COMMUNICATED
LOOK OUT FOR THEM!

LOOh OUI ron A
Dear Sir:
Now that the war in Finland has oeen
fought, the Communists are also plan
ming to collect donations in the name
of the Finnish war sufferers. Inc
cunning Communists evidently thlnK
they are going to defraud the American
public by posing as benefactors OF the
suffering Firms.
Use of caution before contributing
will prevent donations from rolling into
the Golfers of racketeers.
The Communists in this country
represent no one in Finland; their or
ganization in that country has been out
lawed long ago. Neither do they repre-
sent the Films in the areas ceded to
Russia because no Firms remain IN
those areas. Therefore, everything col
lected here for the poor suffering
Firms by the Communists would remain
in the pockets of Moscow's American
agents
When approached by a solicitor
claiming to represent a "Relief" Or
ganization, you can do a good turn to
the legitimate Finnish relief organiza-
tions by inquiring from the solicitor as
to the sponsors of his plan. If he can
not identify himself or his organization
you have saved your money.
The average person is not familiar
with the clever tactics of the Com
munists, although they have been ex-
posed time and again. No matter what
the popular cause, they have used it
for furthering their own ends.
The Finnish cause is their latest
eScapade.

OLIVER CHANGE
Deep ROOTED
Nav be Traceable to Several
Factors; Company Silent
on New Policy.

Conditions underlying the sale of iron
ore by the Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany to the Ford Motor company, and
the offer to make sales contracts with
others, may be deep-rooted and may
be a combination of several factors,
Skillings' Mining Review states in a
discussion of the sale.
Roots of the decision doubtlessly lie
deeper than many suspect, the mag
azine says, and surmises that the Steel
corporation may have decided that it
cannot afford to pay the carrying
charges necessary to conserve this ore
for its own use, theory that was adj
vaned by one Ely mining man not
connected with the Oliver as soon as
the sale was announced.
He was of the opinion that the
Oliver intended to liquidate some of its
reserve holdings in order to get out
from under a carrying charge that it
had been absorbing for years.
The compeultlon that Lake Superior
iron ore has had to contend with,
was underlined by the magazine.
Beginning about 1870" it states,
there were two factors which began to
operate to minimize the strength of the
position of Lake Superior iron ore.
One was the growing Importance of
the consumption of iron and steel
scrap, and the other was that the tax
collector began shearing the iron ore
sheep just little closer on the average
each year. Other domestic iron ores,
and foreign iron ores, became increas-
ingly competitive, directly or in
directly"
In 1910, 20 per cent of the metallic
iron of the U. S. came from purchased
scrap while in 1886, 40 per cent came
from this course. Scrap is the greatest
competitor of iron ore, the magazine
states.
A strong current of virgin iron, how
ever, must flow into the industry at all
times to preserve the integrity of
steel generally, Skillings' continues.
The increasing problem of alloys will
act as check on steel scraps.
The monopoly committee investigation
of the iron ore industry late in 1899
may be another reason for the change
in the Oliver policy, the publication
states. The committee implied that the
price of Lake Superior iron ore was
too high.
In any event, it continues, practically
all of the explaining of the Oliver
policy has been done by persons other
than the organization itself, which has
made no attempt to throw any light on
the situation.

ment. What the President of the
United States says or does in the
name of the American Govern
ment in these matters Of foreign
policy is not the political property
of any person in Office. If need only
to be recalled how promptly and
vigorously William Howard Taft,
Republican President, denounced
the Cars government when Jews
were denied passports into Russia
about 30 years ago to realize that
friendship for the oppressed is not
the tradition of any one party, but
a national tradition. Members of
foreign-born groups need to cast
their ballots in the direction of
those leaders who will bring us eco
nomic prosperity and who will do
away with class warfare, and there
will be little heard again Of racial
or nationality prejudices or the an
tagonisms which grow out of in
tolerant majoritieS when there
aren't enough jobs to go around or
when imitation permits the weak to
be exploited. In long look ahead,
a vote for sound American eco
nomic system is an American argu-
ment that fits all groups whether
or not of foreign extraction and it
is a much more logical basis for
casting a vote than is the special
interest of any group.

Washington Observations
Mobilization Of U. S. Man Power Expected
To Make Deep Impression on Axis

the Ohio Senator, a seasoned cam
paign trouper in her own right, de-
clared that Americans are for
tunate to be able to change horses
in the middle Of the stream-from
one that is fioundering In the mire
OF dictatorial tendencies to one that
will carry us safely to the firm foot
ing Of democracy" Many G. o. P.
spellbinders are making whoopee
with the Willkie query: who got
us into midstream, anyhow" On
Republican platforms, too, emphasis
is being laid on the fact that Brit
ain, in the midst of war. didn't hesi-

Trade With Britain.
When Lord Lothian, British AM
bassador in Washington, reports to
his superiors in London this week,
he'll be able to submit some i'm
pressive figures about the United
States foreign commerce In Au-
gust some s225 100000. or nearly 65
per cent of our total exports, went
to British Empire countries. more
than half of it to Britain itself. The
shipments represented four times
our sales to all Latin America. Au-
thorities expect British purchases
steadily to increase as time goes
on. No official figures are available,
but it's reported that total orders
placed here by the British Pur-
chasing Commission reached the
first billion dollars early in May
and the second billion about Sep
tember. l.
On the strength of this trend, eS-
Inmates are that by next summer
the British Empire may be taking
$3l5, 100000 worth of American
goods monthly. or roundly 10 per
cent Of our total probable exports
at that time. According to Federal
Reserve figures cited by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, the
British Empire. when war broke
out in 1899, had available liquid
dollar assets and gold of about S.
600 100000. Britain's export trade,
despite the war. is being generally
maintained-a tribute to her un-
challengeable sea power.
