NeighbOr Cardenas

president LAZARO CARDENAS of Mexico on Mon
i day told his side of the Mexican grab of American
British and Dutch oil properties in interview with
Anita Brenner released yesterday by the North Amer
lean Newspaper Alliance.
Mr. Cardenas side of the story u.s. briefly that the
foreigners brought it themselves by playing politics
that Cardenas is bringing in oil experts from Germany
Austria and Spain to direct operation of the appropriated
properties that he may have to sell oil to Japan expects
to sell to Germany and is greved because the United
States has not yet consented to help him sell oil taken
from United States nationals that the appropriation
brought on an economic crisis in Mexico but Mexico will
pull through that the only methods of payment he
can consider are C) payment in oil from the expro-
priated properties, ~ payment in Mexican bonds
which editors note) are next to good.
That is Cardenas' story. AS get it from other
(incuding American oil company sources for
which fact don't apoogze) the Mexican situation is
~ good deal than that.

In short this side of the story indicates that Door old

Claims Court Flayed

To my great surprise I have
learned that the Small Claims
Court is the acme of unfairness.
I have learned if a poor man
goes there looking for justice
(who hasn't money to hire q
lawyer) he hasn't a chance.
The judge has no mercy.
Criticize the Small Claims
Court, and flay it for being un-
fair to the poor man.
Why must the poor man be
kicked when he is down by those
who are supposed to deal JUS
tice? If the poor man can't get
q fair deal, then close the
court up.
In times like this, with people
out of work, why insist that he
pay an overcharged unfair debt,
when one hasn't got it?

 Up to Housewives
 Full publicity support will be placed behind the event, to make certain that every housewife knows about and enjoys a canned salmon meal during the celebration. In addition to publication publicity, many other organizations such as railroads, steamship lines, express companies and similar interested organizations are planning special displays and features publicizing Alaskas s canned aslmon.
 Several food manufacturers whose products combine attractively with canned salmon have indicated to the Salmon Industry advertising committee that they plan to ag- excessively advertise recipes calling for canned salmon with their prod uct during this time, Buschmann said. He explained that this type of advertising not only enables these manufacturers to capitalize on sal mon promotion, but also adds to the effectiveness of the salmon campaign, since it places salmon recipes before many millions of ad- ditional prospects.

Members of his court lml- tated the Emperors eating habits and all began eating salads made of lettuce leaves.
 But there was no advertising in those days, and salad eating did not become a general custom Centuries later, Napoleon knew about the value of this kind of food, for he ate it daily When in the field, his chef pre- pared salads of green leaves from nearby tree if lettuce was not available. But the general public was not greatly influenced by Napoeons eccentric eating habits.
 In this country, less than generation ago, green salads were almost unknown in the average home Today we are a nation of saIad-eaters What caused this remarkable change? Advertising, and almost nothing else Companies that sell dressing and other salad ingredients have educated the public to the health value of fresh green leaves and have taught people how to prepare salads.

Do you remember when oranges were scarcely ever seen except in Christmas stock ings? They were expensive too It was great thing for us when the orange was pro- noted to a regular place on our year-round breakfast table Now the drinking of decl- ous healthful orange juice is universal custom.
 What brought about this change? It was accomplished entirely by advertising. Farm CTS who raised oranges wanted to sell more of them and they advertised the benefits ot drinking orange juice. Many of us tried It and liked it, and we bought more oranges. Production of oranges went up and prices came down. Annual consumption of oranges increased from per capita to 58 and every body is happier for it, consumers farmers, railroads, and grocers. tis 5e
