Japan has stated she will continue her policy in the Manchurian area whether the league approves of it or not. The Japanese government has, however, as have all other nations of the world, suffered a reduced income from taxation these days and is in no position to carry on an aggressive military campaign of any moment. AT LAST IT'S COME TO THIS And the U. S. Navy department announces that the Atlantic and Pacific fleets will remain consolidated in Pacific waters until 1934 as "an economy measure." 1936 POSSIBILITIES With Franklin D. Roosevelt yet True to a prediction in The Journal last week, the grocers of Helper this week announce that on and after March 1, 1933, they will sell only for cash, and an announcement to that effect appears elsewhere in this issue. This decision wa3 arrived at Tuesday evening when grocers of this community gathered to discuss the ailments of their business and devise ways of remedying it. They have concluded a strictly cash basis is the only solution to the unsatisfactory credit method of the ra3t, and are seeking the cooperation of the public in this effort to stabilize their business. Grocers advise they will make reasonable concessions to those having back accounts which are overdue and will arrange to clean up these balances in a convenient manner. The .conduct of these businesses on a cash basis will eliminate the overhead encountered where credit is extended and should enable the merchants to offer values in foodstuffs which will average somewhat below the present price levels. It will take patrons a few weeks to accustom themselves to the new way of buying and paying cash for groceries, but it is believed they will find it more satisfactory and profitable after a fair trial.

Reeses of Price, in charge of RFC relief in Carbon county, advises this condition is general throut the United States and not just a condition within the state. Apparently costs of administration in some states have mounted above the anticipated level and the unlooked for drain on the RFC funds has caused the relief board to issue Instructions that the money shall be spent for direct relief only. Mr. Reese advises that thru the governor's relief committee he has learned that direct relief thruout the state is being well taken care of at this time.

G. McQuarrie, state commissioner of insurance, has just issued a warning to residents of the state to excercise discretion in the joining of societies which pay benefits at death. Mr. McQuarrie advises many of these organizations are springing up over the state, and summarizes the condition in the following letter: Warning to the Residents of the State of Utah. At the present time there are springing up in different parts ot the state associations formed for the purpose of providing benefits in the event of the death of members. We are not questioning the motive behind this movement. We are certain, however, that it is a mistake for any one to depend upon a fund to be paid to their beneficiaries where none of the safeguards of the law are applied for These societies their protection. are so organized and the provision for benefits so arranged that the promoters claim that it does not fall under the provision of the indemnity for the loss of life, or health, or property based upon a proportionate contribution either as a membership fee, an assessment or fixed premium in insurance and that it is undertaken as a matter of profit to the member. ' Benevolent societies which do not come under the law are societies such as churches and fraternal orders, etc., where the fortunate assist the unfortunate regardless of the amount of the contribution. If there is a desire on the part of the leading men of any particular section to engage in a movement of this kind, a law should be introduced to provide for it and to properly regulate it, something after the order of the fraternal law and it should not be attempted without definite provisions. J. C. McQuarrie, Commissioner of Insurance, State of Utah. The Journal recently refused to give favorable publicity for an organization of this kind which was seeking a foothold in Carbon county, altho we understand since the organization has been formed. The gentlemen seeking formation of the benefit association at that time failed to furnish The Journal with references which were satisfactory.
