take. And those oil reserves are
not in Russian territory.
THAT is one restraint upon a
European war, until such time
as an offset to Japan can be
found, and that furnishes food
for American thought"
Another restraint, Neylan
pointed out, is money" asserting:
Astounding as it may appear.
European politicians believe they
can again delude us into furnish
ing men, money and supplies for
the coming horror.
Propaganda Rife
The principal export of Europe
has been propaganda. We have
. been flooded with all varieties
from the darkest red, through the
varieties of pink, brown, black
and glazing white.
propaganda has become the
most potent force in the world
today and it has potentialities
greater than those of armies.
AT the moment the typewriter
is more menacing to the United
States than the machine gun.
Already the people of Europe
are being bled white for money for
the new war machines. The
United States is looked upon as a
Golconda, and therefore a most
desirable ally"
Propaganda Technique
Neylan depicted the technique of
the master propagandists" the
Russians and the English.
OF the former, he said:
Russian propaganda is an
amazing product. Brutally OBJ
livious of truth of consistence, it
seeks to exploit misery, discomfort,
envy and human weakness with
the objective of bringing about
chaos in which a relatively small
adhesive force may seize power
or at least paralyZe any national
effort against Russia in the COM
ing European clash"
OF British propaganda, he said:
In the last few weeks some of
Englands pacifists have been
bringing to America the message
that it is going to be impossible
for the United States to stay out
of the next European war"
Explaining the economic rea-
sons back of such a British hope,
Mr.. Neylan said:
Being generous with other
peoples money is an Outstand-
ing trait of dear old Britain"

Sales Tax Repeal
Amendment Opposed
by L. A. Cattleman

With 81 million of acres of up
lands and rough sections in Cali
fornia used largely for livestock
grazing, it is easy to see what the
Single tax on land will do to food
Costs, according to j. A. McNaugh-
ton, vice president and general
manager of the Los Angeles Union
Stock yards.
McNaughton, who represents the
views of California cattleman as a
whole, emphatically defied anyone
to look into the real facts of the
Ralston amendment on the Novem-
Der ballot and vote sales tax repeal
in his oHn interests. Iie made
the statement to the California
committee against the single tax
prefacing his declaration by saying
that at first he, too, might be led
into voting repeal of the sales tax
not realizing that it would BOOM
erang with the single tax on land
and that a vote for one was vote
for the other.
we have 12ia million acres of
irrigated and productive land in the
state and about 81 million acres of
uplands and rough sections used
largely for livestock grazing. This
grazing land, of itself useless at this
time for any other purpose, cannot
carry the tax impost but the live
stock using it must, and higher
prices to the consumer will result

Alien MexicanS DebreSS
Farm Wage Says Speaker

SAN FRANCISCO, July IA. U.P)
Charges that alien Mexicans are
brought into California to depress
wages Of native American farm
workers, and an admission that
the present federal program for
the aid of migratory farm workers
would not produce permanent re-
suits, featured a talk before the
commonwealth club today by Eric
H. Thomson. assistant regional di-
rector of the reSettlement admin
istration.
The only permanent solution, he
said, Was through providing eco
nomic security to the workers so
they could establish homes. He
cited the Danish small holdings
system as an outstanding example
in helping farm laborers to rise
above pe0n3ge. The Danish gov
ernment, he said, made it possible
Tor former peonage workers to
obtain farms averaging 20 acres
each. He pointed out that over
a period of De years the loss to
the government from failure of
clients TO make payments was only
IS cents for every $1,000 invested.
W. are concerned with the mi
gratory labor problem because it
is closely bound up with our var
ious seasonal crops and their prof
liable harvesting at just the right

vegetable workers in the Los An

representatives of the state labor

The workers and their Japanese

placed to a vote of the 1900 growers
involved, they refused to accept the
settlement.
The settlement gave the workers
4 small raise in pay and partial
recognition of the Agricultural

proposed agreement, the growers
agreed to allow the union to enroll
workers and to negotiate for them
so long as men not desiring to be-
