WAR IMPERILS VAST AMERICAN
INVESTMENTS in FAR EAST
American Investments in
China Alone Declared
Half Billion -r-e-

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. CUP
Commerce department officials
estimated last night that more
than S50O,000,000 of American
investments in China and Japan
are threatened unless the Sino-
Japanese conflict is settled soon.
At the same time, the depart
ment published a report showing
that the aggregate income from
American investments abroad in
creased to an estimated $685.
100000 in 1886 from 1921 ,000,-
900 in 1885. This increase, the
report said, reflected the inn
provement in world economic
conditions last year. Commerce
officials agreed, however, that
this upward trend could hardly
be maintained this year unless a
speedy end is brought to the war
fare in the orient.
American investments in Chi
ma, exclusive of S50,000,0O0 in
missionary properties total $751;
100000, most of it in mercantile
enterprises.
Invested in Japan is $376,0OO,-
900 most of which is represented
by bonds and other securities.
Continuance of the Sino-Jap-
anese hostilities undoubtedly al
ready has affected American in
vestments in China, because of
the curtailment of business activ-
tiles in Shanghai.
However, one official pointed
out, the Japanese military expen-
ditures might have an effect on
the Toxic budget with the result
that it might be reflected in in

Stain always has been the most
inaccessible of the worlds rulers
but since the present political and
industrial crisis in the Soviet
Union he is seen in public even
less.
While in Moscow two years ago,
l caught glimpses of Stain three
times whiZzing through the city's
streets in his Lincoln sedan; but
this time | could find no one who
had seen him in public in the last
few weeks.
"The man of steel" spends most
of his time in his office and
apartment behind the high walls
of the Kremlin. Occasionally he
~ IS his country home 20 miles
outside the city.
Undoubtedly he is acutely con.
scious of the dangers of assassi-
nation, especially since the muir,
der of his longtime friend Sergei
Kirov, which proved that even
Soviet chieftains Of the inner ring
were not safe from political as
saSSins.
DID NOT EVEN CO TO
GREET POLAR filters
Although it generally was ex-
pected that Stain would 60 to
the railroad station to greet the
first group of aviators who flew
over the North Pole to America
he did not appear. The govern,
ment staged q show reminiscent
of New York welcomes complete
with millions Of scraps of paper
flung from buildings except IN
the case they were anti-Fasclst
leaflets). Stain received the fiji
ers later at the Kremlin.
When he does emerge from the
Kremlin, he is guarded more
carefully than any other world
figure. He speeds to his country
estate in a shiny new Soviet car
with green glas swindows and
modelled on the lines of the Lin
coin and Packard. The route leads
over a road posted day and night
with uniformed guards of the
NKVD formerly G. P. u, every
few hundred yards. On the backs
of telephone poles along the way
are special telephones for quick
communication. The guards Jot
down the number of every car
passing over the road. Besides
those precautions the highway is
patrolled constantly by cars fill
ed with plainclothes men. Any
automobile which tarries even a
few minutes is Immediately check
ed by the blainclothes men who
quickly draw up alongside. =,
