seisrano' Jr. Mr.. Belgrano was
elected unanimously. In his speech of
acceptance he said he would conduct
his office with vigor and determination.
"Our country is filed today with too
much talk about isms," he said. 'Ev-
erywhere we hear about Communism,
Socialism, Fascism, Hitlerism, and 9TH
ers too numerous to mention.
There is room in this country for
only one ism. That Is Americanism,
Without equivocation or reservation,
say to you that under my administra-
ton this American Legion is sworn
enemy of every other ism. That is
declaration Of war"
The following were elected as ma
tional vice commanders:

ceeded last years level The number
of persons without any employment he
puts at S,34S,OO0. Those without jobs
in industry in September numbered
10,951 900. Jobs for 100000 were pro-
vided by conservation camps and emer-
gency relief projects, "but these emer-
gency jobs" he said, 'are not Great
ing incomes to pay the COSTS"
Mr.. Green continued: Gould not the
administration invite all industries to
cooperate in a general program to in
crease production and put men to
work?
IF the nationwide level Of all pro-
duction were lifted 80 per cent in
balanced program, adjusting produc-
ton to consumption needs, each indus
try would then be assured that all
other industries would increase their
production, and the wealth produced
by putting labor to work would create
income to buy the product of all.
'"rhe total number at work in the
United States was 39,764,000 in Sep
TENDER, 1888; by September, 1884, it
had declined, to 39,367,00 During
these II months the normal increase
in population has added close to 49,
600 to the army of job seekers for
whom industry provides no work. Thus
the number without work in industry
has risen from 10,10S,O00 in Septem-
Der, 1888, to 10,951, 900 in September,
1884"
Quite as gloomy as Mr.. Green's re-
port was a statement of the National
Industrial Conference, board. This
agency noted that the general improve
ment in manufacturing activity usually
occurring in September failed to ma
terialize. Instead, declines of 81 per
cent in the number of wage earners
employed, of 81 per cent in total man
hours worked and of 5.S per cent in
payrolls disbursed, were reported. In
addition, 1t was stated, the rise in the
cost of living from August to Septem-
Der depressed real weekly earnings of
wage earners 81 per cent.
On the other hand, the United States
Chamber of Commerce in its summary
of conditions throughout the nation
reports continued improvement of bust
ness sentiment although it has not as
yet been reflected definitely In the vol
ume Of transactions.
Assurances by President Roosevelt
that present governmental lending op-
erations are not to be permanent and
that private enterprise will be sup
ported, the organization reported, have
been received favorably by business
and indu-try.
Steady improvement in the agricul-
tural situation is noted by the farm
credit administration. The volume of
business of production credit associa-
tons registered an increase of 10 per
cent during the first 10 days of Octo-
Der. Applications for farm mortgage
loans are about one-third of the peak
reached year ago.

sion, one of the new agencies set up by
the Roosevelt admin
razor istration as a per-
Mergers manent part of the
nations regulatory
structure, is preparing to ask congress
for an amendment of the communica-
lions act of 1884 enabling it to approve
mergers. OF course, the particular
problem involved In the communica-
tons program is the question of mer-
gers of such gigantic corporations as
the Western Union and the Postal tele-
graph companies and some of the radio
companies. The implications and the
potentialities of this movement, how
ever. go much further.
f It Is too early to attempt a forecast
Of congressional opinion on the COM
munications proposal but 1t is an op-
perfume time to consider what may
happen II congress should approve this
step toward creation Of single bust
nesses for single lines of service in this
country.
1t is regarded also as interesting to
examine the effect upon the country If
1t were to be subjected to a well regu-
lated monopoly of all the business In
that line such as has occurred in the
case of the Bell Telephone system.
Some members of the commission
and its staff feel that merger of the
large telegraph companies, for instance,
would result In establishment of a
more closely knit network of telegraph
lines and offices than now exists. They
call attention to the fact that in France
there are almost one-third. more tele-
graph Offices than exist in this country
although the population of the United
States is more than twice as great as
that of the French republic. It would
seem then If there were only a single
telegraph system in this country, small
cities, towns and villages would be able
to have better telegraph service and
more of 1t than they now have.
Details of any merger plan are too
Intricate and too complex to be treated
in the space available here but the fact
that the communications commission Is
giving consideration to such a proposal
leads ON to exploration of merger pos
sibilities and the effect among other
lines-such, for example, as the radio.

CHICAGO'S magnificent Worlds fair

forever at midnight, October 81, amid
a riot of gayety and with final burst

last-day visitors left the grounds with
a feeling of sadness. Mayor Kelly had

midnight Mr.. Dawes threw a switch
that shut off all lights on the grounds
and set off a gigantic fireworks display.
This was not quite the end, however,
for the lights were turned on again

midnight, the Halloween carnival con-

MANY thoughtful persons comment
AVA on the apparent discrepancy be-
tween the pleas of William Green for
more employment and the policy pur-
sued by organized labor in fostering
great strikes seemingly for the sole
purpose of enforcing unionization and
the closed shop. Many thousands of
persons are thrown out of employment
by these strikes, Industries are ham,
pered or shut down and often serious
disorders result. To the bystander it
does not seem fair that, in time of
distress, such methods should be fol-
lowed in order that the strength of the
unions might be increased. The latest
example of this policy is the strikes
which have resulted In the closing of
all the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
company's shops and warehouses in
Cleveland and which are in effect in
Milwaukee against the A. and p. and
two other chain store companies. There
was prospect that these walkouts
would spread throughout Ohio and
Wisconsin.

CONVERSATIONS preliminary to
~ the 1885 naval conference opened
in London, and the Japanese did what
was expected of them. Ambassador
Matsudaira and Admiral Yamamoto
told the British and the Americans in
turn that Japan was not satisfied with
the existing treaties-everyone knew
that-and set forth these main points:
/. The powers should agree that
Japan may have equality, 'in princi-
ple," in defensive ornaments.
2. The ratio system should be abol-
ished, and defensive" ships limited on
a total tonnage basis, instead Of by
categories.
3. Each nation would drastically re-
duce offensive" ornaments, thus cut
ting down the chances Of any war Of
aggression, while building whatever
defensive" ships within the tonnage
limit agreed it feels 1t needs for Sc
curity.

THERE were predictions Of civil war
I in Austria between the two "pri-
vate armies" Chancellor Schuschnigg's
Catholic storm troops and the Fascist
Heimwehr headed by Prince Ernst Won
Starhemberg. The cabinet stirred up
the old taxation trouble by legislation
taking from the provinces and munich
palities their right to share in taxes
collected in Vienna. With this as an
excuse, the opposition to the govern
ment is exhibiting intense activity.
The Heimwehr leaders are demand
ing that the nations corporate parlia-
ment be composed entirely of repre-
sentatives of the auxiliary armed
forces. Chancellor Schuschnigg and
other Catholic leaders are bitterly op-
posed to this.

his plucky wife, jeanette, the only Ii
censed woman balloon pilot in the
United States. They assembled from
Detroit with their 100000 cubic-foot
bag, passed over Lake Erie, rose to a
height of about ten miles, and then
came down on farm four miles west
of Cadiz, Ohio. The gondola landed
in tree but the two occupants were
only slightly bruised and scratched,
and it was believed the delicate scien-
tific instruments they carried were un-
injured. The trip was made for the
purpose of studying the cosmic rays,
and no effort was made to establish a
record for altitude.

RESTFUL POSITION WHILE
DRIVING

Are you planning long trip this
summer involving the driving of an
automobile eight or ten hours a
day?
"If you are," says a motorist' va
cation bulletin of the Keystone Au-
tomobile Club of Maryland, 'you
will want to drive with the least pos
sible fatigue and the way to do that
is sit correctly and not drive too
fast"
Celebrating on the idea, the bulle-
tin, issued by Albert E. Buckley,
Manager of the Club in Maryland,
says:
"Slumping over the wheel is net
regarded as restful by authorities
who have conducted scientific stud
les on the subject. The most rest
full position for the driver is sitting
erect with the back of the seat pro-
viding support.
OF course, the seat should be ad-
iusted to the requirements of the in
liyidual that's why the manufactur-
ers have made them adjustable.
"The driver who is relaxed finds
motoring effortless. The driver
Who 'tightens up, holds himself
