Ito War on Beetle

The Japanese beetles are back in
full force this year, and it's high time
for Washington homeowners to take
to counter offensive, according to
the Agriculture Department.
L. D. Christensen, insect expert at
the department, today urged citizens
to spray shrubs and gardens with
DDT to protect them from the raw
aging beetles.
Last year was a pretty heavy year
for damage, and it looks as il dam
age will be just as great this sum-
mer," he declared. Roses and shade
trees are especially susceptible, he
pointed out.
Downtown park areas already are
relatively secure from the invaders,
he said, because they have been
treated with milky disease spore
DUST" bacterial powder which is
applied to the soil and kills grass
eating beetles.
The beetles still are spreading,
despite experimentation with coun-
ter-measures, Mr.. Christensen ad-
mitted. They now cover about 10000

Bill

Misunderstanding CiO came
out strongly In opposition to the Mundt

editorial in the weekly CLIO NEWS
called the measn "a legislative mon.

"our chief concern, frankly, 10
over the effects the measure would
have on civil rights and the manner
in which Il could be used unfairly
against labor unions and other lib

listed three principal objections:

The Economy Of

CONTINUED from Page One)
General Marshall should remember,
from the scant Economics course
at the Virginia Military institute,
that his forces, fighting in China,
Greece, Italy. Turkey, present an
exact parallel to the armies Of
Philip II Of Spain, forcing, by the
Spanish lnquisition. the Mercantile
Theory in the name Of religion Of
the Dutch Republic.
The vast Empire of Philip II broke
down in the pursuit of that plan. The
old. well-known cancer is destroying
the body polite Of America. The
Witch Hunting in Washington, the
surrender Of our government to the
Military powers. the upkeep of large
standing armies and navies, both or
ocean and in the air, are but off
shoots OF, supports Of, the Mercantile
Theory.
1t Is in vain to make strong the
limbs Of a human being, OF a state
when cancer is spreading through the

PRICE REDUCTION
SWInDLE EXPOSED

The major industrial corporations
are putting over a gigantic swindle
on the public. After raising prices
steadily since the end Of OPA, these
corporations have announced minor
reductions in prices and are using
these to deny their employees badly
needed wage increases.
The US steel Corporation increased
prices % million dollars early in 1913
in the face Of the highest profits in
its history. II has now reduced its
prices Is. million dollars for a net in
crease in prices OF 3 million dollars
in l9iS wall Street Journal. April
%, l94S). Even the so-called price
cut Of % million dollars is about a
one percent cut in prices.
In March. 1o4S the General Electric
Company announced a price reduction
OF 10 million dollars. equal to less
than one percent Of sales.
The Westinghouse Electric Corpor.
alton followed suit by announcing re
auctions of 81 million dollars which
amounted to less than u Of ore per
cent Of the sales.
II all the corporations were to
match the recent price reductions OF
the above corporations, every work
er would save less than 500 a year.
This compares with the S616 a year
workers have lost in purchasing
power since January 1915. CBased
on the. u. S. Department of Labor
Statistics on weekly earnings and
prices).
Substantial price cuts and wage in
creases can be made out of present
enormous profits. On the basis OF
U. S. Department of Commerce data
all corporations could reduce prices
BY 10 per cent-not only by one pei
cent--increaso wages by 10 per cent
and still make profits greater than the
5 billion dollar ret they took in 1889
