differs from that Of the other
areas in that 1t requires higher
per centage of agreement before
action can be taken. The reason
for this, 1t has been explained, is
that a certain group In the Cali
fornia area already controlled more
of the crop than was necessary to
dictate the policy of the whole
area. Instead Of the customary
two-thirds majority, the western
section used so per cent. That
meant that four-fifths of oil grow
ers had to agree before any plan
could become rule.
Our government is based on the
indiSputable idea that majority rule
is good. Yet it does not necessarl-
" hold that more majority rule is
better. When we demand a too
large majority before passing a
law, we create a minority which
has the power to block that law
in spite of the desires Of the
majority. Thus, if 79 per cent Of
the grower agree to plan, a mere
81 per cent can stop them.
But not all of the pressure put
on the Committee is by the grow
ers. Powerful Gamers would like
to see little or no restriction
placed on the supply. The Gamer
is in a peculiarly important spot
in the citrus-marketing setup. He
can take a perhishable product ana
convert it into something that will
keep for years. He would rather
buy his citrus from a glutted mar
| ket and let the price raising control
come after he gets his fruit into
cans. He can handle the situation
nicely then.
The present amendment before
the House Agriculture Committee
is to change the 80 per cent
majority rule. Most of the growers
have expressed a desire to have
tie regular twoithirds majority
which is used by the other two
areas.

A TRIBUTE TO

One month ago, we laid to
rest in its earthly bed, all that

There are other virtues that 60
into the making of great men,
but kindness is one OF the most
SIS t ia characteristics OF
greatness; And Ed was kind
very kind-even when perform
ing the unpleasant duty of ar
resting some so-called bad men,
Ed was kind. Ella wheeler VIII
GOV wrote: $50 many Gods, So
many creeds, So many paths,

This man had not reached the
top of the eastern slope of the
highway of life, when he was
called to tat unknown land,
from which men do not return.
Gods wonderful plan is too
mysterious for any of us to I'M
derstand.
One whole month has passed
since Ed left us, and the vacant
place in our little city seems
just as great as it did the day
he went away. Yet, this is not
strange, since the vacant place
is in the hearts of all who knew
and loved him. It isn't the posi-
ton he left in the world of
work, for that's being filled by
other men; It's his smiles and
kind deeds and words that we
miss so much. Mems smiles and
kind deeds are remembered,
long after the work they did
and the money they made is
forgotten. We are prone to say:
what a pity, he left no insur-
ance to his wife and children
Maybe it is a pity; Yet, we
have known rich men who have
left fortunes totheir heirs, and
the heirs have died in want,
Surely the assurance this man
invested in the hearts of his
fellowmen will prove, after all

DISCRIMINATION

Senator Burke OF Nebraska
complains that we discriminate
against Puerto Rico and favor
Cuba. Puerto Rico is an Amer
lean possession while Cuba has
a government of its own. Citi-
Zenship rights of Puerto Ricans
differ in no way from those OF
the residents of any state in
the union. Puerto RicanS are
governed by our federal laws
and are under protection of our
constitution.
Ninety per cent of the pur-
chases made by Puerto Rico
are from the United States
farms and factories. Her citi-
zens are in our army and navy,
and they may be called upon
for service in time of war. The
Nebraska senator analyses our
trade statistics from the two
islands. Cuba, being a foreign
nation, is not subject to our
wage and security laws. Never
theless she has been granted
trade concessions beyond those
granted the people of Puerto
Rico. Both islands produce su-
gar. We buy from Puerto Rico
815 900 tons of sugar. From
Cuba we buy annually 1,954,OOO,
more than two times as much.
Trade agreements with Cuba
have increased that nations
favorable trade balance by
about II million dollars during
a four wears period. In the
same period the trade balance
from Puerto Rico decreased by
over SO million dollars. He
charges that in the purchase
of sugar and other crops from
the two islands we have dis
eliminated against our own
people.
Senator Burke could have
found an example of discrlml-
nation against our own people
in favor of Cuba in his own
state, in fact all over the beet
sugar producing territory in the
middle west and in the cane
sugar producing territory in the
south. This country produces
only about 81 per cent OF the
sugar it consumes. It could pro-
duce practically all of the sugar
it needs. The sugar beet in
dustry has been crippled by an
agricultural department hostile
to the industry, thru acreage
production and in other ways.
The production of beet sugar
has been uneconomical. The
people of the sugar beet pro-
ducing territory have been pen
allied, forced to pay high prices
for beet sugar consumed here,
partly because of inequitable
freight rates. The senator
makes a good case for Puerto
Rico. He could make just as
good a case, if not better, for
the middle west. !
There appears to be no good
reason why we should discrlm-
mate against our own people in
favor of Cuba. There may be
some explanation, however,
when the vast investments OF
Americans in the Cuban sugar
industry are considered. One
wonders whether the United
States would buy any sugar
from Cuba if all of our invest
ments in that industry were in
Puerto Rico, or for that matter,
in the middle west.

W JAMES PREsToN .

A confidential report, based
on a secret investigation of liV-
ing standards in one of the
foreign ism countries, has
been laid on the desk of a top
rung admlniStrationite. It will
be made public soon. When 1t
is released for public conSump-
ton, it will take the wind from
the sails of anyone with the
notion that the dictators have
created a magic economic Uto-
pia that challenges The Ameri-
can Way of free enterprise and
representative Democracy.
To begin with, the Investigate
or is said to have found the
much bally-hooed living stand
ard of the dictator nation about
on a par with American SlumS.
Salaries were found to be about
half the average in America,
and about 10 per cent of the
population was found to be on
the government payroll, sup
ported by unprecedented taxes
imposed on the other 80 per
cent.
AS for prices of foodstuffs, the
report is said to contain this
comparison. based on the cur
rent rate of exchange:
In the "Utopi-
U. S. aiSm'
Steak, per Id. -. 38.4c $1.00
Butter, 10 ....... $3.50 Csc
Eggs, dOZ. ....... 44.5c TIC
Gasoline, Gal -. II C soc
Coffee, Id ....... % c $1.OO
In other words, the worker in
the dictator nation, receiving
only half (or even less than
half the wages of an American
worker, pays many more times
as much for his food. Clothing,
rent and other necessities are
proportionately as high.
incidentally, the investigator
found many foods hard to get.
Often, inferior substitutes are
sold. Such foods as butter and
coffee are rationed to the citi-
ZenS, he found.
A new kind of game is being
played in the Capital, but there
are limitations on who can play.
It is limited to members of Con-
gress, and the game, for want of
a better name, can be called
wait and See."
One team is composed of
members who want to amend
some of the laws enaced by the
last Congress to make them
workable. The Wagner Act is
one, for example. The other
team is composed notify of
hold-overs from the last Con-
gress who wrote the legislation
in question. A member of the
latter team sums up the ap-
parent point of the game thus:

the other side is going to pro-
pose. If they come out with a
good ball, maybe we can pick it

Two will be trancontinental and
two will run North-South.
Incidentally, to avoid quib-

gressmen have agreed among
themselves to leave the matter
entirely in the hands of the

FOUGHT HARD TO
 COMMIT SUICIDE

Boston, Jan. 18.-(UP).-Robert Kimball fought seven men lest night and lost-but his defeat prob- ably saved his life. A friend whom Kimball summoned to his Hotel Statler roo mfound the 40-year-old, 200-pound Bostonian sitting on a 12th-fioor window ledge, his feet dangling 150 meet above the ground. Seven hotel employees, including Special Police Officer Arthur Huey. responded to the friends call for aid after Kimball had ignored hls pleas to return inside. As they walked toward the window. Kimball slipped nearer the edge. Huey and thc oth- CT retreated and then tried tc coax him from his precarious perch.
 After half-hour of pleading, they caught Kimball in an unguarded mo- ment and as Huey grasped his hands,, the others grabbed his clothing. Kimball, reportedly suffer- ing from nervous breakdown, struggled to break theri holds. His screams attracted the attention of scores below who stood breathless- ly while the battle waged. Finally subdued, Kimban was dragged through the window and fell to the floor exhausted.

FRENCH FLEETS :..:..LEAYEHAR
To Display Naval Strength Near Gibraltar-Europe
 Awaits Hitler Speech
By HAROLD ETTLINGER 

(Unlted Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 Paris, Jan. 18-CUP)-France's At lantic and Mediterranean fleets sailed from their bases at Best and Toulon today for double action maneuvers and display of naval strength in the vicinity of Gibraltar.
 At the same time Gen. Maurice Gamelin, chief of staff of the army, and Vice Admiral Francois Darlan, chief of staff of the navy, left Paris to embark at Toulon tonight or to- morrow on joint inspection tour of French coastal defenses and colonial military establishments in Algeria and Morocco.
 The government denies that there is any intention to make a deliberate display of strength in view of Italy's claims for concessions in the Medi- terranean. That the joint navy-army activities will be regarded as pure coincidence by Italians was doubted.
 Some Coincidence
 It was another remarkable coin- cidence, if nothing more, in view of Prime Minister Neville Chamber iain's assertion at Rome that the British-Fren entente was stronger than ever, that there will be an ex- actly similar British navy-army move next week. The British home fleet is to sail for Gibraltar Sunday, for combined navy-army-ai force maneuvers with the British Medi- terranean fleet. January 26 Viscount

STUDENTS MUST
 SALUTE COLORS

Albany, Jan. 18-(UP)-A court of appeals ruling established today that students attending New York schools can not evade saluting the American flag on religious grounds.
 "Saluting the flag ill no sense is an act of worship or species of idolatry, nor does it constitute any approach to religious observance" Chief Judge Frederick E. Crane ruled on the refusal of 13-year old Grace Sandstrom to salute the flag.
 The girl refused to salute on the grounds it violated the biblical ban against lowing down to an image" She and her parents are members of Jehovah's witnesses, a religious sect.
 The court reversed convictions for an education law violation against the parents, MT. and Mrs. Charles SandStrom of Lake Ronkonkoma Long Island, holding that if any dis ciplinary action is necessary it should be directed at the child rather than the parents.

NEW HAVE ROAD
 WINS DECISION

New Haven. Conn, Jan. 1S.-(UP) The Boston and Providence rail- road lost its federal court petition today to operate independently of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad, its parent organiza- tion.
 Judge Carroll 0. Hincks refused to recognize the roads contention that the New Haven system lacked jurisdiction over its affairs on the ground the New Haven had can- celled its lease with the Old Colony railroad which in turn rejected its lease with the B & P.
 The court ruled the Boston & Providence should have filed c mo- tion to repossess its property and gave counsel until Jan. 20 to file objections to its decision.
