Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THIS statement cornea out from
Washington:
"The whole purpose ot the re
employment program under the nat
ional recovery act la to put people
back to work."
That sunn it up In a tew words,
doesn't It?
w
HAT we want la return of pros
perity.
The way to bring back prosperity
la to put money Into people'a pock
' eta not printing press money, but
EARNED money. The. way to put
earned money into people'a pocketa
Is to provide them with Jobs.
Hence the re-employment program.
OUT," you "may aay, If you are
D an employer, "how am I to put
more people to work If I haven't
work lor them to do or profits with
which to pay them?"
That Is a question that la stumping
t lot of employers these daya. It
la mighty hard to answer.
CTILL, the fact remalna that If peo-
pie don't apend there will ne
no return of prosperity.
They can't apend unless they have
money In their pocket. They can't
have money in their pocketa unless
they are put back to wofk. They
can't go back to work unless some
body provldea Joba.
Bo there you are.
YOU know the old atory of the
Arkansas man who couldn't fix
hla "roof when It waa raining. When
It wasn't ralnrng, the roof didn't need
fixing.
on hummn of this Bltuatlon, the
roof went unfixed.
IT nobody provides mora Jobs, there
will be no more money In peo
ple's pocketa to spend. If there la
no more money In people'a pocketa
to spend, there will be no return
of prosperity. It will be Just like
the Arkansas house.
If anything Is to happen, aome
bOd? will have to START SOME
THING. IT IS hard on the employers who
are co-operating loyally with the
national recovery program by pro
viding work that they could get
along without and obligating them
aelvea for payroll money that they
havent got.
But the return of prosperity Is a
good desl like a snowball rolling
down hill. It atarta little and gets
big. gathering weight and momen
, turn as It goes along.
. ' But somebody, or something, has
. to START IT ROLLING.
IT IS exactly the same way with the
return of prosperity. Somebody
hss to start It rolling. If providing
Jobs that at the present moment
might be got along without and tak
ing on obligations for payroll money
that at the present moment Isn't In
sight, will start the prosperity ball
to rolling again, the employers who
give the push will find that In the
long run they have been well paid
for the risk they took.
SPEAKING of Jobs brings up the
subject of wages, which are not
as high as we would like to see
them. But wages In this country
are EXCEEDINGLY HIGH, aa com
pared with other countries.
The department of labor has pre
pared a tsble showing spproxlmately
the general average of wages paid In
the United Statea and other eoun
tries In Industries producing goods
that enter the markets of thla coun
try from breed.
Here la the table:
Country Wages per week
United States 3 .30
England -
Sweden ,
Germany -
Frerfce
Belgium
11.37
10.30
03
725
6.31
S37
908
Japan .
Hungary
China
131
WHILE wages in this country are
not anywhere near as high as
e would like to see them, they are
at least far h.gher than In other
countries.
That Is to say, our system, with
11 its Imperfections, returns far
more to those who work than OTHER
SYSTEMS

Upon his return Saturday noon, H.
Van Hoevenberg, who attended tha

the following report was mads to
David Rosenberg, chairman of the lo
cal Bartlett Pear Commodity com
mittee and Paul Scherer, president of
Northwest Fruit Industries.
(1) A thorough discussion with
canners representing 90 per cent of
the csnnery tonnsgs fslled to develop
any unanimous agreement among
canners on a price that they were
willing to pay.
(31 In vtew of the fact that the
California season Is so far along, and
that certsln contracts for deliveries
of canned peara have already been
made, It has not as yet been fully
determined what authority can be
assumed by the Northwest Fruit In
dustries, Inc., through the National
Recovery admlnlstrstlon and Blue
Eagle regulation to secure a reason
able price for the producer. .
(3) Recotfnlalng that the price
might be Influenced In different dis
tricts by variation In quality, freight
rates, etc. a majority of cannera pro
posed an emergency agreement be
tween themselves and the eecretary
of agriculture under which the oan-
nera agreed to purchase their require,

l' and I0 for No. 3'a In any district
provided that the National Recovery
administration oould guarantee that
no pears would be purchssed by any
competitive canning interests at
lower figure.'
(4) This proposal was submitted
by the canners to the representatives
of the Northwest Fruit Industries. The
representatives, of the Industry did
not In any wsy obligate, themselves
on the behalf of growers to accept
ucn a price, except as a minimum
bssls. Prices In various districts may
vary as affected by quality, freight
rums. eic. as specified under para-
(J) The representatives of the In
dustry did not in any way limit their
right to exert every means provided
by the National Recovery administra
tion and the Blue Eagle campaign to
raise the general price level.
Id) Northwest Fruit Industries Is
being organised as fast as possible
under the provisions of the Agrlcul
tursl Adjustment set. and expects to
exert every available Influence to
reasonably increase price levels. Ex
treme efforts are being made to has
ten such organisation, so that the
benefit of the agricultural adjust
ment act may apply in time to the
Bartlett pear deals.

Mr. Rosenberg states that tha lat.
eat advices from Csllfornla are to the
effect that In the last few days cer-
in i.s4iiornia tonnsges have been

SANTA MONICA, Cal., Aug.
11. Everybody knowg Sir.
Roosevelt . didn't want any
armed trouble with Cuba or
anybody else, but when yon
start telling somebody what
"they must do," why you got
to back it up with something.
Tou can't tell the bully to quit
picking on the boy unless you
are prepared to do something
to him in case he don't quit
picking on him.
Trouble is we never did set
Cuba plum free. We kept s
clause in the contract where
we were to remain the guard
ian. Take the sugar out of
Cuba and the sugar out of the
Philippines and our altruistia
feelings would kiuder cool off.
