SHANGHAI, Oct. 29 (P)-The American and British Chambers of Commerce met jointly to dis cuss a united front against Jap anese efforts to monopolise the Chinese trade. The Chinese press reported that Japanese firms are rapidly establishing sales offices in all conquered cities to handle goods while foreign trade is blocked by the Army.
 Americans here said Japan is already implementing a program designed to oust American busi- ness from China. The Japanese army drove deeper into the in- terior and completed hopping up operations at Hankow..

ONE CAUSE
OF UNEMPLOYMENT
(Alameda Times-Star)

One cause of unemployment and de-
preston in this country is the forcing
down of price levels below production
costs by foreign competition based on
lower wage levels and living standards
which destroy consuming power among
those who work to produce these art
icles abroad and among those who are
deprived of the right to make or grow
them here.
The farmer suffers from the fact that
he is compelled to meet rapidly increas-
ing cheap competition abroad with his
surplus, while at the same time his near
est. best and only protected market at
home is impaired when industrial Wem-
ployment develops in the United States.
SO long as We permit prices to be
fixed in the United States. as we are do
ing now, by foreign producers operating
on the basis of low and lowering wages
for workers. rather than give our unem-
ployed a square deal in meeting such
competition by handicapping it with a
tariff to the full amount of the advan-
tage gained through cheapening goods,
by cheapening men and destroying their
consuming power, We will indeed have to
wait for the rest of the world to raise its
wages and living standards before we can
effect economic recovery.
By giving our own countrymen a
square deal we could end the depression
almost Immediately. Until European in
dustrialists are willing to lay down the
weapon of cheapness of goods procured
by debasing labor and destroying the con-
suming power of the masses, there will
not be much cheering in this country for
the scheme of having American tariffs
adjusted and regulated at an internat-
ional conference in Paris, Geneva or
London rather than by the Congress of
the United States.
For the American Congress is elected
by the American people to serve their
just interests rather than the ends of the
international pawn brokers and labor
sweaters.

One reason why so many people
get away with speeding in city is
because they have 4 law that the
motorcycle officer has'ta follow the
speeder a certain distance and check
the speed with his own speedo-

One of those speeders came thru
my home town once and when an
officer on foot arrested him for
speeding the man says "HOw did ia

PROPOSED DEPORTATION
LAWS NEED CORRECTION

In these columns yesterday we en-
dorsed a proposed law, also endorsed by
the county board of supervisors, which
would provide deportation of any alien
convicted Of a felony, any alien in this
country unlawfully, or any alien who
remained in this country for 10 years
without becoming a naturaliZed citizen.
In doing so we inadvertently overlooked
the fact that there are persons, good cit
liens in every respect, who cannot be-
come naturaliZed citizens.
We remain heartily in favor Of the
proposed law for the reasons stated yes
terday, but we do feel that it should be
corrected to except those aliens who
THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR
OWN-have remained in this country for
10 years without being naturalized. Such
a correction would eliminate discrimina-
ton against many entirely disirable citi-
zens included in the MongOlian and Cau-
caSian races through no fault Of theirs,
cannot become naturaliZed citizens of the
United States.
1t is not the intent of the proposed
law, as we see it, to discriminate against
aliens merely because they are aliens. 1t
is the intention we believe, to rid this
country of undesirable aliens, and the
faster that is accomplished the greater
will be our economic and moral improve,
ment.

FEELING THE PULSE FOR
THIRD TERM SYMPTOMS

Right now II IS very dangerous to say
President Roosevelt will not run for
third term. Probably the President him
self doesn't yet know if he will defy
American tradition by seeking to follow
himself in office at the 1910 elections.
If that is the case, it seems safe to say
that the decision he eventually makes
may be based to a great extent on the re-
suit of his cross-country tour.
Two things may sway the Roosevelt
decision:
l. The reception Roosevelt himself re-
ceives during his journey.
2. The result of primary elections in
states where the President openly or in
ferentially approves one candidate over
another
If he depends on these two things, it
is as safe as any prediction that he will
run for third term. If he is as astute
political observer as he seems to be, they
may, not be allowed To influence his de-
cision to the exclusion of all else. This
is so because everyone = Republicans and
Democrats alike-Will cheer for the Pres
ident when he appears on the platform
1t is an old American custom. 1t is so also
because the candidates who seem likely
to receive the Presidential political bless
ing would be mighty hard to beat with
out any sort of help from any outside
source whatever.
Another possibility appears While we
consider the political aspects of the Pres
idential journey. 1t has to do with the ef
feet on voters throughout the nation of
ed victories for candidates personally
endorsed by the President. Such victories,
even though they would have been won
without the Roosevelt endorsement, are
bound to strengthen the New Deal in the
minds of many voters. In doing so, they
would have vital effect on any third
term hopes the President may have.
As the President traverses the ma
tion it is becoming more and more ap-
parent that the political part of his jour
ney is by no means the least important.
Whether it is merely an attempt to
strengthen the New Deal in congress
next year, or definite bid for third
term, remains to be seen.

On the UpSring
Facts and Figures :.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON-With everybody
hoping and praying that the coun-
try is about to move upward from
the depressions bottom, economists
and statisticians have gathered in
enough facts and figures to per
NIT them to present fairly
plausible and well connected ana
lysis of factors making for the pre-
sent inertia.
There is no assurance that such
a diagnosis will be helpful in ward
ing off economic depressions of the
future. But you never can tell.
Lauchlin Currie, assistant direc
tor of research and statistics for the
business fifuheS are widely used
in industry and government, recent
ly summed up his conclusions in
a confidential survey.
Currie groups esSential depres-
sion factors roughly as follows:
National Income: From 1888 to
1886 forces tending to increase the
national income were ascendant.
Government kept adding to buying
power more than it took In taxes.
National income increased from
less than 40 billion dollars in 1888
to "a billions in 1886.
Prices: England's rearmament
inspired speculation in certain raw
materials and inspired inflationary
sentiment. In a quick transition
period, labor won substantial wage
and hour concessions. A sellers
market resulted from anticipation
of rising prices and fear of inter
uptionS by strikes. Industries pas
sed on higher costs in higher prices
and some encouraged excessive for
ward buying by announcing price
increases effective on future dates.
Inventories: Dun and Brad
streets survey covering 1000 firms
indicates that manufacturing and
merchandising inventories increas-
ed by about two billion dollars
in 1886 and three billions in 1887.
Government Expenditures: Here
came the biggest, quickest drop of
all amoung factors tending to in
crease national income. Net excess
of activity creating federal eX
penditures over and above tax coll
ections was four billion dollas in
1886. This excess dropped from about
1885, 100000 a month though 1886
to less than $6O,000,000 monthly
from March to December, 1887
Bonus payment swelled the total
in 1886 and collection of a billion
social security taxes shrank the
1897 figure.
Other Factors The speculative

Or later; this one ended in April
of last year. Pressure on inventories

NEVADA COUNTY JUSTICE
(Marysville Appeal-Democrat)

Tables have been completely turned
on the CIO pickets who made such hull
abalOo in Sacramento about "the break
down of law and order in Nevadacounty."
Five of the pckets have been convicted
and sentenced to jail terms and fined for
stirring up violence and interfering with
workmen employed at the Murchie mine.
Nevada county people have contended
all along that law and order did not
break down and that the law abiding resi-
idents of the county were determined
outside agitators should not break it
down. This version of the trouble is borne
out by the statement of Judge Raglan
Tuttle, who remarked in sentencing the
pickets that "Open defiance of law and
order will not be tolerated in Nevada
county,
Subsequent events and developments
at this trial have indicated that the peo-
pie of Nevada county were exceptionally
tolerant of interference by a group that
threatened the industry on which Grass
Valley and Nevada City depend for
livelihood. Even in this case the court
indicated it would have suspended sem
tences had the defendants admitted their
guilt and asked for leniency It is evident
that the Workhen in Nevada county
mines, as we'll as the employers, ask no.
thing more than to operate the mines
peacefully and take care Of their own af-
fairs.
