MEXICO MASSES FACE WANT;

AS FOODSTUFFS IMPORTED

steadily, but the cost Of living has
gone up even faster, multiplying
their increases. Various labor
unions have announced that un-
less the prices of commodities
drop to the levels existing before
December 81, 1885, they will de-
mand so per cent wage increases.
If these are not given, they say
they are ready to strike.
The situation is such that 1t
overwhelms talk Of everything
else-even of the weather and
the Spanish civil war. Not only
are the poor people complaining
some diplomats say that it is now
more expensive to live in Mexico
City than in Washington, ID. Z.
Tourists are not finding the bar
gains the yexpected.
CARDENAS NOT ATTACKED
Nobody so far has attacked
President Cardenas directly for
this situation. Many people do ac-
cuse his subordinates. Others lay
their blame on adverse weather
conditions, while others blandly
say that it will take several years
for the ne wagricultural commun-
tiles to begin poerating effici-
emily. !,
Labor leaders are also careful
to avoid antagonizing the army.
This is very significant. Two
years ago they used to insult the
army with impunity. Ever since
the Spanish civil war, however,
they have catered to the army.
The main persons attacked in
connection with the high cost of
living are the bankers, the Span
ish middlemen (most of them pro
Franco), and government Off
Gals.
BIG ESTATES GONE
Impartial economists, however,
blame the situation primarily on
the decline of agriculture in Mex
leo. Before the revolution, Mex
leo was primarily an agricultural
country, and being thinly popu-
lated nation, it naturally had big
scale farming. Nowadays, how
ever, the big estates have been
cut lupy and often a family has
only one little row Of corn as ITS
share of an agrarian community.
Thus it is that with the popula-
ton having gone up from 1922
1872 in 1880 to an estimated 49,
100000, agricultural production
has declined to such an extent
that it now ranks second to the
mining industry. This scarcity
naturally produces rise IN
prices.

JOB INSURANCE
One YEAR OLD
First Check Paid by State
of Wisconsin Year
Ago Yesterday
BY A. C. DE LORENZO

United Press Staff Correspondent
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 49,
(UP).-A year ago yesterday
Wisconsin paid a jobless engrav-
ing company employe the first
unemployment compensation check
in American history and opened a
new relationship between capital
and labor.
The first check under Wiscon-
sins pioneering job insurance
law went to Neils B. Ruud, a
Madison engraver, on August II,
1886. Since then, more than
; 100000 unemployment benefit
checks totaling S1,OSO,00O have
been paid to $4,000 Wisconsin
workers.
The right to receive benefit
payments if they should be
thrown out of a job by conditions
over which employees had no con-
troll was inherited by more than
100000 Wisconsin workers on
July /, 1886. On the same day
1900 employers accepted the re-
sponsibility of paying part of
the social cost caused by their
own irregular operations"
Employers began building in
dividual unemployment insurance
accounts under a compulsory 2
per cent payroll tax on July /,
1884. After three years of con-
tributions and one year of benefit
payments to unemployed work
ers, the net balance of the Wis
consin unemployment reserve
fund exceeded $25,000,000.
ONLY q PER CENT PAID OUT
The S1,0S0,000 that has been
paid out in benefits to workers
during the last year represented
a sum equal 70 d per cent of the
total contributions of employers
since July, 1884.
Wisconsin, pioneer in the in
come tax, workmen's compensa-
ton and unemployment insur-
ance, enacted it's job insurance
law early in 1932-more than a
year before the New Deal assum-
ed power.
Wisconsin still is the only state
in the nation now paying unem-
ployment benefits. Payments will
begin, however, in many other
states next year. Every state, in
Guiding Alaska and Hawaii, has
been provided with an unemploy-
ment compensation law as a. re-
suit of the federal social Security
program. Approximately 81, 000,-
900 workers in every state and
territory are enrolled under the
program.
Under this states job insur-
ance law weekly benefits for to-
tai unemployment are paid to

]. S.-JAPANESE
FISH PROBLEM
GROWS ACUTE
Japs Within Rights Out
side Smile Limit;
Complaints Made

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 49,
(UP)-The question of Japanese
fishing off the Alaskan coast is
becoming more acute daily be-
tween the United States and ia
pan.
What makes the situation more
difficult is the fact that, legally,
the Japanese are within their in
ternational rights and there is
nothing to prevent them from
fishing outside of the three-mile
limit. But what complexities the
situation is that all OF the Ameri-
can fisheries concerned, including
those of Washington, Oregon and
Alaska, as well as those of Can
ada. insist that the salmon caught
by the japanese are American or
Canadian fish and that they ought
to have the protection of their re-
spective countries.
All of these salmon are said to
come from the streams of Oregon,
Washington, Alaska and Canadian
waters where extensive measures
for conservation have been taken
and the fishing season limited, but
nevertheless, as soon as they go
out to sea beyond the three-milc
limit, they become the legitimate
prey for Japanese boats the year
around.
JAPANESE CATCH
NOT KNOWN
To what extent the Japanese
are catching these salmon is not
known. Toxic fisheries officials in
sist that Japan has never had
more than two 6,000-ton ships in
Alaskan waters. On other hand,
a group of commercial fishermen
who flew over the waters on be-
half of the Association of Pacific
Fisheries insisted they were able
to identify at least four Japanese
floating canneries in operation.
To make the situation worse, it
is charged by Pacific Fisheries
that the Japanese are able to Of
fer their catch of American and
Canadian salmon at 3 cents a sal
mon. while the best the American
plants can do is price of IA cents
a salmon.
According to union spokesman,
the Japanese are able to keep up
their year-around fishing-always
outside of the three-mile limit
by establishing camps on shores
where they can come and shoot
reindeer for meat as food be-
comes necessary and replenish
their supply of water.
While numerous protests have
been made by the fishing industry
both of Canada and of the United
States, no official action has been
taken, the principal obstacle al
ways being that under interna-
tional law the Japanese are still
within their rights.
LAY CLAIM TO FISH
Canadian fisheries in their pro-
tests, however, have raised two
points. They insist, first. that sal
mon born in Canadian waters are
the same as Canadian citizens and
are entitled to the protection of
the government.
Their second contention is more
broad. They insist that if the
three-mile limit is allowed to re-
main, not only the Japanese but
any other nation might be able

MEXICO. D. F., Aug. 10: 'of!'
uard times have set in through
' Millions of people are finding
Il hard to make ends meet.
Agricultural production, under
tbe new agrarian policies, has de-
clined in the face of an increase
in population. q,
Today, Mexico - the original
home of cocoa and corn (maize) f,
has to import both these commod-
tiles from Venezuela and Argen-
tina. Price Of wheat is SO high
that Importation may be neces-
sary.
In getting foodstuff abroad,
however, the consumer finds the
exchange ratio working against
him. The Mexican peso was de-
valued in 1892, from 2 to the
United States dollar to $50. This
was done to stimulate exports.
The ratio works all right for the
mining and oil companies, which
export, but it is a further hard
ship on those who have to eat.
food imported from abroad.
Everybody realizes that the sit
uation is grave. The department
of education has ordered all
teachers throughout the land to
lecture on "the peoples struggle
against the high cost of living"
CALLED "HUNGER CRISIS"
Vicente Lombardo Tolcdano,
the powerful leader of the CTM
Confederation de TrabajadOrcs

Mexican Laborers), who has been
nick-named the "John l.. Lewis of
Mexico" describes the situation
as a "nation-wide hunger crisis"
Lombardo has publicly warned
the government that unless some
thing is done soon, nobody can
hold back the masses in their de-
mands for foods 1t is necessary
that the government listen, think,
and put through an efficient pro-
gram to remedy the problem.
Never before has the spcctcr Of
hunger lowered over the nation
as it does today"
The scarcity of charcoal has
further complicated the situation.
The. average Mexican woman
cooks her tortillas on little char
coal burners. This year the rainy
season has been so intense that
shortage Of charcoal has devcl-
oped. To get this fuel, it is neces-
sary to STAY in a queue for hours.
Many humble families are eating
only two hot meals n day instead
of three as a result 49, and the
price thew pay for their charcoal
is much higher than usual.
BEYOND 1929 LEVEL
The official index price Of
basic commodities on July O.,
1887, was of 1900 with the
1929 level as 1907. The week
ending June ] it was at 120.36;
the preceding week it had been at
1885. A month before it had
been at 1l.94, and in March,
1886, it was at 94.6.
