THE AMERICAS FIRST

James Monroe, fifth President OF
the United States, declared 10y
years ago, that Gin the wars of the
European powers in matters relat-
ing to themselves we have never
taken any part, or does it comport
with our policies to do So" That
doctrine should be written across
| the skies in blOOd-red letters so
that every son and daughter of AM
erica might reflect upon this sage
warning at the present time when
we are suffering from too much
Europe" with the movements in
this hemisphere we are, of necessity
more Immediately connected, and by
causes which must be obvious to all
enlightened and impartial Observ-
ers," added the wise Monroe, who
had fought under Washington in the
Revolution.
After a century of talking about
it" Uncle Sam had decided that our
national prospects, and our advan-
tages are dependent upon beating
Europe to it" in capturing the rap
idly growing trade of Latin Ameri-
ca.
Every official document on our
foreign trade reveals the advantages
that await us to the South.
The United States Department of
Commerce Year Book of 1881 shows
the tragic collapse of our European
hopes, most of which have turned
out to be pipe dreams. On the other
hand the Americas gave an excel
lent account of themselves under all
the circumstances, for while the
American Republics have suffered
with the rest of the world it is new
ertheless found that our average eX-
ports have increased 127 per cent
and that our imports are 70 per
cent higher than in the years just
before the war.
AS dull as figures are our Nation
is blind if it does not understand
the importance of these facts. The |
quantities of coffee and bananas re-
ceived from the South have been /
greater than before the stock mar
ket blew up in 1929, but as the +
prices were lower the statistics /
show an apparent decline in these
commodities.
These facts constitute the impOr-
tant preliminaries to an event in
American cOmmerce-put a peg in
it-when President Hoover touched
the historic White House telegraph
key for the ceremony of launching
the new five million dollar Panama
Mail Liner, the Santa Rosa, first of
four sister ships now being built
for the Grace Lines. These ships are
being constructed at Kearny, New
Jersey. The President was repre-
sented by Post Master General Wal
ter F. Brown and w. Irving Glover,
Assistant Post Master General, as
we'll as by Shipping Board officials
and other representatives of the

TAX FIGHT WAKES FIERCE

The pocket nerve is said to be the
most sensitive. and when it comes
to question of taxes. the most i'll
different citizens wakes up and
gFOans, if he does not also squeal
and howl. AS one of the congress
sional leaders remarked it is a
question of how to get the most
feathers off the goose with the least
squawking.
The congressional orators have
already offered some singing re-
marks, which will grow more bitter
rather than less before this fight is
finally ended. Meanwhile, it is up
to the American people to counsel
wisdom and moderation and tOler-
ance and good judgment. No prob
lem is ever settled right when peo-
pic become angry and bitter.
1t is the feeling of one faction
that the proposed new taxes must
call still more heavily on the peo-
pic of large wealth, to assist in the
present national emergency. and
that they will suffer no privation if
they do so. TO which it is replied
that if the people of large wealth
are pushed too far. they will put
their money into tax exempt bonds
and escape with scarcely any taxa
tion. Also that their incomes have
been much reduced, and if the bulk
of what is left is taken by taxation.
they will stop buying things and hir-
ing people, and thus add to unem-
ployment.
The taxes on people of small |
means should be made very light |
but everyone should expect to pay /
something. 1t is not wholesome for |
any element of people to conceive the |
idea that they can support policies
that cost great deal of money, and |
not be assessed a nickel to pay for
these things.
The tax which is felt the least is
usually the best. The theory of get
ting the most feathers with the least
sqttawking, is not so far from right.
If tax feels burdensome, it destroys
courage and faith and confidence,
which thus undermincs the founda-
tions of the new prosperity the ma
tion is engaged in building.

POWER or THE STORM WIND

The terrible force of the wind
storms which affiict many portions
of our country was again revealed,
when a tornado swept through Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Ken
lucky, with fatal result for over 275
people, and an incalculable number
suffering injuries. We may protect
our rivers from flood perils, and our
cities from fires, but the winds of
heaven are their own masters. About
all we can do after they wreak their
angry havoc, is to care for the in
jured and homeless, and sympathetic
hearts should not neglect that duty.
When people build homes i'm tor
nadO regions, the advantages of
solid construction should be obvious
from such disasters.

SEAS FINISHING
 DESTRUCTION OF
 STEAMER NEVADA
Seattle Times)

Storm waters of the Pa cific will be the permanent grave of the thirty-four. men of the Portland freighter Nevada who lost their lives recently when the vessel was pounded to piece on the rocks of Amatignak Island on the Vest ern Aleutians.
 This was the word brought to Seattle by officers of the United States Coast Guard cutter Haida, which has arrived from Western Alaska.
 Lieut.. Comdr, Rae B. Hall of the Haida with a crew of ten picked men made trip in a surf boat to within 200 feet of the Nevada and along the shores of Amatignak Island.
 We saw no signs of bodies of the men lost in the wreck" said Lieutenant Commander Hall Al though there was a terrible surf at the island, we made a search of much of the beach. It is prob ably none of the bodies will be recovered.
 We went within 200 feet of the wreck. The heavy seas are finish ing the work of destruction. The bow Of the Nevada is on the beach. The amidship section is broadside to the island. The stern has dis appeared. A few pieces of wreckaqe have been washed ashore and a few Japanese squares, part of the vessels deckload, are floating on the sea-"
 The Haida was nearly an entire day at the scene of the wreck. Heavy seas were running and white frlnged combers were breaking completely over the amidship sec ton of the ill-fated freighter.
