BY COMEDIAN

LOS ANGELES, July 2. UP) -
The plea of Eddie Cantor, motion

United States unite in protection
against the same thing that eX-
lists in Europe" today created q
sombre tone at B'nai Birth grand
lodge convention.
The comic, earnestly addressing
1000 delegates. declared that for
the first time in my life I am
afraid"
You are living in precarious
times Cantor said You know
the situation in Europe as far as
Jews are concerned; but I doubt
if many Of you know how close to
the same situation we are here in
America.
We Jews have nothing to fear
from good Christians. We are their
brothers and sisters. But I am
afraid Of people who pretend to be
good Christians and those who are
not good Jcws.
you must unite to protect your
selves
Cantor then warned his audi
enco about the danger of carrying
free speech over the radio too far,

BACK TO FARM
MOVEMENTS
/ HELD FAILURE

MONTREAL, Nov. 21. (U.P)-
"Back to the land movements
adopted in many countries as a
means of solving unemployment
uroblems in large cities, are dan
gerous experiments. according TO
the conclusion reached by three
McGin university professors IN a
hook on The British Immigrant
written after a careful study oI
colonization schemes.
The three professors. DR.. Car, A.
Dawson. LLOYD G. Renolds, and
Prof. L. c. Marsh. believe that the
possibilities of city residents max
ing a success on the land are Inn
tied.
Calls Price Too Great
THE reorganization OF the oc-
cupational abilities Of mature per
sons is a longtime process and IN
wolves great uncertainty, they as
sert. The price is too great from
every point of view and 1t seems
most unwise to attempt to recon
stitute agriculturalists out OF per
sons who have dwelt for many
wears in urban centers.
DR.. Dawson declares that sclen-
tific findings have convinced him
that the Province of Quebec's great
scheme of placing people back on
the land is doomed because living
off the land is a myth and pop
ular fallacy
Sure Livelihood Doubted
DR.. Dawson disproveS the as
sumption that settlers can live off
the products of their farms direct
ly and need sell little to outsiders
or purchase little from them in
turn by quoting other authorities
TO show that the farmer who IS
able to furnish directly from his
farm one-third of the total ex-
penditure for family needs is lucky,
"As the farmer approaches the
point where a very small propor-
tion of his living is obtained by
selling his products and purchas-
ing goods and services with the pro-
oeeds, he declares, his standard
of living becomes excessively low.
Farmers live off the land but
from the most part indirectly by
way of accessible markets. An ac-
ceSsible market is a fundamental
prerequisite Of modern settle
ment.

BREACH OVER

tcions that poison in the two-pound
bags of baking soda sold at cut
rate" department store was not
there by accident, but by design.
Police estimated approximately
500 families had purchased quanti-
ties of the cooking agent. unaware
that some packages. at least, con-
tained lethal quantities of arsenic
and fluoride.
OF the number who purchased
the soda. three were dead and 2l
others suffered various degrees OF
illness after using it either in
cooking meals at home or for relief
OF upset StomachS.
Additional casualties were not
expected because of a newspaper
and radio campaign of warning
speeded by Dr.. J. c. Geiger, San
Francisco city health officer, after
the cause of Mrs. Katherine Osle'S
death became known.
Fluoride Poisoning
Mrs. Ogle died Nov. after din
ing with a woman friend. After
some delay. it was found her death
was due to fluoride poisoning. Then
the investigation got under way,
speeding to a certain point, and
then reaching sudden stalemate.
Mrs. Bessie Shufelt, So. and her
father. Alfred Terry, 81, died mean
time.
Cause of the sudden Affections
was traced. The poison, 1t was
found. was contained in the bak-
ing soda sold in retail lots from
bulk barrel containers delivered to
the department store by the Manno
Salvage company, where the bar
rels were packed from contents OF
broken packages of a nationally
known brand of baking soda.
Conditions displeasing health au-
thorities an indiScriminately
stocked storeroom with a variety OF
articles scattered about the place
were found to exist at the sal
wage company. Beyond that how
ever. investigators found little to
aid them.
Arrest Two
They padlocked the company and
arrested Morris tJoe) Rosenthal,
proprietor of the department store,
and Mich Mano. salvage company
operator. on charges of violating
pure food laws in selling the con-
taminated product and selling the
national manufacturer product in
bulk. trademarked without tn e
manufacturer consent. Both men
were released under $3.50 bond.
