WHOLE NATION SUFFERS FROM HOUSING ILLS Every City Has Its Slums Despite Vaunted High Living Standards. Thi* la the fourth of m series of article* on houaine condition* In tbl* country. It >* published bv permission of Fortune Muulae. Housing conditions in New York were discussed Thursday. There can be little doubt as to the verdict on the slums of New York. But do these conditions exist in other cities —in the cities which are used to differentiate themselves from New York on the ground that New York Is really not an American city with American living standards? The answer is: They do. In Cincinnati, for example, a larger percentage of the population lived in tenements ten years ago than in any other city in America, and a survey of 5,993 flats in the town’s malodorous “basin” district showed that 70 per cent had outside toilets used by as many as nine families. There were eighty bathtubs in the area. Half the flats had two rooms only, and were occupied by one to seventeen people. Dark and windowless rooms existed, and a third of the buildings (three and four stories in height or more) had only one egress. A zoning law passed in 1924, a city plan adopted in 1925, and a reform administration since 1926 have bettered the “basin” area. 140 Tubs for 1,500 Homes But the emigration of the old German population from the downtown districts and their replacement largely by Negroes and migrants from the primitive Kentucky mountain districts has presented a new slum problem and left the death rate high. Chicago’s Hull house and stockyard districts need no introduction to a world already weary of reading the sordid story of the genertion they have produced. In 1925, 1,500 homes in these districts had 140 tubs among them, a third had yard toilets, and 85 per cent of them had no heat but stove heat. Philadelphia’s famous streets go by such names as Noble and Christian and Beth Eden. In 1929, yard toilets in these districts ran to 90 per cent and over and stove-heated homes to 95 per cent. Every tenth house in the Beth Eden district had no water whatever. Pittsburgh had, in 1929, its Russian families of eleven in two rooms, its Ukrainian families of ten in a single basement chamber, its Negro families of five with one room and no window, its sewers backing into basement bAths, its kitchen taking light and air from a market for live poultry. Slums “Soft redallcd” Public officials are persuaded it is unwise to refer to the existence of slums; the inhabitants of the districts may take the term as a reflection upon themselves; the facts do not always harmonize with the melody to which the local boosters sing their lays. The result has been that municipal authorities all too frequently have proceeded upon the theory that what they don’t know won’t hurt them. It was for that reason that the National Housing Association called its 1914 survey “What Our Cities Do Not Know.” Some of the things our cities did know, however, were that St. Louis still had 20,000 of its 40,000 privy vaulty, that Philadelphia still had 20,000 of its 60,000, that Minneapolis had 17,000, Pittsburgh 8,000, Detroit 5,800, Grand Rapids 4,400, Cleveland 2,835, plus 4,000 privy sinks, Columbus 1,800, New York 194. Baltimore’s record total of 90,000 largely has been swept away. By 1928, Philadelphia was down to 10,000 and St. Louis has today 10,000. But all this has to do with great city slums—the slum is the obvious and extreme case. Well-to-do citizens in their ordinary travels rarely see a slum. Brownstones Crowded Instead, they pass or skirt the block after block of crowded and unattractive but respectable-looking and apparently serviceable brownstone houses, the three-decker wooden houses and bow-windowed, half-shingled, two-family houses, the red brick, four-storied, frontstep. flats which, in one style of architecture or another, circle our larger cities and our more urban towns like the rim of deadened ash around a burning fire. % And they find it hard to believe that the homes in these buildings fall below a minimum standard of decency. Unfortunately, the fact is otherwise. A large proportion of these apparently dull-but-decent houses lacks the prime requisite of a samitary toilot for each family within the house; many lack running water in each flat; more are so constructed as to have dark, unventilated inside rooms. In others there is such a congestion of tenants that privacy is impossible; and in others the height of nearby buildings, the narrowness of alleys, and the extent to which the ground is built up have cut off light and air. Let the skeptical citizen turn aside into the back streets which intersect his well-paved, throughtraffic thoroughfare and see for himself. Tomorrow —Mr. Babbitt’s home town.

DARROW BARES LAWJSLIKE Drifted Into Profession, “Life Story’ Reveals. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. s.— ln Clarence Darrow’s autobiography, “The Story of My Life,” published today, the famous lawyer reveals intense dislike for all criminal proceedings, holding the view that criminals are abnormal and should be worked on by committees of experts rather than tried in courts of law'. Darrow feels that nowhere outside family life is there “the slightest evidence of kindness, of consideration, or a feeling for the suffering and the weak.” He reveals his own life was not planned, but that he drifted into being a lawyer because he saw them wearing white collars, doing no manual work and holding the respect of the community. Now he has little respect for the law and very little for lawyers. “No client of mine,” he writes, “ever has been put to death, and I feel that it would almost, if not quite, kill me if it ever should happen.” He says he never reads the story of an execution and always leaves town on the day. hanging. RULES ON CHAIN TAX Applicants Must Pay Poll Levy, Ogden Holds. More grief has fallen on the shoulders of the chain store tax collectors through a ruling of Attor-ney-General James M. Ogden that they must check on the store owner’s poll tax payment before issuing the store license for 1932. Since payments are made by mail, it will be necessary to have the payee send in his poll tax receipt, then it will be returned, it was announced today by L. O. Johnson, chief of the tax collections in the office of the state tax board. All women and men over 50 are except from poll tax payments, but must WTite and point out their exemption. There were more than 400 requests for payment sent out before the ruling, was made and Johnson had to write and explain to all those receiving the first letter. The 1931 legislature passed the law which requires that no state license of any kind can be issued until the poll tax is paid.

Japan Finds Trade Follows Bayonet, Girds for Conquest

In Six Decades Nippon j From Savage Land to One of World Powers. This Is the third es *ix ctorie* on “Japan’s Skyrocket Rise.” BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Writer (Copyright. 1933. NEA eervice, Inc.) Trade follows the flag—and also follows the machine gun, the rifle and the bayonet. At least, militaristic Japan has found it so. Compressed into the six decades of Japan’s short history as a modern nation, is a record of economic development which in most other countries might have taken centuries. Commercially—as with her army and navy—Japan was late in getting started . . . but now she has since come along! Figures tell the story of what has happened in her momentous years since 1870, when she finally got squared around after Commodore Perry had forced the opening of her ports in the 1850’s: Japan's Foreign Trade Exports Imports 1525 * 7.250.000 $ 17.000,000 }BBO 14.200.000 18.300.000 1890 28.300.000 42.000.000 1900 102.200.000 143.500.000 1910 229.200.000 232.100.000 1920 974.200.000 1,168.100.000 1925 1.152.800.000 1.286.525.000 1929 1,074.300.000 2.182.420.000 1930 734.825.000 773.025.000 Analyzed, these figures tell their own story. They show that Japan’s foreign trade doubled in the decade following its victorious war with Russia in 1904-05, which resulted in Japan’s commercial expansion into rich Korea and Manchuria. Hit by Depression In the decade between 1910 and 1920 the figures show how Japan’s industries profited from the World war trade boom by quadrupling their exports. They show the peak of imports and exports reached in the great prosperity year of 1929 and, contrastingly, the big tumble that occurred in 1930 after the world-wide depression hit. What has happened in other countries has happened in Japan, too. On May 31, 1930, Japan’s unemployed numbered 402,000. This is the latest official figure available. Doubtless the number since has increased. Silk is Japan’s principal article of export. Her biggest customer for all exports is not China, but the United States. America buys Approximately half of her products. Balked at Boycott In the face of statistics like these, and the history of past expansions, it is not difficult to understand why—in the autumn of 1931, and the second consecutive year of depression, Japan buckled on her armor again and sallied forth into rich Manchuria once more. They say they went to smash a Chinese boycott against their goods; what caused China to declare such a boycott is quite another matter. Let’s look now at the rise of Japan’s vast manufacturing industries. Industries Increase In 1870, Japan had no industries worthy of the name. In 1896, she had 4,595 industrial and commercial concerns. In 1908, her industrial establishments numbered 11,390. In 1918, they had increased to 22,391 in number from 379,556 to 2,006.098; men operatives increased

OFFICIALS MAY TRY TO RETURN KLINCK

Ex-Stephenson Bodyguard May Come Back to Save Parents’ Bond. Attempt to return Earl Klinck, former bodyguard of D. C. Stephenson, to Indiana to serve one to three years in the state prison, is expected to be made this week by Marion county court officials and a local bonding firm. The state supreme court recently upheld Klinck’s conviction as an accessory before the fact in falsely attesting an affidavit. Klinck was found guilty four years ago. Joe T. Shotwell of the Aetna Casualty and Insurance Company, which provided the $5,000 appeal bond, said the bond was secured by cash collateral provided by Klinck’s parents, who reside in' Evansville. Klinck is believed to be in Kansas or Oklahoma. The company will not make any effort to seek Klinck until ordered by Judge Frank P. Baker, Shotwejl said. Officials indicated they believed Klinck will return, rather

from 248,751 to 646,115 and women operatives increased from 400,925 to 763,081. In 1924, the number of factories had again doubled—4B,394—and employes numbered 1,977,000. In 1928, there were 55,948 factories—but, significantly enough, with 30,000 less employes. These are the most recent official figures. Trade Follows Bayonet The great example of trade following. the bayonet was in Manchuria after a Japan’s victory in the war with Russia. The treaty of Portsmouth, brought about in 1905 by President Roosevelt, had' these results: Russia handed over to Japan its railroad through the rich territory between Changchun and Port Arthur, now known as the South Manchurian railway. Russia handed over the leased territory of Kwantung; the lease was to expire in 1923, but Japan’s famous “Twenty-one Demands” forced China to extend it to 1991, and, further, extended the South Manchurian railway concession to the year 2002. Rich in Iron With all this a rich agricultural and mineral area came under Japan’s dominion. Half of all east China’s iron deposits are in Manchuria, and half of Manchuria’s iron lies within the Japanese railway concession zone. Millions of plodding Chinese farmers—as primitive as they were in the days of Confucius—glow soy beans in this area. For centuries the soy bean was merely the native food, but science changed all that. Japan’s modern and efficient railroad hauls these beans to market to be made into hundreds of different products, from printing ink to infant foods and from soap to linoleum—and the value is millions. Briton Built Railroad The story of Japan’s first railroad is worth telling. Back in 1869, there was a rice famine in one of Japan’s southern provinces. Hundreds starved, although rice crops in the north were abundant. There were no transportation facilities. Sir Harry Parkes, British repre-

than have his parents lose the money. Klinck is alleged to have attested a false affidavit in an effort to have the federal grand jury indict Boyd Gurley, editor of The Times, and leaders of the political corruption investigation. The fake writ set out that William Rogers, former Klansman and auto salesman, had given false testimony at the Senator James Reed hearing at the orders of the Indianapolis men. Rogers testified before Reed he had seen Senator James E. Watson’s Klan card. Shortly before unholding Kh nek’s conviction, the supreme court also upheld the life imprisonment conviction of Stephenson, former Indiana Klan leader.

sentative In Tokio, seized upon this crisis to urge railroads. After much opposition, English engineers were permitted to build a line from Tokio to Yokohama In 1872. The distance is nineteen miles. The English builders expanded their road, but in a few years the Japanese had dispensed with foreign aid altogether in both building and operating their railways. In 1927, they had more than 10,000 miles. Japan s South Manchuria railroad, in the heart of a land where native customs are ages old, is now as modern as the New York Central. It has American Pullman cars, American dining cars, costly stations and operates its own string of modern hotels in Manchuria. That these Japanese hotels are merely thinly-disguised military hospitals is quite another matter. Benevolent in its despotism, the railway enterprise conducts schools for nearby native children, libraries, welfare work, etc. The figures show that, in investment per mile and kind of traffic carried, the South Manchuria railway does about the same business as the Lehigh Valley system in America. For the year ended March 31, 1931, the South Manchuria railway way showed a net revenue per dollar of investment of 22 '2 cents. In the year ended Dec. 31, 1930—the nearest comparable period—the Lehigh Valley system showed a net revenue per dollar of investment of just 414 cents. Yes, a lot- has happened since 1872 when Japan saw its first railroad. Next: If you were a Japanese in Tokio today . . . how you would live, where you would trade, what you would see, where would you work? .. , The big cities “go American,” but the ancient customs of old Japan still cling in the hinterland.

BRITISH TARIFF BILL ALMOST SURETO PASS Free Trade Will Die With 75 Per Cent Taxation of All Imports. BY HARRY L. PERCY United Press Stall Cornupondent LONDON. Feb. s.—Free trade Britain died today with government proposals for a 10 per cent ad valorem duty on almost all imports, effective March 1, ana olans Iqr ultimate taxation of 75 per ceut of all imports. In an effort to correct the adverse trade balance and attract capital, the government proposed a tariff committee which will recommend additional duties, either permanent or temporary, for the “general interest of trade and industry.” A maxihmm duty of 100 per cent was proposed against goods from countries having discriminatory tariffs against Britain. The' general tariff revenue was expected to be between 70,000,000 pounds and 80,000,000 pounds (S3OO- - annually. Announcement of the tariff plan, in the house of commons by Chancellor of Exchequer Neville Chamberlain was tantamount to adoption of the Treasure. The national government has the strength to rush the bill through when introduced next week. The bill also will authorize an unlimited duty on any articles now exempt, or an added tax on articles already dutiable where advisable. The tariff is designed chiefly for revenue, but is certain to discourage imports. Ward Funeral Today NOBLESVILLE. Ind., Feb. 5. Funeral services were held today for Charles B.
