The story of the Los Angeles
metal workers strike is unique.
1t is the first time capitalist In
the west has cared so much for a
dollar and so little for men that he
~'ould scoop up the scum of the orr
ent. at personal loss to himself for
time, and use them to beat down
free skilled American workers to a
rice and disease wage scale.
Craig came out of the east to
Long Beach to found shipbuilding
plant. Long Beach provided him a
subsidy to come. Skilled shipbuild-
ers came and were employed. and
then came Japs, who smiled and
lived in novels. and worked 10 hours
day for half what an American
with a family demands.
Always Craig kept cutting down
the scale, always he kept pushing
Japs to the front, until his skilled
workers, the men who made his
ships. the men who came across the
continent to help him build great
industry. in sheer desperation, or
ganized, presented their demands
for square deal and not getting
anything. walked out, leaving Craig
and his Japs.
That was months ago, the skilled
Americans are still on their strike.

THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 FOREIGN SERVICE, ETC.

All these tariff negotiations SO vital 10 our commerce. and industry and the duty of jealously guarding the equitable and just treatment of our products. capital and industry abroad devolve upon the department of state The efforts of the department of state to secure for citizens of the United States equal opportunities in the mar kets of the world and to expand Am erican commerce have been most sue cessful. The volume of business ob- tained in new fields of competition and upon new lines is already very great and congress is urged to con tinue to support the department of state in it's cndeavors for further trade expansion.
 Our foreign trade merits the best support of th" government and the most earnest cndeavor oi our mInu- facturers and merchants who. ir they do not already in all eases need a foreign market are certain soon tn become dependent on it Therefore. now is the time to secure a strong po- sition in this field.
 | cannot leave this subject without emphasizing the necessity of such legislation as will make possible and convenient the establishment of Am erican banks and branches of Ameri- can banks in foreign countries DnN by such means can our foreign trade be faVorably financed, necessary cred its be arranged and proper avail made "f commercial opportunities in for eign countries and most especially in Latin America.
 Another instrumentality indispcnsa- ble to the unhampcr red and natural de- velopment of American commerce is merchant marine. All maritime and commercial nations recognize the inn portance of this factor The great est commercial nations. our competi- tors. jealously foster their merchant marine Perhaps nowhere is the need for rapid and direct r-~il. passenger and freight communication quite so urgent as between the United States and Latin America. We can secure in no other quarter of the world such immediate benefits in friendship and commerce as would flow from the es- tablishment of direct lines of commun- ication with the countries of Latin America adequate to meet the re quirements of rapidly increasing appreciation of the reciprocal depend ence of the countries of the western hemisphere upon each others pro- ducts. sympathies and assistance.
 l alluded to this most important subject in my last annuai message: it has often been before you and l need not rcCapitulate the reasons for it's recomme ndation. Unless prompt ac- ton he taken the completion of the Panama canal will find this the only great commercial nation unable to avail itself in international maritime business of this great contribution to the means of the worlds commercial intercourse.
 Quite aside from the commercial as pect unless we create d merchant marine. where can we find the sea faring population necessary as a natural naval reserve and where could we find. in case "f war. the transports and subsidiary vessels without which a naval fleet is arms without body?
