Inaccurate Weighing Devices

According expert attending the national conference
here weights and measures Uncle Sans postal service has
been bung the public through obsolete postal scales-ac
tually shortchanging buyers of postage stamps.
The of postal officials that the Postofce Depart
knows that Of it's machines DID, but that it is
going appoint field personnel keep its 100000 scales in
good order.
There also criticism of these machines
with recommendations that they be submitted to Off
cal tests to enforce accuracy.
In these days of mania for taking off fat is tragic that
fat lady should get scale day and beam with
happiness the idea that she has lost 10 IL pounds in few
days. but when she tackles the next machine she
will almost faint to that she has gained eight to fifteen
pounds.
That's positively do fat seriously trying
to reduce. It's not joke
The Government may may not have made much money
shochangng the public its aged postal scales These super
animated affairs may always be the side of the Govern
ment
The worst of this revelation is that will excite Saving
people to cast doubts upon these scales hereafter when they

postage should be- No thrifty will put up with short

Claude G.. Bowers on Germany's Plight

erS are beginning to build fac
tories over our tariff walls in
other countries whose markets
these manufacturers must
have. It is strange to hear
from Smoot this Splutter:
"AbOut 1900 branch factories
valued at approximately one
and one-half billions of dollars
have been established in for
eign countries by American
groups. The number value of
these foreign factories are grow
ing so rapidly as to leave one
grasping with amaZement. 1t
is probable that 1881 and 1892
will see additional American
capital invested in foreign
manufactures at a rate so stu
pendOus as to cause all previous
figures to pale into insignifi-
cance."
And Senator Smoot is gasp
ing with amazement!" Why?
He had fair warning that if we
made it impossible, because of
retaliations against our bar
baris tariff act, for our factories
to get across frontiers into for
eign markets, our manufactur-
ers would built across the bor-
ders. Washington, commenting
on the recent drastic Canadian
movement against the exporta-
ton of our products yawned
and said it was all right-that
we would build factories over
there.
SmOOt Complains
AS Factories Move
But Smoot complains that
this does not give employment
for American labor. His dismay
is to the credit Of his heart, but
the fact that he cannot see
the inevitablity of the thing
under his tariff act is a reflec-
ton upon his head.
In his hysterical denunciation
of these manufacturers he tells
us over and over again that
we must have prohibitive tariffs
like his for the protection" Of
American labor. Well, we have
his kind of tariff, and how does
labor fare?
Six millions of the workers
are on the Streets-no work at
all.
And now we learn that in
March alone ITS manufacturing
industries, enjoying the Smoct
protection, have reduced wages
on an average of 10 per cent.
His bill was passed under the
Presidential lash of Mr.. Hoover
to restore prosperity, and we
read from the economic review
of the Labor Bureau:
There is little doubt that
the total Of unemployment next
winter will be little If any
smaller than the 6,5O0,00O
counted by the census in the
early part Of the year."
Perhaps Mr.. Smoot's amaze
ment would have been less had
he read the protest against his
bill from the thousand leading
economists pleading with the
President for a veto and setting
forth as inevitable the very
things that are now so amaz-
ing to the Senator

Americans as Meat Eaters

Just when livestock growers and dealers and the big pack
ing establishments about ready to put campaign
Of advertising boost meat eating by Americans Public
Health Service issues its customary health advice that less
meat should be eaten in summer and the Department of
Agriculture agrees
Then the livestock people and packers protest this official
encouragement Of meat consumption in hot weather
Meat prices have had quite fall in the last year. due to
reduced consumption and to increased livestock supplies Pre-
vang prices will have tendency to increase meat eating
in summer though all health authorities do agree that

In the Fifteenth Century
country house Of the British
Premiers, statesmen Of Ger"
many and Great Britain are
discussing the economic and
financial crisis that vitally
affects not only them but all
the world. In the midst of the
conversations the German Min
lister of Finance announces with
emphasis that Germany is at
the end of her resources" No
defeated nation in the worlds
history ever has settled down
with such grim determination
to carry on, regardless of i'm
possible burdens put upon her,
as has Germany. She has
worked and worked hard. Had
general prosperity continued
throughout the world she might
not be in the desperate con-
dition she finds herself in
today; but with prosperity gone
she has reached the end Of
her resources. New taxes have
been imposed by the German
Government in an honest effort
to carry on, but there are dis
turbing rumblings from a peo-
pie who have been suffering
enough. 1t is proposed to
reduce the war pensions, and
the amount given for unemploy-
ment support. and this is
gambling on human patience.
Germany wants a revision Of
the reparations; and Washing

tion in her debt to us. Borah

Germany Has Served
The World Well
For fourteen years Germany
has been serving the world
well. The natural conserva-
tism of her people has acted
as a buffer against the west
ward march of Russian COM
munism. We have done all we
can to destroy the morale of
the Germans; and now we are
forcing a reductions of the pen
Sions paid the soldiers and of
the amount expended on the
unemployed. The Germans
see no signs of let-up on the
pressure. They must work
longer, receive less, pay more
on through the generation.
There come times when even
the worm will turn.
Next year Hindenburg is re-
elected or retires. He is a very
old man and would naturally
prefer to lay aside the burdens
Of the Presidency. He has been
true to the republic, just as he
had been true to the emperor.
Hindenburg is built that way.
But should he retire who could
take his place? No one else in
Germany is so much beloved.
Quite recently something oc-
Cured at the Steel Helmet
League demonstration at Bres-
lau that is significant and
threatening. The former Crown
Prince Wilhelm was received
with frenZied enthusiasm. We
have been doing all we can by
relentless pressure to make the
old Hohenzollern days seem
happy days. And it is under
stood that the Breslau demon
Stration was the launching of
the presidential candidacy of
the former crown prince. We
cannot object to that, the peo-
pie Of Germany have a right to
elect whoever they please.

AS France Went
Back to Napoleon

But the election of Wilhelm
to the Presidency would be un-
pleasantly reminiscent of the
time the people of France
elected the third Napoleon to
the Presidency. It was a pro-
nouncement in favor Of another
Napoleon on the throne. Every
one understood that but some
of the politicians, and no one
was surprised when, with the
army fixed, the proclamation
was posted on the boards OF
Paris that France had another
emperor. A few men like Victor
Hugo fumed and fused and
started upon their travels, but
the people were content.
Hugo wrote a furious book
describing the new emperor as
having 'Hortense for a mother
and some father or other" but
no one cared.
If Welhelm is elected to the
Presidency of Germany, it will
mean that we have made the
Hohenzollerns look good to the
German people. Things could
not be any blacker than we
have have made them there,
and we insist that they shall
stay black.
