Killing Trade

Among the 100000 totally unemployed many
are from factories closed by the collapse of our
foreign trade. These hungry Americans, and the
Chambers Of Commerce Of the country which
working so hard for revival Of foreign trade, will
be interested in the newest device of Washington to
destroy more export trade.
The United States department of labor just has
refused permission to Feodor M zyavkin to remain
in the country zyavkin is general manager Of the
Amtorg Trading Corporation Of New York, the Rus
sian organization which buying goods in the United
States at the rate of $145OOOOOO year.
Zyavkin is not charged with being a Communist
propaganda. Indeed, Secretary Of Labor Doak de-
MES that the ordered expulsion OF this business man
has anything to do with improper conduct on his
part.
Apparently zyavkin's only crime is that he IS
buying and paying for American products. That
may be sin to Washington with its cross-eyed slant
on Russian relations. But there ought to be some
Official in position Of authority in the admnistra-
ton with enough gu1nption to understand that this
s14OOOOOO of Russian trade during the last year has
done more to provide jobs for American workers in
time of depression than all the futile efforts Of the
administration.
AS a result of the administrators habit of rails
ing petty obstacles in the path of American Russian
trade millions of dollars worth of Russian orders
have been Withdrawn from American firms and given
to Europe during the last few months
How much longer is the administration going to
persist in this folly?

Rockne. Truly an Idol

To few is it given to win so deep place
in the hearts Of countless thousands, to gain
so firm a grip upon the respect and confidence
Of multitudes, to influence human lives + $ a
word that, even in life they become tradi-
ton, almost deity.
That was the place filled by Knute
Rocl1ne, who had become much more than
a trainer of college boys in athletic games,
much more than the invincibe leader upon
the gridiron but, instead, maker of men.
Rockne built more than football games.
He built character in youths who had never
seen him but who followed his words with
an interest in the infallibility of his advice
Rockne was one Of the great evangelists
of clean living, as he was the exemplar of
clean thinking.
That he was able to inspire, year after
year, the players upon the football fields of
Notre Dame to deeds of courage, that he
could lift them to exploits beyond their be-
liefs in themselves, was incidental.
He was the leader who gave emphasis to
courage for life as we'll as play. He was the
leader who could lift the vision above victory
TO the worth OF trying. lie was the leader
who directed thought to the qualities of life
that win when days are dark and obstacles
appear insurmountable.
Men and women everywhere respected
and admired this man of versatile genius
and Of many appeals. To the youth of the
land he had become an idol
His simplicity of soul, his great capacity
for friendship, his sturdiness of character
will be remembered by those who knew him
and loved him.
His tragic death at an hour when fame
had nothing more to offer but opportunity
for greater usefulness shocks the unnum-
bered admirers to whom he had become a
leader, guide, an institution within his own
personality.

The Sugar Trust

The biggest daddy of them all has been hailed into
court The Sugar Institute is charged by the United
States department OF justice with conspiracy to vo
late the antitrust laws.
All the great cane sugar companies are said to be
in it, fifty or more They refine IS per cent of all our
granulated sugar all of it, that is except the Is
cent made from beetS.
According to the government, these corporations
have combined to fix the price of sugar, have made
deals with beetsugar competitors to restrict output
and have maintained high prices through coercive
acts against brokers, jobbers and grocers
The Sugar Institutes answer is interesting. It says
that its code OF ethics or method of operation, far
from being illegal actually was approved by the de-
partment OF justice.
We have no desire to prejudice this case The
alleged sugar trust deserves its day in court If found
guilty, it should be broken and punished
However that may be, there seems to something
bascaly wrong in the governments apparent prac-
tice of giving informal approval to trust operations.
and then, months or years later, prosecuting the
alleged trust Tor those approved methods
In most of the big trust prosecutions recently, this
complaint has been made by the companies.
We have no doubt that many, if not most of the
combines brought to court By the government are
guilty But seems that the government also is guilty
in its lack of consistent policy amounting almost to
criminal fickleness

ANA<A AOO4 Lands

THE sure way to bring all your forty-second
Il cousins to bat is to pass away without children
and leave a large fortune.
People now are bobbing up all over the country
claiming to be related to Miss Wendell who died in
New York the other day, leaving $1O0,OOO,OOO.
The papers said she was the richest woman in
the country but we'd say she one of the poorest
for she lived her last years, all alone in a great big
gloomy house
We know of an Indiana woman who is lots richer
than Miss Wendell.
This woman is a widow and she hasn't cent
except what she makes yet she is SURPRISINGLY rich
IN the currency Of happiness, for she has a pair
of kids.
And all the money of this world is lust pile
OF junk, alongside pair Of kids!
A LMOST every family has been notified some time
that it is entitled to share in some vast fortune
far away.
that we were about to inherit nilions-no we believe
it was billions
It is no pikers state it was a real one.
1t took in half Of California, two-ttirds of New
York City and all of Chillicothe too
1t has covered the land on which Al Smith and
Raskob have Just put their great building.
But somehow We didn't connect and we suppose
well have to keep on working.
Almost every young lawyer has at least one
client who claims great estate somewhere
When we started in the practice of law we had
such client. He claimed practically everything
east Of the Aueghenies
A Nd this wasn't all. He also claimed great fish
"A ing concession. AS We recall he claimed all the
google eyes between Nova Scotia and Cape Hatteras
It was really very attractive proposition.
While this client was long on prospects he was
short on cash; he was even worse of than we were
and that going some.
We had to keep him until he grabbed the estate
We fed him sparingly and gave him meat only
when his pulse grew faint.
We had to keep him alive, for he was the only
client we had; but for some reason we never were
able to get our hooks on the estate
Our client finally went to the poorhouse and we
had a very narrow escape.
SO, We advise you not to take much stock In wild
nlrnors Of fortune from forgotten ancestors
