LTF F labor revolution ever comes
- in this country" said William
E. Sweet, Governor Of Colo
i RADIO, ''it will not como from
the foreign-born immigrant
but from the two-fisted, red-blooded
miner whose ancestors drove across
the prairies in the gold-rush days and
who uses a rifle as we'll as he does
a pick. Tho immigrant can't talk
with his fellows, can't organize. and
the idea of imported red workers
stirring up labor war in the United
States is a bugaboo.'
Gov. Sweet had come down to his
office in the State Capitol at s
o'clock-long before the hour which
the governors union seems to have
established for going to work-to
talk to me about labor feuds in Colo
rado.
Revolutionary talk of any kind
is all bosh, however" continued the
governor. "The people of the nited
States are about as safe, sane and
far from revolution as the King of
England is from abdication. And /
can prove that by the State Of Colo
rado. Colorado is the labor barome-
ter of the country. 1t has been rid
died like a sieve with the bullets of
capital-labor wars, and when 1T is
serene you can De cure all y "eii WITH
labor in the U. S. A"
Say. What He Thinks
There is not much of gubernatorial
cautiousness about Sweet. 1 found
that out Immediately. He says what
he thinks, and says it with the punch
of a Westerner and a business man.
That's natural, perhaps, for his bond
business is said to have netted him
a cool million before he deserted 1t
for the adventurous game of politics.
Things were he'll here in the old
days" doomed the governor, appar-
entity forgetting he was president OF
Denver's Y. NJ. C. A. And both
sides were to blame. Rockefeller ad-
mitted it when he came out here to
settle the Ludlow fight.
Bill Haywood, once leader of the
miners, is now working with the
Soviet in Russia, which shows how
radical labor was in those days.
There was not much to choose
between them. They both believed
in direct action. The workers labeled
it the MARKHAM theory and used dyna-
mite. The mine operators called 1t
protection and used troops. Actually
it was ciYil war.
What the Square Deal Did.
THAT two classes of people SO
widely separated, SO deeply SCARED
by hate and bitterness. should now
be working together harmoniously
is nothing short of miraculous. 1t
is proof that fair play eventually
dominates in our American system
of society 1t is proof that. no mat
ter how black things may look today,
when we compare them with yester-
day they look rosy.
To-day our mines are operated
about as peacefully as Quaker
meeting" (Gov. Sweet, incidentally,
attended q Quaker college.)

Of such a declaration at the present

eighth place, occupied sixth place in
1928, having taken As per cent of this
country's exports last year. Exports
to Cuba in 1923 were so per cent
greater than in 1922. Cuba occupied
third place last year among the lead
ing suppliers of this country's pur-
chases abroad.
Trade Greatly Incrensed.
Cuba with it's sugar. along with
the British East Indies, from which
came rubber and grass fibers, and
China, from which came silk, each
sent a greater value of goods to
the United States last year than any
European country except Great
Britain. Among other Latin Amer
lean countries exports from the
United States to Chile last year
registered a gain of 40 per cent over
1922, and to Argentina 13 per cent.
Imports from Argentina and Cuba
were three times as great in value
in 1923 as the 1904 pre-war aver
age. The same applies to exports to
Cuba
With the increase of popula alton
in all of the Latin American coun-
tries, with the development Of their
resources and their increasing de-
mands for manufactured products of
all kinds from household utensils
and clothing to farm and mining i'm
plements and high-class electrical
machinery. locomotives and automo-
biles and so forth, there will be a
growing field for the products of the
factories and the mills of the United
States. Those countries, in turn, can
supply in increasing quantities the
raw products which are demanded
by industry here. The Importance
OF this trade and of the establish
ment of close and friendly CONNER
cial relations with all the American
republics can scarcely be overem-
phasized.

STUDY SHOWS GREAT GAIN
FORLABOR In BRITISH VOTE
Loss of Seats More Than Offset by Cain
in Size of Electorate and Ousting
of Liberal Party.
BY FRANK III. SINONDS.

r 7 war perhaps inevitable that the
American Interpretation of the
returns of the recent British
i election should present a Labor
defeat and Tory victory.
Obviously on the face of the
results, measured by the yard
stick of seats captured in the House
of Commons, this judgment was cor
rect. Nevertheless, it has now be-
come fairly clear that in Great
Britain there is general recognition
of the facts that the Labor party, SO
far from suffering a disaster, has
made gains of a striking character.
1t is by comparing the vote of the
two major parties in the recent cleo
tions, rather than by measuring seats,
that one must estimate the real
strength of Labor and its gains.
Looking. back over 25 years, which
cover the history of the Labor party,
tho statistics of vote and seats are
as follows:

On the basis OF proportional repre-
sentation Labor would have had in
the last House of Commons approxi-
mately $50 seats, 1t had 1872. On the
same basis it would have in the new
House 100 seats. and it has $50. The
Tories who polled around 100000
votes captured some 400 seats, but
on the basis of the vote they were
entitled to but 263. Labor, then. in
the last election, gained a little less
than 100000 votes and lost some 40
seats, whereas a year ago it gained
but $4,000 votes, but increased its
holding by 40 seats.
