Mr.. Walsh told the President the
point of their request was that, II an
audience before the Big Five" then
the Big Four" could not be secured
for De Valera, Griffith and Plunkett, as
requested by a resolution Of the
Senate, an effort should be made by
the President to secure an interview
for the American representatives Of
some others.
Irish Grievances Rehearsed
Mr.. Walsh reviewed his previous
charges Of English misrule in Ire
land and added:
"Unless some relief is given the
workers they would have in self
defence to set up soviet governments
or do something else 70 relieve the
situation"
"Of course, you must understand"
the President said. "that no small ma

Is an agreement that none can como

"When | gave utterance to those
words I said them without the knowl-

President said. "You do not know and
cannot appreciate the snxieties that |
have experienced as the result of these

hopes raised by what I have said.
"For instance, time after time I raise

and that many Of the policies for
which he eontended were not included
in tho treaty Of peace was made a part
Of the official record OF the Senate

The Presidents admission. made in
an appeal for sympathy. was contained
in q memorandum Of the meeting Of
Frank P. Walsh and former Governor
Dunne OF Illinois with the President.
on June II, at which they argued for
a hearing OF Ireland's case before the
peace conference. Their request was
denied. =,
Confronted with declarations he had
made early in the war that all nations
had q right Of self-determination, and
that this was an issue to be settled
once and for all on the side Of justice,
the President said to the Irish dele
gates:
Event Called "Great Tragedy"
"You have touched on the great
metaphysical tragedy Of to-day, My
words have raised hope in the hearts
Of millions Of people. II is my wish
that they have that; but could you i'm
agine that these people could come
into that at once"

Mr.. Swing. Well, the Colorado River
Land Co., and they have another or

about 20 small landowners.
Mr.. Evans. You are speaking OF

Mr.. Swing. Yes, sir. When i say

GODD TIRES ARE DARK
IN COLOR

Thai ics tires arc now made in dark
colors is due not to q fad in stple, but
to important improvements in the com
pounds which make up the tire tread,
is the statement Of the United States
Tire company.
After long period of experimental
tioa, this company developed a new
orfmJla for its tread compounds, so
much tougher and much better-wear-
ing, that il was adopted as the stand
and OF manufacture, even though it
called fer change from the light col
or to which the public had been ac-
customed.
Before the dark tire was placed on
the market it was thoroughly tested
by the testing fleets Of the company.
These tests demonstrated that the dark
compound produced tires Of greater
mileage than the lighter stock. The
dark colored tires have been on tho
market long enough TO demonstrate
their superiority.
Aside from the matter Of the quail
ity Of the tire. the dark colored tir,
has decided advantage in that it +
not 50 easily discoiorcd as the Ign
; tire. TO Keen light colored tire pre-
? aentatlc required frequent dressing
tut the black tine needs no attentio

Imperial Valley press., 1919-09-13

But on the American side the far
mer, in addition to this, pays 81 per
acre year and up to his mutual COM
panies to maintain the distributing
system, and last year paid 1925 per
500 assessed valuation to the district.
The Mexican landowner pays nothing
that is the equivalent of this tax.
Last year the American lands paid
into the district $750,OOO in taxes,
which was used to pay interest on
bonds; the money from the sale of
the bonds having been used to make
permanent improvements, most of
them in Mexico, and to make general
improvements during that year in the
system. Most of these improvements
were made in Mexico, and were just as
vital to the Mexican lands as to the
American lands; and yet the Mexican
landowner did not contribute one cent
to this cause.
Somebody asked Mr.. Davis if he
knew what the attitude Of the Mexi-
acn landowner was. | will tell you:
We were preparing last year to
spend 100000 raising those protect
ing levees in Mexico. 1t occurred to
some one that we had never asked the
Mexican landowners to contribute; it
was said we had condemned them un.
Justly. "Why, they are Americans; they
are good fellows, they will do the right
thing. Let US ask them to voluntarily
contribute something, because this
work will benefit their lands" And
one of the directors made the trip,
with the consent of the rest of the
board of directors, to Los Angeles to
see the head Of the corporation own
ing the most land, and asked what
amount he thought the Mexican lands
would contribute toward this protec-
tive work. And when he asked him
how much they promised, he said
"Not one cent"
Since that time the American peo
pie of the Imperial valley, by vote
of to 2, have ratified the contrac
to build the all-American canal. Sine'
that has been ratified Harry Chandler
of the Los Angeles Times, appeared il
the office of the Secretary. of the In
terror, and in general words said
"Count me in on anything like tn
improvement of the Colorado River.
: That was the same Harry Chandle
who told one of the directors of tn
Imperial irrigation district that ther
was nothing doing, when it came t
their bearing any portion at all of tn
!, cost of protective work to protect hi
. own lands. They will only do whs
: they have to do, and this America

DO YOU know that they charged |
1t for the right of way for the land
which we built these canals and for II

their cwn lands? If this bill is passc

Clouds Brought Soaking Rain and
EverybOdy's Happy.

Mena and vicinity got the "silver
lining" from the mass of clouds that
darkened the heavens Saturday morn
ing in, the form of good soaking rain.
1t was one of those times when thun-
der and lightning and black clouds
brought smiles instead of scowls, and
there were no complaints because of
the mud on the street crossings. 1t
was the first real rain Mena has had
for more than two weeks, and when
suffering humanity realized that
Mother Earth was getting a good
soaking, everybody was happy. The
dust has been laid 20 rest and once
again travel on the streets and high
ways can be accomplished with some
degree of relief. The precipitation in
little less than 3 hours, was 1884
inches.
The rain came also in good time for
fall gardens and for the planting of
the first turnip crop. The drouth
glooms have vanished and joy is once
more supreme. The sweet potato
crop, beginning to suffer, now seems
absolutely safe
