WHEN THE SHOES
ON THE OTHER FOOT

Loudest howl of the season comes
out of the CI0 camp where organizers
are still trying To recover from the West
wood purge. So loud is the howl it has
reached Governor Merriam, the National
Labor Relations Board, the United States
Department of Justice, Secretary of La
Dor Perkins and practically every news
paper reader in the nation.
If residents of the town of WesWood
were OuSted from their homes by men,
bers of an Independent union and by Of
ficials controlled by the lumber company
which operates the plant there then
there is adequate reason for the ClO COM
plants. If, on the other hand, those who
were chased out of Westwood were out
side organizers sent to Westwood by the
CIO to cause a strike, then the protests
are based on false grounds.
Which ever is the case, the fact re-
mains that the CIO would not have filed
any protest of its officials believed the
old adage that turn about is fair play.
From a disinterested standpoint, 1t
appears that all the difference in the
world eXists-for the CIO at least-in
who is affected by the purge For it is
an undisputed fact that the ClO has,
time and again, purged factories and
other industrial plants of persons un-
friendly to the CIO. Men have been
thrown out of jobs because they were not
members of ClO unions. Their families
have been forced to go hungry simply
because the wage Garner would not pay
triubte to the union.
We fail to see the difference between
one hungry man and another in this par
ticular. We cannot see why ClO man
who has been thrown out of job because
he is unsympathetic with the majority
of workers in a factory is any different
from the non-union man who has been
thrown out of work because he is not
sympathetic towards the CIO. The fam
ily of one can suffer just as much as the
other.
The CIO unions have, we believe,
brought upon themselves such retribu-
ton as was meted out in Westwood. They
have, in hundreds of towns, snatched
away the jobs and put poverty into the
homes of laborers they did not like.
Yet, when the shoe is on the other
foot. they cry for "justice.''
When the measuring stick Of ClO un-
ionism is applied to justice, we might as
we'll remove the word from the diction-
airy.

1T JUST
DOES NOT WORK
(Medford Mail-Tribune)

(Medford Mail-Irlbune)
j. W. kernS, describing to southern
Oregon service club the other dav condi-
tions he observed ON recent trip in Mex
leo, told of a large fruit plantation taken
from Its American owners by the MeXi-
can oVernment.
1t represented an investment of two
and half million dollars when it was
taken over by the Mexican government
appropriated is the polite term used by
governments when they do such things
it was providing employment at good
wages for many hundreds of Mexicans.
Now it is falling into ruin and in two
years more it will have gone back to the
jungle.
The former employees have lost their
jobs and are now barely existing A pros
porous town that had grown up out of
the operation is no longer prosperous.
The inhabitants speak of time when
the plantation was operating as back in
the good old days
Agricultural production has fallen so
low that Mr.. Kerns and his party could
mt buy half-case of eggs in the whole
community.
Everyone was living from hand to
mouth.
Properties in the same neghborhood
belonging to prosperous MeXicans had
been ''eXpropriated" at the same time.
They too were falling into ruin and their
former employees We're out of work.
Taking from those who have and CIV
ingt those who have not has pleasant
sound, at first, to the have-nots. 1t has
the appearance of something for nothing
and the prospect of getting something for
nothing pleases all of us.
But in the long run the have-nots find
that they suffer along with the haves by
the process of cOnfiscation.
The MeXicans in the neighborhood of
this formerly prosperous plantation are
finding it out now and are referring to
the time when they had jobs as "those
good days"
For five years, our own government
has been taking from those who have to
give to those who have not. The net re-
suit is millions of unemployed. These
unfortunate millions, who have to subsist
on the bare pittance Of relief, are the real
sufferers.
1t works that way the world over
Maybe it shouldn't, but it does.

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
- The State Personality is the FamiIys

We are in the midst of a period
in which the state is being glori-
fled. As the source of all power
and all glory, national govern
ments are setting forth their
claims and in many cases enfor-
cling them as the greatest moving
force in the lives Of millions of
people.
Yet there are othcf forces, and
it remained TO DR.. Stanley p.
Davies, president of the Family
Welfare Association of America,
to remind us of one that is even
more fundamental than The state.
From time to time throughout
the course of history says DR..
Davies, "the state has attempted
to mold the family to its own
ends, but in the last analysis the
family has prevailed The family
molds the people, and in the long
run the people mold the state"
That is getting back to funda-
mentals, for no one has yet devised
a state or maner of life which
did not depend in large measure
on a stable and vital family life.
The experience of Russia soon
after the revolution of 1917
taught them this.
1t was felt that the family had

HAND TO MOUTH
IN AMERICA

The growing inclination of Americans
toward a hand-to-mouth existence is best
demonstrated in the numerous old age
pension plans appearing in ever greater
numbers on the initiative ballots. Along
side most of them, the Townsend plan
is the work of an ultra-conservative.
Easy relief and governmental exam
pie of this hand-to-mouth living have
tended to instill in the people an idea
that only the foolish lay away a fund
against advancing old age and decreasing
earning power 1t is pathetically out of
date in some circles these days to save
money for a rainy day. And that very
trend, above all else, will bring the rainy
day quicker than anything else could.
If there is any aspect of American life
in which a return to the old ideals are
desirable, it is in this business of old age
security. Americans must realize, soon
er or later, that nobody can make them
secure but themselves.

NOTICE OF MEETING OF
CREDITORS

No. 1927 - In Bankruptcy
In the District Court of the United
States, Southern District of
California, Suthern
Division
In the Matter of
THOMAS NUGENT CROFTON,
Bankrupt.
Notice is hereby given that on
the End day of July, 1898, Thomas
Nugent Crofton, was duly adjudi-
Gated bankrupt and that the first
meeting of his creditors will be
held at the office of the under
signed Referee, 207-210 Rehkopf
Bldg, Ell Centro, California, on the
29th day of July, 1888 at 900 AM,
at which time the said creditors
may attend, prove their claims,
appoint a Trustee, examine the
bankrupt, consider a petition OF
the Trustee to sell the property OF
said bankrupt, and transact such
other business as may properly
come before said meeting.

matte marriage and divorce. state
care of children and the like were
the enthusiasms of that era.
But gradually conditions chang
ed, and family life in Russia is
now not much different from IA
mily life anywhere. The basic in
stitution of the family proved
itself stronger than the state itself.
So, too, with the Jewish people.
whose devotion to the family
group is proverbial. Without any
state at all, the life in family and
synagogue and temple has proved
a more constant unifying force
than a score of states which have
tried to supplant them,
There is a definite link, DR..
Davies believes, between family
life and democracy, for the aim
of each is the same: the liberation
and fullest development of the in
diviual.
The social personality is best
built within the family itself, that
little democracy" whtre mutual
Identification, sharing, recognition
both of self interest and grup IN
tereSt grow strong. Principles
learned here overflow later into
the larger democracy of state and
society, DR. Davies believes.
Each is necessary to, and each
stimulates, the other. Family life
developes best under democf ,
conditions, and democrtcy flowers
fullest when family life is rock
anchoring people against winds of
discomfort and slippery slogans.

BABY TALK
(Tulare Advance-Register)

(Tulare AdVance-Register)
Baby talk may be nice coming from
the lips of a starry-eyed blonde" accord
ing to Dr. William H. Fitzpatrick, profess
sor emeritus of Columbia University,
"but it is something which should be dis
couraged in a child" For a three-year-
old to talk like a mature, flirtatious,
round-eyed maid of conquest is both silly
and demoralizing A three-year-old
should have more sense,
We admit being a little tangled up at
this point But if 18-year-olds and 38-
year-old are to go on talking like three
year-old, then we immagine the three
year-olds must change pace and start
talking like the 18-year-olds used to talk
before they talked like the three-year-
olds. It's all quite confusing. But so
is baby talk.

they are better"
I'VE were too hard up to pay
for pleasures, SO my husband and
I began doing with our children
the things that don't cost money.
We took walks in the woods, We
visited exhibits and museums. We
read stories with the children. My
husband built a boat with the help
of our two little boys-and they've
had the grandest time doing it.
This" she said, was truly the
biggest thing of all For the
pleasures we have had together
far outweigh any pleasures we
might have paid for And the
children bring their plans to US
now. We've got to hold on those
children that we never would have
had if the depression hadn't come
along. Oh, yes we've both thank
full for the depression. It has done
so much for US

News Behind
the News
". Y. Politics
The Labor Party
By RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON The political
situation in New York, vitally i'm
portant to Mr. Roosevelt's prestige
and his hope of controlling the
1910 Democratic convention, be-
comes more muddled every five
minutes. Furious maneuverings of
the American Labor party in its
efforts to trade with Democratic
organization forces contribute to
the blur.
Roosevelt doesn't want Gov. Her
bert Lehman to come to the Senate
to replace the late Senator Cope
land. White House intimate even
whimper the charge that Lehman,
a banker, hopes to lead a congress
sional effort to Whittle down New
Deal financial legislation.
The Roosevelt Lehman split dates
back to the governors attack on
the Supreme Court plan, but Roose-
velt was especially annoyed by ef-
forts at Albany to publicize Leh-
mans elimination of $l00000,00O
state deficit left behind by Roose-
velt.
Although Roosevelt would be glad
to see the Lehman candidacy scut-
led, most political experts thlnK
the Democratic state convention
is sure to nominate the governor.
DR. Kemper Simpson, economic
advisor to the securities and eX-
change commission during the pre-
Douglas period, has written a book
in which ne credits two former
bosses, Chairman Joe Kennedy and
Chairman Jim Lands, with contrl-
buting to the 1885 boom which
led up the 1878 depression.
Asserting that the SEC failed
the investor in bonds under Ken
nedy and the investor in stocks I'M
der Lands, Simpson reports that
the commission unfortunately soon
came under the domination OF mar
ket operators, legalists and techni-
clans, many of whom have used,
or hoped to use, the prestige they
have acquired FOR their personal
advancement elsewhere
Joe connived when some of the
great corporations began reporting
corporate surpluses created out of
the inkwells of their paid account
ants and appraisers" Simpson
writes in "The Margin Trader"
big corporations with bond issues
they had failed to amortize came
to Washington to get cheap money
with which to refund their debts.
And investors were traded out of
their bonds with the cold comfort
of part truths and part income.
"Is there any wonder that the in
vesting public became stockminded?
=. When Jim was warned by some
of us in 1885 that the commission
should use its power to stop the
flood of spectators who were ton
ing up the market for the spree
that was to follow, Jim said no
thing, did nothing and just looked
wise. When Jim was warned again
in 1886 that the commission should
use its powers, as well as its in
fluence with the reserve authori-
ties, to check professional and mar
gin speculation, Jim again said no
thing and did nothing, and con-
tinued to look wise. He knew where
he was going and how to get there.
And like Cal Coolidge, he ran away
at just the right time"
