izen, advocating the embargo idea, said to 1.-The
Oasis" editor one day last week: "An embargo upon
shipments to Europe for period of six months
would bring prices down to normal in the United
States and then perhaps Europe will get the goods
cheaper than now" From personal knowledge
'The Oasis" can state that in Hernosillo the Cruz
Galvez technical school, make and puts upon the
market at retail price of eight dollars per pair
gents shoe that one better costs twelve dollars
per pair in Nogaes The Eastern factory has such
sale in Europe for its shoes that it taxes the Amer
lean distributor price which compels him to charge
twelve dollars per pair in Nogales. The Herno-
sio producer cannotrreachs the European market.
Hthe:Cruz Calves schoolshop can sell shoes at a
price that puts them to the consumer at eight dol
lars the American mmanufacturer can do SO likewise;
and six months embargo would force him to do
so, says the advocate Of that method Of procedure
Again, in this matter of supplying Europe, are
newspaper offices flooded with special articles des
cribing famine conditions there prevailing, and the
need for the United States to feed starving Europe
Who pays for those articles? Only Sunday last
'The Oasis ran one which said that Mr. Hoover de-
clares that the work of feeding starving Europe
has but just begun. That article came to "The
Oasis office in a shipment of plate sent without
point to this very editorial which shaped itself in
theeditoral mind when the box Of plate matter came
to the attention of the editorial department.
Why is that the United States must feed Eur
ope? Where are the vast quantities Of wheat that
accumulated in Australia and South America all
during the war; that could not be transported to
Europe on account of scarcity of bottoms to trans
port it from those far off lands? One of the ex.
cuses for high prices of wheat and flour was that
all the shipping available was needed to send men
and munitions to France. Men and munitions stop
ped going across eleven months ago, and all the men
sent over have returned to the United States, while
Canadian Australian and New Zealand contingents
in the British army have returned to their own
countries All that movement no longer neces-
sary should have released hundreds of steamships
to 60 to the Antipodes after the grain that was
stored there through four years, and relieve some
of the demand for American breadstuffs
In the face of facts that come to the fore re-
gardess of organized effort to suppress them, and
in the face Of organized propaganda distorting
other facts there is arising demand which is be-
coming persistent to Supply America First"

Business and industry are making headway
not withstanding the want of cooperation from
the Republican Congress. The progressive laws en-
acted by Democratic Congresses in the last eight
years are still effective.

Saint Paul wrote to the first Christian congre-
cation at Rome: "Let every man be persuaded in
his own mind" And that is just what is wanted
now by the American people in this League of Ma
tions proposition.
