American farmers planted 38,000,-

needs and those of Europe. 1t was

10-year average of 1875, 1000, 900 acres.

The third factor-especially inter-

is the prospect of higher land
values. S. M. Waters, president of

WASHINGTON.- Exports OF
American merchandise exceeded
imports in October by the largest
margin in nearly two years, the
commerce department reported.
Exports totaled 1882, 079, 900 and
imports $215, 281 900. The $116, 1884,
600 difference was said by the de-
partment to be the widest spread
for any month since January, 1888.

Delegation of New PoUer to
Executive Officers Goes On

Through all of the years, there
fore, there has continued to be a
delegation of new power to execu-
tive officers of the federal govern
ment. 1t is nearly as bad in the
state governments. Moreover,
through all of the years, officials of
these agencies-being human-have
continued to reach for and obtain,
more power than was ever intended
to be in their hands. There is no
mushroom that can grow faster than
federal agency, once it gets in
proper soil and temperature. 1t is
well to remember, also, that there

Lawyers Objects of Barbed
Darts From the President

The American Bar association and
lawyers generally have been sub
jected to barbed darts from Presi-
dent Roosevelt. On one pretext or
another, Mr.. Roosevelt has put tacks
in the seats of lawyers pants ever
since he entered the White House.
Fundamentally, that criticism al
ways has been based in the Presi-
dents belief that lawyers were not
working in the public interest Here,
then, it seems to me, is a fine OPP
portunity. Inasmuch as the asso-
cations governing body meets early
in 1910 and inasmuch as 1910 is a
year of national elections, why, I
ask, does not the bar association get
busy? Why not demand of the can
didates for the house of representa-
tives and the senate pledge that
they act on some legislation that
will partially restore a representa-
tive form of government as distin-
guished from the thousand little die
tators now running our federal ma
chinery?

be done in seeking a solution for the
problem, want to suggest rather
simple method. Let congress create
joint committee of representatives
and senators who would be empow-
cred to pass upon all of these rules
and regulations that are issued in
the countless offices of government.
Not only the 46 independent teach
ers' pets, but all arms of the fed
eral government having the right to
set up enforcement powers.
1t long has been regarded as a
prerogative of congress to inquire
into the operations of the executive
branch of the government. Con-
gress has been jealous of that pre-
rogative, as it should be. If it would
create such a committee as I have
suggested, therefore, it would be a
means of preventing the evils of
million rules about which congress
now has nothing to say and it would
restore to congress, as the elected
representatives of the people, the
authority which it has foolishly given
away. And if there needs to be
face-saving on badly drawn laws,
congress would be able to do that
without having to admit that it is,
or has been, wrong.

Not at all. and so far as the public
knows. he is still an advocate OF
communism.
What Is the CP0:
This same Lovestone organized
what has been known as the CPO
-- Communist Party Opposition
Much misunderstanding prevails
concerning this offshoot OF the
Communist Party. III some minds
the impression prevails that CPO
stands for opposition to commun-
ism. Nothing of the kind is true.
The CPO is Just another group OF
Communists. just as the Trotskyites
are another group of communists.
Jay LoveStone was a Communist
IN good standing in the Communist
Party until he was hoisted out OF
the national secretaryship. In Or
der TO carry on his communist ac-
tivities he organized a communist
show OF his own under the name
OF the CPO.
Martin and Lovestone
All OF this would be unimportant
were II not that President Martin
surrounded himself with the Love-
stone group OF communists
The records show that President
Martin has been q confidant Of
Communist Lovestone in the most
important affairs Of the United
Automobile Workers Of America.
The Office OF the International
Union was the nesting place for
the CPOs President Martin met
Lovestone in Detroit. New York
Washington. Milwaukee. Atlantic
City, and other places
Lovestone was consulted on the
important matters OF the Auto
Workers Union while President
Martins fellow officials in the
Union were ignored.
At the very time President Martin
fiirted with Father Coughlin OF
Royal Oak. cooperating with him
In his anti-communist crusade. he
was also flirting with Communist
Jay Lovestone.
Up to this very day President
Martin is collaborating with a close
ally OF Lovestone. an ally who has
written many OF his anti-commun-
ist radio speeches and has edited
The United Auto Worker.
II is we'll to inform our members
that repeatedly President Martin
boasted OF his membership in the
Socialist Party. years ago in Kansas
