Since then, nothing has been done.
The president's fear of the senator

fact remains that between the two

that the acreage reduction has been

such was not wholly the case.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
JW. KERNS, describing to a South
em Oregon service club the oth
er day conditions he observed on a
recent trip to Mexico, told of a large
fruit plantation taken from Its Amer
ican owners by the Mexican govern
ment.
It represented an Investment of
two and a half million dollars, and
when It was taken over by the Mex
ican government (expropriated Is the
polite term used by governments when
they do auch things) It was provid
ing employment at good wagea for
many hundreds of Mexicans.
Now It la falling Into ruin, and In
two years more it will have gone back
to the Jungle.
THE former employees have lost
their Jobs, and are now barely
existing. A prosperous town that had
grown up out of the operation is no
longer prosperous. The Inhabitants
speak of the time when the planta
tion waa operating as "back ,in the
good old days."
Agricultural production has fallen
ao low that Mr. Kerns and his party
couldn't buy a half-case of eggs ln
the whole community.
Everyone was living from hand to
mouth.
PROPRIETORS in the same neigh
borhood belonging to prosperous
Mexicans had been "expropriated" at
the same time. They too were falling
into ruin, and their former employees
were out of work.
TAKING from those who have and
' giving to those who have not
has a pleasant sound. AT FIRST, to
the have-nots. It has the appearance
of something for nothing, and the
prospect of getting something for
nothing pleases all of us.
But In the long run the have-nots
find that they suffer along with the
haves by the process of confiscation.
