Foreign News.
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-speculative
commodities showed wide and erratic
price swings as traders excitedly bought
or sold on the rapid shifting of events
in Europe.
News Of the calling of the four
power conference at Munich tomorrow
to labor further In the cause OF peace
brought violent rebound in indus
trial commodities like rubber and
cotton, which had opened sharply
lower on earlier gloomy foreign news.
On the other hand, wheat prices at
Chicago, responsive as usual to dark
ening Of war clouds, SCARED up nearly
2 cents bushel at the start only to
tumble about 3 cents from its best
when the news of the new peace par
ley was flashed. This left the market
around ~ to 2 cents net lower.
After quick attempts at adjustment
to the new promise of peace, leading
staples stood something like this
around midday:
Rubber, down nearly 2. of a cent
a pound at the opening, was around
"a a cent higher, the market estab-
fishing the seldom seen range of more
than one cent q pound in a single
session.
Cotton, off about so cents a bale at
the opening, quickly recovered for
equal gains.
These staples, along with hides and
some others were, of course, oppressed
by the early pessimism since traders
figured war would seriously hamper
their movement in international trade.
Wheat, as q major sinew of war, re-
acted to the news according to the
pattern it has shown all through the
period OF crisis.

by groups Of organized reliefers,
would tend to give you the opinion
that all WPA reliefers were Com
munistS Nothing could be
further from the truth if I am to
judge from a year on three differ
ent projects, 2 in Agriculture and
in Interior. During that year
I have associated with at least
400 WPA workers and I have yet
to meet one whom could class as
even slightly CommuniStic. AS a
matter of fact I have met more
Communistic tendencies in my
past associations with regular
Civil Service workers than I have
IN the WPA.

By A "RELIEFER"

DURING a year with WPA I
~ have found that while most
of us "relieterS" are on these jobs
because of the economic condition
of the country, many are here for
reasons of more personal ma
ture. Thus we find the chap
who reached the top of his par
ticular line fairly early in life and
then began, for one reason or an
other, to hit the bottle. With
the depression he naturally was
one of the first to become "Sur-
plusage" and now We find him on
WPA. Occasionally you find the
chap who because of some un-
happy event (perhaps the loss OF
a loved one-or an ideal suddenly
lost his urge to accomplish and so
is on WPA. . "A much too large
percentage of reliefers, however,
are men who served their country
during the war and suffered the
vocational disability which thou
sands have learned to know and
thus have been in the rear OF the
parade since that time. Some
day the Government will correct
the cause of TIE last group, but
those in the other two will con-
tinue until the end. in WPA or
its successor, unless some miracle
brings back their former ambi-
ton, will-power and desire to DO!
Here's a Suggestion
As long as this column is to be
anonymous I feel free to make
one suggestion to my fellow re-
lieferS. That is that they organ
tze a union. unaffiliated to any
other group and with the ConSti-
tuition providing that each meet
ing shall start with a salute to the
flag and end with the singing OF
"The Star Spangled Banner"
Then, with the country sold on
the idea that we are not men Of
COMMUNISTIC tendencies but
Just AMERICANS trying to get
along, we will be better able to sell
public opinion on the worth OF the
WPA experiment and its contin-
uence.
Are We Radical?

belief that was so general before
the last election that all relieferS
would vote for the New Deal in
order to keep their Jobs AS a
matter of 1act I doubt whether
New Dealers receive as large a
ger capita vote from the reliefers
as they do flom the average group
oi voters In The first place,
most reliefers don't bother to
vote, as they have too many other
things to thing of and, in the
case of Washington, just can't
afforG the time off or the fare
nome Also, many of those
on relief lost their good jobs after
Roosevelt was elected and blame
him for their present predica-
ment In my own office we
have two women who had regular
Government jobs in 1882, but lost
them in 1888 All day long
