Christmas tree lights, shining gayly
! from festive trees in thousands of
American homes during the past holi-
| day season also were torchlights of
| despair for thousands of American work
men who lost their jobs through the
| importation Of cheap japanese bulbs,
and glistening threats to thousands
more whose Jobs may be taken away
from them through expansion of the
japanese trade.
One hears the question asked: "Why
can Japanese lamps, whose makers earn
| only a few cents a day, drive out of
business American electric light con-
Germs which pay living wage? Do
We not have tariff to protect our
workers."
And the answer comes back: 1.-THE
japanese yen, or standard of currency,
is deprecated in value and off the
gold basis. The japanese worker tolls
at starvation wages. This cheapens the
cost of the Japanese product and en-
ables Japanese manufacturers to land
their product, duty paid, in the United
States at below the cost of manufac-
ture here There might as we'll be no
tariff wall, and the success of the
Christmas tree light invasion is spread
ing the Japanese competition to the
larger Is to go watt house lamps"
The picture presented to the Ameri-
can consumer is that when he attempts
to buy the Christmas tree lights, he
must pay SIS high as 10 cents each for
the American product, whereas the
japanese product is offered him as low
as cents each. and sometimes at half
that. This is because the japanese
lamps are landed here, duty paid, at
only from l to 2.5 cents each, whereas
the American cost Of manufacture alone
is about 4 cents.
When American consumers purchase
the japanese lights, it has the effect of
driving some American worker, who
earns about $500 a year, from his
work bench and putting in his place a
Japanese workman whose salary ranges
from 500 to $500 a year.
At first blush. the American con-
sumer would seem to be saving by pur-
chasing the cheaper light. According
to 1881 imports, the American buyer
saved 81, 100000 this way But the &C
eurate tests show the Japanese lamps
consume 20.5 per cent more electricity

brewers do not make this bill constitu-
tlonal in fact, nor can the bill be
legalized until the eighteenth amend
ment is repealed.
In case you declare 4 per cent beer
non Intoxicating, there would have to
be an agreement or understanding with
the interstate commerce act which
would allow such a beverage to pass
through any State border. Under the
Webb-Kenyon act Intoxicating liquors
would be prevented. States which still
maintain one-half of per cent, or less,
as the alcoholic content allowed would
have no protection from 4 per cent beer
should you declare it mountaineering. "

to Quit U. S. Buildings.

The threatened strike Of hosting en-
gineers on the new Department of Jus
tice B-,lding, jeopardizing the jobs Of

necessary fof his men to leave their
jobs Monday.

reached, however" he said, every hoist
ing engineer on the job will walk out
Monday. We feel that our claim Is just
and we intend to enforce it,"
The hoisting men claim that elevator
workers have been using hoists to lift
elevator machinery for installation.
They claim this work should go to them,
but the elevator men have refused 10

Mr. McCracken said he had no inten-
ton of calling a strike on any OF the
other Government construction JOBS. IL
had been reported yesterday that
strike on the Department OF Labor
Building was under consideration.
$50 Jobs Jeopardized.
Norman Barrett, superintendent OF
construction for the George A. Fuller
Co, which has the contract on the De-
partment of Justice job, said he did not
intend to take the initiative In effecting
a compromise with the hosting engi-
neers.
They have announced they are going
to strike and the next step Is up to
them" he said II hope there will be
no strike and we are going ahead with
plans for working Monday. If they do
strike, however, we'll close the job down
lock, stock and barrel"
He said strike would throw about
$50 men out of work.

This allowed North to bid seven

South is definitely marked with

BERLIN. May 6-Nazi agriculture
policies will save Germany from
servation, Walter Dare, personal ad-
visor to Chancellor Adolf Hitler and
head of the Nazi agricultural de-
partment, told the United Press to-
day, in the first authoritative state
ment of a revolutionary agrarian
program.
THE interruption in the interna-
tional exchange of goods has re-
suited in the German people being
no longer in the position of safe
guarding their nouriShment through
exchanging industrial goods for
agricultural products" he said.
Hence, economically, the German
agricultural policy has no choice but
to concentrate on supplying food
stuffS from its own soil"
The Nazis will concentrate every
effort toward sending large indus
trial populations back to the soil.
Seen as Only Hope
"Only by this means can Germany
solve the problem of nourishment,"
he declared.
DaTe'S star is In the ascendancy in
Nazi Germany. For years he has
been close to Chancellor Hitler.
especially in agricultural matters.
Well-grounded reports are that DR..
Alfred Hugenberg, Nationalist lead
err, soon will resign from the cabinet
and Dare will replace him as min
lister of agriculture and economy.
Dare is president of the National
Association of Peasants and Farm
ers and of the Farmers Co-Opera-
tiveS.
Nattily dressed in the. black uni
form of a storm trooper, Dare
leaped to his feet when the CORE
spondent entered his office, clicked
his heels together, and held out his
hand in the Nazi salute.
Hail Hitler!" he exclaimed.
Tells His Policies
Then he outlined his policies.
ITO help agriculture is the key
stone of the first years plan in
Hitlers program" he said. First,
we want to prevent foreclosures on
agricultural property. Second, we
want to lower the interest rates.
Third, we want to reduce the in
debtedness of the agrarian popula-
ton. Last, we seek internal colon
ization.
Some of these measures already
have been effected and the others
are in preparation.
"Our aim, since we favor the
small farmer, is much the same as
Soviet Russias wheat factories
(mass production by collectivized
agricultural We want to establish
small farming units run by peasants
