MORE DIFFICULT
AS II grew increasingly diff
cult for tie Japanese-despite
bayonct persuasion - to pass
their stage money they invent
ed new twist.
Puppet Chinese governments
popped up in Tientsin, Peiping,
and Marking and proclaimed the
establishment of banks Of issue
which promptly produced imita-
ton Chinese bills, printed in
Japan.
Proclamations decreed that
all bills issued by the Chinese
nationalist (Chiang Kai-Shek)
government must 1t converted
into the new puppet currency.
Any not turned in by a set date
were declared worthless and
their acceptance a criminal Of
Tense.
With the valid Chinese bills
obtained through that trickery
the Japan csc Immediately
bought Americ dollars, Brit
ish pounds, French francs. Or
any other foreign currency with
which they could Lurchsse sup
plies in world trade, regardless
of the exchange rate.
That ''bear" yaiding was
major factor in cheapening Chi
nese currency until one Chinese
dollar was worth only five or six
American cents. It was stabilized
at that crash rate only
through American and British
support.
The Chinese were left holding
the bag with paper notes no
more valuablet than the "joss"
money which they burn on fes-
tival days to propitiate their an
chcstors and their gods-for not
even the Japanese would take

WASN'T ITO Jan. 7-(P)
The Japanese are repeating
in the Philippines the footing
methods they developed in
China-equipping their troops
with carpet bags" literally
stuffed with stage money.
From those carpet bags" in
every town and village the Japa-
nese swept through in China
came an endless flow of paper
money not worth the poor quail
ity paper on which 1t was
printed.
With those scraps of paper the
Japanese created a bayonet-
pointed initiation robbed the
Chinese of million of dollars
and stripped the country of p.ac-
tically all movable property or
produce. BY setting up special
banks to print more bogus
money they sought to wreck the
entire Chinese financial struc-
ture.
General Macarthur disclosed
in communique No. 48 that in
vading Japanese troops are cir
culating large quantities Of pa
per money initiating the color
and texture of Philippine cur
rency but substituting the Japa-
nese government for the COM
monwealth government as the
issL ing agency.
AN OLD STORY
That's an old story to the Chi
nese.
Every japanese soldier who
shot or dubbed his way into
Chinese territory was paid in
special military script" good
only in the cities and towns and
countryside he helped conquer.
Chinese who refused the spuri-
Gus currency the first time had
it offered to them the next time
at the point of bayonet or
rifle.
Japanese arp t-b g ers
flocked to China in the wake of
the japanese invading armies
with bales of phoney money or
restricted yen notes. With it they
bought all available rice, tin and
other vital. needed metals, silk,
linen. antiques, cotton, food
stuffs-everythinc that could be
consumed or shipped away to
their impoverished little islands
regardless of whether the Chi
nese or foreign producers, mid
dlemen or agents wanted to sell
for scrap paper.
USED FOR FOOD
In this method the Japanese
army was largely fed and
clothed on the countryside 1t
conquered.
At japanese press confer
encc in Shanghai the Japanese
spokesman, questioned concern
ing the avalanche OF fake cur
fency, vociferously protested it
was perfectly good money and
offered to prove 1t by making
purchases in the company of
several American correspond
ents.
Despite his rank. this Japanese

turned down fatty by three

 All you high-heeled shoppers and women wearing stilts while working at home-why do you do 1t? Maybe fashion persuaded you to it.
 Well here's notice Fashion is fast making high heels, except with full dress, passe. For in- stance; every model in daytime outfit, at one of the style setting openings of New York's famous dress houses, wore low heels. There were plenty of oxfords, with heels both low and broad.
 And that's what 1t takes, first of all, for good posture. And you know posture, the beginning of beauty.
 When you shift to low heels you may feel 1t for few days in your legs. Don't let that trouble you. It will pass, unless you've some thing wrong which requires med- ical attention. And when you're used to low heels you will wonder why you ever wore high ones for working.
 You should do this one bit of posture-practice necessary to gain superior standing walking habits. It pays out in charm and the joy of feeling well.
 Stand with heels about three inches away from wall, feet to- gether, knees slightly bent. Touch head and spine to the wall by pulling stomach and diaphragm in and up. Relax and repeat. DO this several times.
