JINGOIST PROPAGANDA
Ho0uey,s Lieutenant Bids for Workers

Energetic propaganda intended to
bring the American workers to the
support of the aggressive imperial
list expansion of American foreign
commerce, is being conducted by
DR.. julius Klein, the lieutenant of
Hoover, in control of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
The American workers will be
asked to support the programs of
naval construction and imperialist
conquest in Latin America on the
basis of the following argument,
presented by Klein in his annual re-
port:
"Should our foreign commerce
suddenly be cut off it would mean
not merely displacement of great
army of workers, with it's rebound
on their families and dependents,
but such a shock to industry, such
severe depression, as would throw
out of employment also hundreds of
thousands of those who are produc-
ing for purely domestic consump-
ton"
Klein declares that "The welfare
of all our people is bound up in our
exports" Foreign sales of farm
products of the United States repre-
sent one-seventh of the total agri-
cultural production. In the case of
wheat, cotton and tobacco, the
proportion exported is far greater.
Of the 100000 workers on the
farms, Klein asserts, at least 1885,

on the Communists, and the follow
ing day the delegates listened to an
address by Paul McNutt, chief of
the American Legion, who urged the
A. F. of L. to support the proposed
universal draft law" providing for
the wartime CONSUMPTION of labor.
Pretending that the proposed law
prevents profiteering, McNutt said
that the last war created new
millionaires equalling the number
of Americans killed in the war. The
Legion commander sought to obtain
the A. F. of LIS support for the
War Departments plan to conscript
labor under the pretext that it will
conscript wealth. McNutt was fol-
lowed by Col. join C. Ross of the
United States army, who told the
A. F. L. delegates that "we are pre-
pairing for war because that is what
the army exists for" These mill
taristic speeches found an echo in
the A. F. of L. The Metal Trades
Department endorsed the naval bill
providing for fifteen new cruisers.
No Plan to Organize.
AS at previous conventions, the A.
F. of L. officials raised the slogan of
organizing the unorganized. Point
ing to the discomfort of the unor-
ganized workers, Green urged the
delegates to double the member
ship" of the A. F. of L. by 1929. He
urged the organization of mass in
dustries, especially automobiles. A
resolution to that effect was passed
at last years convention, but so far
there have been no results. The
Executive Council urged the restric-
ton of immigration from Latin
America and the Philippines, accus-
ing the GROIN Regional Fedora
ton of Labor of Mexico) of failing
to fulfill its agreement to restrict
Mexican emigration to the United
States. Various delegates to the
convention complained that the Chi

GET READY FOR BUSINESS


That business men view 1925
with a great deal of optimism is
indicated by the rush of new cor
poratlons TO qualify. Secretary
OF State j. Grant Hinkle expected
a growth of business with the COM
ing OF the new year but the flood
Of new companies is greater than
anticipated, Inquiries indicate the
rush is to continue. Some filings.
II is conceded, are due to the fact
that many people believe the IL
eense and calendar years are ident-
zeal. The fact is that the license
year for corporations end June so
50 new companies will pay twice
in 1928.

The slump in annual automobile
license demand came this year
when The first quarter million of
new permits had been issued. Del
wing into actual figures license de-
partment officials found the rush
fell off about 400 applications
short of last years first big sag.
However the early automobile
rush this year brought in more
money than did the stampede of

The ferry building for the wash

transportation and better trans
portation is what We want. 1t is
the main factor in the building Of
the Islands prosperity.
AS Seattle grows and exten
its boundaries the population Will
be spread farther afield, and fast
and frequent communication VIII
enable the Island TO absorb some
OF the increase in population.
Progress sometimes seems slow
but when you look back to things
as they were 20 years ago it is
evident that there has been a
steady growth all along tbe line,
and further growth Will be in pro
portion TO the extension of trans
portation.
Take railroads, for instance. the
builders realized that to wait tn
there was population and busi-
ness TO make the lines Il pqying

added. "Farmers who sell their
wheat without regard for the mark

that large production usually has an
unduly depressing influence on
prices early in the season, and a
subsequent upward corrective tend
