Jananese Army DiscOurages Private

NEW YORK, June 8.-Although
Japan has poured nearly half mil
lion yen into Manchukuo, invest
ments of private capital there have
fallen far short of expectations be-
cause of the Japanese Army's eco
nomic control policy according to
the Far Eastern Survey of the
American Council Institute of Pa
cific Relations issued today.
In an analysis of foreign invest
ments in Manchuria before and
since the establishment of Manchu-
kuo, John Stewart, research asso-
ciate, declares that Japan now en-
joys a virtual monopoly of invest
ments in the new state, while for
eign interests, including the small
American stake, are steadily dimin-
ishing.
Despite the glowing prospects Of
fered by the exploitation of Man
churia's rich resources, the Japa-
nese Army, which was responsible
for the creation Of Manchukuo and
continues to control it, has lad
down a policy OF general economic
planning which operates against the
investment of private capital" as

incomes were made in the central
manufacturing area where agricul-
tural. industrial and mining incomes
were favorably affected. This area,
comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Mich
igan, Ohio and Wisconsin, showed
1884 income of S13,489 100000, an
expansion of $2,781 100000 over the
preceding year. Per capita income

California. States ahead in the ex-
tent of per capita gain during the
year were Michigan, Nevada, Ne
braska, Iowa, Montana, Ohio and
Connecticut.
Incomes derived from primary
production agriculture, manufac-
turing, mining and construction,
Brookmires points out, rose $4,417,-
100000 in 1884 over the preceding
year, while that from trade, trans
portation, government and other
services rose S., $4,000 900.
1t should be noted here that gov

ALLEYS URGED.
AS SITES FOR
BUILDINGS
Non-Profit Scheme Proposed
In Measure introduced
BY Mrs. Norton

Appropriation of $4,000 900 to
build municipal garages in the
District is provided for in a bill
introduced in the House today
by Representative Mary T. Nor.
ton CD of New Jersey, chair
man of the House District Com.
mittee.
The bill would empower the
District Commissioners to ap-
point a commission to operate
the garages on non-profit basis.
The measure is designed to fit
into the program of the Alley
Dwelling Authority.
Might Use Alleys
Money would be made available
out of the general fund of the
Treasury and would be repaid by
the District at the rate of per
cent year, or the garages could
be leased to private companies
who would pay from 2 to 4 per
cent a year on the investment
made in the garages.
Under the act creating the
alley clearance unit, alley prop.
erty may be purchased and con-
verted to some useful pur-
pose.
The alley sites must be re.
sold to maintain the balance Of
$50o,000 appropriated as the
working capital of the authority.
Ihlder Backs Plan
Under the bill introduced by
Mrs. Norton, it is intended that
the commission controlling the
garages should purchase suit
able sites from the Alley Author
ity and in this way expedite the
work of clearing up alleys.
John Ihlder. executive officer
of the Authority, stated such an
arrangement would greatly in
crease the possibilities Of
"quick turnover" of alley prop
erty.
However, he stated, not all Of
the alley sites are suitable for
such conversion and that there
are a number of sites which are
now being considered for other
purposes.

CIVIL SERVICE
GAINS FAVOR
Heads of Organized Federal
Workers Back Logan Bill;
BabcoCk Gives Views

Leaders of organized Federal
employees, representing m any
thousands of workers in the de-
partmental and emergency units
both in Washington and the
field" today expressed strong ap-
proval Of the Logan bill whereby
it is proposed to blanket noncivil
service Government employees into
the jurisdiction Of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
The bill, introduced by Senator
M. M. Logan CD, Of Kentucky,
member of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, has been re-
ferred to a subcommittee for
consideration. Should it receive
favorable action eventually, the
legislation would allow employees
to prove their fitness for Civil
Service status by passing a non
competitive examination.
Babcock in Favor
E. Claude Babcock, aggressive
president of the A. F. L.-aft1l1-
ated American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, hailed the
motion as follows:
81 am totally in favor Of in
cluding everybody in the ex-
ecutive branch Of the service
within Civil Service except per-
sons elected to office (the
President and Vice President)
and the smallest possible num-
ber of positions specifically ex-
empted by individual or ex-
ecutive order"
Mr.. Babcock pointed out, how
ever, that the large number OF
workers already in Civil Service
still remain deserving of bene-
fits for which favorable legisla-
ton is hoped.
Steward Enthusiastic
Luther C. Steward, president
of the conservative National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, and
a veteran of battles for the Gov.
ernment worker for more than Is
years, was particularly enthusi-
astic over the proposed legisla-
ton. Speaking for the Fedora
ton, he said:
I'VE are very much gratified
at the evidence of active in
terest already displayed by mem
berS of the House and Senate
in the protection and extension
of the merit principle in the
Federal service.
"The plan to appoint a sub
committee of the Senate Civil
Service Committee to consider
S564 (the Logan bill) is sub
stantiaI evidence that this queS-
tiOn will be a very live one dur.
ing the present session Of Con-
greSS.
"The bill was prepared by the
National Legislative Council Of
Federal Employees Organizations
and embOdies the principle Of
placing all civilian Federal posi-
tiOnS, other than pOIicy-making
ones, under the merit system"
