YOUR SHOULDERTOrH WHEEL

THE unemployment conference at
L Washington was absolutely right
in its declaration that unemployment is
primarily a community problem: II
there is any one fault which may be
charged against the American people it
is the inclination in recent years to shift
local responsibilities and duties to the
National Government. We think thai
by shifting the burden we shall avoid
it, but such an assumption is the reverse
of the truth. Distance of management
means waste and increased overhead
costs. The easiest, quickest and cheap
est way to get things done, as rule, is
to have them done by local authorities
under the scrutiny of citizens and tax
payers who know the situation by per-
sonal knowledge and can check up on
efforts for relief and results attained.
It is we'll to recall the fable of the
teamster who, when his wagon was
stuck in the mud, despaired of getting
it out and sent for help. A pssserby
suggested "Put your shoulder to the
Wheel" which, when tried, proved all
that was necessary.

GERMAN COMPETITION

LIT takes more than price cutting to
1 win and hold an export market
permanently" declares DR.. Julius
Klein, chief of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, who scouts
the assertions that Germany is running
this country out of foreign markets,
and whose optimism concerning our
foreign trade is infectious.
''The fear of German competition ap-
pears to be one of the dominating in
fluences in the minds of persons who
have been voicing apprehensions Of dis
aster'' continues DR.. Klein. 'They
have visions of German merchandise
flooding foreign markets and being
eagerly welcomed at prices with which
the American manufacturers, with their
high production costs and appreciated
currency, will not be able to compete.
But Government experts who have in
vestigated this troublesome problem in
all its phases consider the German com.
mercial menace as specter whose ca
pacity for harm has been distinctly ex-
aggerated. Quality, delivery terms,
and credit arrangements are three vi
tally important factors, and these must
be taken into account in analyzing
vague reports concerning German sue
cess. A marked deterioration in Ger
man goods is reported by foreign repre-.
sentatives of the Department of Com
merce-the German necessity of pur.
chasing foreign raw materials for Ger.
tain industries tends to offset the sup.
posed advantage of the deprecated
mark exchange, when the resulting
manufactured goods are offered in for.
eign markets. 1t should be borne in
mind, moreover, that American export.
ers are incomparably better prepared tc
meet German competition now thar
they were before the war-having the
benefit of seven years of practical ex
perience and success"

health return. The new rich blood gets

Of fact, there are a score of earth

"The eastern part of the United

earthquakes. The only severe ones
felt hereabouts since New England
was settled were In 1888, In 1727 and
In 1855, with a much lesser one In
1872.
The shock of 1927 was so vigorous
that sermons were preached on "A
