Withdraw Objections
To Irrigation Canal
On California Border

Washington, Jan. 1S-Objections
previously expressed by the State
department to the construction of
an all-American canal along the
California border, which would free
$4,000 settlers of Imperial valley
from dependence upon Mexico for
water for irrigation purposes were
withdrawn today by Secretary Lam
sing in a letter to Representative
Kinkaid, republican, Nebraska, chair
man of the house committee on lr-
rigation.
At present American and Mexican
ranchers are served jointly by a
canal which, though flowing through
Mexican territory for 50 miles, is
owned by municipal corporation
organized by American citizens.
Dependence of Americans upon the
canal has resulted, it is claimed, in
the refusal of Mexican benehiciarles
OF the water to pay any part OF the
maintenance of the Canal.
Under the proposed Kettner bill
100000 acres of government land
east of Imperial valley, which would
be included in the irrigable territory
of the proposed all-American canal,
would be opened for entry and set
t1ement by former service men.

ENGLISH PAPER
STARTS FIGHT
ON MONEY TRUST
London Express Would Ma
tionaIize Bank of England
And Open Government
Clearing House.
By FLOYD MACGRIFF.
International News Service Staff Corre-
spondent.

London, Jan. 1S.-England is in
TIE grip of a gigantic money trust
which is holding the nation to ran
som on money rates, according to
the London Daily Express. The
Daily Express has been waging
campaign to force the government:
First, to insist that the clearing
house, now dominated by private
banking interests so that it is vir-
.ually a monopoly, be thrown open,
so that seats may be held by any
bank.
Second, to enact legislation max
ing it illegal for the banks to COM
bine to fix the rates of interest and
discount. thus preventing what viz
tually amounts to a restraint OF
trade by big banks.
Third, to end the career of the
Bank of England as private enter
prise with certain national prlvi-
leges, making the bank instead a
real national bank.
The Daily Express calls upon the
public to back up this demand,
which it holds is justified not only
bv onerous banking conditions, but
bv increased charges on every per-
sons cost of living owing to
squeeze methods employed by the
alleged bank combination.
