The new, streamlined short form
of accounting dramatically re-
interprets the modern corporation
as a cooperative agency for util-
izing popular savings TO provide
better tools to enable workers to
earn more while providing better
values in products for customers.
The new classification OF ac-
counts tends to get away from
economic chques and to photo
graph the realities of the business
world.
Applying these new concepts TO
the accounts of Continental Can
Company, earle c. Conway, the
chairman, points out:
"If we assume that each stock
holder has an equal number of
shares, we find that IL takes the
accumulated savings of approx
mately three people, who have
invested more than $4,000 apiece,
or a total of about $500, to
serve one customer. This, i'm
turn, necessitates the employ
ment of about 1.3 people"

NAVY SECRETARY MAKES HIS REPORT ON SUDDEN
 JAPAN ATTACK ON HAWAII

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - Late yesterday afternoon, Secretary of Navy Frank Knox reported the bat tleship Arizona and five other war craft were sunk in the surprise Japanese air raid on Pearl Har- bor On Sunday, December T. He also said 91 officers and 2,638 en- listed men are known to be dead.
 The known Japanese losses, Sec retary Knox said, included three submarines and fl aircraft.
 American Ship Losses
 After making his report to Pres ident Roosevelt, on his return from hurried five-day trip to make a survey first hand on the effect of the Japanese air raid Secretary Knox told the newsmen at con- ference that aside from the Ari- zona, the American ships destroyed in the air raid included the old target ship Utah, three destroyers, the Cassin, Downes and Shaw, also the mine layer Oglala,
 Damaged Vessel
 The damaged vessels included the old battleship Oklahoma, which capsized but can be repaired
 The entire balance of the fleet with it's aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers. destroyers and submarines was not injured as all were at sea seeking to con- tact the enemy" said Knox.
 The Navy Secretary, quickly an- swering a questioner, said that the fleet included battleships as we'll Japs Fail in Purpose
 The Navy Secretary said: "The Japanese failed in their purpose to knock out the United States be- fore the war began"
 Secretary Knox said flatly the United States Service was not on the alert against a surprise air at tack He stated a formal investi- gation will be instituted by the President immediately and in the meantime, Knox said, there will be no changes in the command.
 Taking part in the Japanese att tack, Secretary Knox said it was revealed two-man submarines were in operation.
 Further Casualties
 Secretary Knox said that besides those killed in the air raid, 20 of ficers and 6,O36 enlisted men were wounded. The radio went dead, Knox explained, because some of the ships rolled over,

Nippons Apparently Sung on Attempts at h.
 vasion on Pacific NO NEW LANDINGS
 REPORTED TODAY Offensive Respite May Mean Preparations for
 New Assault

MANILA, Dec. 16,-Badly stung in attempts to invade the Ameri- can defended Philippines, Japan apparently has slackened her drive against the Luzon Islands.
 The official war communique says Japan's assault on the Philippines has slacked off to an air attack on Olongapo, the naval base north east of Manila Bay but the defense forces regard this slack" as only a temporary respite. although there is no official Explanation.
 Most of the observers here said the letup probably meant the Jap anese are moving additional forces and supplies to position off the island coast, resting pilots, over hauling planes, marshalling gaso- line, bombs and ammunition for new and powerful attacks.
 The statement made by Secre- tary of Navy Knox that the Unit ed States Fleet was out seeking the enemy on the Pacific when the attack was made on Hawaii creat- ed an enthusiastic furore among Manila's civilians but members of the armed forces here took the statement calmly and the general reaction was summed up in the words: We knew they'd go mo action in time.'

 In London, Major Attlee, Lord Privy Seal, told Parliament that "all necessary steps" are being talk en to coordinate the military plans of Britain, Russia and the United States.
 In Canberra, Australia's Foreign Minister Evatt disclosed that his country is working flor full al- lance with Russia as an enemy of Japan. If and when the military situation becomes stabilized to Rus sia's advantage, we can reasonably look forward to her aid against Japan.
 "Japan's ultimate design against Russia hardly can be concealed. In the long run it will be to Russia's advantage to dispose once and for all of the Japanese threat to Vladi- vostok and Eastern Siberia

WASHING GTON-The storm of criticism over the Navy's tragic failure at Hawaii broke privately, and before the public knew any details, at the Presidents Sunday night session with Cabinet and congressional chiefs.
 Senator Tom Connally of Texas, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, was particularly insis- tent in asking blunt questions as to why our forces were caught unpre- pared.
 As the Cabinet and congressional advisers filed into the large red room on the second floor of the White House, the President greeted them grinnly, saying he supposed they had all been listening to the radio reports and knew what had happened; that there was little to add except to say, of course, that he would ask Congress to declare war.
 But MT. President" spoke up Connally, what in the world was wrong with our forces at Hawaii? Apparently they weren't on the job. How did they get caught like that?"
 The President replied he was un- able to answer, as complete reports had not been received, but on the basis of reports which had come in, the damage to manpower and equipment was pretty heavy.
 Pressed by Connally for details, the President said that on the basis of information received up to then, at least one battleship and one de- stroyer had been sunk and about l,500 killed.
 Its amazing to me that our Army and Navy forces weren't pre- pared for an attack" said Con- nally. T can't understand how that
