There is a word of sensible warn
ing to labor as whole in the New
ark speech which may well be heed
ed. After reviewing the remarkable
progress made by the great body of
workers in recent years, Mr.. Hoover
said "At such a time as this a
change in national policies involves
not-as some may lightly think
only a choice between different
roads by either of which we may go
forward, but a question also as to
whether we may not be taking the
wrong road and moving backward.
The measure of our national pros
perity, of our stability, of our hope
of further progress at this time, is
the measure of what we may risk
through a change in present poll
cies." In other words, to use that
expression which Abraham Lincoln
made famous, "Don't swap horses
while crossing a stream"

THE POLITICAL PARADE
By Harry r. RIackmon

A man who started his career
swinging a pick as laborer in the
mines of California and Nevada has
a bond of sympathy with workers in
general which mere political train
ing could never give him. Such an
understanding was manifest in Her
bert Hoover's labor speech at New
ark, N. j., in which he convinced
thousands of listeners that his hopes
for the abolition of poverty are not
idle visions by any means.
A president who could visualize
the problems confronting one great
section of this countTys population
so clearly might reasonably be ex-
pected to make great strides toward
their solution.
His views on the stimulation of
the supply of leadership, relations Of
worker and employer ind increased
national efficiency, come with added
force from the individual chiefly re-
sponsible for the actual saving of
$300,000,000 annually by American
industry through simplified practice,
worked out under his guidance as
Secretary of Commerce.
Recollection of first impressions
is always interesting, particularly
when it relates to one who has sub
sequently risen to greatness. The es-
innate which Walter Hines Page, as
American ambassador at London,
placed upon Herbert Hoover shortly
after he had taken charge of Belgian
relief in 1914, was expressed in a
letter to Woodrow Wilson, as fol-
lows: "He's simple, modest and
energetic man, who began his ca
reer in California and will end it in
Heaven, and he doesn't want any
body's thanks"
That terse observation was in
cluded in a memorandum which Am
Page forwarded to Presi-
dent Wilson in 1916. The same mes
sage contains one other comment
which is extremely interesting,
"He was approached on behalf of
the British government with the |
suggestion that if he would become
a British subject, the government .
would be pleased to give him an i'm
portant executive post and with the
hint that if he succeeded q title
might await him." Ambassador Page
told President Wilson, continuing
his description of Hoover. /
"His answer was: 'I'll do what I
can to help you with pleasure; but
I'll be damned if I'll give up MY
American citizenship-not on your
ife.'"
In this connection it might be re-
called that Ambassador Page was a
North Carolina Democrat, and a
unprejudiced witness.

VALLEY SPUDS

Continued from page one)
Ihe situation is one that de-
mnndS concerted action on the
part of Valley consumers. Every
housewife should realize that every
pound Of California potatoes pur-
chased means a loss to Valley
growers. Every hotel, cafe and
restaurant should make il a point
TO serve Valley potatoes only and
10 inform their patrons that they
are serving the Valley product,
which is in every respect superior
to the white potato of the west
coast.
Scores of Valley farmers placed
potatoes in storage at Weslaco
when the Eastern and Northern
markets collapsed during the peak
Of the potato shipping season. They
were under the impression that the
Valley would prefer
Valley products and the outside
markets would improve. They had
no thought that the Valley con-
sumers would demand California
potatoes % the extent that four "a
five cars would he shipped into
this section each week while the
Valley potatoes were permitted 10
remain in storage. to be thrown
away unless the consumers come
10 the rescue Of the growers.
Very few Valley potatoes get into
the California markets, although the
Valley products goes onto the mar
ket two 10 three weeks the earliest.
Californians are loyal 20 their own
state. They demand California
products, and insist that every dol
lar that can be kept in the state
be retained there.
