THE GOMPERS CONSPIRACY.
Samuel Gompers seems to believe
there is a vast. conspiracy to ioist re-
cognition of the Soviet government
upon the world. He says he has am-
ple proof that the Bolshevik propa-
ganda. fund in the United States
amounts to many millions, out of
which bribes have been ofiered "in,
places that the newapaper. world is
"worm-eaten with Bolshovik friends- A Bible Class in HOllyw
Will Hays as’i‘eacher
3? REV. G..c.~novm MW.
and propagandists and still
editors who fall victim to deception or
blandishment." with the result that
editorial understanding is offset by
misreporting and pro-Bolshevik re-
porting.
Mr. Gompers also believes that for-
eign correspondents are "addicts of
the Bolshevik dope habit." and that
> ’ of the cables from Genoa are
“tainted."
Besides this. American-Anglo-Ger-
man bankers. one in particular. who. fl-fiemm They”
- unborn in Germany. are doing every-
«th‘ug possible to secure American re-,
common. Prominent labor-haters.

any respect sustained the cruel. vicious
and economically debilitating regime
of Lenine. It believes. moreover. that
Mr. Gompers is exaggerating when he
intimat’es that any large proportion of
the American prefi is either crooked
or so “immature" as to be an easy vic-
tim. -
The outside assistanc » which the
powers at Genoa agree is necessary to
avert a collapse in Russia or prevent
its wholesale exploitation by Germany
is quite another matter from full poli-
tical recognition of the.Soviet govern-
_mcut.
Mr. Gompers is in a position to
know the dangers of Bolshevik pro-
paganda. because he has had great dif-
ficulty in keeping it from riddling the
ranks of .‘merican labor. He is do-
ing a service in keeping people's eyes
open. but there need be no fear that
a. conspiracv of this sort could suc-
ceed in forcing recognition until Rus-
sia proves herself worthy of it. Aid
is not the same thing. It adds to hope
for Russia. and therefore hope for the
world. '

FOREsTS FOR FRUIT BOXES.
The government has just sold a bil-
lion feet of timber. in the Lassen Na-
tional Forest. to the California Fruit
Grovvers' Exchange. This is a striking
evidence of the importance of the
fruit industry in California. Nearly
all of the lumber is to be used for
boxes to ship citrus frui’s. Here is an
eye—opener for eastern fruit growers.
The fact will not be overlooked that
the citrus‘ruit industry has grown to
its present scope and prosperity be-
cause it is organized. The people in it
pool their knowledge. standardize
their products and methods of cultiva-
tion and buy and sell together.
No less significant is the way the
big timber :ract is to be handled. Only
70 per cent. of the standing timber
will he cut.‘ The rest. consisting of
young and thrifty trees. will he care-
fully saved and guarded to' form the
forests of the. future. Brush and de-
bris will be piled and burned to reduce
the lire danger. The terms of sale
provide a definite plan whereby there
will be a perpetual yield of lumber for
the marketing of California's oranges
and lemons.
Eventually. perhaps. all ouragricul-
inml industries and all our forests will
be handled likewiSi.

SENTINEL ‘
READERS’ VIEWS
DR. TRACY‘S RELATED ZEAL.
Editor of Sentinel:
Dear Sir:—
Permit me. a member of the Home
and School League, through your pa.-
per to ask a few questions of the old-
er members in service on the Board of
Education. 7
Why is it that the committee on the.
hiring of teachers was not approached
by a committee of teachers until after
the budget had been completed and
sent in?
Why is it that although the matter
had been before the public for two
months no complaint reached the ears
of the said committee on hiring teach-
are
.Why is it that Dr. Tracy refuses to
serve on any committee or do his
share of the real work when he was
elected by the people to do his share
of said committee work?
\Vhy is it that Dr. Tracy. having
none of the preliminary work. comes
to the regular meetings of the entire
Board and poses as the one who has
why is he shirki his duty by not.
serving on one
ill th-- grade schools that Dr. Tracey:
and Mr. Ward w ted the-teachers to
attend the May eating of the lioard‘
of Education? Was it 'd'one in the
real interests of the schools and to‘
benefit the teachers in the years to'
come. or was it done for personal ran-'-
acns? ' i
is there a special effort on the part.
of some members or the Board of Ell-.4]
ucation to so raise the School Budget
out of all proportion and thus increase
taxes that. the fact may be used as.
political propaganda?
Or is it an effort to impress upoan
the minds of the people that the!
Board of Education is an extravagant ‘
body in order-that moment legals-g
ture may be appealédvto that the.
amendment passed by the. last legisla-i
ture may be rescinded? '
The. writer believes in progress .but
also that at the present cost of livmg;
the increase should be sane and'
steady. and that other—departments of
the city must have their share of ap-
propriation and things must be equal-
ized. ' '
It is better to make has‘te slowly and:
go back. than to leap forward only?
to find yourself caught in a net which
will not only retard but in all proba-i
bility cause a retrenchment later on.l
Too much zeal where caution has al-
ways before been the cry behooves the
public arid teachers to keep a watch-
l'ul eye for snares and pitfalls.
Thank you for the. space.
