Japan Wants to Know
Why Valiant Nordics
Deported Mill Hands

SALEM, Ore.-(FP)-The Japanese
government has demanded an official
investigation of the deportation Of
Japanese sawmill 'laborers from To
ledo, Ore, last summer. Unemploy-
ment was a factor. The $4,000 dam
age suit filed by the Japanese against
several Toledo citizens will be tried
in the federal court at Portland
White men have been doing the
work ever since the deportation.
Company officials had charged that
whites were unwilling to do the
work and japanese had therefore been
employed.

and $19.1S in June, 1914. The increase
over last October amounts to Sc per

Canadian Asbestos

MONTREAL-(FP)-The directors
of the various asbestos companies Of
Canada have completed plans for a
merger and the price of asbestos has
gone up. The consolidation will in
clude all producing mines in Quebec,
except three controlled by American
firms which produce raw material and
manufacture it into finished articles.
The chief promoters of the merger,
Dillon Read & Co., New York, have
made "a satisfactory arrangement
with the three independent firms to
prevent dumping surplus products on
the markets." Quebec furnishes about

Average weekly

This lag in office wages meant a
serious reduction in the living stan
dards of whitecollar workers. In the
winter of .91S-1919 they were forced
to meet 20 per cent increase in the
cost of living with wages up only 26
per cent, in 1920 a 100 per cent in
crease in living costs with wages
averaging only about AZ per cent over
1914. Such wages could purchase less
than y of the goods and services to
which their prewar earnings had ac-
customed them. Today office workers
have just about caught up with the
prewar standard while factory work
ers have materially improved their
position.

WILL MOVE U. S.
JOBS TO ITALY
And TO GERMANY
Will Leave Workers
Here Unemployed

Conquest of German economic terri
tory by the American financial empire
is proceeding at an amazing rate, ac-
cording to a Berlin correspondent of
the London Daily Herald. He cites
conservative estimates indicating that
American capital in Germany, exclu-
sive of the Dawes loan, is rapidly ap-
preaching the half billion dollar mark.
These loans at high rates of interest
will probably be converted into shares
of stock because they cannot be re-
paid when they mature. Conversion to
shares means control.
A recent example of this transfer of
control to American f1nanciers is the
capture by Harriman-Anaconda copper
interests of Germany's zinc produc-
ton. The German government is still
wrangling with Hartman over this
coup but American bankers have the
power to force satisfactory settle
ment.
The Daily Herald correspondent al
so makes the important suggestion
that along with this American policy
of economic penetration into Germany
runs a definite Wall Street policy of
using Germany as an agent for Amer
lean economic penetration into the
Soviet Union. 1t is no secret" he
says, that the SIS, 100000 credit which
was granted to Russia by German
banks was partly provided by Amer
lean banks"
The international outlook of Amer
lean capital appears in an interview
given to Mussolini's paper, II Popolo
d'Italia by C. w. Barron, owner of
The Wall Street Journal and other
financial papers.
Barron frankly faVors the shipment
of American ore and coal to Italy to
be made into steel in Italian mills
because her people have a lower
level of wages than we have in the
United States and she could make
steel cheaper than we can make it,"
Cheap transportation of the raw ma
terials can be had by Italian ships be-
cause Italian sailors are also low
paid.
Here is open advocacy of shift of
jobs from the United States to Italy.
If bankers can't keep down wages
here by importing Italian labor they
can export some of our employment
to Italian workers in Italy, financed,
Of course largely by American capital;
for Barron believes that financial
and banking relations between the
United States and Italy are going to
be very much closer and that in due
time millions more of American money
will flow into Italy"

at the underpass in Kensington, q
new drain having been established
1t is expected that this will prevent
tho overflow of water into the I'm

Part of the roadway at the pass
had to be dug up in order to reach
the seat of the trouble and it was
found, upon examination that tho
drain pipe had been broken, presum-
ably when the watermains were laid
few years ago. This broken main
has caused the water to back up
into the street, causing considerable
