That Los Angeles is alive to the
wonderful possibilities of the lmpe-
rial Valley and its gigantic irrigation
system is apparent from a letter just
received by Chief Engineer lockwood
of the Imperial Irrigation District
from Nathan Newly of the Los An
reles City Club.
That club plans a big meeting on
June II at the cafe of the Broadway
Department Store, at which time a
discussion of the Colorado river and
it's relation to the Imperial Valley will
be taken up and an invitation to the
meeting is extended by the club.
Following is the letter of Mr.. New
by, in part:

MEX GOLD COMES
IN BIG CHUNK

Calexico Chronicle: For the first
time in several months, Mexican gold
in a considerable quantity has ap-
peared in Mexicali, about $4,000 worth
of Mexican money, minted in that
metal, being paid to Mexican soldiers.
The consignment of Mexican gold
it was stated by authorities over the
border yesterday was received in a
single shipment from Los Angeles,
and was used in aiding to reimburse
the soldiers at the cuartel.
Considerable Of the gold was newly
minted, it is stated.
Just where it was minted, and
where the gold came from, was not
asccrtained.
Considerable complaint has been
heard from the interior of Mexico as
to bad financial conditions; lack of
gold. depreciation of currency because
of the scarcity of the metal and other
features which are said to have been
ihe ceuse of financial depression.
From the appearance of the goodly
chunk of Mexican gold in Mexicali ap-
rarently there is still some of it in
circulation.
Mexican money is exceedingly
scarce, rs general rule, in the Lower
California capital, American money
being practically the only medium of
exchange.

on. We have nothing material of any
kind to ask for ourselves and are
quite aware that we are in no sense
or degree parties to the present quar-
rel. Our interest is only in peace.
"The second, a, universal association
of the nations to maintain the invio-
late security of the highway of the
seas for the common and unhindered

contrary to treaty covenants or with
out warning and full submission of
the causes to the opinion of the
world-a virtual guarantee of terri
torial integrity and political indepen-

The fundamentals of lasting
peace, President Wilson said, he be-
lieved were:
''First, that every people have a
right to choose the sovereignty under
which they shall live. Like other ma
tions," the president said, 1--WE have
ourselves no doubt once and again
offended against that principle, when
for little while controlled by selfish
passion, as our franker historians
have been honorable enough to admit;
but it has become more our rule of life
and action.
"Second, that the small states of the
world have right to enjoy the same
respect for their sovereignty and for
their territorial integrity that great
and powerful nations expect and in
sist upon.
"And, third, that the world has a
right to be free from every disturb

in aggression and disregard of the

The outstanding lesson of the world
war, the president said, had been that
the peace of the world must hence
forth depend upon "new and more
wholesome diplomacy"
eff this war has accomplished
nothing else for The benefit of the
world" said he, "it has at least dis
closed a great moral necessity and
set forward the thinking of the
statesmen of the world by whole
age. Repeated utterances of the lead
ing statesmen of most of the great
nations now engaged in war have
made it plain that their thought has
come to this: That the principle of
public right must henceforth take
precedence over the individual inter-
ests of particular nations, and that
the nations of the world must in some
way band themselves together to see
that that right prevails against any
sort of selfish aggression; that hence
forth alliance must not be set up
against alliance, but that there must
be a common agreement for a COM
mon object and that at the heart of
that common object must lie the in
violable rights of peoples and of man.

HYPHEN MUST GO.
SAYS ROOSEVELT

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 29.-Hun-
dreds of persons came here Saturday
in three special trains from New York
and marched from the railroad station
to Sycamore Hill, in columns four
abreast, to pay their respects to The
odore Roosevelt and assure him of
their support in the event of his NOM
ination for the presidency. The march
ers, headed by the Seventh Regiment
band, sang "The Army and Navy For
ever" and other popular airs.
Richard M. Hurd, who was spokes-
man for the visitors, in addressing
Roosevelt, said:
"Lincoln said this nation could not
endure half slave and half free. 1t
is equally true, as you have pointed
out, that this nation cannot now en-
dure half hyphenated and half Ameri-
can"
Roosevelt, addressing the visitors
from the porch Of his home, said:
we nave q IISII W VI
every man who comes here and be-
comes a citizen that he become an
American and nothing else. We re-
gard the hyphen as a bar sinister
drawn across cur national coat of
arms and we don't intend to permit
it to remain there. To you, both ma
tive of this country and those born
abroad, and, above all, to you native
Americans of old stock, you cannot
expect to get loyalty from the immi-
grant or the immigrants children un-
less you make this a country to which
a proud man can be loyal. And to do
that you have got to demand that the
country stand for courage and for
strength No man ever yet was loyal
to a coward. No man ever yet was
loyal to a weakling whose weakness
is due to the fact that he would not
take the pains and undergo the eff
fort necessary to be strong"
Washington, May 29.-President
Wilson declared here Saturday night
before the League to Enforce Peace
that the United States was ready to
join any feasible association of ma
tions to preserve the peace of the
world against political ambition and
selfish hostility" and "in service of a
common order, common justice and
a common peace" He expressed the
hope that the terms of peace which
end the present war would include
such an arrangement.
Outlining suggestions for peace,
which the president said he hoped the
United States would make when it has
opportunity to do so, he included pro-
vision for absolute freedom of the
seas, a contention which has been the
keystone of all the diplomatic discus
sions with Germany and Great Brit
ain, and virtual guarantees of terri
torial integrity and political indepen-
dence.
Speech Termed Feeler for Peace.
Officials interpreted the presidents
address as a preliminary feeler for
peace in Europe. He outlined the con-
ditions on which the United States
would move if it made a formal medi-
atory offer with the idea, it was un-
derstood, OF learning how such sug-
gestions would be received abroad.

LACK OF SHIPS WILL AFFECT CROP

"There is another factor than merely
supply and demand" says Farm and
Fireside. ''The world is getting fear
fully short of ocean shipping, and every
thing points to the probability that this
will be progressively accentuated as the
war continues. Our own commercial
authorities are worried; wise men go so
far as to express fear that the impossi-
bility of finding ships may greatly affect
prices on this years crops. In ordinary
times bnshel of wheat is taken across
the ocean for almost nothing; sometimes
actually for nothing, serving as ballast.
But it is now costing about 40 cents to
get bushel to Liverpool, so that by the
time our wheat gets to consumers there
it is pretty nearly 81 wheat. There are
some public men who declare, after their
recent studies of the shipping problem,
that the prices of this years crops will

the cargo they could get, but they must
sail on schedule time, and so cargo in some
seasons came almost to commend prem

A steel company in Ohio increased the
wages of its employees ten per cent, and
TWO days later other steel companies
took like action. This, the grand jury
and local prosecutor said was evidence
of combination to fix wages, and they
were indicted under charge of violat-
ing Ohio's Antitrust law. When the
case came up for trial the indictments
were quashed upon the defendants mo-
ton, but the incident shows the sense
less and unjustifable interference with
business under existing laws. Here is
another illustration. Suit was brought
by the government for the dissolution of
the Corn Products Refining Company,
which makes glucose and starch. The
company was charged with being an I'M
lawful combination to monopolize the
production Of glucose and starch. The
company in its defence pointed to the
fact that while it's annual output of glu-
cose had fallen from Ala, 900, 900 pounds
in 1907 to 5000, 900 in 1914, that of its
competitors had risen in the same time
from $4,000, 900 to 1872, 900, 900 pounds.
The presiding judge intimated 'that the
judgment of the court would not be
severe one" In similar case against
the American Can Company the presid-
ing judge withheld decree of dissolu-
ton and permitted the company to carry
on its business, future action being
conditioned upon it's good behavior" Is
