SENDING RELIEF ROLL ALIENS
TO THEIR HONELANDS

California will go long way toward
ironing out its relief bankruptcy crisis
if the State Relief Commission only does
not back down from its policy of giving
needy aliens the alternative of accept
ing passage back TO their native coun-
tries, or getting off the relief rolls.
The policy might even. if carried to
conclusion, make Federal Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins more of a
prophet than an insufferable optimist
when he said that dust bowl immigrants
into California are potential settlers"
OF high class. If the aliens now on re-
lief are encouraged to return home. and
discouraged from living off of American
taxpayers, perhaps there will be room in
CALIFORNIA; economic scheme of things
for those other American citizens who.
through no fault of their own, were
chased away FROM stheir middle western
homes by natural calamity.
1t is hard to imagine any justification
for the habit heretofore formed of feed
ing some 10000 aliens in California from
the public dinner table. Of course, there
is always the humanitarian cry that we
must feed the poor, helpless, INDECENT
beggars, or see them starve before our
eyes. But why, in the name of all that's
holy, can't we send them home and let
their own governments feed them?
There's nothing unhuman about that,
unless it's not human to deprive man
of a living for which he doesn't work.
If as one of the opponents of the
new state relief policy said, this re-
dictionary attitude is a disgrace to the
nation" then there are a lot of nations
living in disgrace.
We have yet to hear of any other ma
tion that plays the international human
itarian like we do, handing out gracious
checks to the indigents of all nations.
Why should we be the goat?
The United States has progressed be-
yond the point where it needs immigra-
ton to build up its national strength.
Today's startling relief totals should
prove that, if anything, there are too
many people in this country.
A relief policy that does not discrimi-
nate between citizens and aliens is a
''Welcome" mat on Americas doorstep
for the worst class of aliens-thOse who
do not want to work, do not want to be-
come useful citizens, and do not want to
become active members of any communi-
ty except one which provides free liv-
ing.
If corrective measures are harsh, con-
slider that the situation to be corrected
is a harsh one, too.

INTERNATIONA PALAVERING
THAT FOOLS NOBODY

Japan, invading North China, says
she is doing so because the Chinese will
not accept blame for trouble there. The
trouble is in China, caused by Japan, and
yet Japan wants China to claim respon-
sibility. In international diplomatic cir
cles the weird status is accepted without
even a smile, conferences are held and
settlement is asked-a settlement which
would not be a settlement, but either
surrender or victory for China.
To the average man, all this interna-
tional pickering seems the ultimate of
foolishness-and it is. Nobody, not even
the diplomats Of the two nations in
volved, are fooled by it. Everybody knows
what is going on.
1t seems to us there would be better
chance for peace in the world if ma
tions, as well as individuals, conducted
negotiations in plain words.

Recently completed surveys dis
closed the number of civil officers
and employees of the federal gov

900. This figure does not include
the army and navy or employees OF
the legislative and judicial branch
es of the government, who number
some 100000 Neither does it in
clude the $4,000 youths in c. G. c.
camps or the more than 2,200,O00
directly paid by the government in the
work relief program. In the DIS
trict of Columbia alone are more
than l16,375 govrnment employees.
The new postwar high OF $685.
259 was reached April 80. This was
the month in which President
Roosevelt called upon bis depart
mental officers to curtail expendi-
lures. 1t is interesting to note the
Official reaction to the presidents
suggestion. During April there were
increases in employment IN the
post office department Of l184 per-
sons; in the works progress ad-
ministration of 11l3; and in the
treasury department, 427, princl-
pally in the bureau of internal re-
venue. Employment in the depart
ment of agriculture, for what was
described as seasonal purposes, in
creased by 933. The war depart
ment gained 1876; the department
of the interior, 1415, etc.
The net gain in the number OF
civil employees in federal govern
ment service since 1888 is approxi-
mately 331, 300.
In the light of this constantly in
creasing bureau personnel one al
most inclines to question the sim
