HELPING ALIEN WORKERS

Well it was bit of shock to learn that German steel
was being imported for the $42 Trborough
bridge which is being built with government funds to
make jobs for American workers. There seems to have
been some buck passing who is responsible for this
order of foreign material but there is question about
the protests which have arisen the idea we are told
it won't happen again.
William Green written protest to Secretary lckes'
is reported to have said:
"Inasmuch as congress appropriates the funds for
public works projects in order to relieve unemployment
and alleviate widespread distress the United Sates 1t
is difficult for labor understand how said funds could
be used for the purpose Of buying material manufactured
in Germany Such action contradictory to the AIMS
and purposes Of the public relief measure.
Pubic works relief funds spent for the purchase OF
material manufactured in Germany would to create
employment for German workers. while American work.
ing men who are thoroughly qualified and seeking to
produce the material are idle"
Mr. Green by these arguments shows himself hopeessy
provincial which just another way of saying he is hope
essly American. Didn't he hear of Secretary OF
State Hull and his ecOnomis philosophy? If he has read it
and believed it, he must know that the very best thing
which could happen for American workmen would be to
buy material from Europe which would give jobs to Euro
pean workmen Then because buy Of them, the nice
European workmen will buy from us, everything will be
happy and there won't be any depression again
The plan has already been tried with success Just now
we are buying millions of dollars worth Of farm produce
grown by alien agrcuturss And not ony it be said
that farmers idle, they actually paid by the
government Tor Oeg lde 80 II must Oe all TlgC or the
Brain Trust wouldn't have it that way
If Mr. Green is old fashioned enough to believe that
have prosperity in America by purchasing the material
produced by workmen when we have splendid
chance buy European goods which will keep alien work
busy then he doesn't know the latest theories about
trade pacts and foreign concessions.
But even if he doesn't know about it he will learn
lot more the subject in the future. Our state
department is pretty busy with these pacts which will
make America prosperous through buying its goods
abroad Canada has been pu over and there others
in the offing Of course the nations which promised to
pay their war debts and didn't may fail to buy what they
promised to buy after they get the concessions they want
But why worry about little thing like that? We are living
in new age, and Mr. Green like of the rest Of
is little slow in getting adjusted to it.

THE POTATO LAW IS HERE

We have into the of regimented potatoes.

will be buying and eating stamped spuds. Not taxed
potatoes perhaps, because only those to be taxed
which raised beyond the limit set by Papa Wallace
Those which raised within the quota will bear tax
exemption stamps These will be the size of ordinary
postage stamps, gray in color and printed in weight de-
nominations Of from two to fifty pounds to be used in ac
cordance with the size Of the potato container The
stamps for potatoes which taxes paid because the
tubers raised outside the quota will be about the size
of special delivery stamps So you ought to know by the
size Of the stamp whether you buying regmented
horse and buggy potatoes The word 'buggy" is used
advisedly and with no reference to insects
In order that your memory may be refreshed as to
the potato law which is designed to raise the price
of the tubers we'll to fix the number which potato
grower may raise the following is quoted from recent
speech by Representative Wadsworth, of New York. a
statesman who ''knows his potatoes we'll his onions
and who says of the potato legislaton:\
that no farmer in the United States may raise and sell
more than five bushels of potatoes per year without the
permission of the government that if he sells more than
the amount allotted to him without paying the prohibve
tax he may be fined and upon the second oense sent to
hat the person who purchases illegal potatoes may
also be fined and sent to JAIL and finally that the person
who has knowledge Of Illicit sale and purchase and
fails to act the governments snooper' in reporting
the violation may also be punished.
OF course there is much history behind the potato
control act There folks who unknd enough to
