Change

WASHINGTON.-Pe Perhaps the old men OF
Congress are rot hurrying us into war But Ihey
are doing considerably less than nothing 10 keep
Us out Of it.
As late as a month ago, It appeared lhaU
drastic. permanent neutrality legislation was Ger

ment backed by overwhelming and arueuIaVe
popular desire.
Now the atmosphere suddenly mas pecClhe

Theoretically responsible statesmen are nor nor
lering WARNINGS against the japanese. Others
are believing that freedom OF the seas must
be preserved at all costs.
There are several reasons for the change OF
outlook. But no factor is more intereStlng-hoU
to saw significant-than the cast OF characters
involved. which reveals that the contest over
neutrality is and has been, startlngly de1lmJe
conflict between the young men OF Congress ana

COUNTERFEITING WITHIN
SAN QUENTIN PRISON.

Manufacture of $4,000 worth of
spurious SO bills inside the walls of
San Quentin prison, whatever else may
be said, is a serious indictment of the
California prison system. The bills were
not crude counterfeits, but resembled
the work of experienced counterfeiters
This means that considerable amount
of time must have been put into their
manufacture by the convicts in San
Quentin. Equipment was needed. That
the criminals used the prisons engrav-
ing shop for their work is further
Indictment
Experts testifying at an investigation
advanced the opinion that a mass es-
cape could have been engineered by
much the same tactics as used by the
counterfeiters. To the casual mind, 1t
appears that guns or other weapons
might well be manufactured with little
more difficulty than were the counter
felt bills.
The incident gives rise to the recur-
ring thought that the new school may
be wrong in "babying' the criminals. No
one will argue against giving the men
an opportunity, while in prison, to bet
ter themselves. Giving them too much
latitude, however, might have disastrous
results. After all, they were sent there
as enemies of society.

UIJNITIONS INVESTIGATION
BROUGHT TO END.

Two wears of intermittent hearings
bv a senate committee have ended, writ
ing into the records the end of the NUM-
tions investigation. What good has 1t
done? What results has it achieved? 1t
has brought to light nothing that was
not known before.
The investigation has done one
thing, however, which might justify 1t
in the eyes of the people who pay the
bills. even though it accomplishes moth
ing else. 1t has brought home forcibly
the knowledge that nations do not go to
war. usually. out of patriotic fervor.
War is a codly calculated business pro-
position. or the result of a miscue in an
international political game. Some ma
tions are forced into it to protect them
selves. If they did not fight, they would
lose their rights and their identities. In
the beginnings, however, war usually can
be avoided.
The senate investigation, then, has
laid the groundwork for future policies
to keep the United States out of war. At
the same time, it has plainly shown the
need for adequate national defenses in
the face of international intrigue
, If use is made of the conclusions
reached by the committee, the investiga-
tion will have been worth while. If not,
it will have been merely waste Of
money.

Salinas Daily POST

Worthy of sober reflection in the light OF
recent local agitation for pro-ratlon ana cIoP
control to prevent quitting the lettuce marAeC
are the views expressed in the current issue VI
Western Grower and Shipper
With heavy early-season rains and record
acreage of spring planting combining TO promise
what may be the heaviest lettuce return IN LIE LIE
history of the industry in Salinas valley there
is no question that immediate and drastic steps
must be taken to avert heavy financial loss TO
growers and packers alike.
"Whv can't commodities be made to return
the cost of prCduction?" the magazine asks.
Are we over-producing? Has distribution of
fresh fruits and vegetables reached its point
of diminishing returns? Will a national program
Of research and advertising open up new 1leIdS
of distribution and consumption? Is the popua-
tion of the United States receptive to increased
consumption of cur commodities?
These are just few of the questions we
would like to know the answers to. And, we pc
ueve there are others in the same phght. 30
many times we hear the remark: We'll, nc
wonder no one makes money, look at the over
production Just what IS this overproductcn?
Several years ago, Imperial Valley raised
more lettuce tand sold it at profit than has
been grown the past two years. Even withstand
inc the fact that open winters nave maze II
possible for other districts to snip rlght up 10 10
the beginning of the Imperial deal, there SUN
remains the fact that there is evidently not as
much lettuce consumed today there was a
few years ago Our price, we say IS based entirely
on supply and demand, therefore If we nave
Y.
demand is not there, We have an oYerprCduc-
tion.
IF the demand would remain constant. II
might be possible to regulate our supply SO that
a certain acreage would always bring profits
1t doesn't appear that this works out, as demand
for any one of our major truck crops lies entirely
in the ultimate consumers stomach and MIND
What then can We do about it? To cur
way of thinking there is left only one thing to DO
CREATE MORE DEMAND Regardless of how
funny it appears in ads-i.e Eat Prunes,' Eat
Oranges Drink Tomato Juice-and all Tor
breakfast it nevertheless has paid the organlza-
tions selling these products to firmly impress
on the public's mind at every possible opportu-
nity their desirabity. Their records show an IN
creased demand fer their products even though
the human stomach has a capacity
I'VE started with a lot of questions and
haven't made any attempt to answer any OF
them directly. However, We believe all OF them
are based on the neutrality-suspicious.. And
we have attempted to show that overproductlon
is improbable while demand is present or can be
increased.
If demand can be increased, it certainly
should be done-and it is up TO the industry to
make every effort to determine its potentialites
A scientific survey will soon show US whether
there is an overproduction or under-consump-
ton
