JAPANESE TRADE
MISSION GLOOMY
Leader of Group Sees Little
Chance of Reciprocal
Pact.
By the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 16.-Japan's
goodwill economic mission. at the end
OF a fve-week tour of America, was
dubious of it's achievements but hope
full that 1889 will end forever American
quota restrictions on japanese textiles.
Silver-haired Chokyuro Kadono,
railroad man and industrialist chief
of the 10man mission, said in an in
terview last night that he was appre-
hensive whether the tour was a sue
cess or a failure.
I'VE saw many of your biggest men,
but they were not so big that they were
unwilling to let in our little competi-
ton" he said.
Sees Agreement Chances Slim.
Kadono predicted a general lower
ing of Japanese tariffs on American
goods next year, but was gloomy over
prospects for reciprocal trade agree
ment between the two nations.
The trouble is we have no single
Item big enough to Offset your big eX-
ports, such as locomotives or automo-
biles, except textiles" he said. But if
We even mention textiles, there is row
on this side Of the water. Yet it is the
only important product we can offer
for reciprocal tariff reductions"
To Ask Lower Tariffs.
Two specific recommendations the
mission will make on its return to
Japan are the lowering of trade bar
riers and a reduction of trans-Paciflc
cable rates.
He predicted that Japan's unfavora-
bic trade balance with America will
go up to about 4Oo,oOo,oOO yen (s1l4,-
100000 this year. as compared with
2OO,O0o,Ooo to 3O0,OOo,ooO yen in past
years"
Yet he was certain Japan's next
tariff revision will bring reductions
even on the 100 per cent duty on Cali
fornia oranges.

They Can't Fight
The Farmers

Dave Beck and his teamsters' union
are running directly into trouble unless
they heed the warning sounded at Hynes
this week by a delegation of southern
California farmers by Imperial county
men. 1t is trouble Of a kind the union
has never yet faced. 1t is trouble the
union will not be able to overcome.
Dave Beck may fight the manufactur-
ers, he may fight the ship line owners
and the warehouse proprietors, he may
win over the commercialiZed milk dis
tributors. But he cannot fight the farm
ers and win. He is holding deuces to an
ace-high straight and all the money the
Committee for Industrial Organization
can throw into the pot will not make his
hand any better
When the farmers ship their hay and
unload it, not all the adult street urchins
in the teamSterS' union can stop them.
Anyone who has ever seen the temper
of a group of farmers, once aroused to
action could advise the teamsterS that
they had better not try. Anyone who has
ever seen farmer fight for the things
that he considers TO be his can tell the
teamsters that SNOWFALL will melt on
top of Mt Everest in the dead of winter
before the farmer will give up the right
TO run his own business and to haul his
own produce.
There is basic difference between
the farmers and the teamsters.
The teamsters are organized and want
power over every bit of freight that
moves on the streets or highways so they
can force others to join their organiza-
ton. The farmers are organized be-
cause they had TO organize to protect
their farms, their homes and their liv-
ings You might compare the one to a
mercenary army of hired soldiers; the
other to an army of well trained patriots.
One is Jared into action by the inflam-
lnatory oratory of paid organizers, the
other springs into being like spontan-
eous burst of justified anger.
The wisest thing the teamsters can
do is to let the farmers alone.

Other Editors Say
SANTA CLAUS IN COURT
(San Pedro Ncws-Pilot)

A battle over trade names finally has landed
Santa Claus in court and the little Indiana
town which bears the name of the Yuletde saint
is worried. Not since 1881, when Postmaster
General Brown tried to change the name of
the town, have its sixty-seven inhabitants been
so wrought up.
1t all started when a slick promoter from
Chicago saw, or thought lie saw, big possibilities
in the towns name and went down to buy or
lease all the loose land around the village. He
had visions of candy castles, toy factories and
other enterprises, all of which he believed would
profit by the name
Along came another promoter then, who pro-
fessed alarm over the manner in which the
town was being exploited and started counter
drive by buying up lands some of which were
under lease to his rival. He formed company
known as Santa Claus. Inc, and opened for
business.
The thing finally landed in court where
Judge granted an injunction to the first pro-
moter and restrained them both from using the
name Santa Claus for incorporation purposes.
The state corporation counsel joined the scrap
ard ruled that the use of the name Santa Claus
usurps the common property Of all mankind"
The case has been appealed of course, and
the inhabitants hoping that whatever deci-
sion finally is handed down will not affect the
flourishng postal and package forwarding bus
ness that has been built up, all for the purpose
of obtaining the towns cancellation on stamps
during the holidays.

News Behind the News
- Vermont in Politics

WASHINGTON.-Ev the oldest inhabtant
doesn't seem to remember when Vermont was
particularly influential in national politics. but
now that she stands as OF the TWO states
which voted against Roosevelt last year, her
sons are demanding voice in affairs OF the Re
publican party.
Gov George D. Aiken of the Green Mountain
state, who obviously seeks share IN party lead
erShip. has lust issued a blast telling what he
thinks the COP ought TO do
And you may or may not have noticed that
Harold w Mason a Vermont business man, quite
recently became secretary of the Republican
National Committee through appointment py
Chairman John D. NJ Hamilton
We have become a party of old men, pro-
tests Aiken and this criticism gained some point
with ensuing reports that former Gov. Frank
O. Lowden of Illinois almost surely would be
chairman OF the committee OF one hundred
being chosen TO work out a party program.
Lowden is 76, and although no proposed
him lust because of his advanced age, II was
recognized that he too old to harbor presi-
Dental ambitions which might be promoted by
his selection
Few have expected any strong liberal influ
ence to emerge from among Vermont Repubh-
cans but Aiken and Mason are distinctly less
conservative than those elements which continue
20 control party machinery, and Aiken proposes
to accept III general the social aims which the
oposng party has had the wisdom to adopt "
Mason. who operates a large wholesale shoe
business in Bratteboro along lines which appear
to be unusually enlightened, has lively III
terest in health insurance. Seven years ago
he underwrote a home town scheme by which
about 5000 folks pay $40 year ts5 for kids
and in return get $500 worth of hospital service
and surgeons fees If and when they need 1t.
He thinks the Republican party ought TO study
the possibilities of this sort of thing.
During the depression The new national COM
mittee secretary kept all his employees on the
payroll at regular wages by dipping heavily into
a large accumulated surplus. The workers had
a right TO a large part Of that surplus, he ex-
plains because they had created it.
Mason adopted the five-day 40-hour week
six months before NRA came along. His plant
is not unonized-because. he says, his people
aren't interested-but he thinks that if and
when the REPUBLICAN, party adopts labor policy
its leaders ought to sit down with William Green
and John l.. Lewis and find out how near they
can come TO a meeting of minds

other corporations, would like to see industries

said signs put up by wags on highway crossing
the Vermont line after the 1886 election.
But Mason says Vernonts vote for Landon
has been great tnlng for the state, attracting
not only tourists but many well-to-do persons
who have moved in to build summer homes
or rent old farnhouses.

Another Way
To Look at Taxes

MANY Americans will be startled by
the declaration of A. w Robertson,
chairman of the board of Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing company,
that increased taxes paid by the compa-
ny since 1885 would be sufficient to pay
wages of $500 unemployed men. Not
the total taxes paid by the company,
mind you, but INCREASED taxes.
The company's taxes have increased
$1l,000,000 since 1885.
Undoubtedly much of that tax money
went for unemployment relief. For the
sake of argument, let US say that it all
went for relief. In that case, there would
have been heavy deductions for admins
trative expense and other items not
directly giving any man a needed job.
The total which actually was paid to
unemployed persons would have been
considerably less than $11 100000.
Suppose, on the other hand, that the
company had not been required to pay
that sum in additional taxes. Suppose
that it had all gone to create employ
ment. Deductions for administration
would have been considerably less, the
total finding its way into the working
mans pocket considerably more.
Of course the other argument is that
the company would not have used all of
the money TO create new employment.
Some of it would have been profit, some
would go TO stockholders, some to pur-
chase machinery and equipment. In the
end, however, it would have remained
in circulation without building up tax
heavy governmental structure.
AT least the example demonstrates
that taxes are important 10 everyone
even to the unemployed.
