Such an agency would give congress independent information against which to check the statements ot conditions made by Mr. Roosevelt or other representatives of the executive department. Bearing obliquely on issues raised by Jackson last night in his discussion of relations between government and business was a report by the United States Chamber of Commerce that its tax study foretold a peak load for taxpayers in 1938. The chamber said federal, state and local taxes may reach $13,500.(100.000 next year, approximately one-fifth of the expected national income—a ratio of taxation to income which the chamber said "has been regarded as the danger signal." “The otal volume of taxes in 1935 was about $10,400,000,000,” the chamber said. $3,900,000,000 of federal and $0,500,000,000 of state and local. “The total volume of taxes in 1937 may reach as high as $11,800,000,000 of which $5,000,000,000 is federal and $6,800,000,000 state and local taxes. "Taxes for 1938 may be tentatively forecast, on the basis of available date, at about $13,500,000,000, of which $6,400,000,000 will I federal and $7,100,000,000 state] and local. "The current business recession emphasizes the need for retarding tlie rate of increase in governmental expenditures and taxes, to the end that the restraints and handicaps which taxes place upon enterprise may be moderated and business given more freedom to cope with current economic difficulties. —_— —o LATEST JAPANESE o-’ONtinttwti w>m pacsh) revK) Tientsin, in north China, some time ago. and they did not give rise ’o misunderstandings.” Accept Apology Washington.

gunboat Panay appeared today to have dosed the incident. Having threatened the peaceful relations ot the two countries, the Panay affair was technically ended during the holiday weekend by Secretary of State Cordell Hull. In a note to the Japanese minister of foreign affairs, Koki Hirota, Hull accepted Japan's apologies, but expressed “the earnest hope” that steps had been taken to prevent "any further attacks upon or unlawful interference by Japanese authorities or forces with American nationals, interests or property in China." Only one phase of the incident remained in disagreement and both countries appeared content to hold their own views on that for the present. That was whether the bombing and sinking of the Panay and three American merchant ships on the Yangtse river by Japanese planes was an accident as the Japanese government insists, or whether, as reported by the Panay commander, it was deliberate and intentional. As a result of the acceptance of apologies this government returned to a "watchful waiting” policy toward the Japanese invasion of China. May Recall Officers Tokyo, Dec 27 (U.R) Japan may recall additional officers involved in the attack on the United States gunboat Panay as a gesture |of good will to the flnited States. •a foreign office spokesman said (today. In its Christmas Eve note to the United States, the Japanese government said that in addition to the recall of Admiral Teizo Mitsunatni, chief of aerial operations in China, "staff members of the fleet. the commander of the (attackingl flying squadron and all others responsible have been duly dealt with according to law." However, the foreign office statement today indicated that not only would men responsible be "dealt with" on the spot, but that the government was considering the much more serious punishment of calling some of them home. The foreign office spokesman disclosed also that American ambassador Joseph Clark Grew, in presenting the American government's reply to the Christmas Eve note, emphasized the paragraph

which expressed hope that the steps which Japan took to guard against further attacks would prove effective. Foreign Minister Kok I Hirota, in reply, expressed the gratitude of the Japanese government at the friendly tone of the American note, the spokesman said, and commented: ‘lt is a matter for congratulation that the incident has lieen sett If <1 amicably through the friendly spirit existing between Japan and the United States." With the presentation of the American note, the Japanese government considers the Panay incident closed, it was said.

Would You Buy It AGAIN? All merchants—nearly everybody who makes a living by selling something—can be divided into two distinct groups: GROUP ONE: The merchant whose goods give so little \alue that he. like the old-time vendor of gold-bricks, cannot expect “repeat” orders. He must make all his profit from the first (and only) sale. Then he must seek buyers not yet familiar with his goods or reputation. GROUP TWO: The merchant whose goods are sold in the hope of winning the purchaser’s continued patronage- He can expect only a moderate profit. Thus, one sale per person is not enough. Each article must be good enough to make the buyer want to buy it again. The merchants who advertise in this paper belong in Group Two. They could not stay in business unless they earned “repeat” orders -unless they gave you honest value for every dollar you spend with them. That is why each article they sell you must be so thoroughly satisfactory that you would later answer “yes” to this, the most important question a merchant can ask a customer: “Would you but it again?”
