Satisfying, too. Easy to make. And so low in cost. Isn't there someone you'd like to call right now? Call by Number — It's Twice As Fast There’s an old saying “It makes a difference whose ox is being gored.” • * • Dave Dubinsky and his Inter national Ladies Garment Work ers Union now realise that fact. * * • For Dubinsky’s union was in the front rank^V of those work ing to tear down U.S. pro-j tective tariff: laws to pro-i mote world peace, world brotherhood.' and other! worldwide ideals. In addi-| tion, the union was a leader in the International Conference of Free Trade Unions. * e • Therefore, it is interesting the other day In New York Dubin- sky’a onion won a suit for W#,- 000 total damages against three blonse makers for importing Jap made blonses. • • • Damages were awarded on basis that in importing Jap made blouses these manufacturers vio lated their union contract requir ing them to only sell union made products. • • * According to the nnien, the blouses were made in Jap anion shops, bat on a pay scale ranging as low aa IS cento per hoar. In addition, imports that totalled 124,Mt Monsea In 1954 hare Jumped to 25 million this year, of abont 25% of all blonse sales. The Jap product retails for a dollar, or leas. • • • Dubinsky’s union now takes stand continuation of this trend threatens 30.000 U. S. workers. • * * However, companies involved in suit may appeal decision. (c) Nationhl Federitlon of Independent Business ThW contend tb a<U their own also point ont nete with imnort that they prefer to production, bnt they must com pete with Importers, wholesalers and retailers who can bring In the cheap Jap product with no control by the union. * • * In addition, at least one of the manufacturers claims that some time ago they were unsuccessful in interesting the union in build ing up a mutual fund to combat reciprocal trade treaty arrange ments which make it possible for American industry and labor to be scuttled. But at the time the union leadership was starry eyed over worldwide “free trade.” sss Now, at least as far as Dubin- aky’s organisation is concerned, the light has dawned with the onion now seeking legislation to protect the membership from Jap imports. • 00 With his great influence in labor circles it is possible that Dave Dubinsky may work with other labor leaders to show them error in their stands on tariff cutting. To be sure, he now haa a concrete example of how inter nationalism and one worldism works to destroy U. S. economy. • • o The nationwide membership of the National Federation of Inde pendent Bnsiness has often been criticised for aa anowervlng stand against tariff catting. o*o Yet contrary to essence of these criticisms, this stand has not been taken solely for the in terests of independent business. • * o For independent businessmen know the welfare of American labor and American farmers de pends on them being adequately protected from a flood of foreign imports produced at slave labor wage rates.

THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON .With Clinton Davidson Every day when Congress is in session both the Senate and the House meetings are opened with a prayer. Cabinet meetings also open with a prayer. That is worth thinking about for a min ute or so. Take a coin out of your pocket and look at it. You’ll find im printed on it “Iq God We Trust.” Heading the “best seller” list of books year after year is the Bible. Christianity is more than a phrase; it is a meaningful way of life. The Christian world has more churches and more people attend worship, than anywhere else. I * Communist countries have clos ed their churches and have dis couraged religious assembly. We, in contrast, have made Freedom of Worship one of our basic Four Freedoms. Show me a nation that is happy and prosperous and I’ll show you a mation where the Bible is read in almost every home. Maybe there is no connection, but I be lieve there is. What makes a nation great and prosperous- Many people say it is its natural resources. The nat ural resources of Brazil are great er than those of the United States, and many times greater than those of England. But Brazil is certainly not as progressive or prosperous as eith er the U. S. of Britain. The pros perity of a nation is not deter mined alone by its natural re sources, but by the character of its people. The physical development of the people of any nation is in fluenced to a large extent by their j food. Compare the physical de-| velopment of countries that have a poor diet with that of Ameri cans and Europeans. Likewise, the spiritual develop ment and the character of. the people are influenced largely by their moral and spiritual food. It is obvious to me that'the Bible has provided the food that has been most responsible for moral and spiritual develop ment wher ever it is read. During World War II many of our boys were sent to northern Africa. Many of them told me they were surprised to find the average resident living in the same primitive and unsanitary conditions that existed there 2,000 years age. Why? Many explanations are offered for that condition. Cli mate, education, health, economic opportunity all, undoubtedly have contributed to it. But more important than all of those, I think, is the fact that Bi ble reading by the average person simply does not exist. The teach ings of Christ are not followed. He was the greatest teacher of all time. That is true whereeyr you go. In ountries where there is igno rance, grinding poverty, where liberties are non-existent, Bible democracy is unknown and civil reading is uncommon, if not un known. Just the reverse is true of the most progressive and pros perous nations. Two thousand years of'history proves that the extent to which the people of any nation have read the Bible, to that extent the nation is strong, progressive and prosperous. To the extent to which the reading of the Bible by any nation has been prohibited or discourag ed, to that extent the nation has become weak, backward, and poor. That’s the record. I believe it has a deep meaning for all of us. ^ Thursday, March 1,1956 Faster, Better Easier Typing IF YOU DO NT HEAD THE CHRONICLE YOU DONT GET THE NEWS PHONE 74 THE NEW Remington Ck&Aitot.
