Commerce and Army and Navy officials
stationed in England have met with
like reductions.
Ambassador Straus and his staff at
Paris had felt the effects OF an addi-
tional "a per cent salary shrinkage
when the State Department acted in
August to counteract the drop. This
was done by arranging with the Fed
eral Reserve Bank in New York to
cash the pay checks Of the staff at
Paris on the old basis of 25 francs to
the dollar, instead OF the prevailing
165 francs.
Similar arrangements. applying not
only to State Department but to Com
merce, War and Navy Department en-
ployes as well, were made In nine
countries which have remained on the
gold standard or approximately so.
These countries are: France, Belgium,
Holland dncluding the Dutch East In
dies), Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Ger
many, Austria and CZechoslovakia.
Example Of Salary Cuts.
Here is a concrete example Of how
diplomatic salaries have been affected
by Uncle Sans monetary fluctuations
In the days when an American dollar
was WOTLn 20 francs, d SlU,UUU SdldTy
was the equivalent of 100000 francs
Then came the Is per cent pay cut
to bring the salary down to $500. OIL
212,50 francs. The fall of the dollar
and the rise in value of the franc after
the United States abandoned the golC
standard have brought about a con-
dition whereby one dollar will buy onl!
about l65 francs. which means tina
but for the compensatory measures
adopted several months ago, the $8,50(
salary would have diminished to about
IS 900.
This is what has happened to 9
$4,000 salary in Great Britain:
Evening star., 1933-11-14

salary Of that amount on q normal
basis, when sterling was at par with
the dollar, eQualed about 1850 pounds
sterling. However, for a long period
prior to our departure from the gold
standard, our dollar was so valuable
that the pound was worth only $3.50.
The effect of this was to make $lO,-
600 salary worth 1850 pounds,
amounting TO a 80 per cent wage IN
crease. The is per cent pay cut
brought the figure down to $500,
which was worth about 1,750 pounds
at par. The decline of the dollar made
the pound more valuable, however, and
when the pound reached quotation OF
$500, as it did Saturday. the $500
was worth only 1,670 pounds sterling.
Compared with his salary when the
value of the dollar was at its peak be-
fore we left the gold standard, the
$4,000 per annum foreign service ofti-
Ger in Great Britain has received
total cut of more than 40 per cent, in
Guiding the is per cent reduction.
Entertainment Cost High.
1t may be argued, of course, that he
enjoyed the benefits of the peak dollar
when times we're better, and therefore
should not grumble when the pendulum
swings the other way.
Ofhcials point out, however, that 1t

abroad, especially in view OF the large
budget for entertainment expenses nee
essary in diplomatic circles. While
many of the ambassadors and ministers
are wealthy in their own right and can
afford to use their private funds for
upholding the social prestige and the
hospitality of the United States. most
of the minor officials and other en-
ployes must try to keep up appearances
on their greatly deprecated salaries.

lar Depreciation.
BY REX COLLIER.

Depreciation of the dollar abroad has
so depressed the income of American
foreign service officers that steps may
have to be taken toward a general re-
adjustment of their salaries to meet
the new currency conditions.
Diplomats. military officers, consular
officials and other representatives OF
the United States in countries still on
or almost on--the gold standard already
have been given some relief, but their
colleagues in other lands are in sad
financial plight, it was learned today.
Through efforts Of the State Depart
ment last August an arrangement was
made whereby Government employees in
the gold standard countries are COM
pensated for the sharp drop In the value
of the dollar that resulted from
Americas departure from gold. This
plan did not apply to countries which
had left the gold standard, as the de-
cline of the dollar in such countries had
not then become acute.
Salaries Shrink AIarmingIy.
Now, however, with the dollar finding
new low levels on the currency marts
of the world, Uncle Sans Ambassadors,
Ministers, attaches, clerks and other
representatives In far corners OF the
globe are finding their salaries have
Shrunken alarmingly.
Ambassador Bingham and his en-
bassy staff at Londcn, for example, have
suffered not only the Is per cent cut
imposed by the Federal economy pro-
gram, but an additional reduction OF
more than 80 per cent because OF
collapse of the dollar since America

that a number of commercial

required by law and whether
they are carrying the license

LOCAL LABOR ON
ARIZONA HIGHWAYS

Government regulations pro-
vide that labor to be employed
in Arizona's S5,211,000 Federal
aid highway program be taken
principally from the counties in
which work will be done, and
will not be hired by the state
highway department, according
to T. S. O'Connell, state high
way engineer.
Hundreds of persons seeking
employment have swarmed thru
the various offices in the high
way building during the past
ew days in the belief that the
department will have many jobs
of which to dispose. In some
cases the entire time of the office
personnel has been occupied
with receiving applications.
Federal regulations govern
ing work under the new highway
program provide that the Unit
ed States employment service
in each state will designate To-
cal agencies to receive applica-
tions and prepare lists of skilled
and unskilled labor for each
highway project " Mr.. O'Con-
nell said.
1T is our understanding that
when a contract is let in a GER
tain county, the U. S. employ
ment service will select some
existing relief or employment
agency in that county to supply
a list of available workers to the
contractor. The contractor will
then select his men from that
list. The highway department,
therefore, will have nothing to
do with it, except to see that the
regulations are carried out by

WILLIS LETS COPPER
CAT OUT OF BAG

No stronger presentation of
the dire needs of Arizona and
the other copper producing
states, for a higher tariff on
foreign copper has yet been
presented by any recognized
authority, than that of Charles
E. Willis, editor of the Mining
Journal. In his last copper re-
view, as published in the daily
newspapers and carried by the,
Associated Press, in his intro
ductory remarks, Willis said: 4
"As was to be expected, cop
per discussions has been inject
ed into the discussions at the
London conference. The aim
seems to be world regulation,
which is a device on the part of
foreign copper producers to
throw the greatest copper mar
ket in the world, the United
States, open to them.
'EThe foreign producers can
not begin to find a market for
their product abroad and the f.
cent tariff helps to make the
American market difficult for
them. The in ndications are that
the copper producing countries
may seek concessions on copper
in exchange for some action on
silver" J"
Thus it is that Willis, re-
cognized independent copper
authority, who owns no foreign
mines, who is not interested in
fabrication plants, warns that
any London conference on cop
per will be detrimental to the
copper-mining industry of Ari-
zona and other copper-produc-
ing states. Any such confer
ence held will, as he points out,
merely be clumsy effort to
open up the American market
/ for cheap foreign copper.

OPPORTUNITY IS
KNOCKING NOW

Property owners who have
been planning to repair old struc-
lures or build new ones better
get busy unless they wish to
pay heavily for delay. With
better crop prices, heavy pub
lie expenditures for bridges,
roads, public buildings, ETC., it
is not difficult to imagine rapid
improvement in the employ
ment situation and commodity
price levels.
Cement, lumber, paint, struc-
tural steel, electrical equipment
and all manner of building sup
plies will probably never again,
in a generation at least, be at
the bargain counter prices we
have been witnessing. Today
property owners can improve
an old building or build a new
one, from concrete foundation
to fre-resisting roof, at record
low figures. There is abundant
labor, both skilled and unskill-
ed. 1t seems certain that the
foregoing combination of cir
cumstances is doomed.
The investor in construction
activity today not only gets
double return for his money,
but helps to start normal en-
ployment in the wage and price
structures, which will rebound
in benefits to himself in better
business and rental values,
Remember that investment
and employment are cheaper

THE OTHER HALF

Many automobile drivers
who think they know all about
the right-of-way law under
stand only the half of it. In
answer to the question, Who
has the right-of-way?" The
average driver would quickly
reply, "The man on the right. "
The answer is partially correct
but isn't complete.
The best statutes on the sub
iect say; "The car on the
right has the right of-way pro :
yided it enters the intersection
first, but if the car on the left
happens to be first into the in
tersection, the car on the right
must yield"
Maxwell Haley, Traffic En-
gineer of the National Bureau
of Casualty and Surety Under
writers, says the best way to
eliminate confusion on this
point is for all cars to slow down
when approaching intersections.
I'm this way drivers will be
able to gauge each others dis
tance and obey the law with
greater convenience.
''The driver of car APP
preaching from the right has
no justification to suppose that
all traffic must stop to permit
HIM to cross. This attitude
has produced a high toll of ac-
cidents, More than twice as
many accidents occur at inter
sections as between intersec-
tions. Last year, 2,430 persons
were killed and 184,750 injured
in 146,500 accidents resulting

GOLD" THE Gin
DERELLA METAL

To the people who have al
ways regarded money" as be-
ing synonymous with "gold,"
it may come as something of a
surprise to know that silver
comes closer to being an inter-
national medium of exchange
than does the rarer metal.
All the oriental nations are
silver-s tandard nations, and
they represent half the worlds
population. So are a number
of South American and Europ-
can countries. France alone,
of the great powers, holds to
the gold standard at the mo-
ment.
That is why world economists
pu bile and private, are talking
so much about silver. And that
is why a mounting number of
authorities believe It's stabiliza-
tion to be an essential of re-
covery.

Bringing the New Deal"

Of September first, as was

quently 285 men went to work
Monday several weeks earlier

addition, mine employees at
Bisbee were given five days
work this week instead of the
three days they have been

H. A. Clark, manager, smell
ter division, Copper Queen

ton, in announcing the reopen
ing Of the smelter made the
following statement:

VETERAN DRIVER
GIVES TIPS ON
SAFE TOURING

With the arrival of vacation
season, more automobile drivers
will be on the road and there
are likely to be more traffic ac-
cidents but motorists can escape
many mishaps if they follow the
suggestions Of j. H. Greenleaf,
veteran test car driver for the
Goodyear Tire d Rubber Co..
who, during the past 10 years,
has driven more than 1,500,
miles. Driver of one of the
feet of cars on which Goodyear
tires are tested, Greenleaf has
operated a car under every pos
sible condition and has probably
encountered as many difficult
situations on the road as any
driver in the world.
Good brakes, properly ad-
justed, are the most important
part of an automobile from a
safety standpoint" Greenleaf
declared. Mechanically speak
ing, good treads on tires come
next, but the most danger in
travelling is caused by the hui
man element.
every driver should indicate
his intention in making a turn
at least 100 feet before turning,
as omission of this simple pre-
caution helps cause accidents.
More accidents, | believe, are
caused by passing other cars on
curves or near the tops of hills
than from any other cause.
Many accidents also result from
drivers not getting enough rest
and falling asleep at the ster-
ing wheel" he concluded.
Based on his years of exper-
ience, Greenleaf has formulated
the following rules for driving:
l. Have good brakes at all
times.
2. Signal intention Of max
ing a turn 100 before making it.
3. Never pass a car on curve
or near top Of hill.
4. Stay on inside of center
line on curves and hills.
5. Be alert at intersections.
Slow up even if you have the
righ t-of-way.
6. When approaching car has
binding lights, slow up and hug
your side of the road.
z. Allow yourself freedom OF
movement. 1t is taking a chance
