WASHINGTON, March 3.-If you think national
war policy is too timid, just pop off member
of the Cabinet-that is getting to be habit in
Japan.
These ASiatic assaSsinatons do not follow any
known pattern of political murders-which all fall
into one of about three classes These are unique in
the kind of perpetrators in the method, and in the
apparent purpose. Maybe they have some odd JAP
anese significance, like hara kri save your honor
even If you lose your inteStineS-or jumping into
blazing crater to attain Nirvana.
There is one unfaing and unvarying persistence
about Japan-ke a mushroom pushing itself up
through an asphalt pavement-a belief in manifest
destiny and a policy of armed expansion evident
since 1894.
There seems never to be any question about the
universal, impacable and almost religious design
only about the speed and timing of it's successive
steps All Japanese seem to take it for granted like
recurrence of the tides-ordained and irresistible
ana they serve 1t with great sacrifice and patience
nUR Army has been discovering Japanese officers
~ "on leave" among servants and huckSters for
80 years. The Navy has had similar experiences
There are plenty of them in northern Mexico Per-
Shlng's principal secret agent in Chihuahua was a
japanese Lieutenant Colonel-acting as an aid to
Villa, but not above doing little honest spying for

Certain wholly unexplained incidents in our own
history suggest that we have been close enough to
this much of destiny to smell suphur-the "ght-or-
frolic" cruise of battle fleet under Theodore
Roosevelt; our sudden speed in fortifying Manila;
our border mobilization in 1911; Funstons back
track at Vera Cruz; and Pershng's strange orders
after Carrizal. If japan was the explanation of
any of these, we have bluffed euchred our way
out of trouble but trouble is always possible
We always can be certain of japanese aggression,
at least in Asia We may delay it again and again,
but judging from its uninterrupted history for nearly

Labor and industry: From the
low point of the depression early
in 1885," the report said, 1.-THE
value of production increased
rapidly and was accompanied by
unemployment and by an in
crease in national income.
THE volume of output of basic
products was only half as large in
1882 as in 1929, while the num-
Der of factory employees was
about 40 per cent smaller and
pay rolls about 60 per cent less.
TOR the first IL months of
L 1885," the report said, latter
two and one-half years of i'm
provement in industrial activity,
the volume of manufacturing was
about SO per cent larger than in
the early part of 1888, and was
some Is per CENT below the level
of 1929.
1.-The number of factory en-
ployes had also increased and in
1885 was about 20 per cent below
the 1929 level. Factory pay rolls
in 1885 increased by about so per
cent. but we're still IS per cent be-

or an increase of ~ per cent"
However, the report stated, "the
effect of NRA on general recov-
cry can not be traced in any
such direct way as in hourly
wages and work-week because of
the many agencies that have been
