War-Torn Japanese Wonder
If Conquest Is Worth Cost
Bf Relman Morla
Tokyo (Correspondence of the Associated Press) The
Japanese government is confident that it is achieving its aims
in China, but many of the Japanese people are wondering
whether it is worthwhile.
Japan has conquered morel
than a third of China's popula
tion and area, including her
richest provinces and most mod
ern industrial centers, and Jap
anese leaders are confident of
ultimate complete victory In the
plan to establish " new order
in East Asia."
The Japanese people, how
ever, worn with war, find their
lot a heavy hardship for the
present and they look into the
future with foreboding.
All Affected
Ordinarily stolid and uncom
plaining, the people will tell, off
the record, of their sacrifices for
the successes of the army has
won In China. Many wonder,
whether the cost is equal to the
gain.
There is hardly a neighbor
hood, a factory, an office which
has not contributed its dead to
battlefields of China.
There is hardly an individual
who has not felt the financial
load weighing more and more
heavily. Many are near the
breaking point.
Today In Japan 15 per cent
tax makes a 20-sen cup of cof
fee cost 23 sen. If the bill in
a restaurant reaches three yen,
the customer pays more than
four yen, Including taxes.
Shortages are such that some
products cannot be bought for
any price. The gasoline ration
for a taxi is two gallons a day.
Medical supplies, aspirin and in
sulin particularly, are below the
danger point.
Fuel Runs Low
Fuel is low. Railway cars
are not heated this winter. Of
fice buildings had no heat until
after Dec. 1 and then went on
a ration that was half their
consumption last year.
Gas inspectors recently visited
every home in Tokyo, sealing
one burner on each kitchen
range. They left the warning
that gas-using water heaters
might be sealed before the end
of the winter.
Cotton, wool, leather, metals
and canned goods almost have
disappeared from the market.
There is a cigaret famine about
every two months.
When you buy a carton of
cigarcts the clerk removes the
individual packages and keeps
the carton. "I must send it back
to the factory for re-packing,"
he says.
Official figures show an aver
age increase in food costs of 130
per cent in the past 18 months,
with rice up 33 per cent, fish
250 per cent and vegetables 200
per cent. Clothing costs are up
an average of 280 per cent.
Rents are 80 per cent higher,
coal 100 per cent higher and
charcoal, chief fuel for the
masses, up 140 per cent.
LOANWPAYS
$13,000 DIVIDEND
Dividends totaling over
$13,000 are being distributed
this week to members of the
Jackson County Federal Savings
and Loan association, A. P. But
ler, secretary, said today. This
payment represents earnings for
the six month period at the
annual rate of 4 percent.
"Payment of this dividend Is
a favorable sign," said Mr. But
ler. "It not only is important to
those receiving the dividends,
but is assurance to all that
economic progress is being sus
tained in our city."
Analysis of the financial re
port of the association shows a
substantial reduction In funds
borrowed from the Federal
Home Loan Bank and a satisfac
tory increase of investments
made by individuals. Private
share investments for 1939 were
twice the amount during the
previous year. Reserves and un
divided profits, have increased
$4,700.
The association has been an
important factor in aiding resi
dents of Medford and surround
ing communities to finance their
homes. Loans totaling over
$144,000 were advanced during
the past year, an increase of
$20,000 over the previous year.
Thse loans were made to fi
nance sales, construction of new
homes and repairs and modern
izing existing homes.
The Jackson County Federal
Savings and Loan association Is
v a member of the Federal Sav
ings and Loan Insurance corpor
ation, an instrumentality of the
United Stales which insures sav
ings of association members
against loss up to $5,000.
Motorists On Spot
Portland, Jan. 5. MP) The
police department put tardy
motorists on the spot today and
prepared to arrest those without
1940 license plates. Municipal
Judge Julius Cohn said he
would fine violators $1 this
week, $2 next week and $3 all
following weeks.
$173 REALIZED IN
BOOTH SEAL SALE
Miss Helen Bullis. Jackson
county chairman of the Christ
mas seal sale, announced today
that $173.02 had been realized
from booth sales alone. The
booths were located in the post
office and Montgomery Ward
and company.
M iss Bullis a 1 so stated t ha t
this year's booth amount fell
slightly below that of last year.
She attributed this small differ
ence to the fact that last year
three booths were maintained.
The chairman voiced her
thanks to the many women who
volunteered to assist with the
sales. She also said that the
total amount realized from the
entire sales had not been deter
mined as yet because communi
ties had not sent in returns. It
is thought the amount would be
on a par with the previous year.
January 15 is the date set for
all returns to be in, Miss Bullis
announced.
San Francisco, Jan. 3. ()
Northwestern Electric Corp., re
ports $584,765 net income for
the 12 months ended Nov. 30, an
increase from $487,520 net in
the preceding year.
