Show LETTERS j TO THE EDITOR AS I SEE IT The wool growers convention ended without much being accomplished. ac-complished. I doi''t think that I was ever to a convention where everybody seemed to have given up hope that we were a forgotten forgot-ten people. It seems to me we were too passive and would settle set-tle for almost anything in the form of support for wool. The committee went on record of accepting ac-cepting the President's and Benson's Ben-son's plan; I don't know what it1 is and I don"t think anybody else does either. They all talk about an incentive or realistic program; now if you can et any sense out of such a program I would like to know whit. I don't know why they don't come out and ask for a tariff instead of giving everybody every-body the run around. I think it is time for us to come up fighting fight-ing and call a spade a spade, and let them know what we need for survival. Some time back I asked the Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club to assist on some kind of program to help bring the wool and sheep industry to normal in our country, but I haven't heard or seen anything they have done about it. At least they could write our president and secretary of agriculture and ask that a tar-if tar-if be put on our wool so that we can get the cost of production out of it. As I see it we have all got to start fighting for our American industry, especially our labor unions, or else they will lose all that they have gained in the last 20 years. If we are to uphold up-hold our standard of living we will have to stop our foreign neighbors from destroying our way of life. Clarence Lamoreaux |
