Holding Company Debate--
 Just What It Really Means

Amercan financial device to put capital to work to market natural resources and services.
 Just a Service Fee
 At the same time, the parent, or top holding corporation can com pei it's children to adopt efficient methods and put out uniform pro- duct.
 But, the holding company device has grown so popular that promot- CTS have been tempted by the possi- sibility of pyramiding profits. Some holding companies have slipped wa ter into their stock issues as they piled one parent company on an- other, and some have forced oper- ating corporations to pay enormous fees for services or have even bor- rowed money from them.
 The number of financial tunes il IS possible to play on the holding company piano, in fact, is about as great as the flood coming from Tin Pan Alley.
 The holding company made pos sible such top-heavy financial em-

Japanese Boycott as Result Of War on China, Bombing Of Panay, Just Getting Underacoy
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. = It you have not heard much about the Ja- panese boycott is may help to bring you up to date to report that num- bers of impressionable girls in these parts are wearing cotton stockings and prominent Washington de- partment store has bought no Jap anese goods since the sinking of the Panay.
 Just what the girls or the store expect to accomplish by this boycott is not altogether clear at this mo- ment, but some of them are determ- ined about it. The general idea seems to be that if Japan can't sell goods to the U. s. she will have less money to carry on the war.
 Japan, however, is roping in China mainly to assure itself additional markets in which to sell export goods. If the United States stops buying from the Japanese it seems fair guess that the Japanese will try even more desperately to bottle up extra markets in the Orient. That sounds like more war, instead of less.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. The President is taking pot-shots at holding companies, and the holding companies are firing back. People are talking about financial pyramids and what not, without going very deeply into what these things are.
 Well, what is a holding com pany:
 Technically, it is a corporation in a position to control or influence other corporate structures through ownership of securities in those structures.
 The primary activity of holding company is to pump capital and efficiency into the smaller operating units it controls. Operating com- panies often welcome holding com pany control because powerful ti- nancial groups can issue and to sell the public securities that never could be marketed by an isolated company Thus it was that the holding company, like Topsy jus growed-and became a peculiarly

ADMIRAL LE AMY ASKS CONGRESS- FOR MORE SHIPS
Says Foreign Navy Build ing Program Forces
 Us to See Danger
WANTS SUPER
 EMPHASIZES
Describes World Conditions Most Threatening
 Since 1918

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. - The Navys Chief of Operations, Ad- miral William D. Leahy, today told Congress that enormous increases in naval strength undertaken by Great Britain and Japan has made it imperative that the United States strengthen it's fleet immediately. Testifying before a House Naval Committee, Admiral Leahy asserted ! the country's national security is jeapordized by the armament pro- gram launched by foreign powers since the expiration of the 1920 Lon don Naval Treaty.
 Admiral Leahy appeared before the Committee to discuss legisla- ton intended to carry out Presi- dent Rocsevelt's recommendations for an $8OO,O0o, GOO naval expansion program. Admiral Lealy described W 0 f Id conditions today as far more threatening than at any time since 1919,' and added that he saw no improvement of conditions in sight
 International Respect
 The United States Navy should be strong enough to insure inter national respect for the United States as a nation, Leahy said, and should make any attack upon this country or it's possessions too costly and too hazardous for any nation to attempt"
 Admiral Leahy further told Con- gress that the United States should build battleships larger than 25,- 900 tons, the limit fixed by the Lon den Naval Treaty, because it is al- most certain that the treaty na- tions would invoke the escape clause and build larger ships if it were de- termined that other countries were doing so'
 New Japanese Ship
 Tn response to a question from the Intelligence department, Leahy said he did not know whether or not Ja- pan was building a 43000-ton su- perdreadnaught as had been pub lished in Italian papers He further asserted that this country did not know anything of the tonnage or gun calibres of the new Japanese ships
 Questioned as to how the Navy might defend Washington, D. C., in the event the fleet was occupied in the Pacific, Leahy said he pre- stunned that the Army would be left in defense positions until the Navy fleet could reach the scene, but he opposed the division of the United States fleet between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.

Spanish Government t Charges Italian Under
 sea Boat with Attack

LONDON, Feb 1.-The British Admiralty has rushed four destroy ers, armed with depth charges, in search of mysterious marauding submarine which sank the British merchantmen Endymion, off the Southeastern Spanish coast, with a loss of II lives.
 The destroyers are under orders to drop depth bombs without hes Iitation if submarine is sighted and attempts to resist capture
 The flotilla centered the patrol about the Cape Timso area where the Endymion sank following the attack by the submarine
 Among the dead is Charles M. Larson, of Sweden, official of the European non-intervention Spanish committee.
 A Spanish Government conlnlus- ique received here attributes the torpedoing of the British vessel to the Insurgents.
 Spanish Government Ambassador Pablo Floriz charged that Italy as- signed four destroyers and two sub marines to the Spanish Insurgent fleet and also charges that an Ital- ian submarine sank the Endymion.
 The Envoy declared that his Government is amazed that the nations in the non-intervention bloc permitted the Spanish Rebels re- ceiving important units of foreign fleets to their naval forces

Alaska is a strange medley - a tremendous composite picture of old and new, shifting Kaleidoscope of color and blankness, long blue shadows on white snow, silvered wings of planes fantastically held aloft by human ingenuity above as savage terrain as the world boasts, plodding men on foot in a pitiless wilderness-stark courage, living re- duced to its lowest common denom- inator and a grand hail fellow well met camaraderie laced through it.
 No Tourist
 That's the Alaska I've seen in the two short weeks that have been my lucky lot here in the North. And I'm convinced that, beautiful as the other seasons may be. the real country is more visible in the win ter Because tourists are noticeable by their absence, and you can't see any country as it really is through tourists eyes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA move to protect the American salmon fishing resources in the Bering Sea is being supported by Alaska Dele- gate Anthony J. Dimond, who as- serted today that "an armed con- Iflict" might follow Japanese "en- coachment" of Alaskan fishing grounds.
 Delegate Dimond suggested tn e possibility of conflict in a state ment he prepared for the House Merchant Marine Committee hear ings on the bill to protect Alaska fisheries in the North Pacific.
 Gravely Apprehensive
 q am gravely apprehensive," said Dimond, that unless suitable leg islation is passed, there will be armed conflict in Boring Sea-
 Delegate Dimond added that he had reliable information that Am erican fishermen faced the know ledge of Japanese encroachments with certainty and that such con- tinued practice will mean the ex- haustion of the Boring Sea salmon fisheries. The American fishermen will resort to force against the Japanese fishermen if the Govern ment does not protect them and their jobs, further said the Dele- gate.
 Delegates Bill
 The bill introduced by the Dele- gate would make it unlawful for anyone to fish for salmon in wat CTS adjacent to the Alaskan coast except under Department of Com merce regulations The bill also would declare United States jur- isdiction over all Alaskan waters east of the International Boundary in Boring Sea where the depth is less than 100 fathoms
 Enforcement Areas
 The President would designate these areas as Salmon Fishery En- forcement Areas. Vessels found in such areas could be boarded by American officers and seized if any violation of the law was evident.
 Japan has repeatedly denied d what Delegate Dimond has said that Japanese are engaged in com mercial salmon fishing in Alaska Territorial waters.

SAYS MOSTLY TALK

Our reports indicate that the boycott has become sort of a game in New York City where the girls compare notes on the number of silk stockings they don't buy. One anti Japanese partisan bought herself pair of hsle stockings as a means of depriving the Japanese of muni- tions money, only to find on arriy- al at hom that Made in Japan was stamped on them.
 A few store clerks here say num- bers of patrons, especially during the Christmas holidays, asked for goods not made in Japan but a store manager says the amount of this discrimination was "less than you would expect from the amount of propaganda you hear about it."
 However. he says some textile mills are turning out new designs of lisle hosiery and few sheer types have appeared He seemed not especially enthusiastic about them and expressed doubt if the ladies would give up their silks. Some clerks in New York are more zealcus about suggesting what goods are not made in Japan.

Game and Fish Commissioners that
mosquito control was destroying
wild life. "At the time of the at
