WORST PART OF I SLUMP IS OVER, SLOAN REPORTS Business Gain Is Visible, Says President of General Motors. (Continued From Pare On* 1 ) over to Japanese bis? business. We took it for the rank and file of the Japanese people.” Representatives of the big concerns who went to Manchuria to investigate opportunities complained that they were treated by the army as if they were foreign spies and had no business there. “Japanese political parties are rotten to the core,” Yosuke Matsuoka, Japan’s famed Geneva spokesman, told me. ‘‘l am trying to do away with all of them.” Hailed as a hero after his return from Geneva as chief of the delegation to the League of Nations' Manchurian debate. Matsuoka’s first public act after his arrival in Tokio was to resign from the diet and form his own party, to stump the automobile industry, averted only by last minute action ot President Roosevelt. Foresees Steady Improvement Mr. Sloan also opposed any sudden or radical reduction in working hours as certain to have “a highly objectionable effect.” In his report, the General Motors head said that business improvement would continue unless upset by some unusual circumstances. "The rate of improvement may be accelerated or retarded by injecting into the picture abnormal influences,” Mr. Sloan said, “but the general trend will not be affected for the reason that an industrial recovery, like an industrial depression, is in a practical sense of the word, an irresistible force. It seems reasonable, therefore, to expect a still further betterment of conditions.” Report Shows Profit Turning to a financial review of | 1933, Mr. Sloan reported that net ] income of General Motors for the , year was $74,034,831. equivalent to $1.72 a share on common stock, contrasted with a net loss of $9,041,408 : in 1932. Before preferred dividend : payments, net earnings last year ; aggregated $83,213,676, against: $164,979 in the preceding twelve months. Current assets of the company at the close of 1933 totaled $320,015,606. j Current liabilities were $76,182,710. j A year eaflier, current assets were $283,258,874 and current liabilities $57,821,680. Cash totaled $150,952,197, compared with $151,152,747 at the close of 1932. Holdings of U. S. government securities were $26,141,791, compared with $19,327,083. Inventories totaled $115,584,599, compared with $75,478,611. Total assets were $1,183,674,005, compared with | $1,115,228,641 at the close of the preceding year. Net Sales Increase Net sales last year aggregated $569,010,542. compared with $432.311,863 in 1932, a gain of 31.6 per cent. Sales to dealers were 869,035 units, compared with 562,970 units in 1932, an increase of 54.4 per cent. Reviewing labor conditions and effect of the NRA codes on the automobile industry, Mr. Sloan told stockholders that an immediate clarification of the much disputed Section 7-A of the national industrial recovery act is essential. “Second,” he continued, “if industrial co-operation within any industry is to be permitted, reducing in whole or in part the competitive influence, ultimately affecting the price to the consumer, it is highly essential that the arrangement, whatever form it may take, should be predicated upon the most efficient set of circumstances even if ; t means through evolution the elimination of the less efficient. Against Sudden Hours Cut “Third, no greater fallacy exists today than the viewpoint held by so many—that the number of manhours of employment is definitely fixed and, assuming the number of ■workers is known, the problem of unemployment is solved by dividing the amount of work by the number of workers. Around this thinking comes the agitation for the mandatory thirty-hour week. “The average hours of employment over the decade may perhaps be gradually reduced but from an economic standpoint, an immediate radical adjustment is bound to exert a highly deflationary influence and at a time of improving conditions will surely inject into the picture a highly objectionable effect. It is to be hoped that wiser counsels will prevail.”

PUT OBSTACLES ASIDE Englewood Masons Storm Losers

ThU ia till l thirteenth of a eerie* of hi*lorie of Marion county Maaonic blue lodge* which have been appearing each Mondav in The Time*. Neat week a history of Locan lodge will he published. SOME eight years before it was chartered, Englewood lodge No. 715, Free and Accepted Masons, was conceived, early in 1912, in the mind of Roy Mawson. real founder of Englewood and then a young man who had just received degrees from Logan lodge. Mr. Mawson and his instructor, the late Benjamin F. Frey, often discussed the possibility of founding a blue lodge in the vicinity of Rural and East Washington streets which they considered a location ideal for such an organization. In due course a considerable group was won over to the idea and a building was erected, the second floor of which was to be used by the lodge. After a disheartening struggle, however, the idea was temporarily abandoned when it proved impossible to obtain a dispensation for a charter. But the spirit that had carried the first movement so far never died and again in 1919 the same group reinforced by others including. notably, the Rev. E. E. Moorman, then pastor of Englewood Christian church, started proceedings with a view to petitioning once more for a dispensation. Indispensable to this group was John E. Bay less, past master of Newpoint lodge and first master of Englewood, for before a dispensation can be issued the petitioning group must contain a past master. Dispensation was granted Nov. 19, 1919, by Charles Orbison, most worshipful grand master of Indiana, who at that time appointed Mr. Bayless, worshipful master; Mr. Mawson, senior warden, and Mr. Frey, junior warden. They selected Ralph E. Lund as secretary and Jacob J. Hasseld as treasurer. At this time Englewood w r as selected as the lodge name. a tt AT the first regular meeting, which was held in the hall of Irvington lodge, no less than thirtyfour petitions for membership were presented. At this same meeting Dr. Homer W. Cox, William A. Moore and Edward C. Gottman were elected trustees. The building which the tentative lodge had built in 1914 was long since occupied, so at this time Englewood was forced to look for new quarters somewhere “in the vicinity of Rural and East Washington streets” as the dispensation specified. The building at 2215 East Washington street was selected, purchased on Dec. 29, 1919, remodeled and furnished for a lodge hall, and on Jan. 29, 1920, Englewood held its first meeting in its new' home. Englewood performed its first work that same night -when it conferred the entered apprentice degree on Alfred V. Hollingsworth, Russell M. Asher. George F. Simmons and Elmer M. Peterson. Although these four were the first to receive degree work from Englewood, William Y. Hinkle, on March 5, 1920. was the first man to be raised to the master Mason degree by the new blue lodge. He won this honor on the toss of a coin from a fellow petitioner who also received the third degree that night. The first official staff of officers was named April 20, 1920. and sufficient members had signed the charter when it was presented to the grand lodge of Indiana, May 12, 1920. Charter members were Victor J. Armhorst, John C. Baker, John E. Bayless, Harry H. Boles. James P. Carter, Herman R. Corbin. Homer W. Cox, Patrick H. Craig. Janies O. Dawson, Benjamin F. Frey, Edward C. Gottman. John M. Gray, Charles Hacker, Frank Hasseld. Jacob J. Hasseld. Harvey Hiatt, Ray T. Holland. Alfred B. Hollingsworth, Murzy H. Hollingsworth. Peter S. Kelly., Ralph E. Lund. John L. Malison. Roy Mawson, Raymond H. Mitchell, Charles A. Penny, Fred W. Shigley, Leroy Shilkett, ’Frank Swarthout, Thomas L. Sharp, Lloyd M. Thompson, Chris Vossler and Leo Whorley. Bfeyn-SyjMMt shrdlu bmh b a a ENGLEWOOD received its charter May 25. 1930: but because of the crowded schedule of t4e grand lodge it was not officially inj stituted until July 15 at ceremonies at which Mr. Orbison. past grand master, assisted by Mr. Frcv, prej sided. First officers of the lodge under i charter were Mr. Bayless, worship- | ful master; Mr. Mawson, senior warden; Mr. Carter, junior warden; ■ Mr. Hasseld. treasurer; Mr. Lun<i, secretary; Mr. Thompson, senior deacon; Mr. Hinkle, junior deacon: Mr. Christie, senior steward; Mr.

Kinder, junior steward, and Mr. | Tharp, tyler. The three original trustees were continued in office. Following the installation ceremonies Mr. Orbison was elected an honorary member. Among the notable events in Englewood’s history was the meeting at which former Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank was raised to the master Mason degree. On this occasion the lodge had 148 visitors and more than 200 were turned away for want of space. The lodge had many ups and downs in its early days, but was progressing nicely with the mortgage on the building paid and the lodge hall remodeled and refurnished; when on May 18, 1927, the building in which the members took such pride was demolished by a tornado which swept the east side of the city. The lodge paraphernalia was all that was salvaged. The only life lost in the storm was that of a young man who, taking shelter in the lee of the building, was pinned beneath it when it collapsed. tt tt a 'T'HE lodge, like most property owners, was caught with insufficient tornado insurance, and when the mepibers met on May 24 in the rooms of Monument lodge at the Masonic temple to discuss the future, it was faced with the fact that from a financial standpoint it was starting all over again. Undaunted, however, Englewood instructed its trustees to submit plans for rebuilding the old or purchasing anew building. Meetings during June, July and August were held in the Irvington Masonic temple. During this time the trustees had submitted several possible alternatives to the lodge, and they finally were instructed to purchase the property at 2714 East Washington street, th pr oc ent location of the lodge. This was the original building which had been erected for Englewood in 1914. Funds soon were found for remodeling and refurnishing the new home, and on Sept. 6, 1927. the lodge held its first meeting there. During the same month Englewood conducted what was probably | the largest Masonic funeral in the history of Indianapolis when it administered the last rites for Samuel Lewis Shank, former mayor. It is the boast of Englewood lodge that never a member or child of a member has sought succor from the Indiana Masonic Home at Franklin. a a a OLDEST member of the lodge is Mr. Bayless, who is 82 and for fifty-three years has been a Mason. Despite his age he is active in lodge affairs and takes pride in his proficiency in ritualistc work. Present officers are: Lloyd M. Thompson, worshipful master; Charles F.

- —Conservatism — STATE TO GAIN IN RESTORATION OF KANKAKEE Refuge for Wild Life to Be Set Up in Swamp Unfit for Farming. BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Time* Special Write* Last w’eek we reviewed the national program of conservation. Now let us look at the state program to see how it gears in with the work outlined by the nation under the three bills passed by congress and about to become a law with the President’s signature. We are anticipating these bills will become laws as the President already has given them his indorsement. Under the allotment provided for game refuges, Indiana has had accepted by the Biological Survey under J. N. Darling, our beloved cartoonist known as Ding, the restoration of the old njsrsh land in the Kankakee drainage area. Ask any one of the old time duck hunters of your acquaintance about his recollection of English lake and the immense swamp that extended from North Judson southwesterly to the Illinois line nearly to Momence. Era of Slaughter This swamp was not only a resting place for ducks, but the breeding grounds of the more southern nesting varieties. I grant you that the idea of conserving anything had not entered the minds of the sportsman of that day, most of them were destructionists of the first water and prided themselves in their ability to slaughter. But they grew up and divorced themselves from the idea that to be a duck hunter one must fill a wagon with dead birds every hunt. They grew' up and taught us kids that to have hunting we must create the natural conditions for it or recreate them if they had been destroyed. Most of you are familiar with the old Kankakee marsh. In the nineties it w r as a sportsman’s paradise ranking at the top of the list with such famous hunting grounds as Thief river, St. Francis overflow', Illinois River flats, Currituck and Albermarle sounds and to it came the annual migration of millions of waterfowd. The drainage level w r as good and the water followed the dredge boats dowm the channels and the marsh went dry, dry as dust and the wild life left with the water. Drainage Took Wild Life That is what happened to the Kankakee. The old marsh w'as destroyed in the name of agriculture. ; Land hungry persons, engineers with more vision than foresight and lawyers with fat fees in the offing filed drainage petitions and a huge series of dredged ditches appeared on the face of the marsh. It would have been all right if the uncovered land was fertile, but it was not. In the drainage prism 90 per cent of the soil w r as chaffy and sandy, with no supporting subsoil. in a few years of cultivation the humus of the w-ater borne vegetation was plowed under and leached out. With the removal of the swamp cover the winds of adversity mournfully swept over the land and its owners. Farmers Lost All The heavy drain tax went delinquent, the mortgage loans fell due, farms w'ere abandoned and those that w'eie not, became yearly more difficult to farm profitably. Finally, more than 75.000 acres became distinctly submarginal and ; the owners subdued. To visualize this picture, scan the countryside as you travel to Chicago over route 41, beginning at Enos, thence north to the Kankakee bridge. Can you imagine any one spending money to drain the land around Bogus Island? I have maintained that as a sw r amp, the Kankakee would have returned to the state in profit and recreation treble its value as plowed land. We will now have the chance to prove the theory under the federal allotment of $2,500,000 to restore the old marsh. It will be used principally as a wild life reservoir protected at all times and from which there will spill annually a sufficient amount of game to satisfy the demands of the hunter. Fish May Return The old swamp was full of fish. I believe that with the return of water, the fish will come back and

D. A. R. Chapter Marks Anniversary of St. Clair

Tribute Paid to Patriot in Program Today at Krull Home. Two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Major-General Arthur St. Clair, Revolutionary war leader and first Governor of the northwest territory, was observed today by St. Clair chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in a meeting with Mrs. Frederic Krull, 4732 North Pennsylvania street. Feature ot the program was an address by Dr. Fletcher Hodges, direct descendent of Dr. Samuel Holden Parsons, one of the three judges who with St. Clair w r as chosen to set up a government in the northwest territory, the vast area destined to give the nation Indiana and surrounding states. St. Clair’s chapter program was the first held in Indiana in observance of the bicentennial. The chapter is believed to be the first organization to urge a national observance and is the leader in a movement for the erection of a St. Clair memorial and the issuance of a St. Clair stamp. The memorial suggested is a bronze tablet to be placed in Indianapolis. The stamp issue proposal has the indorsement of the Indiana organization of the D. A. R.; Indiana Sons of the American Revolution, Indiana Colonial Dames, Indiana Historical Society, the Indianapolis Stamp Club and organizations in other states that this place will be open to the fishermen within the reservation just as you can now fish in Yellowstone park to your heart's content. The old swamp was the breeding ground of millions of bass just as Reelfoot lake and the St. Francis overflow is now. It will again become the Indiana paradise for the bass fisherman. Finally, the restoration program will fit in to the nation’s demand to reduce farming land surplus. There is no advantage to any one, especially to the man behind the plow, to produce crops on land that will not pay the producer a surplus. If it takes all the man can produce to pay the cost of production and the overhead of drainage taxes the public obtains no benefit from that production. It took years .to learn this and the conversion of the Kankakee back to the purpose for which it was created is an answer to a part of the question at least. The whole plan fits in with the nation’s demand to limit production, to create new forests a id swamps, to prevent floods, to provide more space for outdoor persons in which the increased number of leisure hours may be spent healthfully and to bring back wild life that is nearly to the point of extinction.

embraced in the former northwest territory. Senator Frederick Van Nuys and Representative Louis Ludlow has placed the matter before the postoffice department. On the committee arranging for the memorial is Mrs. Ferris Taylor, a descendant of St. Clair. The street of that name honors a grandson, a member of the first vestry of Christ church. Another Indiana descendant was William Noble Wallace who was killed in action during the World war. St. Clair, born in Scotland. April 3, 1734, served in the British army prior to the American revolution and v. as with Wolfe at Quebec. He resigned his commission and became a pioneer in Pennsylvania. Returning to military life when the colonies opened their war for independence, he became a close and trusted friend of Washington. Lafayette and other great leaders of that period. Entering political life after the war, St. Clair became president, of the continental congress, having held that position when the ordinance of 1787, creating the northwest territory, was adopted. Clothed with wide powers, he governed the territory until Thomas Jefferson became president w r hen political differences cost him the office. Despite his brilliant service in both military and civil life, St. Clair died in poverty in 1818.

Pou, 71, North Carolina Democrat, early yesterday today brought adjournment of legislative business in the house and senate as tribute was paid to the veteran legislator, oldest member of the house in point of service. Legislation was sidetracked in order that funeral services for the dean of the house might be held. Mr. Pou. chairman of the powerful rules committee, died of a complication of diseases. He had been ill for several years, but his condition did not become serious until a few days ago. Mr. Pou served his first term in the house in the fifty-eighth congress. He was born in Tuskegee, Ala., on Sept. 9. 1863. educated at the Horner Military Academy and the University of North Carolina. He was elected chairman of the Democratic executive committee of his county in 1886. From that time on Mr. Pou was in the service of the nation. Tall, spare and bespectacled, ho was a silent, but important, factor in the proceedings of the house. His rules committee many times decided the fate of important legislation long before it reached the floor. His death brought expressions of regret from many members who served with him through the years. “I have lost a warm friend and a good colleague,” said Speaker Henry T. Rainey.
