All the factors that make for strength
and long life are still present plus
such further advances as all-coil springs,
Domitc pistons that squeeze more good
from gasoline, Compound Carburetiont
that spells peak economy with unn
matched reserve power.
There's more comfort, more conven-
icncc, more beauty, more value in these
- models.
But what counts is that they're still
Bucks - tough, rugged and dependable.
Take look at what your next car is
likely to be up against and ask yourself
if that isn't the kind of car it's smart to
buy right now.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
PRES. ROOSEVELT

Grand Rapids, Mich.-In his Labor
Day address here, President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor paid high tribue to President
Roosevelt for his efforts in behalf of
the workers. Mr.. Green said:
81 would be remiss in my duty as
president of the American Federation
of Labor if I were to neglect to ack-
nowledge the cooperation and help
which the labor movement has re-
ceived from our government through
President Roosevelt and his admins
tration. The President warned us at
the inception Of the defense program
that sacrifices would have to be made
by labor, along with capital and in
dustry, but at the same time he prom
ised that the economic, social and
legislative gains made by organized
labor and the democratic rights Of
the workers would not be scuttled in
the process.
President Roosevelt has kept his
word. The workers of America have
kept their faith in him and he has

METAL TRADES
URGE. SPEED IN
SHIPBUILDINC

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Fol-
lowing close on President Roosevelt's
plea for increased production in de-
fense industries, the Metal Trades De-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor urged redoubled efforts by
shipbuilding workers and manage
ments to produce speedily "ships. ships
and more ships"
In it's official bulletin for September,
the Metal Trades Department de-
clared:
CAT this time we wish to call to the
attention of all who have our coun-
try's interest at heart the need for
skilled mechanics to offer their serv-
ices to the shipbuilding industry"
1t was explained that the depart
ment is conducting drive to obtain
greater supply of skilled workers
for jobs in shipyards. The bulletin
added:
"It is to you men--whether exec
utives, skilled mechanics or laborers-
that our country is looking for the
production of ships which we very
sorely need. Our country is calling
today for the delivery of ships, ships
and more ships and it is up to all of
us to heed that CALL"
The bulletin pointed out that the
Metal Trades Department as far back
as 1923 adopted resolutions in conven-
tion demanding that the United States
Navy be built up to full treaty limits
and has ever since conducted cam
paign for expansion of the American
Navy and merchant marine.
Commenting on the "almost mirac-
ulous" growth and expansion of the
American shipbuilding industry in the
last few years, the bulletin declared
that the United States now is the
worlds outstanding nation in shipping
and shipbuilding.
The Metal Trades Department mi
tiated and participated in the negotia-
tion of regional stabilization agree
ments in the shipbuilding industry,
establishing basic working standards
and voluntarily renouncing strikes or
lockouts in favor of mediation and ar
bitration. The department has an al
most perfect record in enforcing this
no-strike policy, it was said at A. F.
of L. headquarters here.

THE REPRESENTATIVE
PRINCIPLE

The nation will get national unity
and total effort for defense only when
all groups feel they are part of the
national effort and share the respon-
sibility for achievements.
Free men can grow strong through
voluntary sacrifice, but the will to do
is weakened by sacrifices imposed by
others.
There is one simple method for
enabling the masses to share effect
lively in national undertakings - that
of representation. Representation is
the basis for confidence and good will
1t is the way to spread responsibility
for results over the rank and file and
arouse the will to carry on.
The American labor movement is
made up of workers who are loyal
citizens and who value their precious

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

mocracy for China both during and
after the war, thus fastening the
realization of DR.. Suns plans for a
modern China.
The organizers of the Indusco have
established three zones of industry.
They are: l. The rear zone. 2. The
middle zone stretching from Kansu in
the northwest in huge arc round the
fighting line to Fukien in the south
east. 3. The zone of guerrilla indus
try" in the fighting areas and even
behind Japanese lines.
Following the planning stage, the
"bib offensive" set in, and in the course
of less than year more than 1000
industrial cooperative societies were
organized. The outstanding character
istic of this stage of development was
speed-speed in rescuing machinery
and other tools of production from
areas threatened with imminent inva-
sion, and speed in giving refugees,
particularly skilled workers, produc-
tive employment.
The stage of consolidation calls for
the reorganization or combination of
many co-operatives. The number of
co-operatives in a given locality may
be reduced, but the size and quality
of the membership as well as their
efficiency is improved by consolidation.
As far as guerrilla industry" is
concerned, the Indusco is at it's best
in southeast Shansi where it's units
operate in hit-and-run manner close
to or behind enemy positions. "Stay
as long as possible" is the policy
adopted by the industrial co-operatives
which keep their machinery busy even
to the accompaniment of gunfire.
Often the members have to move
bag and baggage when their plants
are threatened by military engage
ments. Frequently they have to trek
across hills with their equipment, raw
materials, and personal belongings.

UNFAIR TAXATION

The pending tax bill providing for
taxation of incomes as low as $3.50
goes too far, in the opinion Of many.
1t places an unjust burden on those
earning less than SIS week. 1t acts
to lower living standards already at
bare subsistence levels and can hardly
fail to be detrimental to the third of
the population described by President
Roosevelt as 'ill housed, i'll clothed,
i'll fed"
The American Federation of Labor
Executive Council declared last May:
''The main burden of taxation is on
the wage Garner already. 1t would be
economic folly to increase this load. :"
1t seems to this paper that taxation
of $3.50 incomes is uncalled for and
comes under the head of the economic
folly" denounced by the A. F. of L.

All over Free China today, and to
some extent even behind the Japanese
lines, are found the familiar signs of
red triangle containing two Chinese
characters: kung no. These signs refer
to the Chinese Industrial Co-opera-
tives, or the Indusco, movement first
launched in the fall of 1888 in Hankow
under the chief sponsorship of DR.. H.
H. Kung, Minister of Finance.
Objectives of the Chinese Industrial
Co-operatives are to assist in military
and economic resistance to aggression
by the production of daily necessities;
to help in national reconstruction by
the establishment of sound co-opera-
tive basis for small industries scat
tered throughout China; and to hasten
the full realization of DIR. Sun Yat-
sens Principle of Peoples Livelihood.
The development of the Indusco can
be divided into three stages, namely,
the planning stage, the big offensive,
and consolidation. BY the spring of
1888 japanese big guns and incendiary
bombs had destroyed 80 per cent of
Chinese industries, and there ware
thousands of destitute, homeless
people, among whom large number
of skilled workers were compelled to
lie idle in refugee camps.
The best way to meet the situation
was to found flexible, decentralized,
small industries, it was reasoned.
Through such an industrial movement,
not only could skilled Chinese workers
in refugee camps be prevented from
working for the Japanese but they
could be induced to move into the
hinterland Of China to become self
supporting and self-respecting citizens
to man the new economic bulwark
against the japanese invasion.
The most far-reaching significance
of the Indusco lies in the belief that
such movement can do much to lay

This Mexico is strange place.
There are many Mexicos. There is
Mexico City, one Of the most fascinat-

Mexico of Tampico and its oil. There
is the Mexico of the northern desert
and of the northern plains-the Mexico
of the hot and humid south. There is
the suave and cultural Mexico of the
educated Spanish descent population
and the Mexico of the illiterate Indian
who will hide from your camera. And
in some sections there is still the

A favorite question is about food.

or Mexican. Those who are disap-

Those who like to theorize about
