Ell EPa. Will the United States
govepSAt avowedly abandon its
traditi1al hanos s-off attitude toward
business to meet an international
trade war?
This possibility was suggested by
Herberg Hoover, secretary Of COM
merce, in an address to business men
here on the new trade policy Of for
eign governments.
These countries are fixing the price
of raw material Of which they have a
monopoly The system is a develop
ment Of war times when government
control checked boarding and prof
iteering. AS an aid to their business
men, the foreign governments have
established themselves in certain in
dustries and increased prices and linn
it production of their monopolized
raw material.
These combinations, said Secretary
Hoover, exist in coffee, silk, nitrate,
potash, rubber, quinine, iodine, tin,
sisal, some dyestuffs, quicksilver, cer-
tain extracts for tanning leather and
other raw material not produced in
the United States. This country

Leaving Aliens
Almost Equal
New Entries
Germany Leads Arrivals With
6,296 and 1856 Italians
Leave For Home

New York; During the months of
July and August, 22,421 aliens enter
ed the Unit ID States, and 1928
aliens returned to their native lands.
the gain in alien population was,
therefore, only 6,098- about 1-2Oth of
the normal gain for the same period
during the years before the quota i'm
migration law was placed on the
statute books.
The gain during July and August
was almost entirely from the north
and west of Europe, according to
Labor Department reports.
Germany led the list with 6,296 ar
rivals and only 835 departures. Then
came the Irish Free State with 1869
arriving and 246 leaving. Scotland
and England were third and fourth,
respectively, but the departures for
England almost balanced the arrivals.
The italian population is decreas-
ing, 1,243 arriving during the two
months, while 1856 departed.
The quota law does not apply to
countries in the western hemisphere.
Of these, Canada was by far the larg-
est contributor, with 1856 immi-
grants and only 421 departures.
The influx from Mexico is evident
ly slowing up. Only 4,989 came in,
while 48S went out.

Alien Property
May Surpass
Teapot Dome
Former Custodian Thomas w
Miller Is Indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury

Washington = The indictment of
Thomas w. Miller, former alien prop
erty custodian, by New York fed
eral grand jury, has possibilities of
scandal that may dwarf the Teapot
Dome upheaval. The indictment has
to do with German property in this
country that was seized by the United
States to stop it from falling into the
hands of the central powers during
the war. The property was suppos-
ed to be returned when peace was
declared.
Miller is charged with bribery in
volving approximately half million
dollars, but the indictment may be
but the opening wedge in scandal
that may include influential members
of both parties. Behind the indict-
ment are stories of factional strug-
giles in the administration party with
senatorships and governorships as
prizes.
Miller was known in Washington
as one of the "Ohio crowd" follow
ing the Harding Inauguration. In
cluded in the crowd We're Attorney
General Daugherty and Secretary of
the Interior Fall, both of whom were
forced to resign from the cabinet,
following the oil exposures; Colonel
Forbes of the veterans bureau, who
was convicted of graft charges; Jesse
Smith, pal of Daugherty, who COM
mitted suicide, and Elmer Dover, who
was ousted from the treasury depart
ment.
The value of the alien property is
placed at $600,000,000. Much of this
has passed into private hands or has
been wasted by fee-grabbing lawyers
and politicians.
AS several senators and represen-
tatives have publicly denounced these
methods, congressional investiga-
ton seems inevitable.

spends $8O0,0O0,000 annually for i'm
ports of material controlled by for
eign governments.
Secretary Hoover said that if it
were necessary to adopt retaliatory
measures this country could revise its
traditional policy of competition on
the basis of production and encourage
the establishment of combinations
with the view of getting back COM
pensating amounts from helpless con-
Gumer nations" Or, in other words,
gouge those nations that insist on
gouging us.
The speaker gave an insight of
how international business is braided
up with international politics and
diplomacy.
He said that every day for the past
year our government has received
complaints from American business
men against the policy of other gov
ernments.
"And at once" said Secretary Hoov-
er, 1--WE have higgling of merchants
lifted to the plane of international re-
lations, with all of its spawn Of crit
icism and hate"

Many Stayed Away

The number of votes cast last
Tuesday is a striking evidence
Of the apathyzor downright laz-
mess existing among the, voters
of Newark, many of whom are
too Indifferent to the welfare of
their own town to walk across
the street to cast their ballot.
Upwards of $4,000 names arc
ON the registration books, while
but 10,453 votes were cast for
the three candidates for mayor
which shows that close to four
thousand were too Indifferent
to exercise their right of citi-
zenship. 1t is more than prob
able that these same absentees
Were the loudest in ranks of the
lqickers over the result of the
Election, just like the boys who
lstay away from their union
Injecting and howl about every
thing the old regulars do.

Weekly Gets Another Broadside From

industrial policy of the company with

Many thousands of dollars are be-
