Population Tops Japan In Density The State of New Jersey has a larger population for a square mile than has Japan, according to John E. Sloane, member of the New Jersey State Planning in a talk over Station WOR.

Sloane based his remarks on figures he said had been compiled by the planning board. The average density of population in New Jersey, he said, is 569 persons a square mile, as compared with 277 for New York, 220 for Pennsylvania and 43 for the country as a whole. In 1935, he added, it was estimated that 83.5 per cent of the State's total population were city dwellers.

yf' A i Good evening! ou Said It, Jim! There would have been no Assembly of the Unoccupied, no mixup in relief finance that is making New Jersey the laughing stock of the nation, if Governor Hoffman and Mayor Hague had taken a vacation in the very begin ning of the snan. That these two eminent gentlemen take a walk, an exoous anu a votauwi, -niir fnr two weeks, and keep hands off the State Legislature, is the suggestion of James V. Moran, of Camden, president of the New Jersey Sales Tax Repeal Association. Jim suggests the State appropriate $1000 to be known as "the Hoffman-Hague special vacation fund" the money to be used to finance a two-weeks' cruise to the West Indies or Bermuda. "We believe," Moran said, "that removed from the type of political pressure these two leaders are exerting with Governor Hoffman intent on a sales tax no matter what its terrible effect on business and New Jersey citizens, and Mayor Hague playing his own political game, the strategy of which even his own lieutenants cannot fathom, a satisfactory solution of the relief problem could be arrived at speedily.

"This entire imnasse is the product of the influence of these two politically minded men wno are trie mvisiDie government of New Jersey. I "We bfllieve that xinnn scent to remove thpm frnm the legislative scene for the next two weeks would be the best investment this State ever made." If the members of the Assembly of the Unoccupied, or more specifically, those who cooked up the unique idea of holding a mock Assembly, anticipated publicity, they have not been disappointed. The newspapers have played the thing up to the king's taste. That little or no real disorder has come from the plan is indeed surprising. Excepting for one fellow calling an assemblyman a liar, all has been sweetness and light between the regularly elected cgislators and the mock legislators.

Chief Collard, of the State House Police, actually has praised the saying: "The unem-P oyed have certainly acted Me gentlemen throughout their mnrlr oaccinn have cooperated in everything' I have asked them to do the most splendid way." New Jersey, at least, is mart enough to avoid a recurrence of the Battle of Anacosta, where President Hoover called out General MacArthur to forcibly drive S5B "employed from their flit, Vn the Washington than do anythg else tumorous, is to play nght the hands of pn fess onal or habitual agitators lurking behind the scenes. i he legislative leaders are 2L- 8 stamPeded into aaoptmg any new taxes hur- Eiy- Thev are ding anTwWows in Newark, whL is no doubt that iX" the new tax bills are wn iUCed' with them vin or less of a reaping of the tax system 1 effect, applying to Kff budSts aYwell as the Plan is to municipali- state nV Dy the ftain costs to pro-eventual easing of the tax, adoption of I 4 oflPcofts and tight iip.biLr covering iV wO.
