Under the stimulus Of the World
War, foreign purchases of our hog
products jumped to the equivalent
of about seventeen million hogs. But
since the war, our exports have
dropped back again to the equivalent
Of about four million hogs. This de

THE accompanying graph consti-
! tutes a vivid explanation Of one
reason why the prices for corn and
hogs have been so low the last few
years. The main reason is the severe
decline in the export demand for
United States hog products since the
1919 peak.
In 1904, European nations took
the equivalent Of nearly six million
hogs. This was only a moderate ex-
port level, but the total United
States hog production at that time
was in good balance with the COM
bined domestic and foreign demand.

VIOLATE ACT
BY EDWARD 0. MAYL
International News Service

NRA officials were stumped to-
day In their efforts to force COM
pliance upon code violators who
StfTl operate under the protective
banner Of the Blue Eagle.
These code violators number
well above a score and employ
thousands Of workers. They are
violating the codes Of their in
dtvidual industries with the
knowledge Of the code authorities,
the National Recovery officials,
and even President Roosevelt.
Thus far they have succeeded
Rn retaining their Blue Eagles
upon the plea that compliance
would cause the firms to be forced
into oblivion, bankruptcy, or re.
ceivership, bringing the loss OF
Jobs to thousands who depended
upon the factories for livelihood
Smau VIOIdCOES k1lG
At the same time the compli
ance board is continuing its drive
against small violators, such as
restaurants and cleaning and dye
ing establishments, whose EN-
ployes are relatively small in mum
Der.
The largest known violator still
flying the Blue Eagle is the Harri-
man Hosiery Mills, at Hartman
Tenn. This company has been
adjudged violator of the textile
industry code as well as Of the
collective bargaining provision OF
the recovery act.
President Roosevelt on March
13 ordered the Blue Eagle to be
taken from the mills, but so far
the Executive order has not been
carried out.

company's economic stability"
Further inquiry in the NRA'S
compliance division reveals that
similar conditions exist in many
other plants of Various industries
in all sections of the country.
Another company cited before
the compliance division is the
manufacturer Of cheap shoes in a
populous Southern community.
The workers, numbering about
400, are paid a maximum Of Sc
weekly. To make it possible for
them to exist the workers must
cultivate small farms and gardens.
When NRA officials moved to
force the company to comply with
law and the industry'S code, the
workers asked that the company
be left undiSturbed on the theory
that half a loaf is better than
none"
Most Of the violators Of this
caliber are located in small towns
where the companies in question
are among the few industries of
the community.

Critic of Veterans
Relief Set Straight

To the Editor of The STAR
The letter appearing in your issue OF
January 9, 1884, entitled, Waste in
the System of Veterans Relief indi-
Gates such a dearth of information as
to the functions and achievements OF
the Veterans Administration that 1t IS
thought that your readers might be IN
terested in a brief statement OF the
facts
1t is apparent from your CORE
spondent's reference to our architects
and engineers that he is not aware of
the fact that the Veterans Admins
tration has been charged with the con-
struction, maintenance and operation
of some seventy-odd hospitals and SOL
diers' homes to furnish medical and
domiciliary care for veterans OF all
wars. The architects and engineers
have planned and supervised the con-
struction of these facilities during the
past ten years.
For the past fiscal year. of the total
of s833, ,499, ,OOO44 which was disbursed
by the Veterans Administration, 86.57
per cent was paid in direct benefits to
veterans; 982 per cent in indirect
benefits (Which includes all costs of
hospitalization) and Notwithstanding
the fact that We have had to maintain
altogether over 100 field stations (hos-.
pitals, homes and regional Offices, our
administrative expenses for the past
year were only 361 per cent of the
total expenditure.

Signal Lights Needed
To Protect Pedestrians

To the Editor of The Star:
Recently the danger to one who walks
was accentuated in most tragic man
ner A young man. 36 years Of age,
was struck down and so injured that
he died, while he was standing in the
safety zone. If the pedestrian isn't safe
there, where is he safe?
This danger is greater in the 1900
block of Connecticut avenue than at
almost any other point in the city.
Here pedestrians have neither signal
lights nor traffic policeman. They are
absolutely dependent upon their luck
or agility IN reaching the safety zone.
Even there they are not safe, for au-
toists take the entire space, tracks and
traffic lanes as well, for themselves.
And they skirt so near the mark as to
make the pedestrian feel anxious and
at times terrified. This was Strikingly
illustrated on a recent snowy morning.
1t was imperative that I reach my
physicians office following an opera
ton. Wife was with me. Cars came
so close to the white line as to splash
us with wet snow, and at last compel
us to call taxi to save our lives. We
came back on the street cars with per-
feet safety The autoists here are no
better and no worse than elsewhere-in
fact, they are from everywhere. They
are only unrestrained. That restraint
must come in the form of signal lights.

servation that unless that Is done hu-
man life will be needlessly sacrificed

Thirty.Hour Week
Urged as Remedy

To the Editor of The Star:
Why doesn't this N. r. A bird take
its head out of the sand and get wise
to itself? I see the general admits that
the unemployment has fallen far short
of the goal set. If he has just become
aware of this fact, he shouldn't admit
it, for it has been obvious to the public
this long time
If were in a position to suggest.
would say: Pass a Federal law limit
ing the working hours to 80 week,
make not single exception. This
would do away with all the supposed
to-be heads of the N. R. A. The tree is
top-heavy as it is. Cut away all this
wages, or boards or investigations. All
these things will adjust themselves as
they have in the past.
With the hours limited to 80 week
every one wills have work; what If wages
are cut? A half cake is better than
none. Competition will adjust wages
and most of the other evils that the
codes are making so much to do about.
A workingman, an honest. self-sup-
porting man, is an asset to his country
even though his wage be but living
one. The unemployment crisis is with
us. Remove the C.. w. A. and other
Federal relief measures, and We have
gained nothing during the past year In
the way of unemployment.
I'm just poor dumb farmer, and
only know what I read in the papers,
but so long have been acquainted
with failure In one form or another I
can easily recognize it.
From my own observation the N. r.
A. is not even upheld by the people
who signed it. Why? Because there
are too many exceptions.
A 3O-hour universal week would work
q hardship on some, but so does the
depression. So say put the people
to work. r. W. COCHRAN.

George r. Miller.

Word comes from Mexico City of the
death yesterday of George r. Miller,
until December l last editor of the
Detroit News. He was journalist of
the old school, faithful to the literary
traditions by which it was distinguished.
But he also was possessed of a genius
for the appreciation of the new instru-
ments, the new methods, which science
and invention have made available to
publishers. An age that is gone and
an age that is only beginning met in
his mind, and he was a link between
the two. Thus it happened that under
his management the paper to which he
gave the best portion of his life was
and providentially still is one of the
most attractively written and one of the
most constructively progressive journals
in the United States.
Mr.. Miller, however, never limited
his efforts to any single community
field. He had the national point of
view, was cognizant of the ties which
bind cities and States. From 1896 to
1900 and again from 1905 to 1918 he
made his headquarters in Washington,
interpreting events and personalities as
they developed in the changing kaleido-
scope of the Capital In 1922 he was
instrumental in the organization of the
North American Newspaper Alliance,
a coast-to- coast news and feature serv-
ice with connections in score of other
countries
In personal character he was one of
those fortunate individuals who attain
maturity without losing the driving
power the zeal and enthusiasm of
youth. His hair was white but his eyes
were clear as recently as the dinner Of
the Gridiron Club December 9. His
friends expected him to remain in
harness to the end, and he did not fail
them
Altogether, he had a good life. Its
purposes were idealiStic as well as
practical, and its fruits are the increase
of knowledge and discrimination among
the people whose servant he was. He
will be remembered for the contribution
he made to American civilization, for
the influence which he exerted upon
his own and a succeeding generation.
