Davis, District superin- tendent of insurance, addressed a meet- ing of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ | Association last night on protecting the investor from fraudulent securities. Reading from Senator Reed's bill regulating the sale of securities in the District, Mr. Davis explained the op- eration of fraudulent mortgage schemes and investment banking rackets. He said “reforms are never accomplished by herded groups, but by diligent, ag- gressive individuals.” The bill received the indorsement of the association. W. A. Roberts, assistant corporation counsel, also discussed the resolution, saying there was no need for new ma- chinery in gumng the plan into effect. Representative Harlan of Ohio, co- author of the bill, cited the bill's ad- vantages. The association adopted a resolution against the practice of employing day school teachers in the public night e posaibil e ity of paying taxes by the installment plan was cited in a resolution, and the Federation of Citi- zens' Assoclations and District Com- missioners will be asked to investigate the advisability of putting such a plan into operation here, Max Kohner, author of the resolu- tion, pointed out that the tax delin- &uflg for this year amounted to $4,- UPHAM URGES NAVY PERSONNEL INCREASE Navigation Bureau Chief Asks Four Academy Appointments for Congressmen. Advocating increased Navy personnel Rear Admiral Frank B. Uphlm. chief of the Bureau of Navigation, in his In- nual report today said reduction in officers’ salaries under the economy act “was a real hardship to all, and in the case of the retired list was tantamount to a confiscation of the earned capital.” He stressed the point that “a pay law based on cost of living in 1908 is in- adequate and out of date in 1932.” Admiral Upham recommended that instead of the present three appoint- ments to the Naval Academy permitted each Senator and Representative, there should be “not less than four, which would permit a maximum total of 2,743.” “It appears wise and Ymdem to pro- vide now for additional midshipmen,” he said, “the earliest of whom cannot be commissioned before 1937, to meet the needs of the London treaty Navy.

The rate of interest on the securities reflected the easy money ratrs now pre- valling and was said by officials to be the lowest on that class of securities in Tecent years. ‘The money derived from the sale will be used in paying $604,000,000 in one- year, 314 per cent notes which mature on December 15, and $100,000,000 inter- est on the public debt due that day. The Treasury notes will be dated De- cember 15, and mature on Decembe: 15, 1936, while the certificates will ma- ture on December 15, 1933. The notes and certificates will be exempt from all taxation, both as to principal and in- terest, except estate and inheritance taxes. Secretary Mills said subscriptions for the notes in which the maturing notes are offered in payment would be given preferred allotment up to not less than $210,000,000 and for the certificates, up to not less than $150,000,000.

GENEVA, December 7.—Spain joined | four other small nations today in de- | manding that the assembly of the qul of Nations accept the Lytton | report criticizing Japan's activity in Manchuria, while Switserland urged another attempt at conciliation. The Irish Free State, Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Norway launched a deter- mined move yesterday before the spe- cial assembly gathered here for firm application of the League covenant. They also demanded the factual basis of the Lytton report on Sino-Japanese differences be adopted as a basis of settlement. Accepts Lytton Report. Salvadore de Madariaga of Spain an: nounced that Spain accepted the Lyt. ton report both as to facts and con- clusions. The Lytton findings of fact held Japan did not act in self-defense in the Mukden incident at the start of hostilitles. The conclusions were that | Manchuria should remain a part of | China under special sovereignty. Madariaga said the League covenant would perish if the League permitted “Chinese Manchuria to become Japan- ese Manchukuo.” He asserted the Far Eastern difficulty was a conflict between the principle of national right and in- ternational right. “Permanent, historic Japan has a right to know we disagree with the present Japan,” the speaker said. World Needs Order. The Spanish delegate praised the League ideal as & “living thing which will immortalize the name of Woodrow Wilson,” and declared it introduced a moral factor into international politics. “The world has need of crder, but not the order of uniforms and soldiers,” he said. “Order—that is justice.” Giuseppe Motta of Switzerland pro- posed another attempt at conciliation be made by the Committee of Nineteen. He agreed the Lytton re&m on Japan's military ~ operations Manchuria showed the Japanese activity was not legitimate self-defense and Manchukuo was not & spontaneous development.
