JAPANESE INCREASE IN ARMS PUZZLING Land and Sea Forces Get About 100,000,000 Yen More Each for 1933-34. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Official quarters are puzzied as to the reason of the enormous increase in the Japanese budget, especially in regard the chapters concerning the army d navy. While every nation represented at QGeneva, expresses its more or less sin- cerc desire to reduce arms and arma- ments, Japan, which is admittedly in a difficult financial situation, has chosen this year of “good-will conferences” to increase its army budget for the year 1033-1934 by close to 100,000,000 yen and an approximately similar amount for the navy, both services costing that country close to a billion yen. These sums translated into dollars, at the present low rate of exchange of the Japanese currency, represent a com- gurluvely cmall amount. But it must e remembered that in Japan the yen has still its original purchase value, which is not much lower than the valu: ©of the dollar in the United States. Navy Increase Purzling. And while there can be certain lausible exp'anations as to why the dget of the amy has ben so consider- ably increascd, it is difficult to figure out the reason for this important in- crease in the budget of the Japanese navy department. The relations be- tween Japan and the other powers ars labelei in diplomatic language as friendly. According to the diplomatic dictionary, ths Manchurian and the Shanghai military expenditures are con- sidered as “incicents,” since diplomatic relations between Japan and China have not been broken off. According to the same cictionary, even the battles which occur today between Bolivia and Paraguay are not termed actions of war. They are called frictions. And Japan has so far not reached even the stag: of “friction” with any of the neighbor- ing powers. But it seems that the military have & different opinion from the diplomats, and want to be fully prepared for any Iriction that may occur in the course of the coming years. The Japanese budget has no: been passed without a good deal of friction between the war minister end the secretary of the treasury. Not only did Gen. Araki want & substantial increase in the budget of the war department, but he also in- sisted on forcing his point of view as to how the inevitable deficit should be met. He opposed the wishes of the finence minister, who asked for a bond issue, and demanded new taxations to te taken from the Japanese capitalists. A compromise was reached in the end whereby the war minister obtained his increasc—about 100,000,000 yen less Scene at Seventh and I streets last Board of District Ccmmissioners OFFICIAL UPHOLDS CREDIT OF CHICAGO Treasurer Says City Will Be! Ail Right When Taxes Are Paid. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 26.—Is Chicago broke? No, City Treasurer James A. Kearns answered yesterday. And its credit, he insisted, ranks with the best of the great cities of the country. Father Dearborn, he pointed out, has gone 99 years without & default in in- | terest or principal of municipal bonds. | He has plenty of bills collectable—from taxpayers—and owns nearly half a bil- lion dollars worth of unencumbered property. than he actually demanded—and the finance minister had his way as to how to raise this money. Item Is for 150,000,000 Yen. That the war minister does not want to be caught unawares can be seen from the fact that in the new budget the item “material replenishment” con- tains no less than 150,000,000 yen, while the expenses in Manchuria do not exceed the sum of 120,000,000 yen. But while it is comprehensible for the Japanese minister of war to be prepared for trouble in Manchuria, where the opposition of the Chinese rregulars is giving him a good deal of ‘worry, the naval preparations of Ja] are not less than astounding. Every power signatory of the London naval treaty has made apparent efforts to keep down naval expenditure, and es- new naval construction. Since m November we have had an extended naval! construction holidsy. Japan has adhered to the naval boliday, but has taken advintage of the clause that vessels under consiruction should be terminated. On and sbove of what Japan has had in 1930, when the naval agree- ment was signed, that country has at present under constructicn 2 8,500-ton cruisers, 1 1,600-ton airplane carrier, 7 destroyers of 1,700 tons each and 4 submarines of a tonnage of from 1,400 to 1,700 tons each. These Vessels are sll 50 to 75 per cent completed. New Vessels Planned. According to the latest Japanese naval estimate, which requires an in- creese of approximately 100,000,000 yen, the Jaiinese government intends to Put on the lips the following war yes-| gels: One cirplane carrier, 2 cruisers of 8,500 tons each, T destroyers of 1,400 tons each and 6 submarines of about 1,000 tons each. In addition to this force the Japanese Navy plans to or- @anize 5 new air squadrons. All this expenditure is being made on the grounds that international rela- tions at present do not permit the lightest delay in replen naval rmaments, and the minister of finance, well aware of this being the case, has reluctantly agreed to give the armed services the necessary monies, even though the Japanese national debt has increased by 378,000,000 yen last year. ‘Never before, not even & the World War has the increase of the national debt of Japan reached such an impor- tant figure.

Slayer of Athlete Sought. JUAREZ, Mex., Novembe: 26 (#).— Police today sought the slayer of Jesus (Pingo) Euran, 26, star Juaraz base ball pitcher, who was ambushed near the reilroad station last night and shot twice in the back of the head. Citizens Pay Slowly. The payless pay days for munizipal employes—the firemen, policemen and others—have been brought on by slow- ness of citizens in paying their taxes, Kearns said, but they have not affected Chicago's repute as a prompt debtor to its bondholders. The teachers are not municipal l‘m})loyes, but are pald by the Board of Education, a ceparate taxing body. Chicago has outstanding, according to Kearns, $136,147,400 in long-term in- debtedness bonds—a_meager amount compared with New York’s $1,831,356,- 246 as of November 1. This city, Kearns added, has an unexercised bonding power of $36,800,000, which could be used on a basis of current valuations. Warrants, issued in anticipation of taxes to be collected, have figured heavily in accounts of Chicago’s alleged warrants now in the hands of the pub- gso including bankers, is only $18,504,- The “why” of these warrants is famil- iar to those who haye read of Chicago's recent pecuniary embarrassments. They were issued following a reassessment first. ordered in 1928, which was not completed for two years, thereby de- laying the inflow of tax receipts. Since then many taxpayers have been behind in their payments to the city, county and State and other warrants had to be sold to provide funds. Warrants Are Liens. “The waramnts are liens directly upon taxes and will be liquidated as soon as the tax money is received,” Kearns said. “We expect to be fully caught up, wit all warrants redeemed, in three years. “Not so very long ago Chicago hed | more money than it knew what to do with—nearly $100,000,000 in fact. We bought our own warrants. Today we| have $98,400,000 in the treasury. This| is in trust funds, traction funds and | sinking funds. We have bought $89,- 700,000 of our own warrants and secur- ities with some of this money to keep them off the market.” Recently city officials estimated that 61 per cent of the delinquent taxes of Coak County were owed on pleces of prgxtlumy valued at more than $500,000 ea “The owners of such are not going to let them be sold for taxes,” Kearns said. “It is too valuable.” When the taxes are paid Chicago will receive its share along with Cook mental units, some of which are not so favorably situated as the city, Kearns said.

By Cable to The Star. MOSCOW, November 26.—Transpor- tation is once again revealed as the weakest link of the Soviet economic system. Figures for the first 10 months 0° 1932 show that no other factor has done more to slacken the pace of the five-year plan than the failure of the railways to expand their operation in accordance with the program. Produc- tion of new freight cars in 1932 will be only about half of what was planned and freight car loadings for 10 months arc less than 2 per cent greater than they were for a like period in 1931. October loadings were actually 3,000 cars less than the same month in 1931. This is true in face of the fact that figures rccently published show that |during 10 months pig iron production :.!;‘Crcnsed more than 20 per cent over € production increased 11 per cent and coal 16 per cent. Because of chaos in the transportation system, this increased production can be only partly effective. Production, especially of gocds, can contribute to the economic advance cnly if the goods can be moved to points whereat they are needed. Bunch Up at Stations. Za Industrializatsia says: “The turn- over in freight cars is unbearably slow, in part because trains fail to keep schedule and tend to bunch up at sta- tions.” 1In this respect, this journal states, the situation is worse than last year. The commissariat of communica- tlons is now sending out special shock brigades charged with the duty of speeding up loading and unloading ars. Preight traffic is slowed down in no small degree because passenger traffic has increased so rapidly since the revo- lution. At most stations tickets are obtainable only a day or two in ad- vance of the departure of trains. The big industrial labor turnover, due in part to unfavorable living conditions, is partly responsible for the inflated pas- senger traffic. Difficult living conditions in the Ukraine and other agricultural areas in the past year, resulting in peasant migrations, are aiso a contribut- ing factor. Roadbeds Are Poor. ‘The roadbeds of some of the Soviet rail lines are in bad condition. Re- cently on a railway journey this corre- spondent lost the greater part of a night's sleep simply becausez he w bounced about so much in the berth. Passengers in all the other cars on the train experienced similar difficulties in slumber. It is obvious that Soviet industrial production cannot advance at a rate much faster than that of expansion of the transportation system. Recent ex- perience indicates that improvement in the country's railways is to be a rela- tively slow process. Completion of the projected lines from Donbas to Moscow would greatly assist the coal industry, since Donbas is in the principal coal- producing region. Over a long period the transportation system will experi- ence difficulty in providing sufficient rolling stock to meet the need of the new industrial glants, such as Magni- togorsk and Kuznetzstroy.

KANSAS CITY, November 26 (#)— “If Santa can do it, 50 can we,” may have been the reascning of rcbbers who entered three shops from their roofs here early today.

NTICIPATION pervadsd the atmosphere in Constiution Hall last evening where a very special audiénce gathered to welecome Lucrezia Borl again t> this city. The remembrance of her beautiful singing has often in- truded into other recitals with the wpersistency of a haunting perfume that conjures.up certain hippy mo- ments and the anticipation of hear- ing it again a5 well as any new em- bellishment her thres years of ab- sence may have added, brought cut usizstic cudience. So the music2l season of Wach- ington has been in the hands of the masculine exponemts of the art and ex- cellently they have done their share in giving the very bect. However, there is one territory they can never invade and where they have no power and in which the femi- nant e'ement has everything its own way— the domain of charm. There is 10 one in whom this quality is so superabundant es in Lucrezia Bori, the first woman to appear in recital this Winter. The charm of her singing and the charm of her perscnelity are cf almost equal im- portance, Simply dressed in white, she made an attractive picture a3 she began to sing. In a variegated group of songs in clas:ical strain, her voice showed its clear, bell quality There was nothing heavy or sad or dra- mstic in what she sang but dclicate, fairy artistry that sketched her pic- tures with dainty touch. One wished she might have uced more substan- tial numbers especially in the Eng- lish group in which to ditplay her fine artistic sense for in the encore she gave, “Reve de la Vierge” by Massenet there was depth of feeling that made one long for more. In certain upper portions of her voice there is a haunting quality and a smoothness of emission that com- pen:ates for lack of color in the lower register. The last half of the program, given in costume, enchanted the audience with the opportunity it of- fered for her delightful mimicry. Small gestures and expressive facile play brought out the coquettry of a little peasant girl in the charming “Jean fe ment pas” (Arnaud) and Wecherlin's “Menuet de martini,” and proved her a diseuse of unique ability. A burst of applause greeted the lovely picture she made in a red and white Spanish costume and she sang her native songs with ravishing effect. The “Cruz de Mayo,” by Font, which she finished with a dainty dance, enthused the audience to the highest pitch and they were not content until she added several encores to continue the picturesque effect. Frederick Bristol, who proved an ideal accompanist, proved also his talent as a soloist in two groups of interesting numbers. He has not cnly an easy technic, but keen in- Lucrezia Borl, Program of Dances Given By Liza Gardiner Dancers. IZA GARDINER and her dancers, with Michael Nicho- loff, were presented by the Central Community Center last evening in the Central High School auditorium before a large and enthusiastic audience. The enthusiasm was well deserved, for the various numbers were artistic and finished, the ensemble never failing to make a pretty picture, and the group, work being smooth and without hesitation. The program opened with a pan- tomime, “Love, the Magiclan,” after the story by Martinez Sierra, to music by de Falla, The expressicns of Liza Gardiner as Candelas, Harry Welker as the Ghost, and Betty Yoder as Carmela did not leave the audience in doubt as to their mean- ing. A group of Chopin compositions followed and were dainty bits of rhythm on toes, Michael Nicholoff, guest artist, making his first ap- pearance on the program with Liza Gardiner in a waltz. Their work together is finished and graceful, as it was in their solos, and the “Mazurka,” danced by Betty Yoder, Frances Rands and Ann Vucinovich, was one of the charming numbers of the evening. The divertissments were varied, opening with Cyril Scott's “Lotus Land,” danced by the ensemble, which was well thought out in the forma- tion of groups and pictures, each in the group bringing out the rhythmn and carrying it to the fin- ish. Betty Yoder and Frances Rand danced Glazounow’s “Pirouette” in quaint costumes and were light and graceful throughout. Eda Vomacka and Christine Stew- art in Palmgren's “Tanagras” was one of the outstanding numbers of the evening, marking the rhythmn with the clinking of tiny bells at- tached to their fingers, and Alice Louise Hunter’s interpretation of Debussy’s “Madman” was a realistic bit of pantomime. Jane Dunscombe and Virginia Campbell gave a remarkable display of rhythmic motions in Ellington's “Moon Indigo,” which was & well developed “blue” music, nlfl Liza Gardiner and Michael Nicho- loff dashed off Groscman's “Czardas” with vigor and accentcd steps. The closing number was of two Mexican Indian dances by the en- semble and Liza which were done in true Indian fashion, with the strange steps and ti:c jumpe—$ ing, characteristic to the Indian as a race. ‘The costumes © o of the numbers ar - _much to the pictures presented. Edith H. Hunter was the accompanist, Harold Snyder had charge of lighting and stage effects and Bess Davis Schrel= ner was in charge of publicity. Those in the ensemble were Kitty Marie De Laney, Jeanne Densmore, Elizabeth Berkeley, Rosa Russell Mary Day, Helen Roberts, Helen Clark, Barbara Worrell, Esther ¢ Whited, Fillls Speich and Leils ; Gurley.
