Japan's concern over the United States,
proposed $500, ,00O, 900 naval expansion.
THE United States naval building
program" the spokesman said, must
be taken into serious consideration.
America and Britain presently are
the greatest navies in the world, but no
country menaces them.
Perhaps they think it necessary to
set up sort of police force to guard
world peace, but their policies incite
other countries to take up the naval
building race"
He emphasized that Japan was not
allied with Italy and Germany, and
that therefore their naval programs
do not affect the Far East" Japan is
linked with the two Fascist states in
an accord against Communism)
The Japanese spokesman presum-
ably referred to statements by the
American Admiral william D. Leahy,
chief Of naval operations, before the
House Committee on Naval Affairs
Tuesday. Admiral Leahy linked Japan,
Germany and Italy in discussion Of
strength Of foreign navies, and said he

The little business" conference
ended on a riotous note at noon today
with two delegates elected from the
Commerce Department auditorium
after 800 business men and women
had adopted program calling for
financial aid for small establishments.
tax relief. assurance against adverse
legislation and the adoption Of other
policies by government designed to
cure current economic ills.
A. S. Shafer: the Philadelphian
whose vocal efforts caused his removal
by police yesterday. felt the ire of his
associates today, group of them
seizing him and dragging him from
the auditorium just as the convention
was winding up.
A few moments before Mr.. Shafer's
election, police removed a man who
said ne was Robert Kaenpher Of New
York when he insisted on talking
despite warnings from the chair.
Conference Had Been Calm.
Until the blow-off just before ad-
Journment the conference had pro-
ceeded with calm that was in marked
contrast to yesterdays tumult.
Apparently as a result of some
overnight maneusering, which saw
plans for regional discussion broken
up, the conference went into session
at 1890 o'clock and began considera-
ton OF a program drawn up by a
group meetings for presentation to
President Roosevelt this afternoon.
As the first, of the committee re-
ports wa presented delegates clamored
for the right to discuss it, but Fred
Roth, the Cleveland shoe manufac-
turer, who presided, ruled discussion
out of order, until the reports came
up in the form of resolutions.
The delegates quieted. apparently
with the understanding that they were
to get a chance to talk later. but as
the final report was in there was a
motion made for the adoption Of all,
and by standing vote, Chairman
Roth declared the motion carried.
Majority Prevails.
There were angry shouts OF mo, Mo-
as large group of delegates sought
to halt this ''railroading," but the ma
jority prevailed.
Chairman Roth said any one who
had objections could present them
in writing. There will always be
minority reports" he told the con-
ference, and then switched to less
controversial matters by calling for
a vote of thanks for all officials Of
the Department of Commerce who
had assisted in the meeting.
One by one. the department aides
paraded to the platform for their
small rounds of applause.
A rising vote of thanks had just been
rendered everybody who had anything
to do with promoting the conference,
when the Kaempher outburst started.
Discordant Note Protested.
At intervals throughout the morning
the New Yorker had been demanding
certain legislation without making any
particular headway. He was using
one end Of the long press table for his
rostrum. and finally, with the air of
good will being stirred by the thanks
going to everybody, there began to be
muttered cries through the auditorium
against the diScordant note that
Kaempher was sounding in the pro-
ceedings.
Some OF these murmurs became
more audible and then the department
guards went into action and the New
Yorker was escorted down the hall.
The conferees then turned their at
tention to Mr.. Shafer, who bobbed up
in Mr.. Kaempher's place, literally dec
Grated with signs. AS photographers

HOME BUILDING
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
F. H. |. B. Cites Increased
Demands for Loans and
Fewer Foreclosures.

Many most encouraging" factors
are noted in the outlook for new home
building during the autumn and early
winter, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board reported today.
Demand for home loans from saw
ings and loan associations remains ex-
cellent as summer weather wanes;
home building continues at q healthy
pace: urban foreclosures are decreas-
ingly rapidly in volume; lending in
situations report sharp drop in real
estate held properties they had &C
quired through foreclosure).
There are some other factors which
are not so encouraging, such as an in
crease in building costs, both materials
and labor, but these factors have had
no important bearing on the general
home building and financing trend as
yet, it was stated. It is hoped here
that the usual seasonal declines in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-09-24

construction and financing will tend
to be less than usual owing to the
trend.
A report compiled for the board by
Its Division Of Research and Statistics
shows that home foreclosures in cities
and towns In the United States dur
ing July declined 149 per cent from
the June figure and 30.7 per cent be-
low foreclosures for July, 1887. The
decline has been steady for many
months, but this was an exceptionally
substantial decrease. Total urban fore
closures were estimated at 9,144 for
July.

The drop in foreclosures was nation

the fact that decreases were reported

were reported for IL States and there
was no change for three States.

with its increased attendance was
well represented at the regular
morning service. We urge the par

with their children, and encourage
them in the splendid work that
they are doing in their classes.
Rev. London preached a very in
spirational sermon, and everybody
gained inspiration from it. Fol-
lowing the sermon class meeting
was held in which everybody took
part. One of the greatest attrac-
tons of the morning services has
been the revival of the class meet
ing. Many persons have expressed
their approval of this action.
At 800 p. m. the Eastern Star
Lodge held a very impressive and
beautiful ceremony at which Rev.
London delivered the annual SER
mon, and the choir sang. Their eff
forts were well received. Sunday
afternoon, June 18th, at 300 p. M,
the Junior Choir will make its first
appearance in public by appearing
on the Children's Day program. We
urge all members and friends to
come out and encourage the young
people at this, their service.

MRS. ALBRIGHT'S W.P.A.
CLASS PRESENTS
MUSICAL

One can readily see why the
W.P.A. Adult Education recalled
Mrs. Ann Colby Albright to her
duties, with such a display of 10y
atty, cooperation and accomplish
ment as was shown at the Irving
School Monday, when all of Mrs.
Albright's classes were represented
in a combined musical. The pro-
gram opened with a comedy which
was under the direction of the
Dramatic Class in W.P.A. Adult
Education.
The theme of the musical was
written by Mrs. Albright. 1t por-
trayed the memories of a mother,
who was telling the story of her
life to her children. During the
course of events she carried them
back to her childhood days in which
was the singing of Croatian folk
songs and Negro Spirituals. There
were other choruses, in all there
were about seventy voices.
The climax came with the Bridal
scene, which represented the
mothers own wedding. There
were eight bridesmaids and one
maid-of-honor, two flower girls,
the ring-bearer and the bride in
white satin and tulle veil, besides
the best man and ushers. After
the wedding procession reached the
stage one young lady sang 81 Love
You Truly" another young lady
and young man each sang a verse
of Memories" and the rest of the
group joined in the chorus. Just
before the musical Mrs. Albright
was presented to the audience and
was given a corsage of white roses
and violets and a beautiful black
patent leather purse, a gift from
all her students. The Irving School
auditorium was filled to capacity.
