By PAUL MAI.LON Copyrlelit, 1034 Uplift WASHINGTON, Jan. 37. The pub Ho works and civilian employment doles are really doing some uplllt. In fact, they have brought the only remarkable general Improve ments notable In the business, pic ture during the last three montha. That deduction Is. clearly the fea- ire of this month's balance chart of business. It la a seasonally ad Justed, unbiased table of government and private statistics showing Just exactly where we atand on bsslc Items each month in relation to nor mal i 1923-25). This month the chart registers the fact that Industry and labor have come through another hard winter wltftout gaining any ground or los ing any. It shows our January con dition generally about 10 per cent better than last January and Just about equal to January, 1932. a . Doling m,- i inHtnM whlp.h iumrjed UD strongly during the last two or three months were department store sales htilMtnir The Christmas month of Decem ber was 8 per cent better this season than last In tfie department stores. That la NOT aa remarkable as the fact that the usual dull month of January showed a probable Jump of 13 plonta above last January. It indicates clearly that the money being poured out by the government to city unemployed through the CWA Is making retail buslneaa Im prove against a strong seasonal trend. The results o federal atlmulatlon are even more noticeable In build ing. That Industry was running only 48 per cent of normal three months ago. In January it was 73 per solely because of the PWA. Balance The result la that business Is going into the second month of the new year on a better balanced plane t.han it haa been any time since the depression started. Payrolls are still less than they should be and foreign trade la away out of line, but every thing else production, employment, salca freight loadings and buildings are each fairly -well balanced with the other. They average about 70 per cent ot normal, aa you can note by study ing the chart on the editorial page. Reasons The confidential guess of experts In that chart will be at least three polnta better generally in February. They are confident of strong fur ther rise through the spring months. You may be surprised to find that the January figures on production, employment and pay rolls are no better. Certainly statistics you have been reading from day to day during the month Indicated we were soaring In tfie skies, There are two reasons for that. One Is that auch lndustriea as tex ti.. tai ind automobiles could not get going during December and January. Textiles naa to s" a per cent reduction of the NRA code requirements. That Industry over stocked last summer and now la try ing to adjust its output to current demands. Automobile production encountered i rheumatism on the knee action Uanrv Fnrrl 18 the Onl? One who has been producing enough to Supply orders. . ine oinern .inw mrc.. rf-iavaj m DAttintr their production technique straightened out. One manufacturer la supposea had 70.000 orders on hand recently that could not be filled. The failure of automobile produc tion caused the failure In demand for steel. All three together neutrallMd the .Improvements show during the month in other Industrial lines. Rmy Olnsses The other reason why financial page statistics look better then they are Is the la.-t that they are always compared with last January. At that time we were going down rasi ana Just netting ready to bounce on the bottom. Any half decent figure for this January looks like a boom time fig ure w.'ien compared with January f last year. That situation will hold true for the first six montha of this year at least. (We touched bottom In March last yean. Trade The Improvement In foreign trade la attributed to the dollar policy and prohibition repeal. Liquor Imports In December amounted to more than the Increase In total Import. That means If. It hart not been for liquor, our Importa woulrt have fallen off. The Increase In exporta la being officially attributed to the fact that the cheap dollar permitted buying hers bv foreign nations. That seems to be a correct assumption, but the improvement Is hardly big enough to brag about. Some of It may be due to the deala for exports we made with foreign nations who want their liquor quo tas. prmperltv fl?n NEW YORK.

Elaborate precautions had been ta-c en against a repetition of earlier an'.l Rovernment demorrtt rat Ions, but the monarchists, shouting Invective and swinging chairs, repeatedly charged through lines of mounted police and foot officers. The hours-long battle followed the resignation of Premier camllle Chan temps' cabinet, against whose alleged part In the I4O.00j.OOO Stavlsky pawn shop scandal the royalists have staged frequent demonstrations In recent weeks. "Down with Chautemps!" was the rallying cry of hundreds of rioters who time and again smashed into the ranks of authorities wielding any weapon that came to hand. Ranks of the bluecoats were broken as groups of SO to 100 men struggled throughout the spacious Place de V Opera near the cafe De La Palx. Magnesium flares were thrown at the mounted officers, whose horses, panic-stricken, reared and plunged Every available policeman was on duty. Firemen and guards aided In the battle. Three blocks of helmcted policemen were stationed around the i place, At the cafe De I Palx the mon ! archlsts seized chairs and smashed them over the heads of the police Blood flowed freely. Mounted policemen rode again ar.i again into the mob but the battles were quieted only temporarily, to be resumed more fiercely in a nearby quarter. Authorities smashed right and lt with clubs. Firemen attached their ' hoses inside the opera while pol.co guarded them from attacks. Then streams of water were pounded upon the mob streets leading to the place we-e barricaded with hib police buses and patrol wagons, but the royal lata smashed Into them successfully. M.

In Foreign Policy Speech MOSCOW, Jan. 27. -(P) A war against the soviet union would start a world revolution In Asia and Eu rope, which would crush capitalistic governments in a number of coun tries, Joseph Stalin told the all-union communist party congress tonight. He decried the activities of "war mongers" having designs againat the soviet stste but pledged his country to be ready for fight if necessary. "We warn everybody not to poke their snouts Into the soviet potato patch," he declared, applying by im plication the name "swine" to those nations which cherish warlike designs against Russia. He singled out Japan and Germany for particular criticism In the section of his address which dealt with the soviet foreign policy. "It is a mistake to think an ambi tion to wage war against the sovk-t union and share its territory la held only by Japanese military circles." he said. "We know very well It Is shared by some political circles in Europe. But If this happens It will be the most dangerous war for mankind In his tory not only because the population of the soviet union wilt ftght to deitn to defend the country but because the war also will take place behind the lines of our enemies, where our num erous friends would deal a mortal blow to those daring to take up arms against the soviet union. "These latter will be responsible If they bring about a revolution In a number of countries in Europe and Asia and complete the destruction of land-owner governments."

Jan. 37 (API Approved by both house and sen ate. President Roosevelt's monetary bill tonight lacked only the brief final formalities of enactment before It could give the chief executive power to devalue the dollar and put $2,000,000,000 to the taslt of protect ing the foreign value of the nation's currency. Monday it will be brought up In the house for consideration and probably quick acceptance of amend ments attached by the senate lim iting the effectiveness of the meas ure to three years, and making sev eral minor changes. Then It will be sent to the White House for Mr. Roosevelt's signature and action. Passage by the senate by a vote of 06 to 23 came after administra tion forces had beaten back a de termined challenge from the expon ents of remonetlzed sliver by the breath-taking margin of two votes. The vote was 4S tp 43. (Senator McNary and Steiwer voted nay). Wavering Democrats were awept Into line Just before the roll-call by a statement from their floor leader, Robinson of Arkansas, that the pend ing amendment to direct govern ment purchase of 1790,000,000 worth of silver and the Issuance of cur rency against It waa "In conflict with the plans of President Roose velt.

(AP) The administration stepped ahead on Its road to the cheaper dollar to day, but nevertheless, had time left to point out ft few fields of en deavor that officials believe have too low regulatory fences. Stlverltcs failed In attempts to burden the monetary bill with the i ancient Issue of sixteen to one but they were fought off by administra tion supporters. The bill was paased- y late In the day and sent to the house for final action Monday. Every sign polnta to ft quick use by President Roosevelt of the powers the bill will give him. First the gold In the federal reserve banks will be hauled Into the treasury. Then the content of the dollar will be thinned to give it only 40 to 00 per cent of Its present golden hue. Prom the profit this process will give the government, a stabilization fund will be set up under Secretary Mot- genthau to deal In foreign exchange and government securities, holding them at the levels the administra tion believes they should cling to. The president should get the meas ure for signing Into law by the mid dle of next week. The task of building up emergency flumes through which to tend bank ing, industry, agriculture, and mon ey to more satisfactory levels haa kept the administration so busy that today waa the first time It had got ten around to sending congress rec ommendations with respect to stock exchanges, communications nd util ity holding companies.
