exclusive rights of the fruit of
work are unjust"
The constitution dealing with
this subject states:
Property, capital and labor
perform a social function under
the regime of economic cooper
alton and solidarity. The state
should regulate and coordinate
economy so as to obtain the low
est possible cost prices and the
maximum salaries consistent with
just remuneration of the other
factors of production"
About wages, the encycllcal
said:
at is against social Justice to
reduce or increase salaries excess
sively, having solely in view the
convenience of the parties con-
cerned and disregarding the COM
mon good, and the same justice
demands regulation of salaries in
such manner that the largest
possible number of workers may
find work and earn living
wage"
LIVING WAGE GUARANTEED
The Portuguese worker is as
sured that "the salary or wage
has in principle a minimum limit
corresponding to the living neces-
sity. 1t is the duty of employers
to cooperate with the state as
well as with the cooperative bod
les toward the economic better
ment of the workers"
On property rights, the Pope
wrote:
"The right of property and
freedom of initiative, us well as
of orderly competition, is to be
respected"
The Portuguese constitution
states:
"The state recognizes the right
of property and the respective
power of use and disposal during
lifetime and by death. The state
recognizes in private initiative
the most fruitful instrument of
progress and of the nations econ
omy, but will prevent the unbri-
died competition of activities con-
trary to the just objects of So
ciety."
In the foreign field. the Pope
said:
at is much to be desired that
the various nations, rs they de-
pend upon one another and thus
complete themselves economical.

FORD WILL FIGHT
TAX ON PROFITS
Declares "Ramshack|e Leg

4y the Associated Press.
DETROIT, May Henry Ford, who
steadfastly opposed the N. r. A. to
the day it was declared unconstitu-
tional, said today he also would
oppose the Federal tax on undis-
tributed profits.
He described it, in an interview,
as "ranshackle legislation" enacted
by politicians who are parrots for
the international financiers"
The Ford Motor Co., he declared,
Is the target"
The real purpose is to tax the
independents, large and small, out of
existence" he said. The flnanciers
want to drive every independent busi-
ness man to borrow money, to make
American business pay continual
tribute to the money lenders. They
want to send the companies they can't
control to Wall Street. And 1t is only
the companies they don't control who
are objecting. The others are all in
one pocket"
Sees Changed Attitude.
He spoke approvingly Of changed
attitude" he noted in Congress toward
that and similar matters.
Congress did not concoct this
ramshackle legislation, although it
passed the BILL he said. Nov it is
trying to see how it can do better.
For that reason, you hear more good
things said about Congress today than
for six years past. OF course, the
members have heard from home, but
that only means that Congress and
the people are coming to the same
conclusions.
mo one with the interests OF the
country at heart would plan such q
taxing program. It must have had
. target. Naturally, we are the target.
eff We knew where the money is
going, If we knew it was doing any,
thing to lift the national level, that
would be different. But the spots
where things are not getting any
better are the spots where they say
the money is going. It has kept the
people at the same low level where
the depression found them. The only
lifting done in this country is done
by industry.
Sees Failure in Attempt.
1T the Government took every cent
OF Ford profits and used the money
to raise the standards of the people,
I'd take my hat off to them. That
IS what we have been trying to do
Tor 80 years. They are not doing It,"
do you believe the various Gov-
ernr1ent agencies succeeded in 'prim-
ing the pump for industry?" he was
asked.
Government money provides no
purchasing power and no market for
industry" Ford replied. And it
hasn't provided employment, either,
else why do We hear of millions Of
men still unemployed?
Our Government does not under
stand the primary necessity, which is
production. We have not enough of
anything, and all the politicians can
think OF is to make it harder for pro-
ducers to produce.
The answer to the unemployment
problem is to produce more goods and
that is what we are trying to do"
question about wage increases

statement that there will be higher

SUPERSTITION
BOOSTS JAPAN
PHONE PRICE

TOKYO, QUP)-Popular superSti-
fact that a telephone connection
is a business asset, combine to keep
the price of telephones at a high
and steady level in Japan.
In Japan the government owns
the telephone system. If office or
home is to have telephone, ap-
plication is made to the communi-
cations ministry. Eventually, per-
haps after a period of years an
instrument is installed. The ap-
plicant becomes the owner of the
instrument and of the right to
talk over the line. He can sell 1t
if he desires.
The telephone with its right OF
access TO all the SWitchboardS and
other telephones in the country,
becomes an important commodity.
1t can be sold at any price the
owner can obtain. All calls must
be paid for at the rate of 3 sen
each, a little less than one cent,
American money.
Eventually many of these tele-
phones are sold outright to brok-
ers who in turn rent them or sell
them at a profit. The quick sale
is almost always TO the broker.
The same is true if telephone is
wanted in q hurry. The buyer
goes To the broker.
The number "a is not wanted
by any japanese. The word for
four "Shi" sounds exactly like the
word for death"
However, if pronouncing the en-
tire telephone number a happy
thought is expressed, the number
-four" loses its Objectionable fea-
ture.
Because of aversion to the word
"shi' the japanese are likely to
use the word lyon" or "yo" as a
substitute in ordinary conversa-
ton.
Consequently whe the broker Of
fers a telephone the prospective
buyer will take the number to a
specialist in numerology. The num-
ber 4919 ordinarily would not be
a desirable number.
Here the expert advise that in
calling, the sound "yo" be substi-
tuted for "shi'.
The result was that the call be-
came "yo-ku-i-ku" and has the
same meaning as the japanese
phrase Everything goes we'll"
The figure 80" when pronounced
has the same meaning as the word
for Sadness" The Central Post
Office has no box of that number.

Official COnfers
On Adjustment
OF Farm Debts


r. 3. Moore. supervisor for the
state farm debt adjustment COM
mission, met Monday morning with
the Imperial county farm debt ad-
juStment committee to discuss local
problems and the situation in the
state.
-Four times as many notices of de
fault have been filed in the state
during the past two months as were
filed in January and February, said
Moore, who attributed the increase
in part to the rise in land values.
During The last month county
committees throughout the state
have settled 35 cases with a seal
ing down in debts Of some $4,000
and with a payment of delinquent
taxes totalling $4,000
The recent decision of the Su-
preme court, said Moore, relative to
sub section S FraZier-Lemke. will
probably increase the number of
cases to be brought before county
committees.
The committees are composed of
local men who volunteer their time
and who attempt to work out an
adjustment between the farmer and
his creditors. w. A. McFadden is
chairman of the local committee.
