Sobering t'p.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Mr. Roose
velt's quick steps toward promoting
world peace by building warships and
airplanes seems under the surface to
be getting somewhere, at least In
Japan.
The trans-Pacific grapevine reports
a very salutary effect there.
S A few months ago the Japanese
were making faces at the world. Dis
patches from Tokyo bristled with war
talk. All that la changed now. The
war talk comes In dispatches from
Europe. Tokyo is silent.
Our officials privately believe our
recognition of Russia may have had
something to do with the change, but
they point to the upbuilding of our
navy as the major cause.
A Japanese official told one of our
men confidentially at the London
economic conference:
"Japan cannot hope to compete
with the naval building plana of your
president. We have Insufficient re
sources to meet such competition."
Soviets.
Russia also has been using Mr.
Roosevelt's tactics to help the good
cause along. Six months ago she
was unprepared and afraid of Japan.
She Is atlll afraid but no longer un
prepared. Airplanes have been massed In Si
beria, ready for a break. Past tractors
have been turned out In Increasing
numbers. They run at 20 miles an
hour and are used for agricultural
purposes, but they can be swiftly
converted Into war weapons.
The best martial authorities be
llcvo she Is a fair match for Japan
now, although her preparations are
largely for defense rather than of
4 fense. 8he has no navy to speak of.
Her fortifications around Vladivostok
have been strengthened, but not
mmirh to reslRt a Japanese siege.
There would be little point In Russia
invading Manchuria, although nes air.
planea could make the place very
nnrnm fort Able.
She la strong where the Japanese
are weak In airplanes, jincre is
something' about a Japanese mind
which cannot absorb the principles
of aviation. Tney can neuner ouuu
planes nor fly them, although they
have been trying hard for years.
That also may have helped to In
duce Japan to stop and think.
Inrnrrlclble.
Germany Is rapidly taking the
Japanese place as tne naa ooy
BffirK Our officials can
hardly mention Hitler without cuss
ing, especially since ne puueo. mv
trick' on German foreign debts.
Hia relchebank reduced her Interest
payments (other than those on the
Dawes an Young loans) by as much
as a half. Our officials have Indis
putable proof that Germany Is using
this money to buy up German securi
ties chenply.
The houo realty Improvement com
pany of Berlin Is offering 4S0 for
lis $1000 bonds.
Step.
Our officials were going to protest
about that when the British ap
proarhed us secretly on the subject.
Her officials are more angry at Ger
many than ours are. The result was
we told Hitler he was "undermining
German credit." Those are strong
words for diplomatic exchanges, but
they failed to pierce Hitler's skull.
He snapped back within 12 hours,
announcing through his relchsbank
that even further interest reductions
were proposed.
It Is clearly a skin game or the
nazis against foreigners who hold
German securities. Hitler has not
lizard the Inst on the subject.
you may expect to see us take
Joint strong action with the British
shortly. It may go so far as to invoke
joint trade discriminations against
Germany.
Frrnrh.
You may have thought the French
were setting big hearted reoentty
when they offered to scrap half their
bombing planes tf everyone else did.
If so, you do not know the French.
The answer to that was contained
In the comment by our former air
chief, Major General Fechet. Said
he:
"The French bombing planes are
obsolete. If not outright Junk. Ours
are highly efficient."
The way our diplomats figured It
out France also was trying to gft on
the good Mde of Britain In the Inevit
able c"n eat aeatnst Germany.

Thousands Assigned to Jobs
Without Tools or Mate

Not Receiving Wages Due
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (VP)
Immediate lnvcstlK.it. on of
charges by John B. Elliott of Los
Angeles against the California
CI rll Works administration was
ordered today by Harry L. Hop
kins, CWA chief.
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 8. p) In a
statement which termed management
of the CWA here for the past four
weeks nothing leas than a public
scandal, John B. Elliott, first vice
chairman of the Democratic state
central committee, said today that
"I, for one, shall not remain silent
about it any longer."
He said his Investigations -have
convinced him of a great waste of
public money, the use of the unem
ployment relief for personal ends and
ambitions, a betrayal of President
Roosevelt and gross mishandling and
mismanagement of what Washington
Intended to be a supreme effort to
aid the Jobless.
Elliott, who was one of the leaders
In the Roosevelt campaign In Call
fornla. said he was In possession of
statements by persons within the
CWA organization to substantiate
specific charges and that he intended
to put the entire question before the
federal grand Jury If possible.
"As high as 19,000 to 17,000 un
employed have been assigned dally to
various projects without any tools
or any kind of materials with which
to work," the statement said. "Tills
army of men has stood about day
after day, In many cases for more
than 10 consecutive days, with noth
ing to work with and nothing to do
while they were on the federal pay
roll at 50 cents an hour.
"Thousands of workers who were
working have not been paid, some of
them for as long as four weeks at a
time. The pay checks for those work
ers were drawn but were misplaced
or could not be found.
"The purchase of huge amounts of
supplies required for these projects
under the Civil Works administra
tion has been made largely without
competitive secret bids and the great
est waste has existed and favoritism
has occurred in these purchases,"
ALIEN LAND ACT
PARRY INVALID
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. (AP) Sec
tion 9-A of the California alien land
act and section 1D83 of its code of
civil procedure were held Invalid to
day by the supreme court.

an alien Ineligible to citizenship.
