Revenues Increase
For Bankrupt Utility,
Trustees Report
Consolidated Gross Of
Associated Cos Shown
As Sl42, 900, 900 in 1910

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. Trustees
of the bankrupt Associated Gas &
Electric Corp, reported today con-
solidated gross revenues we're Sl42,-
100000, an increase of ST per cent
over the s136,5OOOOO of the pre-
ceding year.
Available TO A. G. E. Corp. before
its expenses, was S12,600000. COM
pared with $l3,3O0.OO in 1899. Ex-
penses last year were S465,495
The figure for the expenses of
the rusteeship and A. G. z. Corp.
in 1910 - has very little sig
nificance," the report said. The
trustees we're not appointed until
March, and even at the end of the
year, several additions remained to
be made to complete their staff Or
ganization. The budget estimates
for 1941 indicate an expected cost
slightly in excess of $50 900 month,
over 10 per cent OF which consti-
tutes salaries, wages and allowances.
1T is futile to attempt to evalu-
ate this figure. Every effort has
been made to form an efficient, COM
petent, yet not extravagant organi-
zation. Much of its activity is per-
forming the normal functions of
management, the expense of which
must always be borne as some point.
The elimination of many of the
individuals who formerly provided
legal services placed heavy burden
on the new legal staff. but the
work was done at q greatly reduced
cost to the system.
Because of the variety Of re-
sponsibilities and duties placed on
the trustees, and the frequent
identification of the interest of A.
G.. E. Corp, with interests of various
other companies in the system, the
direct trusteeship charges are not
fairly measure of the cost of man
agement or of the reorganization.
And no satisfactory estimate can
be made of offsetting economies
accomplished during the year. sub
stantial as they are"

Observers See Move

PEIPING. Aug. IL (Pl.-Observers
in this North China gate to Man.
chukuo and Mongolia expressed con-
viction today that Japan's next
theater of action is more likely to
be Siberia than Thailand-and that
the blow may fall any day.
Gn Shanghai foreign military
sources agreed that Japan was
mobilizing a powerful striking
force in Manchukuo but usually
well informed quarters still be-
Geved Japan would act only II
European Russia seemed about to
collapse.
Informed quarters expressed belief
that August was the latest the Japa-
nese could expect to launch a CAM
paign into Eastern Siberia without
winter Stalemate
Reports coming in with travellers
from the northeast added up to
one thing: That something big was
going on in Manchukuo.
Massing of Troops.
Sitting the rumors, informed
quarters were convinced Japan
probably has amassed in Manchukuo
at least as many troops as the Rus
slams they would encounter in
Eastern Siberia.
The best available estimates were
that Russia still has normal
strength of 100000 electives in
Siberia, including some mechanical
units. while Japan probably has
doubled the normal Kwantung
army strength of $50 0,0OO-if not
trebled it, as some unconfrmed re-
ports indicated
Close analysts of japanese policy
held that the japanese move into
French Indo-China and reported
pressure on Thailand to join the
East Asiatic bloc were preliminary
side show to the main event, yet to
come.
They pointed out that Japan,
with two divisions in Indo- China,
hardly would be likely to challenge
the British to an actual test in
Thailand.
These sources expressed belief
that pressure on Thailand would
go just so far-short of war-and
Japan would consolidate her south
ern flank, then turn northward.
May Consolidate Hand.
Some of these quarters, especially
Chinese. said they believed Japan
now may think it best to consol1-
date her hand throughout Asia
wherever possible. This, they said,
would point toward an attack on
Siberia rather than creating further
conditions for a Southern Pacific
break with Britain if not with the
United States.
There were reports that Mitsuru
Toyama, head of Japan's famous
Black Dragon Society. and other in
fuential secret society leaders again
were putting pressure on the gov
ernment for a firmer national policy.
While opinion originally was that
Japan would await decisive defeat
of the Russian Army by the Ger
mans, it now was believed that she
has waited only to bring feverish
preparations throughout Japan.
Manchukuo and North China to
completion.
Numerous measures in North
China were taken to point to prepa-
ration to move large forces from
here if necessary. Virtual panic
dominated Chinese coolie laborers

on this situation. He replied that
he thought that was just what he
had been talking about and that
failure to understand repeated
warnings Of the threat to American
security must be the trouble.
Silent on Vichy.
The secretary refused any COM
ment on developments in Vichy,
where the French government re-
,portedly is considering new demands
from Germany for extended collab-
Grafton which might give the Nazis
foothold in Frances African ter

situation.
In respose to other queries. he
said there was no basis for published
reports that this Government had
informed Japan that orders freezing
Japanese funds here would be with
drawn If Japan withdrew from the
Axis and abandoned her aggressive
policy. He explained that, if anv
attempt to reach settlement with
Japan ever was taken up, it would
be on the basis of fundamentals in
line with principles for peaceful in
terna tlonal relationships long ago
laid down by this country.

Mr.. Hull referred to his statement
on the lease-lend bill before the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
January Is as amplifying his views
on the menace to American security
from the Axis nations, in which he
insisted that the United States
could not afford to relax it's defense

isolated conflicts, but with an or.

movement of steadily expanding
