apportion the appropriation to ALL

the plaintiffs are supported by an
opinion of the attorney general rem

Voicing approval and support for
the Marcantonio anti-discrimination
bill at hearings before the house ju-

educational and legislative director of
the American Committee for Protec-

to enact legislation to end the wide
spread discrimination in employment
against Americans of foreign birth
and their native-born American chill

The Marcantonio bill, HR 1894,
would prohibit discrimination against
persons employed or seeking employ

Green urged, when testifying in sup
port of the bill, that provisions be
included giving similar protection to
naturalized citizens and non-citizens.

ANOTHER OUT
FOR EXCESS
WHEAT CROP
Department Announces An
other Manner in Which Pen
atty on Excess Wheat Pro-
dIuced This Year May Be
Avoided.

Evidently disturbed by the objec-
lions raised by farmers all over the
country to imposition of the penalty
placed on "hot wheat" the department
of agriculture has, in a ruling issued
during the past week provided another
"out" for the farmers to avoid paying
the penalty on wheat produced on
acreage in excess of the quota allot-
ted.
The new ruling is to the effect that
a farmer having excess wheat may
avoid the penalty by producing his
acreage on the basis of the normal
yield in an amount which with
the normal yield per acre will equal
the number of bushels of the excess.
Thus, in the case Of one with an allot-
ment of a quota of 100 acres with
normal yield of 10 bushels per acre,
and he had produced 200 bushels Of
excess wheat, he may sell his excess
wheat without penalty this fall after
the 1912 planting provided he reduces
his allotted acreage by 20 acres, or
plants only 80 acres.

They say that blood runs thicker

something that runs thicker than
blood-and that something is class in

1t certainly was class interest as
AGAINST the nations interest that in
duced Walter D. Fuller, president Of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, to issue statement that there
was no shortage of aluminium for de-
Tense needs just as the country's
housewives, in spirit of patriotism,
we're getting ready to turn In their
badly needed aluminium pots and pans
to aid Uncle Sans defense effort.
This unpatriotic statement undoubted-
ly was to divert the thoughts of the
housewives from what Secretary Ickes
calls the "recalcitrance" of the Alum
mum Company of America-thoughts
that couldn't possibly be doing that
monopolistic enterprise any good.
Mr.. Fuller knows-every child in
the country knows-that there is a
shortage of aluminium for defense
needs. And he also knows-as most
people are beginning to know-that
the monopolistic practices of the
Aluminium Company Of America in
keeping production of aluminium down
and prices up, are directly responsible
for this shortage. Thus, even though
he knew that he would be doing ire

scrap collection campaign, Fuller at
