trucks.
The resolution passed the board
by unanimous vote of the five
members.
Certain interests have notified
certain transportation companies
and certain farmers in Imperial
county that trucks cannot be used
without interference from certain
groups of individuals unless the
closed shop edict is followed, the
resolution declared.
Drivers were Threatened
The CLOSED shop" edict was is
sued by Teamsters' union Spokes-
men at Hynes last month when
union men attempted to prevent
unloading of a truck of hay de-
livered at the yards by the Imper-
ial Hay Growers association. Fur
ther edicts were issued by union
men in cases where valley hay was
delivered at the yards by nom
union drivers.
Spokesman for the union threat
ened to declare the hay hot" un-
less the trucks are manned by un-
ion men. The union attempted
to force CLOSED shop" orders by
refusing to handle milk and cream
from dairies accepting the hot"
hay. Creameries and manufactur-
ers, however. voted last weekend
to accept the cream from the dairieS
using the so-called hot" hay in
spite of the union demands.

HITLER'S invasion of our
IL Latin-American markets Is
causing no serious loss of sleep
on high here. Mourning about
1t is popular in official quarters
because there is a definite plan
afoot here to accelerate arma-
ment programs and to make the
good-neighbor policy mean some
thing more than an excellent
phrase.
But any insider will tell you
there is only one bad spot
Uruguay. There, and only there,
Hitler'S trade is improving faster
than ours and is slightly greater
than ours.
Figures prepared for officials
by the Commerce Department
show Hitler got 15.6 per cent Of
Uruguay'S foreign buying in the
first six months this year, which
was a so per cent increase over
the same period of the previous
year.
At the same time U. S. got
1878 per cent as compared with
1871 in the first six months Of
the year before.

Says Boake Garter

HERE Is one more good example Of the inane
AA characteristic we possess of camouflaging q
set Of facts with emotionaliSm because Of popular
o1StaSte for particular kind of social conduct
It Is, furthermore, additional contrast between
our own national bad habit of thinking only Of
the moment and the British characteristic of
cold realism and calculation of the future. The
British, being guided for the first time since the
World War by middleclasS men instead of
aristocratS, are reviving that great principle
underlying Britain's 1,00Gyear succeSs-the prin-
cple that more is lost in the long by fighting
than by trading.
Playing With Fire
TUE fact that Washington discourages an
- American business outfit from selling its
products to any and all customers regardless Of
their personal habits, their social conduct and
their philosophical outlook of life, is, to begin
with, dangerous discrimination.
It is discrimination because it favors one class
of customer above another in commercial world.
1t is dangerous because it is promotion Of an
ideology; promotion of an emotionalism above q
state of common sense.
Worst Of all, it is subtle encouragement Of q
policy Of commitment, Of this nation, through
private investments, to the side Of one group Of
nations In exact same fashion as occurred from
1914 to 1917.
The nations with whom we invest the most
money now will be the nations with whom we
must side in any future war. And yet we have q
neutrality act and we have Chief Executive who
sends cables gabbling about the necessity for
peace!

T WAS on Pennsylvania Avenue yesterday, and

two people. One young man, obviously in great
hurry, walking DOWN the steps, and very old
lady, lame, walking UP the steps, They passed
about halfway. The young man, it was easy to
see, had been unsuccessful in whatever he went
in there for, and disappointment was on his face.
But he stopped, turned, and helped the old
lady up to the top, tipped his hat. and was off,
Surely. this young man will soon get what he
wants. only wish the fellow who had turned
him down could have seen him five minutes

Fictitious Values

HITLER IS DOING almost as
IL much business as we are in
Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and
Guatemala, but it is not quite
accurate to Say-as is being
said-that he is taking away
our markets in these countries.
In Brazil and Chile, for insance,
his figures contracted slightly in
the first six months of this
year, while ours expanded
slightly.
Furthermore, all these official
figures give Hitler a better
South American position than he
actually occupies. The figures
are based on value of exports
to these countries, which are
padded about 20 to IS per cent
in the case of Germany because
she is dealing in the fictitious
value of special ASK marks
(not ReichSmarks). In other
words, Hitler overpays 20 to IS
per cent for Latin-American
goods in his barter arrange
ments and his government alb
serbs the loss. So a strictly true
picture would show his South
American business to be at least
one-fifth less than official
figures.
