...departments of Government appears to be zooming. Every regular department of the Government shows substantial increases in its costs for 1937 over 1936 and 1935. The Departments of Agriculture (not including AAA), Commerce, Interior, the nonmilitary activities of the War Department, and independent offices all will spend more than twice as much in fiscal 1937 as they nominally spent in fiscal 1935. Labor and Navy will spend over 75% more. The "regular establishments" as a group-exclusive of veterans' pensions, interest on the public debt, AAA, CCC-are to spend $2,586,000,000 in fiscal 1937 as compared...

For instance, in 1930 farm people had twice as many children per 1000 women 15 to 45 years of age as did the cities...
...Makino. As Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal for ten years, trusted adviser and old friend to Emperor Hirohito, he has frequently stood off the more rabid proposals of the militarists. He is a standard name on every Japanese patriot's list marked for assassination, has been bombed twice. Last week Count Makino surrendered to the unceasing pressure brought against him by the Army men, pleaded a bad case of neuritis, resigned as Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. The Emperor gave the job to the man Makino suggested: Viscount Admiral Makoto Saito, 77, one-time Premier. This tough...
