LADY PICKET

the theory OF picketing.
This lady declared grievance If she
had iuS} complaint, the courts afford
remedy. She however. chose to be the
Judge of h2r own case and to appeal to
force Ia secure her objective In this
situation, She was attempting to employ
the fore Of public opinion.
Yet, there is small difference between
her effort and any other kind of picket
ing. All picketing is an appeal to force
Its purpose is to compel an opponent to
surrender 4 point at issue. of which the
picket assumes to be the sole judge.
The picket of an individual plant seeks
to compel the employer to do what the
employer. under the law, is not obligated
to do. Otherwise there would be no
point in picketing.
Pcketing. then, appeals to force, either
Of public opinion or the goon squad. 1t
is in lis method. Il kind of blackmail that
the victim must endure because custom
and mWiS2 law permit it. Essentially,
it suggests that the picket has no remedy

means other than law
Picketing has achieved certain sane

Of labor. It has escaped some that the
rights Of no one are advanced by infring-

Pinning Down the Propaganda

Back in 1898. remembering the
DAYS preceding entrance into World
War I, the United States passed
q law requiring the registration
with the state Department of
AGENTS of foreign governments who
proposed to spread propaganda
here.
Some people had oyer!enthus-
iaetic expectations o. what such a
law would do. They thought it
would halt all foreign propaganda.
Naturally it didn't. 1t was never
intended to Nevertheless it was
seryiccablc rs a guide to who was
who. and it did furnish a hook Oh
which to catch a few propagan-
distS who thought to ignore it, 1t
accomplished something of its pur-
pose and it did some good.
Now it is proposed by Senator
Mcclellan of Tennessee to tighten
up the act and extend it. He would
require such propagandists not only
to register. but to label plainly all
propaganda. so that those who re-
cciye it would be able to evaluatc
j. properly. He would also extend
the law to apply to foreign propa-
gandists using this country as
base lor sending propaganda into
ether American countries. That last

CAREY MeWlLLIAMS CLEARS
UP A DARK MYSTERY

If you wait long enough, whatever
dark-skinned gentry there may be IN
whatever woodpile you have will pop up
for air.
SO it was with CALIFORNIA; great Mex
lean importation" mystery.
For weeks practically everybody in
California who was the least bit inter
ested was trying to find out who started
reports that agricultural interests IN
the state had asked for importation Of
$4,000 Mexican field laborcrs from Mex
leo to harvest current perishable crops.
Of almost as much interest WAS another
question: who were the "agricultural
interests?
So great was the hue and cry that the
mysterious person who had started TIN
story must have retreated farther into
the recesses of his woodpile. while the
fact-hounds discovered that there had
been no request, official or unofficial.
from any California farm organization
for the importation of any Mexican Ia
borerS. The records of state and federal
agencies were scanned in vain Tor any
document, authored by any California
organization, even suggesting that MeNl-
can labor be imported en- masse to the
states harvest fields.
The nearest thing to such request
was the action Of an Arizona group ask
ing for a survey of the possibilities 20
determine if importation of field labor
would be necessary in that state, and II
it were necessary, whether it would be
possible. But Arizona, it need hardly be
pointed out, is not California.
One would think the revelation of the
facts would have silenced the gentlemen
who, obviously, were out to discredlt Cal
iforna agricultural employers But Just
this week the woodpile heaved mighty
heave, seemed to mutter angry sounds,
and 10. there was Carey McWlIllamS.
Not only did Governor Olson's director
of the state division of immigration and
housing repeat the old libel, but he de
clared specifically that it was the Cali
fornia Farm Bureau Federation which
had requested the importation OF the
Mexican laborers. And, said Mr.. McNll-
liams. the farm bureau had asked TOR
the laborers to work in the harvest fields
of california, Arizona. Colorado and
New Mexico" Quite bit of territory
for one states farm bureau to cover,
isn't it?
Mr.. McWiliams has never been noted
as stickler for fact but his new declar-
alton was noteworthy for one thing TINS
time he can claim not even the shadow OF
a fact to hide behind.

LICENSES

The fact that the house banking com
mittee did not even attempt to lncludc
newspapers and farmers under the HcenS-
ing provision it wrote back into the price
control bill this week should serve as a
first-rate warning to Americans as d
whole that there is dynamite IN the pro
posed licensing system for every concep-
ton of American democracy.
Newspaper and farmers were exempt
ed, obviously. because the administrator
was hopeful that these exemptions would
cause less careful scrutiny Of the pro
posed provision. The contrary should be
true, in the face Of a palpable attempt to
soft pedal a dangerous experiment
ANY government with the power to
license individual business firms has th@
right that goes hand in hand with the
licensing power-the right to close them
down entirely without hearing, by the
simple expedient Of denying a license.
1t is as simple as that-and as dangerous.
We want no licensing of private enter
prise by political hirelings.

His Interest
South Seas,
Not Horses
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Hav-
ing left their baby with his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Emer-
son, in Palm Beach, the young
George w. Vanderbilts soon will
be off on one of their nautical
journeys to little visited ports.
Since their marriage the Van
derbilts have spent many
months exploring darkest
Africa, on trips into the interior
of Asia and cruising to roman
tic islands in the Pacific.
This time they expect TO go to
the South Sea Islands in their
yacht and. world conditions per-
hitting, expect to be gone for
seven months.
George and Lucille planned
their trip weeks and weeks ago
before conditions in the Pacific
looked as grave as they seem to
be today, and for a time there
was some talk of them calling
off the cruise. One who should
know tells me they've talked it
all over and feel they can make
the trip with safety.
Unlike his brother, Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. George has
no interest in horses. And while
Alfred spends his money on his
stable. George exchanges his
Vanderbilt SS$SS for glimpses
of the out-of-way places of the
world.
There is nothing he and Lu-
ellie like better than to travel
and. come TO think Of it, they
were both travelling" when
they first met-on a cruise ship
headed for the same South Sea
islands that are now their goal.
There's no chi-chi about the
young George Vanderbilts. They
are pleasant. happy and
healthy young couple with a
passion for going places"

state. gosSips in the hunting set
are wondering if she will go into

II will be remembered she has

one time there was talk of her
making a Western.
