country during the month more
than double that Of a year ago, and
that imports we're up IN nearly the
same proportion. Obviously. there
fore. the arrangement was a splen-
did one and justifies similar agree
ments with other countries We
also have trade pacts with Brazil
and Belgium. but they were not
signed until last month.
The deal We made with Cuba also
affected our trade with the Phil
ippine Islands. Our imports from
there Jumped TO S2O.713Il43 for the
month. from sl0,O3O.334 in Janu-
airy. 1884. The explanation for this,
10 doubt, is TO be found largely
in the quota established on sugar
entries. To get in under the wire
the Filipinos hustled sugar into this
market. and in doing so went over
their quota for last year. The sur
plus was held in bonded ware
houses until Jan. l. 1885. and was
not counted as imports until that
time.
OUR imports from Germany
~ we're higher in January. but
our exports fell TO S4.734.542 from
si25. 73O.O85 in the corresponding
month Of last year Probably Ger
many'S lack Of gold with which 10
meet her foreign obligations had
a great deal to do with the slump.
Last year that nation owed US
50 .O56. 629 on the months dealings,
whereas this year We owed her
S2.179O21. our policy of main
tanning our cotton price well above
the world market price no doubt
.aIsO entered into the development,
Us did also the class preludices
'Ehich have been created.
France appears to have squared
trade accounts with us during the
year. In January, 1884. she took
S13 200. 4OT of our goods. and we
took but s5.203. 286 of her goods.
This year in January, however, we
sold her only S7543. 765 Of our prod
uce and bought from her $685.
606. Probably she would have con-
tinued TO import the goods We have
TO sell had we opened up our mar
ket TO her wines and liquors. De-
valuation Of the dollar should have
made 10 possible 10 sell more Of our
goods TO France than a year ago
because Of the higher purchasing
power Of the franc. but artificial
restrictions kept them out.
NUR trade with Russia provides
~ one Of the sore spots Of the
years developments. Whereas after
recognition We had anticipated a
flood Of our surplus produce 70 that
country. We actually made a very
poor showing. In January Of this
wear We bought nearly twice as
fmuch from that nation as we sold
TO her. We imported from Russia
81 .433. 9O6 in the first month Of the
current year. as cOntrasted with
but S691 .O83 a year ago. and ex-
ported $685. 53, compared with

January sales of association
members, which comprise
about two-thirds of produc-
ton, were so per cent ahead
of the like 1884 month. Auto
mobile production continues
at a fast pace.
During 1884 there were 100000
American autos sold abroad, which
contrasts with the 1882 low of only
10000, and the 1929 peak in foreign
sales of nearly 100000 cars. The
term export" was avoided by Mr.
Bauer on grounds that Canadian
plants of American manufacturers
account for an appreciate share Of
American cars going to all, parts Of
the world.
The Union of South Africa, Aus
tralia and Sweden are currently eX-
cellent markets for American autos,
with the gold bloc nations tagging
in aggregate purchases behind those
whose currencies have been deval-
ued. Last years sales in Sweden
we're double those of 1888.
Roosevelt Policy Effective
Tariffs and currency revaluation
have been important influences in
the world market for American au-
tomobiles, according to Mr.. Bauer
Efforts of the Roosevelt Admins
tration toward breaking down tariff
barriers already have created bet
ter sentiment abroad toward this
country, even though the tangible
results of the Administration re-
ciprocal treaty program thus far has
not been great.
Dollar devaluation has proved a
boon to foreign demand for Ameri-
can cars, said Mr.. Bauer. Ordinar-
lily with dollar devaluation, it was
to be expected that auto prices
would be raised. This did not,
however, happen.
Half the Price in Spain
Thus the purchase price of an
American auto dropped appreciably
in terms of foreign currencies. In
the case of Spain, for example Mr..
Bauer pointed out that it now re-
uuires onlv half as many Spanish
pesetas to buy an American auto
mobile as it did in 1882.
Peculiarities and certain taboos
relating to likes and dislikes in au-
tomobile color and types were dis
counted by Mr. Bauer. The prin
cipal exception to this is the ORR
entail aversion for red and yellow
automobiles. In Japan red connOtes
the privilege of royalty and yellow
is the color of mourning. The Chi
nese similarly place a taboo Oh
American cars in the color Of
mourning.
Autos Civilize World
1.-The worldwide popularity of
movies and the common usage of
the automobile have been prime in
fuences in knitting the peoples OF
the world closer together" said the
export manager of the Automobile
Manufacturers Association
Many customs and taboos are
fast disappearing. AS far as Ameri-
can automobiles go, the Mexican,
South African or British Indian buy
their autos with essentially the same
tastes and preferences based on
price, service and performance"

BY COL. ROBERT G. Ebert

The nation is an industrial unit,
and so far as industry is concerned
the boundaries of the states are
imaginary. To enact separate laws
in 48 states would be to take
course distinctly out of harmony
with industrial economics.
However, there is considerable
doubt if direct Federal legislation on
unemployment insurance would be
constitutional. 1t is an open ques-
ton if an act which sets up Fed
eral unemployment law would stand
up in the Supreme Court.
But, of course, the Constitution is
subject to amendment; or, If
amendment seems impracticables at
this time, an excise tax law may be
enacted by Congress imposing tax
on employers in all the states, which
will clearly define what the states
have to do in unemployment lnsur-
ance to avoid the tax.
In the absence of Federal Jur1S-
diction the next best thing would
be to institute identical plans in all
the states and keep them going I'M
til the Constitution is properly
amended. After that takes place
the state administrations may be
transferred to the Federal govern
ment.
Summary of Plan
The main features of the Ebert
plan are summarized here:
The plan should be compulsory
on all employers and workers that
fall within its scope.
Coverage would include all EN-
ployeS in industrial and manufac-
turing establishments that employ
one or more insurable people. Also
workers in the transportation Sys-
TENS, systems of communication,
mines, oil wells, garages, filling sta
tons, and so forth, forestry Except
those employed by the government,
fisheries, etc. Also clerical labor in
establishments where three or more
insurable persons are employed and
all workers in stores, wholesale and
retail, if three or more insurable
persons are employed.
1t also would include farm labor
ers, domestic servants, professional
people, such as physicians, lawyers,
engineers and employees of the Fed
eral, state, county and city govern
ments.
Contributions would amount to 4
per cent of the wages or salaries Of
all entitled to insurance under this
plan, provided they earn no more
than $50 a week. The employer is
to pay one-half on these contribu-
lions, that is, 2 per cent, and the
worker per cent.
Contributions or premiums would
be pooled into a national reserve
fund assuming in this case a Fed
eral, nation wide insurance act).
There are to be no segregated re-
serves for industries, corporations or
individuals.

Eligibility for Benefits

Any insured person who has
worked at an assured employment
for 90 days during the previous So
weeks or 1872 days in the past 104
weeks is qualified for benefits in
case of unemployment. No benefits
shall be paid in any event until the
plan has been in operation for 40
weeks.
The time man has worked in the
past year or two years is not to be
computed by weeks but by days. The
requisite 96 days of employment
during the past year may run along
four or five days a week instead of
being continuous.
The weekly payment of benefits
should be limited on the ratio of
one weeks benefit to three weeks of
insured employment during the past
two years, but in no case should the
weekly benefit payments exceed 26
in one year.
An employe who loses his job
must report within six days to the
local Federal employment Office.
The unemployed workers name
would be registered and an effort
is made to find job for him in
his regular trade, and he is expect
ed to look for himself.
He should be required to report
twice a week at the employment
Office. After a waiting period of
four weeks an insured person goes
on the benefit pay roll. He con-
tinueS to report to the employment
Office twice a week.
Penalty for Misconduct
There should be a penalty for
those who are discharged for mis-
conduct or who have quit their jobs
voluntarily; the waiting period
might be twice as long. After eight
weeks they should be put on the
benefit pay roll and treated as any
other unemployed person. Benefits
should not be paid to insured per-
sons who are participating directly
in strike.
The weekly benefit payments
should be varied from IS per cent
to SIS per cent of the benef1ciary's
former wages, according to the num-
Der of his dependents. No benefit
should be less than SIS week, and
none more than $40 a week, includ-
ing allowances for dependents.
This tentative plan undoubtedly
would be subject to change as to
details, such as amounts to contri-
button, extent of benefits, coverage
and the ratio of income to expense.
Any unemployment insurance sys-
tenn will necessarily have to be ex-
perimental to some extent in the
beginning. There should be no
compromise, however, as to the in
portance of these two vital prin-
ciples:
1. The plan should be national in
scope and controlled by the Federal
government.
g Employers and workers should
participate equally in both contri-
buttons and management.

SOFT COAL WAGE
STILL DEADL0CKED
ParIeys Resumed, but Both
Sides Renew Claims and
Fight Changes.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The prolonged negotiations toward
new wage-and contracts for soft
coal miners got off to fresh start
today
They started from scratch, however.
The United Mine Workers still asked
the $3.50 basic daily pay and the 30
hour week they sought when the
negotiations first began in February.
The operators still offered to renew
the present scale-a $5 day and 35-
hour week.
Unless they get together by July
81, or President Roosevelt again steps
in, John L. Lewis, chief of the mine
union, says he will order his men to
stay out Of the mines August /.
The President has averted a threat
ened strike three times by obtaining
an extension of present wages. Each
time he asked more time for Congress
to act on the Guffey coal stabiliza-
ton bill to set up a little N. R. A"
for the bituminous industry.
That measure still is before House
Ways and Means Subcommittee. De-
spite its presence on Mr.. Roosevelt's
list of desired legislation, the sub
committee has held up its report for
three weeks since completion of
hearings.
Some operators say enactment of
the bill is necessary to maintain even
the present wage scale. Others, who
want the bill killed. say they can
pay present wages through price con-
troll by the marketing agency plan.
Dozens of scraps among the oper-
ators on wage differentials between
and within production districts had
to be settled before the Negotiating
Committee could get down to work
on the basic scale. Attempts to
settle these differences probably will
occupy the committee for several days.

PREDICT VICTORY
Campaign Committee Head Says

BY the Associated Press.
A private sounding by the Demo-

mittee brought reports today that, de-
spite some weak spots, most Demo-
cratic members believed another party
victory was in the off1ng.
Representative Drewry. Democrat,
of Virginia. chairman of the Cam
paign Committee. said he had received
more than 100 replies from a letter
he sent Democratic Representatives
recently asking their views on pros
poets for a Democratic victory with
particular regard to their own district.
There were few who reported
conditions we're not so favorable in
their district" he said, but these were
far in the minority. Most members
felt there would be another Demo-
cratic victory next year.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-25
Radical Conservatism

One of the latest moves of Premier Ben- nett of Canada, leader of the Conserva- tive Party campaigning for continuance in power, is broadside attack on debt. He proposes Comprehensive reconstruction of the Canadian debt structure, public, Private, domestic and external"
 He would write down the property debts of city people by applying principle already in force with farm owners, giving them fresh start and letting them pay according to their capacity" For the national debt he proposes a huge conver- sion scheme, refunding the obligations at lower interest rates and apparently seal ing down the principal. Similar processes would be carried out with provincial, municipal and railway debts Future gov ernment bands would no longer be tax exempt There would be full financial cooperation between federal, provincial and municipal authorities for public and private debt relief.
 This is a more radical program than has yet been attempted in the United States It is the more impressive because it is put forward in the name of the Con- servatives. Bennett seems to be outdong the Liberals in their own game. American observers begin to wonder whether there will be any of the traditional British con- servation left in the usually moderate Dominion.
 Bennett is hardly expected to win, be- cause he carries the political stigma of the depression, and because he has so dras- tically changed his policies that many question his sincerity and his hold on his own party. Nevertheless he is given credit for realizing, more clearly than many statesmen do, either in the Don1in- ion or the States that the "debt structure" is fundamental problem, without whose solution many other vital problems cannot be solved.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-25
Don't Be Hoodwinked!

Why are the republican papers giving so much time and attention to the lnde- pendent democrats? That is a question that is not very difficult to answer.
 Do you think for a minute that they want Roger Connor elected mayor in pref erence to Major John M Burrall. Are you willing to believe that they would prefer John Savino in the comptrollers office to Sherwood Rowland.
 Would they prefer Miss Catharine Hanlon to Pasquale Di Ciccio. Surely you don't imagine they wish Eugene Sheehan to Steve Winston. Are they more anxious for Joseph Sullivan as treasurer than for Chester Gillette? Is their choice for town clerk, Miss Mary McKenna, their real candidate, or is it Mrs. Elizabeth Coe?
 Is Luddy Burke their man for sheriff or is Tom Bane their hearts de- sire? Are you simple enough to believe that they want the William Kolbecks, the William Clearys and the John Phelans as aldermen instead of the Francis Phillips, the Joseph Wilhelms and the Arthur Dubois? Of course they don't.
 They realize that the independent ticket has no chance. Furthermore, they realize that the republican ticket is in the same boat The only hope of the republicans and the republican papers is that the independents poll enough votes to cause trouble
 Don't be hoodwinked by such a both- ends against the middle game as the Pape papers are carrying on. With them 1t is anything or anyone to beat the Hayes administration.
