WAR IN RUSSIA FURTHER CUTS

DY ENODGAHA Ae A8ASAAAfAAAAAN United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Toyko, July 28--Japan faces new and unprecedented economic hard ships as a result of the Russo German war which has virtually isolated Japan from Europe eco- 1lomically, and has confronted the nation with new difficulties in ob- taining raw materials.
 The Asahi ShiHnbun, a conserva- tive and influential Tokyo news paper, reported that Jpanese finan- cial leaders were advising the gov- ernment to re-examine its recently drafted plans to convert Japan into national defense state" because the conflict between Russia and Germany had made the original program impractical.
 Asahi said that even before the outbreak of the Russo German war Japanese raw material short- ages were forcing factories to close down on reduce opertions.
 Greater Conservation Seen
 Financial quarters predict that the new economic problems now facing Japan will result inevitably in stricter conservation of raw materials.
 Japanese business leaders see little hope of offsetting the loss of Euro peall trade by a corresponding irl- crease in trade with the United States, and are pointing out that the United States has been curtail. ing exports of vital materials due to American rearmarnent effort.
 On top of this, 1t is expected that the United States now will begin diverting supplies to Ruscia ano further curtail exports to Japan. German Machinery Halted
 Japanese importations of ma. chinery from Germany fell of sharply after the outbreak of tht European war. Some machinery wai deliverde to Japan via the Trans. Siberian railway, but Japanese trade were limited. However, now Japar papers assert that the shipments faces complete isolation from Ger many.
 Industrial circles advocate a re- adjustment of the nations economic planning program under which the country would concentrate on in- duotries which can be supplied raw materials from the Far East
 This aim undoubtedly might lead eventually to opening trade negotia- tions with the Dutch East Indies.
 However, the immediate prospects indicate that Japan will be driven more and more into the confines of the yen bloc.

N~~"~
 The 1941 Legislature authorized the city to issue $2,oo0,00o in water bonds. It is expected that construc- ton of the city's new reservoir at Morris will demand sale of the re- maining bonds, but as is the cus- tom of the Scully administration, the bonds will not be issued until the money is actually needed for construction work.
 The Notation will be used for fin- ancing the construction of the new pipe line from Morris. Actual work on the project is already under way, and the Lock Joint Pipe Go. of Anpere, N. J., which successful ly bid for the contract, has begun the building of a concrete pipe casting plant on Freight street, ad- jacent to the American Brass ma chine shop.
 Plans for the new structure call for an office and a casting shop, in which the large concrete pipe sec- tions will be made. The plant will be 40 by 60 feet, with 20-foot underground section. It is expected that pipe will be turned out by September l.
 The city has on hand l,400 feet of cast iron pipe, which will be laid near the tunnel already built between Watertown and the Mor- ris reservoirs. Besides this, the city has an order with the U. s. Cast Iron Pipe Go. for additional pipe to be used on the Waterbury end of the line. Shipment from the Bur- lington, N. J. plant is expected in the near future.
 Deadline for the completion oi the sorely-needed pipeline is set at June, 1942, but city officials have expressed confidence that the work will be done well in advance of the deadline.
