 The letter follows:
 Dear Superintendent:
 Yesterday I received a clipping from The Waterbury Democrat deted Dec. 10. The clipping car- ried the caption, Cooperation Needed for Traffic Safety" Let me congratulate you on the story. It is excellent. particularly like the tone of the story.
 Now a word about the newspa- pers. You are more than fortunate in having several newspapers that will go along with you and give your efforts much needed publicity. This newspaper cooperation un- fortunately is not forthcoming in every community.
 I sincerely hope that the Citi- Zens' Traffic Safety Committee is still helping the police department to put across a constructive pro- gram. It will be only through the cooperation of such group that best results can be obtained. You have so well stated this in your newspaper story that do not have to repeat it.
 sincerely hope that you are successful in attaining Death less December"
 Yours very truly,
 -- HAROLD HAMMOND, Director Traffic Division, Nation
 al Conservation Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. (UP)-

domestic and foreign commerce by
aiding France. China and Mexico
to support their currencieS and thus
avoid the need of imposing restric-

nounced today.
Similar aid has been offered to
Brazil. which since last December
has had some form of exchange
control, but it has not yet called
for help. a high administration Off
cial said. He emphasized that the
government is not underwriting the
currencies of foreign powers and
that no risk is involved.
The official. who declined to per-
nit the use of his name, stating
for the first time that this govern
ment is cooperating with France
to support the franc, stressed the
trade benefits of such an operation.
A free exchange. he said, is essen
tial to the free flow of commerce
and to the protection of the shipper.
The exporter and the importer,
it was stated must have reasonable
assurance against wild currency
fluctuations. The shipper must
know within reasonable limits what

arrival as compared with the quoted
price on the day of shipment. He
must know that he will receive
money in payment for goods instead
of being compelled to take payment
in kind. He must have assurance
that he will receive full payment for
goods sold abroad instead of partial
payments to be determined by the
amount of exchange sold prior to
the sale of his product.
All of these dangers, it was said
lurk in exchange controls which
governments are compelled to i'm
pose to protect shattered currency
systems. The large increase in
Americas export and import trade
last year was cited by the official
as being due partly to the ability of
this government to foreStall ex-

He exploded the idea of the work
ing man being a man in overalls, a
cap. and carrying a dinner pail.
Hes a myth" he shouted. We
are all working men. Where are
the sons of labor? They are the
doctors, dentists, lawyers or any
thing else they want to be. 1t Is
ridiculous to try to create class
hatred in America. The number OF
persons living off of inherited
wealth is negligible. The rest of us
work"
Menacing minorities are to blame
for the trouble between employer
and employe, Hume insisted, and
the public permits itself to be
ground between the two. There are
three parties in America today:
the employer, the employe and the
public. The public constitutes the
bulk of the population but isn't or
ganized The public will have to
organize because the public Is in
convenienced by the battle between
the other two parties and has to
pay the bill, Hume said.
Must Protect Property
THE cornerstone of the American
economic system is pride of prop
erty. We must protect it. Legislation
was designed to protect it. The peo-
pie are so apathetic they listen
and understand the danger Then
do nothing" the speaker said. The
people think politics is dirty lousy
game so they leave it to the dirty
louSes to run. That is wrong. We
enjoy the freedom, the rights and
the privileges of the nation. We
should take the responsibility for
preserving it
Labor represents but Is per cent
of the population. The employer
group is negligible. If the public
would cast off its indifference the
militant march of the labor racket
eer would cease"
At the close of the address Otto
Bradshaw, president of the Associ-
ated Farmers of Imperial county
offered membership in the organi-
zation to any one who would join
it. Hugh T. Osborne, manager OF

ed the activities of the group and

NO ASSIGNMENTS

Labor cannot be assigned to any

nounced Friday, unless the applicant
asks to be sent there.
In case the man asks to be as
signed to a job where there is a
strike, State Employment officials
must warn him of the strike and
the applicant must make written
and oral acknowledgment of the
warning. Russell Bailey. director OF
the SES in Imperial county. said,
in commenting on assigning work
ers in the current strike on the
All American canal.
The Wagner act Bailey con-
tinued "forbids us to solicit labor
to go to work on a job where there
is strike. We are instructed to
maintain a hands off policy. The
merits of the difficulty are no con-
Germ of ours. We cannot solicit

the qualifications for such labor,
and we have a labor order from
the employer. he is sent to the job
after the usual preliminaries."
If man walks off a job in strike,
changes his mind and decides to go
back to work, Bailey continued, the
employer may put him back to work
if he wishes as it is not necessary
