THE BILL TO DEPORT
HARRY BRIDGES

Congress should approve the bill to
dcport Harry Bridges. the Australian,
Just as the committee which recommends
ed it did-unanimouSly
Congress, of course. Will not give the
bill! unanimous approval but II the mett-
sure is approved at all Wo shall have re-
ceived one worthwhile thing out OF the
welter of talk about fifth columns and
undesirable aliens
Had not the labor department. under
the direction of Madame Secretary of
Interior Perkins, planned and carried
through 'WhitcWaSh" hearing which
presented nothing Of the real evidence
available against Bridges he would have
been deportcd before now under existing
laws
Those existing laws could be called into
force against him-if the persons charged
with enforcing the laws would attempt
to enforce them without prejudice. In
stead theories and politics were allowed
to muddy the stream of iuStice-and now
congress itself must make new law
directed at Just one man.
There is no question in our mind but
that Bridges should be depOrtcd Since
he has been in this country he has done
nothing but make trouble of one sort or
another His opinions of government. his
ulSfeSdfu Ioi l)ciSoldl rights OF OInerS
and for property rights in general are
notorious. The ClO maritime unions
merely provided him with vehicle by
which to carey out his designs The CIO
will be better off. and the nation will
be far better off. if Bridges is deported.
Bridges is typical Of a dangerous alien
element which has by one method or an
other arisen to positions of power in
this country. That they have in many
instances been encoW aged by the New
Deal during the past seven Years is nei-
ther here nor there. for the New Deal has
finally seen its mistake. Aliens who have
used the cloak of democracy to hide their
efforts to defeat democracy are at last
being recognized for what they are.
1t took war in Europe to pound into
the heads of New Dealers the fact that
democracy. if it ! to survive. must mill
family protect itself against its enemies.
instead of coddling them. pampering
them and favOrinp them above all others.

Nav Be Bargaining Move.

Financial circles, however, were
inclined to consider the possibility
that the move was toward a better
bargaining position for Argentina
pending discussions with Mr.. Pier
son, who is expected to arrive from
Rio de Janeiro next Monday.
These circles recalled there was
similar tightening of exchange
restrictions last year shortly before
Inauguration of the fruitless nego-
tiations for trade agreement. De-
spite this general belief, however,
trade statistics indicate Argentina
may have dollar shortage> Since
the European war began, the United
States has been the only major
nation producing unencumbered
foreign exchange for Argentina.
Through 1889 and the first half
of 1910, Argentina had an adverse
trade balance of more than $4,000 =
900 with the United States. In
addition, this country needs approx
mately $26 900 900 annually for its
dollar debt service.
PiersOn to Discuss Loan.
Mr. Pierson is coming here to
discuss with Argentine officials the
use to be made of $4,000, 900
loan granted months ago but yet
uncompleted. Sources close to the
government insist, however, bigger
things are in the wind, possibly in
cluding an effort on the part of
Argentina to obtain credits up to
sl00 900 900 in North America to tide
the nation over its period of des-
perate economic depression springing
from the war.
The local press has been limiting
at the possibility of triangular
Argentine, United States, Great
Britain deal whereby the British
would be allowed to buy great guam
titles of Argentine products through
credits which in turn would be ar
ranged in the United States. One
British official. when asked the pos
sibilities of such a scheme, said:
Nothing on such a plan has been
done here, but naturally if Argen-
tina and the United States are will
ing we will be only too glad"
Oficials said yesterday suspension
of import permits for United States
products was "a routine action when
available exchange dropped to a
certain level" and not the result
of government decree. 1t was
added that resumption Of issuing
permits would be undertaken as
soon as Argentina's sales in the
United States or in other countries
produce SUFFICIENT dollar exchange

look for the weight on the box
rather than the fancy picture or rib

DO not wait until the last mo-
ment to buy your Christmas tur-
key. Do not shop at busy hours
when clerks are rushed. Do not let
the butcher send the turkey out of
your sight to be cleaned, as it might
be switched for a lighter and
cheaper bird. Select a turkey that
is plump, with breastbone flexible
at the touch, light pink meat and
skin clean and free from bruises.
Ham and other meats should not
be weighed in heavy paper wrap

shall be by net weight.
BE reluctant to buy from roam
