manufactured commodities are
coming to Us from abroad-even
American flags made in Japan. And
1t Is equally true that since our
farmers were paid by the AAA to
cut down production, we have been
importing more and more agricul-
tural produce from abroad.
And still our State Department
Is going merrily ahead to make
trade agreements which will permit
the entry Of still more foreign
goods in the hope that we will sell
more abroad.
Foreign production Is so. much
cheaper than ours that even our
present tariff wa1l is ineffective.
What we need is higher wall
not more leaks in the dixie which
is already proving impotent when
it comes to protecting us from a
flood Of products of coolie labor in
Asia and slave labor in Russia, to
say nothing of the modern low cost
industrial machine in Central and
Western Europe.-Preston Times.

The way things look Franklin
Delano Roosevelt is the champion
debt builder of the nation. Looking
at his record in public office one
is led to believe that in the huge
debt he is building up for the coun-
try the New Deal president is rum
ming true to form.
When Governor Al. Smith turn
ed over the reins of New York
State to Roosevelt, he left his sue
cessor a balance of 80 and a half
million dollars in the state treas
ury. Several years later when
Roosevelt left the governors chair
New York State had a deficit of
over A million dollars. Perhaps
this explains how Roosevelt has
been able to run the national debt
to over % billion dollars-a new
all-time debt record.-Clarissa In

In spite of the fact that the MIRA
was completely invalidated by a UNI
animous decision of the Supreme
Court, the MIRA organization is
still maintained with 2,760 employ
ees on the payroll at a cost OF
about 100000 year. If city adj
ministration INDUCED in any such
unlawful spending Of public money,
any taxpayer could sue to recover
the salaries paid, but evidently
things are run differently in Wash
ington. That's just another reason
why the country does not want the
affairs of government concentrat-
ed in Washington. No mere tax
payer can sue Uncle Sam.-Morris

Night Football for Eveleth
There may be people who ina
CINE that night football is not what
it is cracked up to be, but the
skeptical will change their minds
once they witness game of this
kind. One does not have to go far
Their than Hibbing to find this out.
The Big Villagers will state that
the facilities and lighting placed at
their athletic field was one OF the
best investments ever made there.
To begin with, night football
practically allows every man an OPP
portunity to see the game inasmuch
as the majority do not work nights.
There is twice the thrill to con-
test at night because the players
and the BAH can be followed more
closely. The increased attendance
will 20 far in paying all expenses
attendant to making night football
possible; this has been demonstrate
ed.
The local school board would do
well to consider this project which
has been tried in many places and
proved so successful. There Is ev-
ery reason to believe that city foot
ball teams and contests will be re-
vived. Our year-round program OF
sports certainly would be expanded
with nights thrown in the present
,inaun Clarion.
