ST. Petersburg, Fla. (ILNS)-It
wasn't the stock market that created
the serious unemployment situation;
unemployment was serious long be-
fore the stock market crashed. 1t
has merely become more acute since
then.
That was the opinion expressed to-
day by President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor as
the view sustained by the executive
council in session here, after pre-
liminary survey of the situation and
on the basis of monthly returns to
the federation.
President Green drew particular
attention to the talking picture, with
its displacement of musicians, hold
ing that not only was the talking pic
ture cause of great unemployment
but blow as we'll at popular musi-
cal culture and thus factor for de-
terioration of musical taste.
Displacement by machinery was
proceeding rapidly in almost all lines
President Green said, the musicians

about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly. .......

Senator Borah has asked for strict
er enforcement of the eighteenth
and laws ensuing as a
result thereof, and he already seems
to have had a portion of the only
I ossible answer.
However, there is no truth what
ever in the statement that Senator
Borah plans to ask that the coast
guard surround the capitol and fire
or the first nose that breathes the
odor of alcohol. No, that statement
is without foundation.
Senator Borah opposed the child
labor amendment to the constitution
on the ground of states rights, but
there is no truth whatever in the
statement that he wants the eigh-
teenth amendment repealed on the
same grounds.
Senator Borah has had fine lot of
first page publicity out of his ramp
age about prohibition. But there is
no truth whatever in the assertion
that this publicity is distasteful to
him. That report is baseless-if there
is such report.
Senator Borah is equipped with one
of the best self-starters in Washing
ton.
Senator Borah once started what
promised to be famous investiga-
ton of soviet propaganda. When
Samuel Gompers marched into the
senator's committee room with q
clothes basket full of documents anC
testimony Senator Borah was affable
and remarked, II think it would be
well to adjourn and see what the Tea.
pot Dome hearing is bringing out" OF
words similar thereto.
The Teapot Dome inquiry went tc
a conclusion; Senator Borah never
went further with his soviet propa.
ganda inquiry.
Senator Borah made quite to-dc
about an inquiry into Cuban condi.
tions That went into the limbo o1
unfinished Borah business.
Senator Borah has thundered about
, probing into this and into that He
is said never to stick to anything
after its publicity value begins to lose
its edge. What would history have te
record for US if Washington anc
Lincoln had quit their struggles as
soon as they ceased to make page F?

The telegram to Washington is as
follows:
In view Of the present cordial

opinion of the executive commit
tee Of the American Chamber Of
Commerce Of Mexico City endeavor-
ing to represent American bust
ness interests and TO further these
friendly relations that the proposed
legislation restricting immigration
from Mexico would 90 no actual

Nothing should be done to affect

such legislation will be inimical

OF the two countries. The cordial
feeling and friendly understanding
that now prevails in Mexico to-
ward the United States and the

be fostered rather than thwarted.
ITO pick out Mexico as the only
country of the western world for
putting into effect such restrictions

tory results. We sincerely hope
that our legislative body will care
