Bruce Cation Says:
- How About Duckinq Next Depression?

For a long time the people of
this country had one question
which they were constantly asking:
when will the depression end?"
There seems to be general agree
ment now that the depression is
pretty we'll over. So the old ques-
tion has been dropped, to be re-
paced by an equally anxious one:
when will the next depression be-
gin?"
There seems to be no particular
confidence anywhere that we have
mastered the problem of prevent
ing depressions. We got out of the
last one. by hook or crook, and we
are now enjoying fair measure
Of prosperity. But he would be a
rash man who predicted this new
found prosperity will continue in
definitely. So while we have good
thing now. we want to know how
long We are going to keep on having
it.
Figures on industrial production
are ordinarily dull reading. But
Elmer C. Bratt of Lehigh Univer-
sity has presented some, in the cur
rent issue of The Annauilst, which
indicate that the prosperity curve
is going to keep on rising for some
time yet-possibly for as long as
four years.

What If U. S. Resented
Mexican Policy?

The interest most of us feel in the
Mexico for MexicanS" policy militAntiy
favored by GROIN, powerful Mexican
labor union organization, is strictly i'm
personal, but it is bound to be influenced
by our sympathy with our fellow Ameri-
cans who stand to lose years of work
if the policy is carried through. For that
reason it may be that our objections to
the program as put forward by GROIN
are biased ones. Nevertheless, we can
not help wondering what would happen
if the United States adopted the same
policy for this country.
GROIN, claiming the support of terri
torial officials, proposed to exclude all
foreigners from business in Baja Cali
fornia, whether they be American, Japa-
nese, Chinese or of any other race but
Mexican. Those who are in business
there now are given 60 days in which to
liquidate At the end of that time, GROIN
proposes to appropriate their property,
by force if necessary. This means that
the property would be confiscated by
the Mexican government and divided up
among Mexican citizens on some basis
not yet divulged.
The fact that it would be impossible
within 60 days to liquidate such large
holdings as those of the Colorado River
Land company is too apparent 10 neeu
more than passing mention. An attempt
to liquidate would mean almost total
loss to such company.
Mexico, if it adopts the program pro-
posed by GROIN, is treading on danger
Gus ground. How dangerous may be seen
from contemplation of the situation
should the United States suddenly order
all Mexicans in business in the United
States to liquidate their holdings within
60 days, or face seizure of their proper
ty at the end of that time. Not only
would irreparable injury be done to
the Mexican business men in this country,
but thousands of them would have no
alternative but to return to Mexico.
There is little likelihood, of course,
that the United States would or could
issue such an order, but it does seem
that there should be the same spirit OF
fair dealing in international affairs that
there is in personal affairs. 1t is hardly
fair for Mexicans in this country to
continue receiving every benefit they
have received in the past, and for our
citizens in Mexico to be excluded and
faced with loss of the property it may
have taken them years to acquire.

Rratt. follows a period in which
industrial production gets out OF
adjustment. In good times, produc-
tion of durable goCds-buildingt,
factory equipment, railroad engines
and so on-tends to exceed the pro-
duction of consumer goods. Pre-
sently there is an over-Supply OF
durable goods as compared with
the supply of consumer goods.
The country's need for durable
goods'is met, workers making them
are released, their release causes the
demand for consumer goods to fall
and down We go in the unpleasant
spiral of a depression
Right now. continues Mr.. Bratt,
no such situation is in sight. The
country still needs great many
more things in the durable goods
bracket The railroads have only
begun to make up for the long per-
iod in which they bought little
equipment. The construction in
dustry has hardly got started. al
though the need for new buildings
is considerable.
And so on and so on-with the
result, according to Mr.. Bratt, that
we may look forward to several
years of rising prosperity before
production of the two kinds of goods
GETS out of balance and sends us
downhill again.

EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS:
We are glad to see the noble stand you nave
taken for the preservation OF our wild lie IN
the valley You truly said the doves are the
farmers friends, and I want to add that tney
are the friend of all mankind, for their food Is
principally weed seed and insects. They are
not destroyers of our grain, as some OF these
so-called sportsmen would have you believe
They never pick up grain except that Wnlcn
has already fallen to the ground and Is lost
to the farmer.
For 10 years I have posted my 24O acres
three miles east of Imperial in seemingly
hopeless fight to protect the doves. The slaugh-
ter still goes on, principally by hunters from
t!7e coast cities who claim to be sportsmen.
Some of them are often too lazy to walk Ihey
ride on the front fender and shoot going ana
coming-even to the destruction of tame pigeons
right in my front yard, which witnessed.
One fellow from Long Beach whom l found
in the middle of my ranch last week told me
he was Just shooting doves to get exercise Tor
his feet Poor mamie might try JOB OF
honest work.
The dove is practically the only bird that
lives in the valley the year round. just con-
tinue to kill the birds. and soon the insects
will kill not only our crops (as evidenced by
our cotton crop and last years ALFALFA but the
human family as well.
