COLON, Panama, January l.-Pre-
cautions described by old residents as
unprecedented in the history Of the
Panama Canal were taken here today
as rumors Of threats to blow up Gatun
Locks spread through the area.
The canal authorities were quick to

nous note to H. NJ. Thomas, assistant
superintendent at Gatun.

would be taken for a four month
period. No outsider was permitted to
enter the lock area Three sentries ard
a Canal Zone policeman were stationed
at the gates. All employees, who carry
packages are being searched.
The 14th Infantry Company was en-
camped on the wall Of the lock.
The Military Intelligence Service
and Thomas himself, denied receipt of
the note.
Tourists arriving here on the s. s.
Kungsholm were refused entrance to
the lock area.
United States Senator David A. Reed

the ship, smiled when he and his party
were forbidden entrance to Gatun
Lock. as Japanese freighter was being

I'VE are on the way out
That is the expressed new years
belief Of Gen. Hugh S. johnson. for
mer N. r. A. chief. He said in a
statement last night:
"Of course things are getting bet
ter and they will continue to get
better-whether aided or hindered by
what the Government may do.
This Is because time works against
depreSsions. Actions and reactions
are equal. and we already have had
too much reaction. The starved de-
mand for all commodities accumu-
lated over four terrible years, the
dilapidation of housing, the consump-
tion of reserves Of all things con-
sumable, the elimination of the farm
surplus, the last liquidation of old
debts, the increasing population
work to erase depression.
If Government aid is wise it can
stimulate and greatly hasten this
healing process. If it Is unwise. it
can hinder it, but all the boners the
Government can pull can't stop it.
We are on the way out, propelled by
natural forces which nothing can
forestau."

ROADS DAMAGED \
BY EARTH SHOCKS
California, Arizona and
Mexico Feel Most Severe
Quake Since 1888.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CALEXICO, Calf, January IAN
intense, undulating earthquake shock
Southern California, Arizona and
Northern Mexico yesterday, causing
severe damage to Lower California ir-
rigation canals, buckling roads and
opening wide crevices in the earth.
Survey parties returning from out
lying districts, brought new evidence
to strengthen the belief of seismolo-
gists that the quake had its epicenter
not more than II miles south of the
international border. 1t began at
10:46:40 am, Pacific standard time,
and lasted 212 minutes.
Observers said that irrigation canal
banks had dropped as much as 2
feet, in some instances, and told of
roads so badly broken and SCARED
that it was difficult to maneuver an
automobile over them.
d Deep cracks in the earth were de-
scribed in the vicinity of volcanic
lake below the border. The district
telephone system was reported to be
out Of order as a result Of equipment
damaged by the quake.
No estimates of the destruction were
advanced This was the second South
ern California quake in two days.
Other property damage in cities in
the Southern California area appar-
emily was negligible.
The quake was described by seis-
mologists as being at least twice the
intensity of the one in March, 1893,
at Long Beach, Calf, in which l20
persons were killed and S75,O00,0o0
property damage caused.

TREASURY DEFICIT
NEAR TWO BILLION
s1,696,296,861 More Spent
Than Received in First
Half of 1884.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury closed its books on
the first half Of the fiscal year with
the deficit rapidly pushing toward the
two -billion-dollar mark.
With figures for the last two days
still to be made public, this excess of
money spent over money received
stood at 1886, ,286 ,36l, in spite of an
increase of nearly half a billion in
revenues.
Expenditures Greater.
Both general and emergency ex-
penditures were greater than in the
corresponding period a year ego to
produce q correspondingly greater
deficit than that of $1,152,972, SOS,
which the books revealed on Decem-
Der %, 1898.
Borrowings to finance the admins
tration recovery drive over the last
six months jumped the public debt by
nearly billion and half. When the
fiscal year began, 1t stood at S27, ,053,-
141,414-last Friday, it was $28, ,480,-
663,124.
And the s1,427, ,521 ,7os borrowed all
has been spent and a little besides,
for the Treasury's cash balance is now
about $40, 900 900 less than when the
fiscal year started last July l.
With these facts before them, PIesi-
dent Roosevelt and his advisors are
constructing a budget for the re-
mainder of the current fiscal year and
for the fiscal year which will end
June 30, 1896. 1t probably will be
submitted to Congress next Monday.
Message Is Awaited.
The message and its figures are
awaited with intense interest by all
In Washington, for it will reveal with
exactitude the Chief Executives plans
for relief payments through the rest
of the Winter and the size Of the pub
lie works program he has in mind.
Unofficial estimates of its extents have
ranged from 2 to 10 billions.
The business world and Republican
critics who have been clamoring for
a balanced budget at the earliest pos
sible date are watching for indications
Of the Presidents revised plans in this
connection. A year ago he forecast
balanced budget by June 80, 1886.

Their reasoning is convincing.
The japanese feet is slightly Su-
perior to OURS in its home UdterS,
but sharply inferior to ours in our
matters. Neither needs to fear the
other il it stays Dhere it belongs.
Under our building program, we
will not reach for eight years the
strength allowed us under the de-
nounced treaty. Unquestionably, we
will speed up that program eventu-
ally, but neither Japan nor the
United States can go beyond its
treaty restrictions until two years
from last Saturday. THE treaty is
in effect until two years after de-
nunciation) From a strictly naval
standpoint, therefore, the ideal time
for us to 60 to war would be no
sooner than five years from now.
Also, the denounced treaty calls
for a conference of all parties next
December. Many things will happen
before then Indeed, it would not
be surprising If there were a social
upheaval in Japan.
Neither Wants War.
The most convincing argument
against war, however, is the old
fact that we do not want it and
Japan does not want it. We know
what Japan is up to. She wants
to build up her empire in the Far
East She will reach out beyond
the borders of Manchukuo as soon
as she has absorbed that area COM
pletely. Many Of our authorities are
secretly convinced that she started
this naval argument partially as a
move to distract world attention from
her purpose.
A Uar noU tDould bring the
tUorld powers doUn on her neck
and ruin her expansion program.
She ,Dill not be 30 foolish as to
bring it on.
State Secretary Hull has used the
publicity rapier sharply in fencing
with Japan lately.
He heard "a hours in advance that
the japanese denunciation of the
naval treaty was coming. Immedi-
ately he gave out a new protest
against Japanese oil order in Man
chukuo. That order requires all Gil
companies to keep six months supply
on hand. OF course. the japanese
want to seize the oil in event of
war. Oil is their major weakness.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Headache Plus Japan Plus
u. S. Equals Wrong
Naval Answer.
BY PAUL MALLON.

IF YOU have a New Year head
ache, don't try to put two and
two together in the japanese
i naval trouble. Even with a clear
head you would get the wrong
answer. The subtle purposes Of diplo-
macy cannot be reduced to arithmetic.
1t is true that the arms limitation
treaty is probably lost for the present.
Privately, our people do not expect
Japan to give in, and we certainly
have no idea of surrendering. 1t Is
also true that our fleets are going
through unusually fancy maneuvers
not far from each other in mid-Pacific
next Summer; that legislation to limit
war profits will probably be enacted
before then; that diplomatic relations
between Japan and the United States
are fast becoming no better. Yet the
sum total of these facts is not what it
seems to be. In reality, it is not even
enough to make a major crisis.
War Talk Nil.
There is no war talk at all here
among people who know what they
talk about. There is some conversa-
tional gossip, in idle moments, but 10
out of 10 authorities In the State, War
and Navy Departments do not even
think of the existing situation in terms
of war. They look on it as diplomatic
haggling which is not even dangerous
if every one keeps his head.

PRESIDENT RUSHES'
work ON MESSAGE
Expects to Complete Writ
Ing by Tonight-DeIivery
Likely Friday.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt Is spending New
Year day working on his annual mes
sage to Congress and putting finishing
touches to his message accompanying
the budget estimates, also to be sent
to Congress after it convenes.
The President said early today he
expected to be laboring the greater
part Of the day. He made no arrange
ments for any formal observation of
New Year holiday.
Like millions of others throughout
the country the President remained
up last night TO see the New Year in
and consequently remained in bed this
morning later than usual.
Retired After 1 O'Clock.
1t was past o'clock when Mr..
Roosevelt finally retired for the night
During the earlier part of the eve
ming he had presided over a New
Year eve dinner party in the state
dining room, and afterward enjoyed
an entertainment in the east room,
the feature of which was a sleight-
of-hand performance by ]. Elder
Blackredge, an amateur magician.
The President following this watched
the cancing of the young folks and
later went to his study on the second
floor of the White House, where with
Mrs. Roosevelt and his mother. Mrs.
Sarah Delano Roosevelt, he awaited
the new year.
The dinner party at the White
House last night preceding the dance
was in honor of James Roosevelt, the
eldest of the Roosevelt sons, and his
wife, and Elliott Roosevelt, the Sec
ond eldest son. and his wife. The
Elliott Roosevelts were delayed on
their journey back from Texas, where
they had been spending the Christmas
holidays and, therefore, did not ar
rive in time for the dinner party.
They reached the White House in
time for breakfast this morning.
AS was done last year, the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt omitted a New
Year day reception.
No Engagements Today.
Mr.. Roosevelt made no engagements
for today.
He would make no predictions to-
day, but hopes to complete the mes
sage some time tonight and get it to
the Public Printer in time to correct
his proof sheets before noon tomor-
row.
1t is likely the President will go to
the Capitol in person to read his mes
sage. 1t has not been decided yet
just what day the message will be
read, although it is understood that
1t will probably be Friday, the day fol-
lowing the convening of the Congress.
The budget message will follow prob
ably Monday.

Afterward, when the denunciation
note was delivered, Hull hastily pre-
pared statement of the American
position. He did not give it out i'm
mediately, but held it back for morn

licity against the Japanese note There

Entrusted Resolutions.

tirely trustworthy, but he has collected
a number of New Year resolutions
supposed to have been made mentally
by New Deal statesmen. They in

with recovery"
Mr.. Morgenthau-"Keep the gold

Mr.. Richberg-"Never to believe
anything until I see it in book form"
MIR. Ickes-"To have CLAWS investi-
gate me-"
Prof. Tugwell-"To be seen but not
heard"
Wishes Ahead.

ports with more of ring of sincerity
what they are looking forward to in
the coming year:
Mr.. Roosevelt-Recovery.
Republicans-Leadership.
Senator-elect Rush Holt-A BIRTH
day.
Senator Borah "A white-haired

past receptions, from making his an
nual appearance at the Executive
Mansion.

field explained, ''in case Mr.. Roosevelt
changed his mind and decided to do
some receiving. I also wanted to keep
my record clear

that he wanted to be first in line even
though there was nothing to be first in
line for. He is very proud of his rec
ord, and said today that it is his aim
to come to the White House gate every
New Year day as long as he lives.
If New Year day passes without me
showing up, you will know am either

colored necktie, which he said he
wears only for White House visits.

Speaking of his record, the veteran
flrst-in-liner explained that he does
not count the time q young woman
edged her way in front Of him when
he was at the head of the line forming
at the west gate in 1928. He said the
woman represented herself as news
paper reporter, so he did not take is
sue with her at the time. Except for
losing his place due to this misrepre-
he contends his record" Is
