AT NEW.H|GH

TOKYO, O.N.SD.-Reports are
current in Tokyo that Japan's
long-delayed army budget, which
Is soon to be submitted to the fin
ance ministry, will total approx
mately 800, 100000 yen. This sum
is an increase Of 312,000,000 yen
over expenditures in the current
fiscal year and marks a new high.
The 820,OO0,O0O will be the
army's absolute minimum and no
cut whatsoever will be accepted,
say authorities. For months Of.
ficialS Of the war office have been
engaged in figuring out what will
be needed under the new expan-
sion plan and have tried to cut
the estimates to the smallest pos
sible sum. If the budget bureau
makes any reduction in the
amount asked, the war office will
demand the sum eliminated in the
form of an additional appropria-
ton, they say. Chief items for
which the 300,000,000 yen replen-
ishment fund will be used include
perfection of the air force; i'm
provement in general armament;
increase in war materials in ia
pan proper, Korea, and Formosa;
and improvement in the general
defense facilities in Manchukuo,
Including an increase in the num-
ber of japanese troops stationed
there.

Drive Scheduled
On Dried Fruit Sales

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. THE
weeks beginning October II and
october 10 were announced as
the dates for the nationwide
sales drive on California dried
fruits, a movement launched by
$1,000 chain stores to help a $685.
100000 industry.
The California Dried Fruit
Sterilization C o m m i t tee e, COM
posed of leading growers of the
State, opened negotiations with
chain store executives several
months ago when it became ap-
parent that available supplies, in
view Of curtailment of the export
market ecauss of unsettled
world affairs, were too great to
be sold at satisfactory prices
without SPECIAL help. Thirty
thousand families depend upon
the dried fruit industry and new
outlets for these products became
imperative.

ATTACK0NU.S 5.
ISSC0UTEDBY
JOURNALIST

One-third Of this country's
standing army and one-half of its
present Navy would be adequate
to protect America from foreign
invasion, Mauritz Hallgren, jour-
nalish of the Washington bureau
of the Baltimore Sun, today told
delegates attending the annual
meeting of the National Council
for the Prevention of War, hold
ing session at the Lee House.
Mr.. Hallgren gave a statistical
and technical analysis of this
country'S defense needs. He said
this country is absolutely safe
from foreign invasion. and that
any power would be "foolhardy"
in even thinking of an attack.
Based On Findings
Basing his statements on find
ings Of facts by various Govern
ment agencies, the journalist
pointed out that to bring an army
of 100000 men to American
shores, a foreign power would
need an armada Of $50 ships, and
that under present conditions Of
foreign fleets, such an armada,
travelling as a single unit, could
only average 10 knots an hour.
This, he computed, would entail a
26-day ocean crossing and, upon
arriving on American shores,
would begin the enemyS problem
of unloading the men.
Success of an invasion, Mr.. Hall
gren stated, would be impossible,
due to the heavy Notifications of
American ports and the physical
difficulty of feeding an invading
army.
DR.. Henry F. Grady, former
chief of the trade agreement sec
ton of the State Department., and
at present attached to the Univer-
Sity of California, lauded Secretary
of State Hull on his foreign trade
agreement policies, stating that
the reciprocal tariff agreements.
under the most favored nation
clauses, were conducive to world
peace and were influencing foreign
powers to follow similar policies.
Neutrality Urged
Stronger neutrality legislation,
including embargoes on basic war
materials, were advocated by Will
liam T. Stone, of the Foreign
Policy Association, who said the
present temporary neutrality act
probably would be strengthened
during the coming session of Con-
gress. DR.. Philip C. JeSsup. pro-
fessor of law at Columbia Univer-
Sity, said the framework of set
tling disputes between govern
ments was in itself no guarantee
of peace, but that it gave countries
a formal approach to settlement
of their difficulties.
The sessions will continue
through tomorrow and will be con-
cluded Friday afternoon. A ban
quet will be held tomorrow night

D. E. SOLVENT,
RECORD FOR
"a CITIES

Although Washington is facing
deficit unless Congress increases
the Federal grant or the Commis-
Sioners slash their budget esti-
mates, it is at present the only
municipality of any size than can
boast of having no actual indebt-
edneSS.
This completely solvent situa-
tion is revealed in report made
public by the Census Bureau for
1894.
The report made known that
the total net debt of the "a
largest cities in the United States
was $6,380,478,0O0, and that dur
ing that year a total of $2,711,-
004,0000 was collected as city
taxes in these cities.
When reduced to per capita
figures, the report revealed that
each resident of the "a cities
shouldered a $169.76 municipal
debt and paid $72.13 in taxes.
In practically all the cities the
net debt in 1884 increased in COM
parison with 1925. OF course, the
District of Columbia, having no
debt, was not affected, but Oak
land, Calf, increased her debt in
that period by 159 per cent.
New York's debt went up 26
per cent, Chicago's debt went up
95 per cent, and Detroit'S up 20
per cent.
OF all the cities surveyed, New
York led the list in the amount OF
increased debt, contracting addi-
tional Indebtedness of $1,865 ,221,-
900 from 1926 to 1884. The per
capita debt of the eastern metrop-
oils was $260.71.
AS to per capita cost Of govern
ment, New York led the list with
$88.42, Washington having a per
capita of $66.03. The property
tax here in 1884 brought in $780,
$4,000.

N. Y. CLUB HERE
ROUNDS UP
VOTERS
By EARL GOODWIN

Now Is the time for all good
men to come to the aid Of their
party"
This slogan used by every type
writer repairman to test tipping
machines, is now in dead earnest
the slogan Of the New York State
Democratic Club of the District
OF Columbia. This group, an out
growth Of the Roosevelt Nomina'
tors which staged a demonStra-
ton at Griffith Stadium the night
that President Roosevelt delivered
his acceptance speech at the Dem
ocratic national convention in
Philadelphia, is carrying on an
active Democratic campaign here.
The objective is as large an
exodus as possible to New York on
election day, with the idea Of a
complete roster Of votes for the
Administration, as we'll as voting
support for Governor Lehman.
Big Democratic Dinner
The New York State Demo
cratic Club has announced that
it will hold a dinner october IT
at the Mayflower Hotel at which
the attendance will be as many
as the Mayflower can seat in its
ball room and overflow rooms.
The club officially announces
that Mrs. Roosevelt, Governor
Lehman, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau, Secretary OF La
Dor Perkins and Senator Wagner,
of New York, will speak. Of
ficialS of the club are Mrs. Mar
ion Buck. president, and Miss
Elizabeth F. Ruth, treasurer.
In charge of the dinner is
Major Malcolm Kilduff, with
Thomas Burke, chairman Of the
reception committee, and Richard
F. Wagner, chairman of speakers
and publicity.
Every one of the 81 New York
counties has been organized, with
an active committee representing
each State. especially the upper
tier Of counties where it is under
stood the Republicans have a
strong hold on the average man
and woman. One of the activities
of the New York State Democratic
Club is letter writing to newspa-
perS of the "back home" variety.
Smith Influence Feared
Now that former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith has taken his walk" and
is completely out of the New Deal
column, New York Democrats here
do not conceal their fear that he
will be able to swing dangerously
large number of Greater New York
voters with him, regardless of
what all the New Deal dopeSterS
have to say on the subject.
1t is also true that the G.. o. P.
has a strong local committee doing
it's best to send thousands of New
Workers back home to vote on cleo
ton day or to make use Of the
absentee voters privilege. New
Deal policy, however, seems to indi-
cate that the High Command
wants to see as many New Workers
as possible actually going to New
York and casting votes in person.
