as follows:
“Apparently many people in the
Northern States would like to pre
vent any imports whatever into
the United States. Their battle
cry is the American market for
the American producer! This bat
tle cry rolls trippingly off the
tongue, but it means death to the
cotton farmer and the most seri
ous injury to the tobacco farmer,
the wheat farmer, and the hog
farmer. In the long run, our
stream of export products will
dwindle to the same extent as our
stream of imports.”

Advises Not To Use
The well-meaning and patriotic
citizens who are urging Congress
to pass new laws to prevent a _ ,,, ^ „ ..
flood” of alien refugees from U” 4 * 1 th * wage earners ° f 4he
entering the United States have b f c t ome ” ore * a “ 1Uar
forgotten some things about w * tb the clalms-paylng mac mery wr T \li]b
American history. They forget, i of ,he old -fS e a " d 0 su 7‘, v ° rs m ' Wrong LaDelS Un iVIUK
for Instance, that under President surance system, the Social Secun-
John Adams, more than 140 years Board will notity workers near-
ago. Congress enacted laws aimed ‘"8‘ h< : a &® of « 5 4 of tbeir p ™ bable
right to benefits. Miss Martha
Pressly, manager of the Board’s
office at Greenwood, S. C., an
nounced today. The decision to
at aliens which were so widely re
sented that the Federalist Govern-
ment was overthrown.
More important, these good folk
who are so afraid of a new wave extend this direc *’ P^al serv -
ice to workers. Miss Pressly
of immigration forget that they,
themselves, are of alien descent.
Every American traces his pedi
gree to forefathers who left their
native lands because they thought
their opportunities were better
over here.
Most of the sixty-odd bills
the subject now before Congress
seem to be based on the theory
that the principal criminal ele
ment is composed of aliens. That
is not the case. As Representative
Bruce Barton points out* all of
Die most notorious criminals of
recent times are either native
Americans or have purged them
selves of their alien status by be
coming naturalized.
Some of the proposed laws
would limit the number of 'persons
ef certain races or religions who
could be admitted to this country.
There are some who would bar the
Roman Catholic refugees from
Poland, others who want to ex
clude the Jewish refugees from
Germany and Italy.
The existing immigration laws
are reasonably liberal. Under
them no “flood” of people of a
single race or country can come
Ri except in driblets. America has
absorbed the newcomers of all
races and countries for more than
300 years. ‘ There is no reason to
suppose that we have lost the
capacity to instil the American
Way into the newcomers of today
and tomorrow.

Exports To South
America In 1939
About $329,000,000
ex
plained, is in line with the Board’s
policy to do all it can to prevent a
worker’s losing, through ignorance
of his rights, any part of his bene
fits.
In the files of the Bureau of
on .Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
1 there are, she explained, the
personal records of .the nearly 48
Exports from the United States
to South America amounted to ap
proximately $329,000,000 in the
calendar year 1939, or an increase
cf nearly 10 per cent over the
preceding year. This is the lar
gest figure for many years and
helps to offset the decline in ex
ports to Europe resulting from the
war.
“This increase in exports to
South America is of great im
portance to the American farmer”,
states the Chilean Nitrate Educa
tional Bureau. “Europe has had
to shift its purchases here from
agricultural products to military
xnpplies. South America, on the
ether hand, is not only buying
more agricultural products from
the United States, but also more
Industrial products, thus strength
ening the farmer’s domestic mar
ket.”
It is pointed out that the South
must export about half of its cot
ton and half of its tobacco, but
that the South cannot sell to
other nations unless it also buys
from them. Foreign countries
can only pay for American prod
ucts with American dollars, and
they can only obtain American
dollars by selling their own non
competitive products to the
United States.
“Our commerce with Chile t is a
good illustration of this”, the Bu
reau states. “Total exports from
the United States to Chile in 1939
amounted to $26,789,000, which is
ky far the largest figure for the
past ten years. One of the factors
which made this export trade pos-
jable was the sale of Chilean ni
trate of soda in this country, a-
mounting last year to a little over
630,000 tons.
“To reserve the American mar
ket exclusively for Americans
means ruin to the farmer, ac
cording to a recent statement by
fiecretary of Agriculture Wallace,
million men and women to whom
social security account numbers
have been assigned. Each of
these records shows the date of
the worker’s birth. Also in the
files are the complete wage rec
ords of all men and women who
have been employed in industrial
or commercial jobs at any time
since the system went into effect
on January 1, 1937. Shortly before
his 65th birthday, photostats of
the worker’s personal record, as it
appears on his application for an
account number, and of his wage
record will be sent to the field of
fice in the area where he was last
reported working.
“With these records at hand,”
said Mi?’' Pressly, “the- manager
of the office will invite the worker
to examine them, particularly the
wage record. The Board’s repre
sentative will, of course, explain to
him the few simple steips that
must be taken to file a claim for
benefits. She will also advise him
as to the rights the members of
his family may have to supple
mental benefits.”

Report On Finnish
Relief Funds In
McCormiek County
It has come to the attention of
the County Health Department
that milk is being sold by various
dealers under labels of Grade “A”
“B”, “C”, and “D”. It is believed
that the milk dealers are pur
chasing mis-print stoppers with
grades on them and are selling
the milk without realizing the
nature of the offense.
These grades are derived from a
Code established by the United
States Health Service and are a-
warded after inspection and milk
analysis by the Health Depart
ment. To use these grades other
wise is pot only a violation of the
State Law but also a violation of
the Federal Pure Food and Drug
Act by misrepresenting the con
tents of a bottle.
It is permissible to use these
bottle caps if the grade is
scratched out before selling. If
anyone wishes to produce graded
milk they may apply to the
County Health Department where
their dairy will be registered for
supervision, inspections and milk
analysis made, and a grade a-
warded accordingly.
However, those not authorized
please refrain from using grades
to save prosecution.
