AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or ofiler establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
iormaticH relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
The Business Outlook
Since the beginning of th«
year much space has been giv
en by newspapers and maga
zines to discussion of the busi
ness and industrial outlook
Predictions of a rapid restor
ation of normal conditions arc
not being made nearly so free
ly as they were a year ago, yet
expert opinion is in the main
optimistic.
Reports from many industrial
centers show that about 100,
000 men were put back to
work in automobile, steel, rail
road and other industries in a
single week, and further re
ports of increased forces have
been of daily occurrence.
While so far tho'se given jobs
represent only a small percent
age ot the unemployed, it is
encouraging that a start in the
direction of industrial revival
has been made. In the mean
time much is being done by
governmental and other agen
cies in an effort to afford
emergency relief to those who
are actually suffering fo1' the
necessities of life; but this task
■? an enormous one, and dis
tress is likely to be widespread
for some time to come.
While it is generally conced
ed that recovery from the de
pression will be slow, many
leaders believe that when nor
mal times do arrive again the
country will be on a sounder
basis than ever before. That
will certainly be true if all the
people will heed the lessons of
recent months and cooperate
intelligently to avoid another
orgy of overproduction, specu
lation and other excesses, such
as in a very great degree
brought about our present
plight.

Fr ench Workers Busy
Unemployment has become
'such an international calamity
this year that it is fortunate
that there remains one country
in Europe to furnish jobs not
only to her own population but
to many foreigners as well.
France, according to the
United States Department of
Commerce, receives contract
laborers under visas of her
ministries of labor and agricul
ture, and in addition to these,
foreign laborers often entei
the country with an ordinary
passport and apply later for a
worker’s permit.
Though foreign-workers are
always the first to be dis
missed in periods of depress
ion, in 1928 there were 97,427
arrivals of foreign workers to
58,759 departures; in 1929.
'here were 179,821 arrivals to
38,870 departures; and in the
first six months of 1930' there
were 76,852 entrances and 32,-;
145 departures. About 62 per
cent of the foreign workers go i
into industry and 38 percent:
nto agriculture. The nations |
epresented are chiefly Pol- j
and, Italy, Belgium and Spain. !
The French maintain frontier,]
departmental, and municipal
employment offices that place
i over a million workers annual
iy. In July of 1930, a new so
! eial insurance law was passed,
providing insurance against
| sickness, incapacity, old age,
and death.

An pUcatal View ci Silver
The China Pres,s, of S'nang- ]
hia, expresses the Oriental
viewpoint regarding the re-1
monetization of silver in the
following declaration:
“Unless silver as an honest
medium of exchange is again
•estored to its position in the
.‘urrcncy sytems of the world, j
the commercial collapse of As
a will extend its full influence
over the whole world and
bring down in ruins the entire 1
elaborate fabric of commer
cial and financial inter-de
pendence that civilization ha3
so slowly and laboriously
erected.”
