U. s. RIVALS TRADE
CLAIMS OF CANADA
October Exports Held to Be
$1,07O,839 Greater Than
September's.

The reported trade war between the
United States and Canada now is
reaching the stage where each coun-
try is claiming victory on the slightest
margin of trade figures.
The United States claims to have
gained S1,o70,839 in its exports to Can
ada during October as compared with
September, while the Canadian gov
ernment cites figures to show this
country's Dominion trade was aided by
materials being shipped into the United
States from other nations merely Tor
re-export across the border.
Exports from the United States TO
Canada in october, according to fig-
ures made public by the Ottawa gov
ernment, amounted to $20,626,2l2 In
! value. The Dominion Bureau Of Sta
tistics said large proportion OF the
shipments was re-exports from other
countries. Comparing these figures with
those of the previous october, S26, $780,
OILS, a reduction OF $5,939, ,803 is noticed.
For the same month in 1880, this
country's export trade to Canada
amounted to s48, $780, ,267, which shows
a cut of s27,5s4,o55 in two years.
Re-export Portion Smaller.
However, department officials said
amount of coffee. silk and rubber re-
ceived at ports here for re-export into
Canada were not as great in value as
this countrys direct shipments OF coal,
petroleum and raw cotton.
Trade reports made available at the
department show there has been de-
cline of 35 per cent in the United States
trade with Canada during the last nine
months, for which the worldwide de-
preston, with its accompanying drastic
drop in raw material prices and the de-
cline in exchange, was held respon-
sible.
For the first nine months in 1882
this country exported goods valued at
S207, ,567 ,033 as compared with $780,
GOT ,664 for the same period year ago.
| At the same time worldwide trade to
| Canada dropped off 30 per cent, accord
ing to available statistics.
Comment Is Declined.
Department officials declined to make
any comment on the reported trade
| war. However, they did release a re-
| port from Assistant Trade Commission
er Herbert w. Barrett at Ottawa,
| which shows Canadian worldwide ex-
ports of passenger automobiles and au-
| tomobile parts were Is per cent higher
| in October than in September.
As to what part American automo-
bile branch factories played in this up
ward trend was not cited in the report.
In automobile circles, this increase was
viewed with some significance because
of the reported decreased in production
+, in American factorties during October
to a level never before reached in the
| history of this industry. 1t Is under
stood the department will make public
! q report on this country's automobile
trade for October during the coming
week.

labor in industry. To offset this
meeting, Judge Gary, of United
States Steel, called a meeting and
stated that the rights Of stockhold-
ers were paramount and that it was
the first duty of industry to pay a
profit to shareholders, and neither
labor nor the government had a right
to interfere in this payment of div
idends. In other words, stockhold-
ers come first and if there should
be anything left labor can have it.
What has been the result of this
policy? Five hundred sixty-eight
men with an annual income of a
million dollars or over; one mar with
a personal income of over five mil
lion dollars; an insult with an in
come of $2,227,0 900, which he since
gambled away. During the depres-
sion the values of stocks and bonds
have increased as high as 95 per
cent over the bottom price while
wages have decreased Ia per cent, re-
tail sales IA per cent and rail trans
portation a per cent. This policy
Of stockholders first, advocated and
enforced by banks and bank-con-
trolled industries has been the con-
tributing factor in this depression.
In closing, Smith said that we will
not have prosperity in AZ years I'M
less we break the stranglehold of
these invisible dictators. The Wis
IDLE administration makes little diff
ference, for the invisible empire is
dominant. If we cannot control these
invisible rulers the government will
have to socialize the banks. Smith
also stated that the time was COM
ing when all industry would have
to be socialized if the worker hoped
to escape serfdom. This in reality
is what the A. F. of L. program
leads to. Foreign trade does not de-
termine our state of prosperity, for
we can consume all that we produce
if we restore the purchasing power
to the American worker. This pow
er can only be restored when labor's
rights become paramount to capital
rights. Unless labor's rights are rec
ognized we will never have prosper
ity or even democracy in this our
try.
The address was greeted with
rounds Of applause. Smith stated
that the altitude held him back and
that he would do better the next
time. After hearing that talk last
Tuesday we wonder what he will do
when he does get going good. The
talk was one Of soundest and most
sane even heard on the cause and
cure of the depression. The dele
gates had better be sure to turn out
as long as Smith is here, for to hear
him is a treat not to be passed by.

The outstanding event of this weeks meeting of the
Central Council was the impromptu address of Paul
Smith, special representative of the A. F. of L. Smith has
come to Butte to attend to Federation affairs and expects
to be here for a few weeks. President Malloy called upon
Mr.. Smith to say a few words on conditions as he saw
them in his travels about the country. Mr.. Smith stated
that politics was the most important issue for labor at
the present time, and in view of this he would discuss
the political situation insofar as the presidential election
was concerned, and that he would explain the A. +. of l..
stand of neutrality in the present campaign.

stated that there was little doubt
but that the convention would be
unanimous in endorsing an unem-
ployment insurance measure.
The Council was pleased to receive

definite plans for their four months
work of yard improvement and will
hold the following meetings:
Oakland-Thursday, March 81, 200

The leaders report that as result
of last years work several women re-
arranged their yards in keeping with
the ideas presented at the group meet
ing and are pleased with the results.
Many of the members enjoyed the OPP
portunity of exchanging surplus bulbs
and seeds with other members of the
group and all who attended are ready
for the second years work.
This is to include the making of
small inexpensive bird baths, rock
gardens and lily pools. Some time will
be spent studying the use of native
wild flowers and shrubs which can be
used in making the home attractive
at low cost. The outstanding features
of the first meeting will be the ex-
change of seeds and shrubs and the
making of a bird bath.
Anyone desiring to attend these
meetings is invited to do so. The fol-
lowing persons plan to take up the
work.

WHY TAXES ARE HIGH

Self-seeking politicians, irresponsi-
BILE publishers and soap-box orators
are trying their best to make the
people believe that federal, state and
local governments have gone to hell,
is the introduction of an editorial ap-
pearing in recent issue of the Spen-
GER wv. Va.) Times-Record.
AS if a depressing economic situa-
ton were not bad enough, political
quackery has made its appearance and
innumerable Medicine Men have
bobbed up to reap personal gain from
existing conditions.
We do not share the quack theory
that everything is wrong, nothing
right with modern government. We
do not think that all those now hold
ing office should be turned out. In
deed, we are convinced that there is
no cure-all for present conditions, II
government or out. The needs of the
people must be studied and best eff
forts put forward to lead people tx
want, and be willing to pay for, the
things that they really need.
Present conditions in government
are not as serious as the demagogu'
would have us think. 1t is the trutl
that taxes are too high in comparison
to other living costs, but no one woul'
have thought so had living costs no
come down. From 1916 to 1929 w
all spent money as if it grew on trees

LEADS TO PEACE

It was on the hill of Golgotha, a
place that is called the Skull. Outlined
sharply against the gray sky were
three crosses, gaunt' and forbidding in
their significance, fearful in their por-
tent.
At the foot of the central cross
stood woman, frail, trembling, how
long she had stood there she knew
not, her weak hands seemed scarce
able to hold together the folds of her
thin wrap that formed but brief pro-
lection from the wind. Her gaze was
fixed upon the Figure on the cross, her
lips moved wordlessly and her faith
omless eyes were dark with the pain
of unshed tears.
Memories were stirring upon her
benumbed brain, memories of joy and
happiness, Of sorrow and pain and
sacrifice, because through all ages
mothers have learned the meaning of
that word and it was her Son who
was now called upon to make the
Supreme Sacrifice.
There was the memory of her an
nunciation, of her magnifcat, of the
months of happy preparation and
waiting for the coming of her Man.
Child. There was the memory of the
starry night in Bethlehem of Judea
when there was no room in the inn,
and there were other memories, ten
der, poignant and searching that held
her there, bewildered, affrighted, hurt
with the pain that Motherhood had
brought her. Other women stood
near weeping, and John, the beloved
disciple, watched her with deep solic-
~itude.
The Figure on the cross stirred
slightly. His thorn crowned head
moved so that His glance rested upon
the form of His mother. His eyes
were filled with tenderness for her
suffering. His lips parted: Mother"
He said gently, "behold thy son." and
to John, "Behold thy mother" Even
in death did He remember, that she
might not be left desolate.
The watch continued and, at the
night hour His voice whispered: at
is finished" Christ had made the
Atonement, as the Scriptures had
foretold.
Then it was that the earth trem-
bled and quaked and the vail of the
temple was rent asunder; pandemon-
ium reigned, terror filled the hearts
of the multitude.
Scarcely noting, in her anguish the
cataclycm of nature, Mary turned
from the scene, her heart filled with
desolation, the tragedy of all ages
was in her beautiful eyes. Being a
mother she, too, had made the sacri-
flee.
She too, had followed in the Way
of the Cross, the way that leads
through the valley of humiliation and
the path of suffering and self-denial
into the Garden of Gethsemane and
-on to Calvary.
But, in the end, the "Way of the
Cross" always leads to Peace.

of His Travels and Is Coming Home

Mr.. Burt Wilson, native of Garrett

rather gloomy letter to The Republic
can following the destruction Of the
crops in that section of the State of
sunshine BY an unlooked-for frost Of
recent date:
To the Editor of The Republican.
The good people of Garrett county
will know how to sympathize with
Florida farmers who lost most of
their truck crops by the recent cold
weather, as we are so often caught
by frost out of season in Garrett
county also.
ne winter nnOnIHS were WdfHl, WIFI
no frost from November to March
and the vegetable crops were produc-
ing nicely. Green beans, cucumbers
tomatoes had begun to move in cal
lots, but now we will have to wait fol
these crops to grow again before
much is shipped.
Citrus fruits were not injured, anc
cabbage, which was hardly worth
getting to the market, is bringing
good prices now.
We expect to return to our Mary
land home earlier this year than last
Considering everything, Western
Maryland is about as good place tt
live as we have found and we are al
ways glad to get back home.

Miss Ella Wendell "to drag out and
become a subject of ridicule."
A total of 1922 persons who claim
to be relatives, have filed claims to the
Wendell estate since the aged Miss
Ella, believing herself to be the last
living member of the family, willed
her fortune of more than a hundred
million dollars largely to charity.
Many of the claimants live in Eu-
rope and their legal representatives
argued against an application made
by her executor for a speedy filing of
bills of particulars setting forth the
lineage of the claimants.
Walter Wendell, farm laborer, of
near Oakland, is one of the heirs. His
great-grandfather was a brother of
the direct ancestor of Ella Wendell.
An attorney representing the estate
came to Oakland last May to investi-
gate the kinship and nothing further
has developed since that time.
