Community CHEST
GETS $4,000 MORE
Post Campaign Gifts Raise Total
to 01.4 Per Cent of
Goal

Post-campaign contributions total
ing nearly $4,000 were reported to-
day by the Community Chest.
Exact figures showed that $49.662.S5
has been received since the campaign
closed on November 30. This brings
the amount collected during and after
the campaign to $1,882,14143, or 91.4l
per cent Of the goal set, Chest ofhcials
said.
OF the late contributions $l,242.81
came from the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, which already had donated
$10,577.50. The r. F. c. went over
its quota by 1872 per cent.
When the Governmental Unit Of
the Chest failed to reach its quota,
Chairman Jesse Jones of the r. F. c.
asked that the agency which he heads
be given another chance to make up
its share of the deficit, and the re-
quest was granted.
In commenting on the fact that
only 81 per cent of the budget quota
set was raised Herbert l.. Willett, jr.,
director Of the Community Chest, said
that the original goal Of 2,059,0o0
was based on the minimum needs OF
the Chest agencies for the year, and
that every dollar under this amount
would mean less work could be ac-
complished and fewer people helped.

Our organization is very pleased to
know that Washington merchants
recognized the desirability of not hav-
ing economic relations with japanese
manufacturers as long as the japanese
militarvts continue to menace the
peace Of the world.
I'VE have received dozens of COM
plants that merchants are continuing
to carry full lines Of Japanese goods.
Because Of these complaints this COM
mittee IS aware that = widespread
sentiment against purchase of jap
anese goods exists.
This committee believes that the
Washington merchants who have de-
cided not to purchase further Japanese
goods are activated by the highest mo-
tives and that, further, they should be
commended for their attitude"

sponsored by the group. Miss Evelyn
King, q member Of the Washington
Chinese colony, yesterday urged Amer

HAZEN MODIFIES PLAN
FOR LICENSE CHECK.UP
Suggests Partial Survey by Police
to Ferret Out Firms Without
Business Privilege Permits.

Possible use Of police in q partial
check-up to determine whether busi-
ness firms have obtained a business
privilege license, as required under the
current revenue act, was suggested
today by Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen.
This alternative was advanced after
the Commissioner had agreed to a
position taken by Police Supt E. w.
Brown that police could not be en-
ployed in q house toulouse check-up
to ferret out concerns which may have
failed to obtain the business privilege
license. Maj. Brown said he did not
have . sufncient force to make q
complete house-to-house check up
since 1t might be that it would take
one or two weeks for q single police
man to complete q check Of only one
large oflioe building. However, Com
missioner Hazen suggested limited use
might be made Of police to check up
on individual small business houses.
In the meanwhile Allen F. Brooke,
administrator of the business privi-
lege division of the assessors ONCE,
has agents checking up on the re-
turns filed by business houses under
the gross receipts tax.

Hundreds of Drivers Make Last.
Minute Effort to Obtain
Permits.

Traffic around the District Building
was congested today by the presence
Of several hundred taxicabs whose
drivers were making last-minute ef-
fort to obtain their permits before
the deadline tomorrow night.
James L. Martin, executive secre-
tary Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, estimated some 800 taxicab
operators had failed up to today to
renew their permits. The cabs were
lined up in front of the District
Building on E street NV, awaiting
inspection by an agent of the commis-
sion, and there was an almost con-
tinuous stream Of other cabs being
driven around the District and Com
merce Buildings as their drivers
sought to find q place in the lineup
1t was expected the congestion would
be repeated again tomorrow. While
the commission offices close at AIS
pm, Mr.. Martin said the inspection
would be continued after hours today
so long as the cabs were in the line.

The international Highway
Seattle Post-Intelligencerl

Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
Welcoming President Roosevelt to Canada Pre-
mer Pattulo of British Columbia declared the Pres-
dents visit revived hopes for a highway extending
from Alaska to Patagonia
1t is gratifying intmation that Canada is ready
to resume consideration of building that section of
the proposed highway that would link the United
States with Alaska and British Columbia with the
Yukon.
On this side of the boundary there has been a
feeling that political changes in Canada had placed
obstacles in the way of this joint endeavor
In our nation there is no disposition to regard
the question as partisan Alaskan agitation for the
highway began during the administration of Presi-
dent Hoover and the nations recognized the need
for improved communication by appointment of joint
investigators.
Their preliminary researches confirmed beliefs
as to the engineering feasibility and economic ad-
vantages of the plan But they indicated the nature
of the serious problems that must be solved before
this international venture would be practicable
The depression temporarily called halt to the
proposal But both nations in better position
to resume consideration
In our national capital there is difference OF
opinion as to whether would be better to establish
Joint commission to devote itself exclusively to this
question as proposed by Representative Magnuson,
or to use the existing diplomatic channels
The important thing is to be assured that our
Canadian neighborS ready to resume considera-
ton and that assurance seems to have been given,
so far as the province Of British Columbia is con-
cerned by Premier Pattuo.
