ports Within The Mediter-
ranean Section

WASHINGTON, June 1O-R-
Extension of the wal to the Medl.
terranean means a blow to United
States exports in that area-ex'
ports which constitute about five
per cent of total American ship
ments to foreign countries.
A large part Of the shipments
to the region r expected to be
blocked forthwith and all of them
may be, depending on what course
the war there takes.
Exports to the 10 principal Med
iterranean countries last year to-
tailed $1O4, 446, 900, the commerce
department estimated. Imports
from them amounted to $1,01, 1853,
600, or seven percent of American
imports.
Some of the products normally
imported from the Mediterranean
area are of great importance tc
American economy. Among thess
are Turkish tobacco. long staple
cotton, olive oil, valona FUSED ir
tanning,) licorice root, opium fol
n :dicinal purposes, gum arabic.
hops, filberts, figs, currants, pista'
che nuts, Especially for lineoleum)
cheese, special types. of wool, bone

The United States principal ex'
ports to these countries include au'
tomotive products, machinery.
electrical equipment, cotton, pc
troIeum, iron and steel scrap, anc
various chemical products.
Italian-American trade alone
amounted last year to 1913, 765, 900
Italy bought $58, 864, 900 worth o:
goods from the United States and
since the war. had been expand

The Important Point

IN all the comment and controversy that has arisen
over the question of whether not Harry Bridges
is Communist, it seems to us important point
has been overlooked
The fact remains that whether or not he is Cum
munist Bridges is alien It is not good for demo
cracy good for our country that any alien should
be entrusted with such great power as Bridges pos
sesses in his capacity head of the maritime unions
Of the Pacific coast This is particularly true in the
present critical period of international affairs.
The unions made very serious mistake when they
elected Bridges to head their allied organization They
have thereby suffered immensely in the loss of public
sympathy and confidence.
Bridges is intelligent enough to know this himself
and had he had the best interests Of the union at
heart he would never have permitted himself to be
elevated to such exalted position much less have
pushed himself forward into it.
It is our belief that who is not citizen Of
the United States should not be permitted to occupy
position where he so vitality affect public well
fare, either in time of peace or time of war.
After the alien has become citizen through the
prescribed legal methods, he is entitled to all the
rights and privileges Of natural citizen. Until he
has achieved such status he should sing low and not
attempt the leading role in matters vitality affecting
public policy and interest.

The Western Menace

IUE have long believed that the greatest foreign
menace American security lies in the west, rath
er than in the east We still believe that if and when
war forced upon America the area will lie in the Pa
cific rather than in the Atlantic We are not
nearv so fearful or concerned the possibility Of
attack from the mechanized forces of Adolf Hitler and
Bento Mussoni as we are over the chances that war
will be forced upon by the yellow egions of the
Mikado of Japan
The three great totaltaran powers are Germany,
Italy and Japan They have close working alliance
All of the elements Of military strategy indicate ha
the attack on American interests would be mace pr
marily by Japan That this viewpoint is shared bV ffr
naval strategsts of America is indicated by the fact
that our navy is being kept in the Pacific ocean.
The Japanese regard themselves as the leaders anfe
potential organizers of Asia. The national deoogy OF
the Japanese people includes the belief that their dcs
tiny leads them to conquer and rule Asia and all Of the
islands of the Pacific. They also have deep-rooted
faith in their ability to defeat America and they Will
never rest content until they have made try at it.
When the will and desire for exists within a
nation or a people, the excuse for declaring war IS
easily found When the time comes the japanese Will
not be found lacking in such for hosiitles
against the United States
We believe their first efforts at expansion will be
made in French Indo-C China and the Dutch East In
dies After that will the Philippines and Hawaii
Then the trouble will start

Avoid Hysteria!

EVERY effort should be made by the American peo-
Aple to avoid the hystera which was such pronounc
ed national characteristic during the first world war;
We learned afterward that large percentage of the
things which we were led to believe about different
classes of people and their attitude toward Americana
participation in the conflict were erroneous
It is to be hoped that in the present critical period
will be little calm A lot of innocent people
suffered during the first world war from unfounded
suspicion and unjust accusations Let us not repeat
that sad experience.
There were German spies and saboteurs in our
midst during the first world war; but we learned at
terward that their number not more than one
twentieth what we had been led to believe
There are fifth columnsts and Nazi and Commun-
lists sympathizers and members among us now. Their
number is greater than during the first world
With this knowledge there is therefore, all the
more danger that innocent and patriotic people of
foreign birth extraction may be unustly placed un
der the foul suspicion of subverism.
Let U.S. as the President warns be alert to discover
and guard against hostile subversve individuals or
organizations. Let us, he also admonishes avoid
hystera and false or -founded accusations of inno-
cent people
We must also guard against selfish or biased in
terests among ourselves who will try to take advan-
tage of public enotiOnalism to seek vengeance upon
those whom they regard as their enemies This is a
thing which always occurs at times when people
raised to high point of patriotic fervor Parcu-
lary is this true In the struggles between capital and
labor In such critical times there are always employ
ers who wrap the flag around themselves and de-
traitors any of their workers who seek bet
ter conditions to preserve those which they have
These patrioteers always cause internal commotion
and set class against class at time when national
unity is essential
Let us be watchful and at the same time let us be
sensible.

mediately and deservedly associated
with sinister happenings. Agreed,
there are infiltrations from certain
sources that we Americans want
none Of. However, it seems to me
we could cultivate certain visitors
who would be most desirable from
many viewpoints.
The airways and newspapers are
full of talk about an economic bloc
to be formed by the Americas. It is
to their mutual interest at this time
for the countries of North and South
America to strengthen the bonds of
friendship between themselves. From
a commercial standpoint, we can
supply them with most of the man.
ufactured commodities they former
ly purchased from European sources.
In return, our own country will alb
sorb great quantities of their raw
materials. American industry ad-
nnits it has missed the boat, up
to the present time, as far as COM
peting with Europe for the South
American market is concerned.
It is common knowledge that the
upper class South Americans have
educated their children in Europe
for generations. They have spent
their vacations in the old country
They have intermarried with Ger
man, French, Italian, Spanish and
English. All Of those factors provid-
ed natural trend which encourag-
ed and welcomed European mer-
chandise and merchants. Today the
war in Europe has forced South
Americans, loving liberty and dem
ocracy, to look to this country It
has closed the gates to hundreds Of
thousands of South American trav-
elers who would otherwise be plan
ming trips to Europe.
Wouldn't it help our industrial
program tremendously if we at
tempted to draw South America
tourist trade to the United States?
The South Americans have been
quick to realize that the American
tourist who formerly went to Eu-
rope offers logical business for
them. AS pointed out last week,
magazines and newspapers will be
carrying both editorials and adver-
tisements about South America.
There is bound to be an exchange
of tourists with the present con-
ditio1ls existing. If we advertise in
South America, we could make it
an even exchange. This will bring
hundreds of thousands of tourist dol
lars from South America into this
country. 1t will give the South
Americans an opportunity to learr
the habits and feel the hospitality
and friendliness of this great de
nl0cracy.
This kind of infiltration would b.
constructive and welcome. In addi
ton, it would more than pay it
own way.

The world may know when the Democrats begin

Roosevelt probably told Farley he would take a
third term if the Democrats feel he is the only man
who has good chance of defeating the COP nominee

Is it advisable to "change horses in the middle of
