TOXIC, Jan. 27.-Foreign Min
lister Yosuke Matsuoka was reported
yesterday to have declared that an
American policy of regarding China
'as her first line of defense" stood
in the way of developing friendly
relations" between the United States
and Japan.
Domei, Japanese news agency,
quoted the foreign minister as tes-
tifying before a Diet budget COM
mittee that:
so far as America maintains her
policy of regarding China, instead
of the Eastern Pacific, as her first
line of defense, the development Of
friendly relations between Japan
and the United States will remain
! an idle dream"
Domei said Matsuoka described
United States Secretary of State
Cordell Hull'S recent statement on
the Manchurian incident as such
an obvious distortion of the fact
that it will not bear the barest
scrutiny"
Mr.. Hull told the House Foreign
Affairs Committee January IS that
the first step toward "tyrannical
Rule" was taken in the Far East in
1881 with the forceful occupation of
Manchuria in contravention of the
provisions of the nine-power treaty
and of the Kellogg BRAND pact"
Matsuoka was said TO have repeat
ed wish for friendship with the
United States, but declared it must
be based on sympathetic under
standing of each others policy"
Domei said Admiral Koshiro DIX
ava. minister of the navy, told the
Budget Committee that current
budget estimates had been prepared
with consideration for American
naval expansion

MIR. Reiners. This bill has the back
ing of the manufacturers and if it
would pass and become law, it would
be just too bad for the workers in
times of unemployment.
The official correspondent for Local
Union No. 1876 has a printed copy of
these two bills if anyone care to read
them. We are told by the delegates
who attended this hearing that the
Clay Workers Association of Rose
vile did not have representatives at
this hearing. We, the members of
Local 1876, would like to say to the
workers in this district, that if the
c. w. A. of Roseville could have a
copy of Senate Bill No. 221 read in
one of their meetings they would see
for themselves what the manufactur-
ers would like to have law, especially
when it is the workers bread and
butter that is at stake. In other
words, the manufacturers are trying
to ammend sixteen sections of the
present Unemployment Insurance Law.
The bill backed by labor is trying to
amend eight sections of present law.
This local meets the first and third
Wednesday of each month at 7 D. m.
and we always welcome any group of
workers from this district. | am told
by the officials that they will cooper
ate with the workers whenever they
desire an open meeting to discuss
with them the fundamental principles
of union for the pottery workers in
Roseville. | am told that some of
the workers are having trouble Sc
curing meeting place in our little
| Villape,-O. c., 1876.

aVer, they fail in their full duty when
hey do not point out that it is only
thc abuses they attack, not the idea
and fundamental right of organization
for mutual support.
"a union organization fails in its
full duty when it loses the ideal which
lies back Of all unionization. This
IDEAL, it seems to me, is an unsclfSh
interest in those who are not as
strong as others in their ability to
defend themselves and in willing
ness to suffer to obtain for others the
rights you may have already achieved
for yourself.
81 do not believe that every man
and woman should be forced to join
union. | do believe the right to
explain the principles lying back of
labor unions should be safcguarded
that every workman should be free to
listen to the plea of organization
without fear of hndrance or of evil
circumstances, and that he should
have the right to join with his fel-
lows in union if he feels it will help
others and, incidentally, himself"

to the plan on the following grounds,
Mr.. Bates stated:
l. 1t promotes jerry building and
by placing no restriction on the sale
price or rent charges, makes it pos
sible for the speculative builder to
take advantage Of housing shortages
and bulk defense workers by charging
excessive prices or exorbitant rents.
2. While the Government takes all
risk out of speculative building in
defense areas by its guarantee, it per-
mits increased interest rates and thus
adds incentive to profteering.
8. 1t provides no plan to take care
of the immediate and acute housing
shortages but leaves the operation of
the defense housing program to the
initiative and whim of the speculative
builder in the situations in which the
builder finds prospects for excessive
profits attractive.
q. The bill provides no incentives
for legitimate private enterprise in
the home building field, which is al
ready given ample protection under
the present FILA program, but mere
ly offers incentives for the building
speculator to come into the defense
housing field
5. 1t would serve to undermine home
ownership by taking advantage of the
temporary employment of defense
workers and by inducing these work
ers to attempt to acquire homes where
such attempt is certain to end in de-
fault on payments, eviction, and the
loss of the workers equity in the
property he had believed to be his.
6. 1t fails to provide minimum
standards of sound construction and
durability and minimum wage stand.

7. At the end of the emergency the

is bound to depress real estate values

Federal Government to take the loss
and take over all distress housing
built during the emergency boom.

that "this conference recommends to
organized labor throughout the coun-

What Makes Rug Quality

First think to ask when you buy a
rug is whether it is all wool. But the
amount of wool in the rug is not the
only thing that decides rug quality.
Ask whether the wool in the rug is
worsted or plain. If it is worsted,
chances are that the price tag of the
.ug is high. Worsted rugs look well
md wear we'll for those who can af-
ford to buy them.
Examine the pile Of the rug-the
surface formed by hundreds and hun
lreds of little tufts Of wool If these
ire sparsely placed, or are thin and
;leazy, the rug will not wear well.
The pile is fastened to the found
,tion by jute or cotton yarns called
filing These add to the frmness of
he backing. The more firm and
lexible the rug back, the tighter and
better woven these filling yarns are.
AS a test take the back of the rug
irmly in your hands, pull it, examine
closely to see if the firmness comes
rom tightly woven yarns or merely
from sizing or artificial backing put
nto the rug to make up for weak,
oose weave. If the rug back feels
;leazy or thin, or if it lacks firmness
md an elastic kind Of pliability, the
odds are against it's being a high
luadty rug.
Count the number of tufts in a
square inch of pile. This is a good
way to tell the closeness, and conse-
,uently the durability Of the backing
construction.
Notice the height Of the pile of
lifferent kinds of rugs. Other things
being equal, the higher the pile of
he rug, the longer it will wear.
Is the rug artifically treated with
chemicals to impart a luster to
simulate Orientals or antique rugs
juch treatment may add to the beauty
If the rug, but it may also result in
lamage to wool fibers, weakening
hem, and lowering their durability
Methods of treating rugs to give them
ulster have been developed to mini
nize this damage.
Finally, remember that 'broadloom
IN the label is no index to quality
All that it means is that the rug has
)een woven on broad loom-as wide
IS Is feet-and is seamless.
