HE CUT COFFEE BILL Reduced Crude Rubber Cott to Court try by More Than 600 Million I Dollars. WASHINGTON. How Herbert Hoo Ter as Secretary of Commerce waged a fight on foreign monopolies which had been controlling raw materials essential to Industry, agriculture and homes. of the United States Is de scribed In a pamphlet Just Issued by the Republican National Committee. This struggle was one which affect : sd every noma, for the foreign monop- olles not only levied a tax on certain products used In the home but also on other Important articles of commerce. If it had been lost. It would have serl ' ously menaced many branches of business, which made extensive use of these raw materials, thus affecting consumers. Saved America Millions The victory which Mr. Hoover achieved by peaceful means resulted in savings of hundreds of millions of dollars to the American consumer, the pamphlet points out "Governmentally-controlled foreign combinations had been set up in a number of raw materials which, be cause of our inability to produce, we must depend npon purchasing abroad." says the pamphlet "Among them are rubber, coffee, nitrates, potash, sisal, camphor. Iodine, mercury and long staple cotton. These combinations fixed both production and prices." Mr. Hoover's campaign was waged by showing business how to handle the problem largely by Itself. He asked Congress for funds to investi gate the foreign control, and also ob tained authorization to use scientists from other Government departments. Laboratories made studies of recla mation and development of substitutes while scientists sought new sources of these materials, it is shown. Other investigators gathered full data on availability of other territory to pro duce these essentials.' Government officials, Mr. Hocver and others, told the Interested Indus tries of their findings, and at the same time, without any clash with any foreign government or agency, let the nations of the world know Low the United States was prepared to meet this monopolization policy. Some of the results of these efforts, as cited by the pamphlet, are: Broke Rubber Monopoly Sayed American rubber consumers upwards of 1500,000.000 ty action breaking the British control of rubber production and prices. ' This control is being abandoned and new sources of rubber development promise to hold the prices down. Saved the American people about 1100,000,000 in Its bill for coffee through shitting purchases from BraiU to other sources to a sufficient degree to effect the decline. Urged tha growing of long-staple cotton in the United States to break the control exercised In Egypt over acreage and supplies. Encouraged exploration for native beds of potash and aided In promoting the fixation of free nitrogen of the air to help relieve the American farm ers from the levy Imposed by Chile and the Franco-German potash trust By demonstra'Ing to the other na tions that the United States s deter mined not to tolerate foreign control, and by the example afforded In the case of rubber, the signal has been given for abandonment of others of the more deleterious controls. Mr. Hoover, the pamphlet points out, has consistently clung to the posi tion "that economic progress must de pend upon the driving force of com petition." Ha has reiterated that: "The problem should be met on the ground of what in the long run will produce good will and prosperity to the entire world, for no single na tion can dissociate Its prosperity from the prosperity and good will of all of them. " And his method has sought to bring this about, rather than to develop trade wars, in which there lie the seeds of international friction and a menace to friendly relations. oT tfie government Iu "thTa"" direction now exceud $;?6,9i3,0u0 anuually, and represent the one Important division of the government where the policy has been Justifiably to increase rather than to reduce expenditures. This has also been the one Important division of the government where the drive tor reduction of expeudllures has been ap plied only for economy in Its adminis tration not against the veteraus. It Is the one division where large meas ure of Increased expenditure of the government has taken place during the past seven years. This Is as It should be. This government must not be extravagant but It must be Just." Prosperity's Voice CARE OF VETERANS PROMISED BY HOOVER WASHINGTON. Addressing a dele gation of veterans representing the various war service organizations of the District of Columbia, Herbert Hoover declared against reduction of expenditures for the care of veterans. He approved the policy of Republican administrations during the last seven years In showing ex-service men the utmost liberality. Mr. Hoover's remarks to the delega tion were as follows: "I believe all of America recognizes our national obligation to our veter ans. The country today is providing pensions and compensatior. to 835,292 men and women, with' insurance and adjusted compensation to over tour million more.

Induced Manufacturers to Establish Industry on That Basis After SO Year Struggle, WASHINQTO.N.-Ths intention of Herbert Hoover to keep to a high level the standards of the American home and to do so by continuing his efforts In behalf of labor is shown In a pamphlet, "Hoover and Labor,'.' re leased by the Hoover for President Labor Council of the Republican Na tional Committee. During his entire career, beginning at the sge of 12 when be was tossed Into ths world to- earn his living, Mr. Hoover has worked wholo-hearteilly in the causa of the working man. As a tanorer himself, as a worker In the mines In his youth and, since 1921, as Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Hoover -has studied the problems of Amnrli nn labor and has aided In the solution of many of them, the pamphlet shows. Aided Long Fight In Steel Mills Mr. Hoover's labor, record Is so open book. Policies that have bene fited labor have won his unwavering support In every Instance, the leaflet reveals. "In supporUng Mr. Hoover," It states "Amorlcan workers will be voting for one of their own kind." The brochure further goes on to show that Mr. Hoover's support of the principle of collective bargaining Is not mere theory. Prior to 19:2 the workers In the steel Industry wore working 12 hours a day. This conll tlon Mr. Hoover deplored, as ho be Uoved that a sbortor working dity would not only be of untold benefit t- the steel worker, but would result In me long run In a greater output and j better craftsmanship. 1 To this end, In 1922. he brought to- i gether the steel manufacturers of ! America and Induced them to es'.ab- i Itsh eight hours throughout the en:!re j teel Industry. For thirty years organ ised labor had been fighting to this ! end and the pamphlet Just Issued ! shows that Mr. Hoover's efforts ,vere I successful In bringing to a close that j long fight of the steel workers. Mr. Hoover has always believed In ! collective bargaining and In addition I he has constantly upheld the rights of 1 workers to select their own represent- t atlves without Interference, Influence or coercion from any source. He tins ' always opposed the seven day week, 1 once general In many Industries. Is High Wags Advocate I In 1920 he said: "In fixing hours of I labor In Industrial establishments a( ; a point consistent with the health of i employees and with proper opportu- j nlty for rest and recreation, there should In all cases be provision for j ene day's rest In seven." , i "Mr. Hoover believes that the road to prosperity la that which lends to prosperity for the masses." the pamphlet says. "While advocating mass production and the use of lajor saving machinery, he has earnestly advocated that labor share In the In creased production through higher wages and the adoption of the best conditions of employment In the world. His record In the Department of Commerce and his public utter ances demonstrate the earnestness and sincerity of his interest in the workers of our country, who have al ways looked upon him as a friend." Digging Into the public utterances of the Republican candidate for presl-. dent, the pamphlet reveals thjit In his dealing with the question of the re striction of foreign Immigration, Mr. Hoover believes that our first concern Is to provide employment for our own people and others already here before we permit the admission of many from other countries to compete with Amer ican labor. At the same time, in bis address of acceptance at Palo Alto, Calif., in August, he promised to do his utmost to amend the Immigration laws to relieve unnecessary hardships Upon families. As a basis of protection for ths American working man Mr. Hoover believes firmly in the Protective Tariff, the booklet reiterates in point ing out the dangers of a change In administration policies at the present crucial period.
