AVAL LEADER SAYS JAPAN IS PREPARED 5 10 DEFEND HERSELF {Mice Admiral of Fleet Is Suspl- otous of Americans Visit- Ing Empire Tokyo, Jan. 12—(%}—Japan must prepare and is preparing to defend herself against what appears to be “America’s policy of encircling Japan ‘by every possible means,” said a pub- lished statement attributed Friday to ‘Vice Admiral Nobumasa Suetsugu, commander of the navy'’s combined fleets. The statement was made in an in- terview published in the widely culated monthly magazine, Gend: Instances of encirclement, the in- terview cited, were Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s leisurely flight along the Kuriles in the summer of 1931 and Harold Bromley’s abortive attempt to fly the Pacific in 1930, “I may be mistaken, but I think it is possible they were spying in those islands,” the admiral was quoting as saying. “Some time ago, an American lieu- tenant hopped off from Japan on an alleged trans-Pacific flight attempt end turned back after we don’t know haat I think failure was purposeful.’ (This reference obviously was the trast Atala attempt of September 14, .)- “Then Lindbergh stayed in the Kur- files over a week on excuse of bad weather. The length of his stay is grounds for suspicion. “Today, Americans are surveying the Aleutian Islands on a great scale —using cutters, airplanes and the tele- graph corps. “I think this means an American policy to surround Japan with every possible means in the event of war be- fore the clash of the main fleets.” A naval spokesman asserted that it was highly doubtful the Gendai inter- view had correctly quoted Admiral Suetsugu and said the matter would be investigated.

Jan, 12. — You travel the country over. You hear much said about money. But you never hear a word about the moral aspect of going off the gold standard until you get to New England. Here the government's repudiation of its promise to pay in gold was a profound shock, not only to readers of the Boston Transcript, who write in- dignantly that “there are such things as honor and honesty,” but to almost everyone of any substance. Bankers tell you of this initial shock, the tremors from which still can be felt, months afterward. Then they tell you that it began to subside as soon as people found that as a Practical matter of their daily life it made little or no difference. Savings at High Mark It is not for nothing that New Eng- Jand is insurance and mutual savings bank headquarters for the nation. Mutual savings bank deposits in Mas- sachusetts are almost as high as they were in 1929, and never declined much even during the banking holiday. In Springfield they amount to an average of $553.53 for every man, woman and child in the city. So Money is important here in a way that it is not important in Fort Worth, Texas, for example, and the distrust of monetary tinkering is seen Many gard the unstable dollar as “the of a solemn pledge” repudiation A group of Yale economists re- cently protested present policies in the gravest terms, saying that only a return to gold and stability can save us, Fears Mostly Imaginary Yet a well-known banker here con- fessed to me that if people didn’t keep up with world events in the newspapers, they never would know the difference in the practical use of t ltheir money. i { | & gulf port to a New England mill just. cheap southern labor.

W. L. Carter, chairman of the coun- cil’s industrial committee, has said. that “We note a growing acceptance of the Recovery Act as the new rules of the game, and recognition of the fact that increased costs due to the code’s operation may be offset in va- rious ways without reducing wages or salaries or seriously increasing prices.” Shoe Industry Benefits That is perhaps what Ernest G. Wheeler, president of the Springfield National Bank, meant when he told me that “The leaders have learned to do their job better in these last few years.” The shoe industry, also a bene- i NRA compliance here was in gen- eral willing, Carlos B, Ellis, com- Pliance chairman, told me. One evil condition was allowed to continue temporarily. A manufacturer had women working in their homes stitching doll dresses at 22 cents a dozen dresses. They couldn't earn a living wage at that rate, but the employer had not signed the blanket code, and there was no way to get at him. Question- ed, he proved that this work was un- der contract for the Christmas trade at a figure which would permit no higher rate of pay.

This year, the “Train of Hardware Pro- gress” will take the 1934 wholesale house to the retailers in the territory. Manufacturers declare that this year will be marked by many new products as a means of stimulating retail hardware business, and it is with the idea of rating fully with the local merchants on the eve of what wholesalers and manufactur- ers believe is the beginning of a re- vival of trade that this train is being operated. ‘The train has been set up at Duluth Ne It will leave over the Pacific line at 8:30 a. m., Sunday, Jan. 14, with the first stop at Brainerd. . ‘The itinerary of the train in North Dakota includes: Fargo, 6:40 p. m., Sunday, Jan. 14, to 3:30 p. m.

Discovery of the foreign shipment learing the NRA insignia was dis: closed in a telegram sent by Arch E. Ekdale, attorney for the Califorina Fish Canners association, to Walter White, Washington NRA executive. It read: “Japanese vessel Tatsuta Maru landed nearly 4,000 cases Japanese canned tuna, consigned in part to Samuel Kunin and Sons, Chicago, ar- riving Chicago 15th inst. Each case bears « large NRA insignia. Does ad- ministration sanction? Have photo and affidavit for proof.” Ekdale was not prepared to say when the insignia were put on the cases, The shipments was landed last Friday but it was not until Tuesday that the emblem-stamped cases were noticed. The Canners’ association seeks an embargo on Japanese tune in place of the 45 per cent ad valorem tax. Ekdale pointed out that in the first nine months of 1933 about 600,000 cases were imported and that the American surplus was approximately that amount.
