HERE'S AN EXCERPT of an interest
ing talk made by Public Relations Off
Ger Neal Brewers at a recent meeting,
which I consider worthy of publication:
"The question Of joining the Mid
Western Federation, brought up at a
recent meeting, seemed to meet with OPP
position. One of the reasons, I believe
was that few knew the purpose of the
move.
"The 46'rs at present is the largest
Syrian-American clubs in Southern Cal
ifornia. This in itself is a very important
fact. You must realize the important
part you and your fellow members play
in building Syrian prestige. Never be-
fore have we had a chance offered us to
become organized with such wonderful
possibilities. What are these possibili-
ties? Well, here are some in a nut shell:
SHOULD we join the Mid-W Western Fed
Grafton we would have a voice in ma
tional affairs. This will put the 46'rs in
the position to Spearhead a Western Fed
Grafton. The Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce will only be too glad to help
us to hold a national ~get-together right
here in Hollywood whenever we desire.
A national meeting held here would not
only bring Syrians from all over the
country to our town, but practically
build us our club house which we plan,
and would make the 46'rs one of the
strongest Syrian organizations in our
country today.
1T has been said that we are not
ready to make this move. When, fellow
members, will we be ready? The time
is now. We've got this club rolling. Now
keep it moving! We have already won
recognition in the city. Our constitution
has been made elaborate and complete.
We have functioned successfully in all
our ventures and will no doubt continue
to do SO in the future. So, why not go
ahead"

Republicans Count
$50 Jobs al Capitol
In Patronage Hunt
By, the Assoeiofed Press

~
Eager Republicans count about $50
congressional jobs for the patronage
broom they expect to WELD in jan
.uary but they have found that the
Democrats kept no detailed inyen-
tory during their 16 years of house,
akeeping.
! ''We don't know yet just what all
there is, but we are going to find
out" Representative Brown. Re-
publican, of Ohio told reporter.
= Representative Martin. Republic
can. of Massachusetts,, who will be
Speaker of the new House, is waiting
for Representative O'Neal, Demo-
.crat, of Kentucky, chairman of the
House Patronage Committee, to turn
over the keys.
They are welcome to all of them,
Mr.. O'Neal commented. Patronage
can be a big headache.
= Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire has called for de-
tailed personnel reports from all
offices under Senate Jurisdiction.
800 Jobs in House.
A survey of the House side of the
Capitol turned up about 900 jobs
or maybe little less" according to
estimates by veteran employees. The
combing ordered by Senator Bridges
is expected to yield about $50 more.
The patronage committee from
time to time has removed jobs from
the patronage slist. This has been
done on the basis of informal under
standings with officers of the House,
such as the clerk, sergeant at arms
and doorkeeper.
However, Republicans were not
parties to these understandings.
They will select their own officers
when the Eightieth Congress con-
venes, and can make other under
standings If they choose. There
is abundant precedent for their
taking every job in the place.
1881 Housecleaning Cited.
when the Democrats got con-
troll in 1881 they took almost every
thing in sight" said one House en-
ploye who survived that overturn.
"They even replaced telephone oper-
ators until they found out that
wasn't such a good idea"
The choicest jobs are those of
clerks of the House and Senate and
sergeant at arms of both. These
will pay $4,000 year in the next
Congress. After these comes the
House doorkeeper, who will receive
$4,000.
Under the top jobs are clerks OF
all types, bookkeepers, postmasters,
parliamentarians, committee staffs,
Capitol police, elevator operators,
stenographers. page boys. laborers
and others. The pay scales down to
$1,780.
Republican policy on the appor-
tioning of jobs will not be set until
party meetings after the next ses-
sion begins.

Just as the United States has

Because of its policy of destruction

that role Even had Japan attain

not have lasted very long, for
imperialism will not thrive in
democratic countries. 1t will be
decades before additionally i'm

cratic ways of life. Democracy is

China continues to exist under
two distinct political PHILOSOPHERS
- one feudalistic, the other demo

leadership. Likewise, India where
imperialism still flourishes, where
princes and maharajjajhs still own
a great portion of the country s
resources and control the govern
ment, the progress of democratic
forces is greatly impeded. The
Labor Government of England
which was expected to accelerate
the independence movement in
India is obviously not making any
progress in trat direction. The
foreign and domestic intrigues in
Iran as we'll as in Palestine mini
mize the possibility for either of
those countries to toxic the lead.
Therefore, the Philippines which
for over forty years has been
schooled in the art of democracy,
which proved in this war that any
power which denies liberty and
freedom to its people is misfit
leader among nations, and because
of te lessons acquired from the
examples set by the United States
in the field of diplomatic and
consular practice, the Philippines
assumes the great role of leader
in the East and in the Far East.
