chino-Japanese War

IAPAN'S armies were slowed up
- by rain and mud in their ad-
vance up the Yangtse valley, but
as there seemed no likelihood that
the Chinese line of defense would
hold, the Nationalist government
moved out of Marking, scattering it's
departments among a number of
cities. American Ambassador John
son and his staff moved to Hankow.
The Japanese commanders in
Shanghai took over full control of
most of the city and its customs Of
fee. They demanded that the in
ternational settlement and French
concession officials hand over the
city's four leading citizens as hos
tages. Most prominent of these was
T. v. Soong, brother-in-law of Die
tator Chang Kai-Shek.
The Far East conference in Brus-
sells, unable to accomplish anything
to end the Chino-Japanese conflict,

BuiIdinq Boom Wanted

p EVISION of the existing housing
IN law in order to facilitate a
building boom was asked by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a special message
to congress. He said such legisla-
tion would ease the flow of credit
and open great reservoirs of idle
capital to fight the business slump.
The responsibility for the success OF
such a program he placed squarely
on labor and industry.
Specifically, the President recon-
mended changes in the housing act
which would:
/. Reduce from 51s per cent to 5
per cent the interest and service
charges permitted by the Federal
Housing administration on loans
made by private institutions.
2. Authorize the housing admin
istrator to fix the mortgage insur-
ance premium charge as low as a
of l per cent on the diminishing
balance of the insured mortgage in
stead of on the original face
amount, and to "a of per cent on
the diminishing balance of an in
sured mortgage where the estimat-
ed value of the property does not
exceed $4,000 and where the mort
gage is insured prior to July l, 1889.
8. Increase the insurable limit
from 80 to 80 per cent in cases
where the appraised value of the
property does not exceed $4,000.
4. Facilitate the construction and
financing of groups of houses for
rent, or for rent with options to pur-
chase, through blanket mortgages.
S. Clarity and simplify provisions
for the construction of large scale
rental properties through facilitat-
ing their financing.
6. Grant national mortgage asso-
Citations explicit authority to make
loans on large-scale properties that
are subject to special regulation by
the federal housing administrator.
z. Remove the July l, 1899, limita-
ton on the $4,000, 900, 900 permitted
to be outstanding in mortgages, with
congress eventually limiting the in
surance of mortgages prior to the
beginning of construction of individ-
ual projects.
8. Permit insurance for repair and
modernization loans as provided
previous to April / of this year
when this provision of the housing
act expired.

Vinson to Be Judge

DRESlDENT ROOSEVELT sent to
the senate the nomination of Rep
resentative Fred M. Vinson of Ken
lucky to fill vacancy in the United
States court of appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia. The post carries
a salary of $4,000 a year, the same
as paid a representative, but the ap-
pointment is for life and carries re-
tirement privileges. Mr.. Vinson,
who has been an outstanding tax
expert of the house, is forty-seven
years old and serving his seventh
term. His home is Ashland, KY.
The President also nominated As
sociate Justice D. Lawrence Groner
of Virginia to be chief justice of the
court, creating another vacancy.
Croner will be succeeded by Henry
White Edgerton of New York,
whose nomination also went to the
senate.

Beavers ON Increase

Ninety-six beavers, imported into
Pennsylvania, where they had beer
extinct, have multiplied to well
over $4,000, according to beaver
count. The SO animals were brought

Farm Bill Reported

MARVIN JONES of Texas, chair
AVA man of the house agricultural
committee, submitted the houses
farm bill, together with a majority
report defending the measure and
calling for speedy enactment so that
the rise of mounting crop surpluses
which are depressing market prices
may be Offset.
The house bill is less drastic than
the senate version, but it was de-
nounced vigorously in a minority
report which declared it was ''un-
constitutional, unsound, un-Ameri-
can," likely to work to the detri-
ment of American agriculture" and
threatening to "dislocate" foreign
and domestic markets.
Both house and senate bills, it was
predicted, would be modified be-
cause of the Presidents implied
threat to veto the legislation un-
less it was put on "pay-as-you-
go" basis. He insisted the farm
bill must not interfere with his plans
to balance the budget.

The United States, declares Her
bert U. Nelson, secretary of the

virtually matriarchy. In no other
nation known to history, he points
out, have women owned or con-
trolled so much of the wealth.

Small Town Spending

a UTOMOBILES, more food and
a better clothing are the most
urgent desires of small-town fami-
lies. That was the implication pre-
sented in a matter-of-fact analysis
of surveys of the spending habits of
families in 46 villages in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Iowa.
The study, made by the bureau of
home economics, showed that when
income increased among these
cross-section village families, it was
usually followed by a rapid rise in
expenditures for food and clothes
and even more marked jumps in
the proportion of income spent on
automobiles.
In income ranges from $3.50 to
81, 499, food expense for wage-earn-
ers' families jumped from an aver
age of $180 to an average of $3.50;
clothes from an average of $25 to
an average of $186; expense for
the family car from an average of
$l4 to an average of $315.

Green Opposes Labor Bill

N ILLIAM GREEN, president OF
w the A. F. of L., practically
broke with the administration by
denouncing the pending wage and
hour bill as unacceptable to labor
and demanding that it be sent back
to committee for revision.
Green assailed the national labor
relations board and declared it no
longer is safe to permit govern
ment board of that kind to admin
lister laws governing labor relations
with employers.

Committee Scans
Bond Trends and
Reserve Policies
BY the Associated Press,

The Federal Reserve Systems Open
Market Committee is meeting today
for its annual election of an executive
committee.
Omcials said the meeting was called
before heavy selling developed last
Friday in the Government bona mar
ket and forecast that no action look
ing to the support of Government
bonds would be taken.
1t was indicated, however, that the
committee would survey bond market
conditions.
The open market group has charge
of the Reserve Board activities in the
purchase and sale of Government obli-
cations. Informed authorities have
predicted it would buy Federal obli-
cations to check any sharp break in
the market.
