined product is quoted
by japanese exporters in the Aus
tralian market, for example. at rs
per cent less than the quotations for
exactly similar goods from British,
American and Italian manufacturers.
This despite the tariff preference of
half the duty in favor of British
goods.
We therefore are thrown back onto
the fourth explanation-namely, the
payment of subsidies
Key Found in Subsidies.
No country has ever attempted to
subsidize its export trade and its
shipping to the extent that Japan is
doing. The japanese government has
utilized the national credit to boost
up" her export trade to an amazing
extent. This is being done by piling
up an immense internal Indebtedness.
To all intents and purposes, Japanese
exports are carried practically free of
charge by japanese shipping COM
panies, the difference being made up
by the Japanese treasury.
Japanese exporters are practically
guaranteed against loss so long as
they export. They are even guaran-
teed minimum profits. They can
obtain loans for the purchase Of ma
chinery and equipment, erection OF
factories, engagement Of foreign ex-
perts, even the purchase OF raw
materials.
The Japanese government Is able to
do this by creating internal credit.
The Bank Of Japan has practically
unlimited right to issue notes to any
amount for this purpose, backed by
government bonds and treasury bills.

funds and the like are under lien TO
