ending June "a, 1899, based on tele-
graphic reports received from q
representative group Of transit
operating companies, showed q
moderate increase from last year.

Gator stands at 104.84, which repre-
sents a gain of 484 per cent from the
corresponding week in 1888.
For the week ending June II, 1889,
the indicator was 10407.
The indicator figure for the latest

good business activity throughout
the country, and partly to the low

Pattern Is Clear.
The pattern of Federal Govern
ment is steadily forming into one
which adds to the security of the
individual and the lessening of risk
by the corporation or institution.
This began during the Hoover adj
ministration in the loan to corpora
tons and banks by the r. r. C..
It was extended after 1888 in the
guaranty of bank deposits and in
the salvaging of home owners whose
mortgages were threatened.
In one way and another it had
steadily expanded to cover numer-
Gus producers Of farm products,
workers of nearly every type, those
who lend their money in housing
operations and in certain forms of
commercial engagements and is fast
spreading to the sick, the injured
and the INDECENT. Old age and re-
tirement pensions will increase in
number and in amount of disburse-
ments.
1t is of little avail to attempt q
check on this process of socializa-
ton, for the momentum of it is ire
mendous and gaining strength. Con-
sequently, we cannot 60 on think
ing of national debts and Federal
and State taxes in terms of those
prevailing a decade ago.
On the other hand we can and
must remove all sources of waste,
and at the same time, build up q
tax system that will compel from
those who are able to afford 1t q
snare IN the cost Of Government.

ConsuIotes Damaged
In Raid on Chunqkinq

CHUNGKING, Aug. R.-The
French and German consulates were
damaged early today as Japanese
warplanes raided the city.
Demolition bombs exploded in the
compounds of the two consulates,
shattering windows and splattering
ceilings with fragments.
Ten Chinese were killed in the
foreign area. They had left the
strictly Chinese quarted of the city
for supposed safety under the swas-
tika and tricolor.
The United States Embassy was
not harmed, but the residence of F.
Tillman Durdin of Fort Worth, Tex,
a correspondent of the New York
Times, was ruined by bomb concus-
sion.
Other residential buildings in the
area were destroyed by fires started
by the bombs. The flames were
brought under control after day
break.
Casualties throughout the city
were not heavy, probably under 80,
as the raiders concentrated their at
tention upon the suburbs. One
Japanese bomber was shot down.

Chamberlain Purpose
In Warning Seen 10
Force Toxic Accord
Effect May Also Be to
Deter Closer Jopohese
Link With Axis
Nv DEWITT MACKENZIE,

Associated Press Foreign Affairs Writer.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-British
Premier Chamberlain's sensational
warning to Japan today in discuss
ing the grave Anglo-Japanese differ
ences relating to China, may be
taken as calculated to influence both
the Far Eastern and the European
crises.
That is to say, Mr.. Chamberlain
undoubtedly was talking not only to
Japan, but to the Berlin-Rome axis
when he declared that England
might find it necessary. to send a
fleet to the Far East 'in certain cir
cumstanceS" "a blunt statement
which he softened bit by saying it
was uttered not "as threat, but
only as a warning"
Reaction i'm Two Other Directions.
While one purpose of the Premiers
statement obviously was to force a
settlement of the Anglo-JapaneSe
difficulties by negotiation, it likely
will react-and probably was in
tended to react-in at least two
other directions.
/ 1t might act as a strong deter
rent to Japan as she enters her
conversations with the Berlin-Ro
axis involving a possible military
alliance between Nippon and the
axis England naturally would like
to prevent such a pact, which would
tend to increase the threat to peace,
q The Premier's declaration was
intended as a studied display of
determination on Britain'S part. He
wanted to advertise that Britain
would employ force, beyond a GER
tain point. His declaration there
fore YVES so strong that it falls little
short of fiat threat, fact which
he recognized when he made his
qualification.
May Steady European Situation.
This show OF strength may tend
to steady the European situation by
convincing the axis powers that Eng
land really means business. A lot
of officials in Berlin and Rome have
been saying that Britain wouldn't
fight. Anthony Eden. former British
foreign minister. said the other day
that there will be no war" if Ger
many and Italy can be convinced of
the true temper" of the British.
Mr.. Chamberlain's statement in
Commons is intended to be a display
of the true temper" of the British.
1t is deliberately strong enough to
attract attention.
1t may indeed provide the. neces-
sary background for further ges-
ture of "appeasement' by Mr.
Chamberlain to Herr Hitler, that is,
an offer of settlement of their differ
ences by negotiation. This is
possibility.
