CHINA PLANS FOR PLACE AS WORLD POWER Next Great ‘Rebirth of Nation’ Expected as Result of ‘Comeback’ Schemes. B 7 S r r\pj,t.H rnrnr<t ,\FVp>jpr Alllnnrr WASHINGTON. Aug 18—Aftr Russia, the next rebirth of a nation ig expected in China China now is working out the details of a national "come-back" upon which she will stake her very existence. Militarily, economically and otherwise. China plans to make herself a world power, fully competent, not only to defend herself against further partition, but to take back Manchuria and Jehol from Japan. Chinese spokesmen do not label it a "five-year ’ or a ‘ten-year’' plan, as in the case of Russia, but the completed program would make that of the Soviet Union seem petty by comparison. Dr. Sun’s Plan Altered In part, it is the conception of Chinas George Washington, the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. The loss of Manchuria, however, and the failure of the nine-power treaty of Washington. the Kellogg pact and thp League of Nations to protect her from stronger powers have caused China considerably to modify it. Among other things it contemplate* the following: 1. A powerful, new standing army of not less than 500 000 to sonnoo men. equipped with airplanes, artillery, tanks and all the other very latest armament, and trained to the minute by American and European experts. 2 A commercial aviation corps with at ]en . i ono planes *o open uo regular air lines, and act as a reserve to the armed service. Work to Prevent Famines 3 The completion as quickly as practicable of a network of railroads and highways throughout the country to provide transportation, open up dark corners and hasten the work of national education and unification. 4 The systematic creation of a real navy, and merchant marine, not only for river and coastwise traffic, but for overeas trade. v Flood control, irrigation and reforestation to prevent famines. fi. Introduction of modern, scientific farm methods: sanitation of towns and cities, and application of electric power to agriculture. 7. The creation of vast basic industries such as public utilities, steel and iron works, coal and petroleum mining, the manufacture of chemicals, sugar, motor cars, textiles and so forth. PUBLIC WORKS LOAN REQUESTS CHECKED Advisory Board to Forward Findings to Washington Soon. With applications for loans totaling more than $20,000.00(1 pending, the Indiana advisory committee of the federal emergency public works administration, today began investigation of loan requests by various Indiana cities, towns, counties, and townships. Recommendations of the committee will be forwarded to Washington. The borrowing unit is allowed thirty years to repay loans, and then Is required to pay back only 70 per ernt. Several employes of the office have been named by A H. Hinkle, committee engineer and former state highway maintenance chief. They include Forrest M. Logan, specialist in bridge, water supply, and sanitation engineering projects; Paul H. Johnson, consulting engineer; Seeley Williams, secretary to Hinkle, and Miss Faye Terrille. former Marion county Democratic vice-chairman, who will serve as general clerk.

The ABC of the NRA Below are given answers to questions sent to The Times by readers seeking information on problems arising from the National Recovery Act.

1 iimnHKerH mt r.ito(llnii? roine unt<T i>rovlntor:s of the NRA? If so, what arc the hours and wages?—R. W. A—Pending approval of separate codes, managers and executives receiving more than $35 a week are exempted from the maximum hour provisions of PRA. You do not specify the duties of the custodian. We are unable to answer that part of your question.

A—Pending adoption of a code for the dry-cleaning industry, those who sign PRA must abide by the provisions of that agreement. This agreement exempts from the hourly provisions outside salesmen. It also exempts from its wage provisions an employe whose compensation is derived solely from commissions and who has no base salary or guaranteed salaryar an Q Does the NRA affect domeatics? — 8. W.

T. F. A—A temporary code has been approved by General Johnson. Beauticians may not employ accounting. clerical, or office employes more than forty hours in any week. Beauticians and other employes may not. work more than forty-eight hours. For the full text, send 5 cents to Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C.

Upon going to them to moulre about the code, the meplover found that thev were working their men 44Jj hours a week and were not going to accept the rode The emplover uses men for piece work who earn on the average of from Sl2 to S2O a week He steadily employs only two men. but takes on more whenever necessary.

The idea is this: Give Slim Summerville and Zasu Pitts new faces, the more grotesque the better; laughing, smiling, distorted, or in any other manner that will provoke laughs. However, the drawing must be a likeness of each star in general facial features, and easily recognized. That should be easy. Hurry now ! Clip the above outline, and go to work or, rather, play.

codes, but the hours of work and minimum wage must be governed by PRA if the employer signs PRA. Under PRA, piece work employes must be, in effect, guaranteed a minimum wage. In Indianapolis, for this class of work, the minimum guaranteed wage would be obtained by multiplying the number of hours workedwby 36' cents. B B B Q— Beforw complying with the NRA. a company paid emploves working sixty hours a week. 25 cents an hour, eoual to sls a week After signing the code, the company cut th time to fortv-flve hours a week and raised wages 27 1 a cents an hour, which made a salary of St2.37'i a week—a reduction In salary of approximately *3 a week. The reader wants to know if the comDanv has the right to do this without taking on new men who would get the benefit of the cuts, or has the company the right to reduce wages without taking on new men. which would be a reason for dome so? The minimum salary set down In the code is 27' 2 cents a hour, but ha* the company the right to reduce wages to the minimum? Why not leave them as thev are?—J. A. R. A—The company you mention evidently working under a code for that particular industry, but we are unable to determine from your question what it is. This might change the nature of the answer given. In general, those who display the Blue Eagle agree not to reduce the compensation for employment now in excess of the minimum wages agreed to. notwithstanding that the hours worked in such employment have been reduced, and agree to Increase the rates for such employment by an equitable readjustment. The question of an "equitable readjustment" is left to individual employes, subject, of course, to investigation later by local NRA committees. BUB Q~ W'hen sre the big buitn<s*f* in the city, who have signed the code and display the eagle, going to put code requirements into effect? Thev sign, but they don’t do anything about it. K. A—The President has asked that PRA be put into effect as soon as possible and has set Sept. 1, 1933. as the date when they must be in effect.
