America, and that we are met with many difficult problems, but we dc not believe that a better America can be secured over the ruins of the things that have made Am erica great, but rather by a con- tinuous study and strong, hard labor, building patiently on the work of those who have preceded us where such work is sound, and replacing it where it is found faul- ty, but such replacement to be se- cured by methods provided by the constitution and not as the Con- munists would have us do it, de- stroy all of our institutions and the fruits of labor, toll and sac- rifices of generations.
 We believe that any citizen can under our constitution advocate any system of economics or government so long as he does not encourage or advocate the violation of law or advocate the overthrow of our gov- ernment by force and violence"
 Must Go Ahead
 Vice Commander Worthwine said the Legion recognized that the goy- ernment of this country could not stand still, but that the constitu- ton provides the way for change. tho Na ton the Legion declared against the forcible introduction into Am erica of Fascism, Nazism, and Com munism. He further said that the Legion believed the United States should not in any way interfere with those people that have adopt ed those forms of government or economy.
 People Important
 Commenting upon the effects of the long depression in this coun- try, MT Worthwine observed that by criticism of our system in order to eradicate evils some of our peo- pie are lending aid and encour- agement to those that actually de- sire to destroy our government and on the other hand, some people who are opposed to the methods adopt ed to assist the unfortunate victims Of the depression give the impress sion that there is nothing good in all our efforts; that not even the patient people who pay the taxes are to have any credit for altruistic motives.
 MT. Worthwine made striking comparison between this country at the end of seven years of de- pression, and Russia at the end of seventeen years of Communism, showing how ultimately more pros porous the United States was, as an example the U. s. has 25,0O0,0OO automobiles and trucks, the rest of the entire world. 100000. and

q more safe and orderly preservation
of them," that national attention was
centered upon the careless and negli-
gent manner in which such records
were being stored. The committee re-
ported on that occasion that it found
them "in a state Of great disorder and
exposure, and in a situation neither
safe nor convenient nor honorable to
the Nation"
As . result, an appropriation was
voted for the construction. in "the
building west Of the Presidents house"
of a number of fireproof rooms for
the deposit Of public papers and rec
ords. The country, however, grew far
too rapidly for any such provision to
remain adequate for long. Moreover,
fires were springing up In all quarters
of the Government buildings, and
many valuable records were thus de-
stroyed, as well as by heat, dampness,
insects, or frequent removal from place
to place. Stamp collectors and auto
graph dealers made Illicit inroads, too,
upon Government papers, and many
priceless documents were purloined or
mutilated. On one occasion 400 tons
Of official records were sold to q junk
dealer by q Government off1cial, who
declared he had insufficient space for
his office force.

A Hall Of Records for the storage
Of noncurrent material was recon-
mended to Congress in 1877 by Presi-
dent Hayes. but that body took no ac-
ton. The original idea for storage
warehouse gradually expanded, as time
went on and nothing was done. into
a project for an archives establish
ment, in which records could be so
stored and administered as to be
readily available.
IN 1913 Congress authorized plans
= for such building, but the World
War interrupted, and other factors
occasioned delays until 1926, when,
upon recommendation of President
Coolidge. the initial appropriation was
made. In 1881 ground was broken for
the building, and in 1893 President
Hoover laid the corner stone. The
building was occupied in November,
1885.
The act "to establish q national
archives Of the United States Govern
ment, and for other purposes" which
was approved June 10, 1894, likewise
created the Office Of archivist of the
United States. The archivist is ap-
pointed by the President, by and with

It is natural enough that one should
inquire into what actually constitutes

or any nation. They comprise, in q
word, the sum total Of the documents,
papers and other records made or re-
ceived in the transaction of public
business by any official or agency Of
the Federal Government. Thus they
are not, as is sometimes believed,
merely q collection Of old documents
of historic interest. Some, as a mat

torically, serving only as records Of
individual transactions not at all his
toric in scope, but necessary in the
conduct Of official affairs.

ed on the north by Pennsylvania ave-
nue., on the east by Seventh street,
on the south by Constitution avenue
and on the west by Ninth street, the
records of this Government were in
a very sorry plight. From the days
of the first meeting Of the Continental
Congress in 1774 to 1889 the 400 bound
volumes which constituted our first
archives and recorded the delibera-
tions of that Congress had no perma-
nent abiding place and kept up with
the peregrinations of that legislative
body, to the great inconvenience Of the
Government and the damage Of the
records.
WITH the subsequent removal OF
W the newly organized Government

increased rapidly, in both volume and

when fire broke out in the War De-

took no immediate action to protect
national archives against similar dis

WHEN the Sugar Cane Special"
rolled out of Union Station on
one Of Washington's recent freezing
nights and headed for the SEMI
tropical Florida Everglades, It sig
nalized the beginning Of an inten-
sive campaign by sugar producers Of
continental United States to make
the country American-sugar con-
scious.
On that train-a nine-car collec.
ton Of the best the Pullman Co.
had to offer in travel comfort and
luxury-were some Of the country,s
best-known captains Of industry,
Government officials and members Of
Congress who were interested in Flor
ida's potentialities for producing
something besides oranges. grape
fruit, alligstors and rattlesnakes.
American sugar, made from Ameri-
can-grown cane, Is what these men
went to see at q time when others

poses.
But why this sudden interest in
American-produced sugar?
First, let's scan the roster Of some
Of the men who travelled nearly 5000
miles In four days to view the sugar
cane plantations In the fertile muck
Of Florida,s Everglades. Congress
was represented by Senators King

THE power to define the classes OF

National Archives Building, to estab-
lish regulations governing such trans
fer and to advise the archivist "in re-
spect to regulations governing the dis-
position and use Of the archives and

and to approve lists Of papers and
documents to be destroyed or other
wise disposed of, is vested in what is
known as the National Archives
Council, a body made up Of the Sec
retary Of each Of the executive de-
partments of the Government, the
chairman Of the Senate Committee on

right to the continental market under
these circumstances? The American
farmer, employing American labor,
should not be penalized by even partial
exclusion from the market that es-
sentially, rightfully, and according to
all historical precedent, belongs to
him.
"The American market for Amert-
can producers Is the only fair. Just,
and reasonable basis for considera-
ton Of any sugar legislation. Florida
does not believe In continental re-
striction, neither does she believe in
processing or excise taxes, or benefit
payments on sugar"
Peterson also points out that despite
the higher wage scale paid those
engaged in the Florida sugar industry.
in comparison with the "offshore"
areas, the State can produce sugar at
q comparable cost. 1.-THE last time the
"offshore" sugar producing areas had

"the price was five times what 1t

visited by the official party were

Lake Okeechobee In the vicinity Of
Clewiston, where the United States
Sugar Corp. has It's modern sugar

which vigorously opposed processing

ton Of continental production, was
