MARCH 3, 1932 MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS The popular’ bn ht warm days of the past week are the benches in front of the bank and Sloan’s resturant. Here daily may be ■een and heard, fishermen, farmer* and laboring men, soaking up the warmth of the sun and spinning yarns. The sun brings them out. In the post office window there is a fine tomato plant growing in a box at the rate of about an inch a day, according to the owner, Mrs. Snepp. The plant is in blossom and Mrs. Snepp claims that she is going to have some early ripe tomatoes that she hopes will be perfect. Some more of the sun’s doing. People are beginning to feel like spring at this early season, for there are more than the usual indications that winter is about over. Reports have also cope in about seeing ’ robins two weeks ago, and Matty Katxer claims to have picked some violets while raking the yard at Ihe Tavern last week end. If this is not enough proof that there is h gradual quickening of life in this siction of Indiana, we have seen maple sap being collected and boiled ifflt<> sjiup. farmers - working in their shiit sleeves, out in the fields,'»f knee »r< w> being burnt. Wild straw'be ry , plants growing and have heard frogs bvlIbwing their love songs. f The fruit buds of Tire red maple? the white elm and the red elm . are swollen and ready to burst into bloom, in fact the flowers of the red maple have been, in a state of arrested development all wjinter, for . on some trees the red stamens have » been exposed to the weather since November without any ill effects. But long time residents say they’ve seen heavy snow storms as lute at April 7. QMerchants of Syracuse have been sending in their checks fob payment of this year’s store taxi with some grumbling For the registration fee of 50 cents is being collected again, ijr* -spite of the fact that most retailers thought that only lone .registration fee was to be collected, which was taken when the f|rsl tax was paid a few weeks ago. N'ow it seems as if evejy year another registration fee Will be collected along with the tax. The tax; St] pay someone to write his name every) time he pays his tax. Os course the taxpayer has paid this always, but never so directly- , | : Hard times are over,’judging from what live stock and implements brought at the Norris public sale, remarked one man who attended. But a lot of that stuff was bought with notes payable in seven months not cash. That makes a difference. ■ in l ■ —o-——————— . THANKS! March came in like a Elon at the Journal office.

Warsaw last Thursday evening where they attended the meeting of 35 representatives of the 11 Jet White Groceterias. The meeting was a banquet held at the Cook cafeteria, and the interest of the meeting centered on the demonstration of the Dole Pineapple Co.’s canned pineapple. Mrs. M. M. Smith was called to East Chicago, last Thursday by the serious illness of her sister. Miss Mary Miles. Miss Miles was taken to the hospital in Hammond, and her mother, Mrs. Hanorah Miles, and Mrs. Smith are staying at the home of E. W, Miles so that they can be near the patient in the hospital. She has pneumonia. IF “OLD HICKORY” HAD BREN THERE! By Geo. B. Lock wood. In the ten years ending with 1929 our total exports to all the world amounted in value to $49,609,677,114. During the same period the amount of money Americans sent and spent abroad was over 60,000,000,000. This included foreign investments and loans, debt funding settlements, gifts ocean freight bills, tourist expenses and remittances. Exports during the World War were more than covered by our direct expenditures, much of them spent abroad, all a contribution to foreign interests. America paid for much of our exports to Europe by loans which w-e are now Jtold will not be paid. The EbYopean nations which tell us they cannot pay the cut-in-two debts owed our government and people have already collected nine million dollars from Germany. The allies are trying to collect ten billion more. Besides, the allies received from Germany vast areas in Europe, Asia, Africa'and the islands of the sea. We asked and got nothing. What is the value of Alsace-Lorraine to J)rance?At the price of how many bullions would France cede these “lost provinces” to Germany, or any Other nation? Having driven a big and boasted trade with Europe on our own money and propped up prosperity oh that basis, settlement day has now arrived for our foreign adventures beginhing in 1917. That is all our depression and unemployment means, American prosperity has riot been destroyed from within. It has been wrecked from without, with help from within. | Yet national leaders no less distinguished that John W. Davis and Governor James M. Cox complained at a Jackson Day dinner at Washington that the trouble with us is that we did not get far enough into what Premier MacDonald so well described as ‘‘the European mess!” Their prescription for national prosperity is for the United States to keep right on keeping on in European economic and political involvment, and as for what Europe owes us, the thing to do, they say, is to displace more American production, which means more American employment: by more cheap foreign production, to enable Europe to pay what it owes us. Europe vastly increased her production dUfring the fifteen years beginning in 1914 by the introduction of riiass and machine production. During that period wages and standards of living were lowered in Europe, rather than increased. Without lifting her consuming pow-er, Europe vastly inflated her producing power. The result Karl Marx predicted is at hand., With one-fourth America’s per capita consuming power, Europe is smothered in a glut of goods for which she has no outlet at home. This is the result of attempting to base prosperity on foreign trade, in which the effective weapon is a constantly growing cheapness attained by the cheapening of wages and living standards and consequent

destruction of consuming power. Because we doubled wages while Europe was lowering wages, between 1914 and 1927, and did from 92 to 94 per cent of our business at home, we increased mass consuming power until the rapidly widening gap between American and European labor costs began to operate to the injury of oui independent industries and the destruction of employment more than five years ago. The battle put up by the international bankers and industries and by demagogues, prevented Congress from enacting a tariff sufficiently high to bridge this change in living levels. Through intensive propaganda, highly organized and heavily financed, the people have been led to believe that a tariff low er in protective value than any we have had since we becarhe a great industrial nation, is the highest tariff in our history and is responsible for the depression and unemployment directly due to the effort to bring American living j standards to the level of those of Europe through lowering proce levels by European and Asiatic competition. With international financiers and bankers having billions at stake in the attempt to save their European investmenuts at the sacrifice of Americans, it was natural that they should undertake to fool the people about this, and it is not surprising they have been able to do so. But in view of the fact that the people of this country are waking up, it is surprising that seasoned political veterans like Mr. Davis and Mr. Cox, both of whom as presidential candidates went down under an avalanche of disapproval of further European involvements, should again be preaching their American-sacrific-ing gospel. While Messrs. Davis and Cox were proposing this sacrificial program, another presidential aspirant, Senator James A. Reed, was demanding at Kansas City the further razing of our national economic defenses, though standing on the edge of a vast area of the country now prostrated by free trade in oil, with a million Americans deprived of income and employment in eleven nearby slates through the unprofitable price levels fixed by the inrush of an ocean of foreign oil and oil products. Governor Al Smith has a longer head. He did not plead for either poGERMAN REMEDY STOPS 30 YEAR CONSTIPATION “For 30 years Thad a bad stomach and constipation. Souring food from stomach choked me.

litical or economic internationalism or anti-nationalism. He has recently shown some leanings in that direction, but he kept still about it on Jackson Day. Perhaps he recalled the famous letter of Andrew Jackson to Doctor Coleman a Virginia Democrat, who wrote demanding to know if he was for a protective tariff; if so he and his friends could not be for him. The always courageous “Old Hickory” replied that he was for a protective tariff, and if his Virginia friends didn’t like it they could support somebody else. “Let us be careful,” he said in effect, “lest in patronizing the paupers of, Europe in preference to the free men of America, we do not become paupers ourselves.” UNDERGOES OPERATION John Swenson Sr., was taken to the Elkhart hospital Monday night about 11:30, where a major operation was performed about 2 o’clock.
