KIM JOHNSON IS
HUNTING FOR A
LANDING FIELD

Ell Centre will be made the main
headquarters for aerial flights be-
tween this valley and \San Diego
Flight Lieutenant Kim Johnson an
nounced last evening to the board of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce. He appeared before that body
asking cooperation in securing a land
ing field near this city.
The members ofthe chamber ex-
pressed their desire to aid him and will
take the matter up with the city coun-
Gil at an early date.
1t was suggested that lease on the
old fair grounds and some of the land
to the east would make an excellent
land field. The vacant land next
to the townsite on the southside of the
Calexico road was also suggested.
Mr.. johnson will do an aerial taxi
business between valley towns and be-
tween this city and San Diego.
The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce were enthusiastic over the
proposition and expressed themselves
as believing that good landing field
here would be designated by the gov
ernment as an official government
landing field.

POLITICAL DELAY
MINORITY CHARGE
Report States Amendments
Could Have Been Report
ed in July if Republicans
Had Wished.
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ire
lection of the peace treaty with
the League of Nations covenant
or adoption of amendments would
mean the sacrifice by the United
States of all concessions obtained
from Germany under a dictated
peace, the minority members Of
the Foreign Relations committee
declared in their report to the
Senate.
The report was prepared by Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking
Democratic member of the committee.
1t urged ratification speedily and with
out amendments or reservations.
Wait is Deplored
1t deplored the ''long unnecessary
delay to which the treaty har been
subjected while locked up in commit
tee whose recommendations were
foregone conclusion" 1t asserted the
recommendations could have been
made in July. s4 rs
Senator Shields, Democrat from
Tennessee did not sign the report hav-
ing announced he favored the League
covenant and reservations prepared by
Chairman Lodge. These signing the re-
port in addition to Hitchcock were
Williams of Mississippi; Swanson Of
Virginia; Pomerene of Ohio; Smith of
Arizona; Pittman of Nevada, all DEM
ocrats.
Lodge Claim Denied
The minority denied the claim in the
League report that the peace confer
ence is still in session and has the
power to bring the German representa-
tives back to Paris.
1t said such power was compulsion
had been exhausted. If the amended
treaty is not signed by Germany says
the report then it is in no respects
binding on her. 1t asserts the propos-
ed reservations were for the purpose
Of destroying the league" This the
minority alleges.
The report urged that peace of the
world be adanced by ratification of
the treaty which is described as the
best hope of the world "even if it is
like all instrumentalities it cannot be
divinely perfect"
World in Ferment.
The report contends the industrial
world is in ferment and the financial
world in doubt. Commerce has been
halted while the delay on the treaty
caused by majority of the committee
known to be out of harmony with the
majority in the senate and the majority
of the peple.
This is declared to be government
by obstruction as well as by minority
and says the adopting of any one
amendment is equivalent to rejecting
the treaty.

DESERT TITLE TO
Be SETTLED At
| O.S ANGELES

A ten-year-old contest for the pos
session of a quarter section of land
lying east of Brawley, was before
United States District Judge Oscar
A. Trippett in Los Angeles the first
part of the week. The action was that
of Ethel Hart against Joseph w. Cox,
to have Cox declared trustee only of
the legal title to the land.
In the action brought by Miss Hart
in the Imperial County Courts
against Cox, the plaintiff was
warded the land and the Judgment
was afterward confirmed, by the
State Supreme Court Cox was oust-
ed from the land under that decision.
Now a Federal question having
arisen, following the issue of the
patent. the litigation has been resum-
ed, both parties claiming the property
under the desert land law and poth
alleging they were on the land when
the resurvey was made, the entry OF
Miss Hart being by metes and bounds
and that Of Cox by numbers.
The bone of the contention ap-
pears to be, was Miss Hart in real
possession of the land at the time
that Cox made his application for
the quarter-section? The case has
been boxed around the compass of
State and Federal jurisdictions since
Miss Hart, when mere child, was
made the beneficiary of the entry
of her father, and she later, when
achieving her majority, went on the
land in 1909 and by cultivation pro-
ceeded to comply with the public land
laws. The land office officials found
in favor of Cox and he was giventhe
patent. The superior and supreme
courts of California decided in ia
vor of Miss Hart, and now the liti-
cation comes before Judge Trippet
for the final disposal of a most trou-
blesome question.

Bic YEAR SAYS
WALTER RUSSELL

"The biggest year in our history"
says w. G. Russell, district agent for
the Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany, in speaking of business condi-
tions over the valley.
"In Imperial valley so far we have
written more busines sthjs year than
we did all last year. Conditions are
better here than l have ever seen
them. Our company now has more
than million dollars worth of insur-
ance in this valley alone. We have Sc
cured this in the past three years"
Mr.. Russell states his company paid
out more than $1S,000,00O in influ-
enza claims and he has received re-
ports that the influenza will return
this year and even now is prevalent
in some parts of the country.

BILLINGS, Mont, Sept. IL
President Wilson declared that
ratification of the peace treaty
was question of whether the
United States would fulfill its
pledges to its people and the
world.
He said he come west to "consult'
with the people. The human heart
beats the same, and on both sides of
the ocean he said and there is a
sincerely desire for no more war. He
said it is a mistake to debate the peace
treaty like an ordinary treaty.
A World Treaty
1t is not merely treaty with Ger
many but is on affecting the entire
world. 1t is this treaty or no treaty,
he said, it is this treaty because it can
be no other.
"This settlement is the first inter
national settlement based on the hap
piness of the average people through
out the world. 1t is peoples, treaty"
He predicted it would not, be wise for
parliaments or congress to atetmpt to
alter it. - -.

GRUNSKY WRITES
OF FARM LOANS

Consulting Engineer c. E. Grunsky
in letter to the irrigation district
which will shortly be made public
takes issue with Judge Charles f. Lob
dell member of the Federal farm loan
board who is at present investigating
affairs of the California board, in the
statements of the farm loan board that
it is unwise to make loans on Imperial
valley lands because Of the unstable
character of the lands.
Mr.. Grunsky points out that this is
community of 10000 persons with
property valued at $l00,0O00 900 and
shows the fallacy of the loan boards
reasoning.

MUST MAIN TAIN
LEVEE WORKS
WITH BONDS
Credit of District is About
Exhausted; Construction
Works for Coming High
Water are of Vital Nee
essity.

Amidst the rejoicing in the valley
over the probable near passage of the
all-American canal bill by congress,
the water users of Imperial irriga-
ton district are unable to forget that
for five years at least the point of
diversion must be brought to the
lands of the valley throug the Rock
wood gate and the Alamo until the
new canal can be completed to the
very gates of the irrigated district,
and in addition to plans for financ-
ing the all-American canal. the valley
will be called on to maintain the pres
ent system.
The vital part of the entire system
truly the heart of the valley, is the
point where the water is first intro
duced into the canals. Without COM
plete and effective works at Hanlon
Heading, the remainder of the system
is worthless. At Hanlon Heading is
the greatest danger of floods. and in
case of any interruption to diversion
weeks and possibly months will be re-
quired to again start the water to-
ward the valley through the Alamo
River.
Hanlon Problem Big One.
The problem at Hanlon is an an
nual one. Partly this is caused by
xyotor conditions -, @bo Colorolo d.
endangers Yuma lands and levees, the
er, but even more SO by the attitude
fthe Yuma Reclamation board of d.
rectors. On the ground that dam
or weir in the river in that vicinity
Yuma board is determined to force
Imperial valley at least once a year
to destroy the only means of keeping
water at a sufficient elevation to
maintain diversion through Rockwoc
intake. Through regulations made by
the War Department of the United
States, menace Of action by the Ari-
zona courts, and necessity of maintain
ing friendly relations with Yuma, the
Imperial Irrigation district is forced
to submit to the Yuma demands and
just at the beginning of low water
each year start on the construction
of new weir.
On account of the width Of the
river, it's treacherous bottom and
changeable channel, the problem is
never two years the same. Until the
summer of this year, the valley an
nually has suffered from a shortage
of water just at the time when val
liable crops were in greatest need,
and the loss has amounted each sea-
son to millions of dollars. In 1919,
Supt. F. N. Cronholm of the River
division, with the aid and sanction of
the board of directors and general
manager Mr.. Perry, was able to di-
vert all of the water by the time the
flood had subsided to the danger point.
AS result there was no loss of crops
and the entire staff of the district is
planning to repeat the feat next year
if funds can be secured to carry on
the work
Construction Needed.
A railway must be constructed, piles
driven, some form of dam laid, each
year after the period of high water,
and the following year each item of
this work must be destroyed and re-
moved before the spring freshet comes
down from the Colorado mountains.
Ingenuity, energy, care and money are

But it wasn't from the office of

The treaty follows the American speci-
fications generally. If it failed it would
be impossible to get together again
the elements necessary to make new
settlement. He cited the upheaval in
Russia. He asked his hearers if they
had not seen the evidence of the
spread of this unrest. 1t was the

he said and the propaganda is spread
ing in the United States.

be an apostle of darkness. There is
one way to beat radicalism and that
is to deprive it of food. The only way
to keep men from agitating is to re-
move the grievance"
President Wilson said the treaty is
severe but just. Some men are call ing
the treaty unduly harsh who were
criticizing the administration year
ago because they thought the United
States would be too easy with Ger
many. .....
"They were pitiless then" he said
