UNEMPLOYMENT AT LOW EBB

WASHINGTON. July 18-(AP)— Franeis Perkins, United States Labor Secretary said today that registered unemployment was the lowest in ‘the history of thaUnlted States employment service last month and that private placement of workers was the second highest of record. She said 224,692 priv- ate jobs had been filled by the service in June.

Formal Apology

The JBDanese asserted the Chi- nese Commander offered formal apology for the "Lukouchiao inci- dent", the clash between Japanese troops and part of the Chinese 29th Army west of Peiplng the M81111 “of July 7 which gave rise to the Sine-Japanese crisis.

General Sung refused to sign anything but the Japanese said they accepted his oral assurances his 29th Army would evacuate the area west of Peiping where the trouble started. He also promised. according to the Japanese. he would dismiss several officers ltlow the

Irank of regimental commander

and declared suppression of anti- Japanese movements and of Com- munism continued to be his set- tled policy.

These statements were accepted as meeting Japan's four demands, evacuation. punishment, suppres- sion of anti-Japanese movements and cooperation with Japan in fighting Communism.

'I'ile conference entrusted Gen- erals Hashimoto and Chang with arranging for execution of details.

General Katsuki informed’ the Chinese that Japanese troops would remain in the area between Peiping and the Yungting River until the Chilese fulfilled all oozi- dltions oi the agreement.

Also, he said, they would stay until the Nanking Government withdraws all elements of the Central Army from Hopeh Prov- ince.

Trains for Shanhaikwan, on the Manchurian border, brought to Tiontsin the second large Japan- ese troops ccntlngent of the move- ment into North China. More trains were expected tonight.

Japanese authorities indicated their total reinforcements, includ- ing those already arrived. would be about 12,000 officers and men, to be added to the 7.000 in the Pcip- ing-Tientsin region before the crisis arose.

’ Factories W 0 r k i n g Overtime t0 Supply Modern D efence Requirements— New Ships Develop- ed.

B’; EDWIN s. JOHNSON Canadian Press Stat‘! Writer LONDON, July 18—Great Brit.- ain. for generations dependent on naval might for the defence other shores and protection of the Eln- pirels trade lanes, _is emerging from the present phase of her gigantic re-armamentprogramwith another powerful protective arln- an air force comparing favorably with that of any other power in the world. .

Established aviation firms and “shadow" factories throughout the United Kingdom have been work- ing overtime since the defensive program was launched, turning out aircraft of every type, acces- sories and equipment. Mass pro- duction in the ordinary sense of the term cannot be attained in modern airplane production, asthe rapid progress of the art defies standardization. Methods, however, have been devised making rapid “quantity“ production possible with the result that output is climbing day by day.

Lead During war

During the war Great Britain was ill the van of aircraft con- structlon, performance and re- search. But tremendous strides have been made in the past 20 years. Today. some of the craft that performed so efficiently dur- ing the war are ‘classified as “crates" compared with the latest models.

One expert has said that to lik- en the service ‘plane of the last war to the modern military craft would be tantamount to compar- ing the present-day cruiser to the wooden nlan-of-lvar in the battles of more than 100 years ago.

Only a few weeks ago Britain paraded a portion of her air might before thousands of spectators at Hendon Airdrome. Machines of every size and type were put through daring evolutions, invert- ed flying ill close formation, mass parachute- descents, mock ail-duel- ling and bombing by means of latest devices.

Large Air Fleet

The supreme moment sol the pageant, however, was the ap- pearallce of the largest formation ever ‘assembled in the United Kingdom —250 airplanes which spread over half a square mile of sky, flying the air with thethun- cler of 200.000 horsepower.

The spectators had seen enough to realize that Britain was a real power in the air and ready for any eventuaiities. But what they saw in action was only a foretaste of what they may be shown inaycar or so, for in a small enclosure on the field, guarded by aircraftsmen with fixed bayonets, were a iewof the latest air force wonder craft. examination of which at close range was denied to all except a chosen few.

The Air Ministry, however, has lifted partially tllc veil of secrecy concerning the performances and armaments of these machines. Two are medium bombers, the Fairy Battle and the Bristol Blenheim, and two others heavy bombers, the Handley Page Harrow and the
