Says Boake Carter
Bridges Not a Citizen

Bridges Not Citizen
Her effort to draw red herring acroSs the al
ready smelly trail Of the lady's handling Of the
Bridges case was wrapped UP in this piece In her
epistle:
Perhaps it was unfortunate that Shirley
Temple was born an American citizen and that
we will not have to debate the issue raised by
the preposterous revelations Of your committee
in regard to this innocent and likable child.
In the first place, neither Mr.. Dies nor any
one of his committee intimated any such aSinin'
ity that the Temple child was Communist.
Shirley Temples name was used to mdorSe
few radical outfits camouflaged with phony
name as were the names OF many other Holly
wood stars That was made clear in the Dies Com
mittee testimony hearings records.
UNHE facts are that Bridges is not citizen
takes an active part in directing the activities
of labor Of United States citizens; although not
a citizen he lays down arbitrary law as to when,
where and how they shall work; he dictates to
Pacific Coast employers how they shall hire and
fire: he was the leader Of the general San Fran
cisco strike, in which violence took the lives Of
several American workmen; he was the leader
Of activities which cost the West Coast the State
of California, the Federal Government and all
American citizens who pay taxes for costs,
hundreds of millions of dollars losses.
If a member Of Congress has not the right to
ask why the delay, then who does the madame
degn to designate as a legitimate questioner?

the dropping in the value Of the English and
French money!"

passed on to her last resting
place.
Everyone knows the story of
May Yohe-how she started
her poor parentage-how she
worked her way up with in
domitable courage straight
into the binding spotlight of
publicity.
I remember so well a very
dear friend of mine who
crossed on the steamer with
Miss Yohe, when she was
climbing the Stenladder of

fame, and the description she gave of her lovely
figure. her almond-shaped eyes and her eternal
gaiety that bubbled up like spring and made
everyone that came in contact with her fasci-
mated and bewitched.
Her trtumphs in England are wellknown. Her
extravaganza for those days was by.word. She
would spend money right and left without ever
. thought Of saving anything for herself or
protecting her future.
The Prince Of Wales, before he became King
Edward VII, was a sincere and devoted friend to
her and as I remember, he was the one that
introduced her to Lord Hope.

point that the English pound
and the French franc have
dropped IN relation to the
dollar. A little while ago, the
pound sterling exchanged for
$4.s2. At this writing it ex-
changes for only 1886. Either
the pound has dropped while
the dollar has stood still, or
the pound has dropped more
than the dollar-you can't tell
which by looking at the ex-
change rate.

Remained Philosophical
r HAVE never been tempted like this fasct
mating woman and it is mighty easy to be
good in this world when you have no temptations.
Poor May Yohe's life with Strong was a sad,
unhappy one, and didn't last long, but she seems
to have taken 1t philosophically and gone on
her way doing the best she could. She was
apparently a very kndhearted woman and never
turned away persons who really needed help If
she could assist them in any way. This, to me,
is the really great virtue in this world, helping
the poor unfortunates, if only with kind word.
Miss Yohe after second divorce, apparently
had a hard time of it until she married Capt.
John Smuts, nephew Of Jan Smuts, general Of
Boer war fame. They at least stayed with each
other and stuck together all during the poor
womans ups and downs, through the hard
knocks that life dealt her.

Warns of Hope Diamond

T WILL never forget lovely letter she wrote
l. me when first bought the Hope diamond,
as very young girl. She was playing at one
of the theaters downtown, and she begged me in
this letter to take the wretched diamond and
throw it into the Potomac. She said she had
never had a bit Of luck until that stone had
gone out Of her life.
I had never met May Yohe, but this made
profound impression on me and scared me half
to death, and 1t was q kind act for this gay
and brilliant woman to try and save another
one from her misfortune
She was game to the last. The thing that
appeals to me so strongly is the gallant fight she
put up in the latter days Of her life. Everything
she had loved and worshipped had gone out Of
her life, except her third husband. She worked
hard for a mere pittance, and yet carried on
with her head high and brave spirit.
May Yohe may not have been all that the
standards Of etiquette call for but she certainly
proved herself to be real woman. and salute
her memory with sincere admiration and deep
resrect.

HERE is woman, you would say, who, by all
IA her actions Notwithstanding her charm, did
not have the stamina or the courage to take the
good with the bad, and yet this is exactly what
she did.
It was a great marriage for this child Of fate
when she married Lord Francis Hope-and for
awhile they were supremey happy. Think what
real nerve and courage it took when she found
she was in love with another man. to give up her
great position, her lovely homes, and take
chance on making new life.
Now, personally don't approve Of this walk
ing out and breaking up your home just for the
love of another man, but everyone must admit
that it takes downright courage to do 1t. don't

countries remaining stable. II prices rise IN
England, as the pound drops in exchange for
dollars, the English price Of the worsted may
70 up enough to offset the drop in the rate at
which the pound exchanges for dollars.
The Washington times., 1938-09-05

Next, note that when we buy Prof. L. .Haney
things in England we have to pay pounds" to
some British firm When the pound falls lower
in comparison with the dollar, therefore, we can
get pounds cheaper. This amounts to a price
reduction on English goods, and we tend to buy
more of them. Thus a decline in sterling ex'
change tends to encourage English exports to
America. Similarly decline in the franc, meas
ured in dollars encourages French exports to us.
Prices Rise as Pound Drops
ON THE basis Of the figures mentioned above.

England for $4s2, can now buy 1t for only

"HOt Money" Goes Quickly

DUT the change in exchange rates may merely
~ offset gold movements. We may not want
to import any English goods, even on cheaper
terms Then we may insist on England paying
us for our exports by sending us gold.
Ordinarily the relative drop in the pound means
that gold will bring more in this country than In
England. Thus gold imports occur.
This is particularly apt to occur when political
fears or war threats sweep over foreign countries
Europeans there trade pounds or francs for
dollars because they fear that pounds or francs
will drop further. They do this first by trading
pounds or francs for gold. And then trading
gold for dollars.
Doesn't Employer Curb Freedom?

~ weren't we all ruled by powers not centralized
at Washington which took our freedom?
"You work for an employer and can't express
your honest opinion. I'd sooner have dictator
that have small part in choosing"
Answer: That is a very wrong-headed thought.
We certainly have substantial freedom Of speech
now as formerly, which Is our one hope Of free
dom under the New Deal. I assure you that
write nothing but my honest opinion, and never
have done anything else.

Irving A. Williamson seems to be
the man OF the hour just now. He
and his Young Peoples Society Of

A couple of months ago this gent
started with nothing but the ambition
and idea, and at the outset he met
with nothing but criticism and SEEM
ingly insurmountable obstacles. Well,
she buckled right in with bit of a
grin and did it AT the close every
one was for Williamson. He was the
hero. We doff our hats to the fell
| low and hope that the remainder Of
his career will be just as successful
! as this venture was. We hope that
i this large sum Of money earned by
| these youngsters will not cause any
| dissension. Life is like that!
