new VALLEY PAVING
DEPENDENT UPON
MORE BONDS

LOS ANGELES, April 27.-Paved
highways for the Imperial Valley were
discussed today at q session of the
State Highway commission here. The
presence of the full commission was
taken advantage of by +. P. Clarke
and Ross l.. Hammond of Riverside.
The former is editor of the Riverside
Press, chairman of the State Board of
Imperial Valley Press. The latter is
editor of and stakeholder in the I'm
perial Valley Press. These two gentle
men explained to the board that their
financial interests in the valley were
such that they wished to see highway
development there advanced as rapidly
as possible, to facilitate traffic and to
promote intercourse with outside ter
ritory; they wanted to be helpful, if
possible, in creating situation that
would lead to more paving in the
valley.
The members of the commission ex-
planned that there is now 40 miles of
paving under contract and under con-
struction to complete the highway from
Banning to the valley. A section Of
IL miles from Banning to Whitewater
is being laid; another of 171a miles
from Whitewater to Edom; q third of
111a miles between Edom and Indio
and an extension of three miles on
the south end of the highway, near the
Trifolium canal. When these contracts
are completed this season there will be
a complete highway into, the valley, to
the edge of, the irrigated district. To
carry out these projects the board will
expend more than $1,000,000 and ex-
haust the appropriation for this road.
But it also expects to be able to pave
the two miles between the city limits
of Imperial and Ell Centre, which will
be done next fall. Under special ap-
preparation 10 miles is being built east
Of Holtville.
The commissioners stated that they
had been in communication with the
supervisors of Imperial county and
that the latter have been informed
there is at present no money in the
state treasury for any other work in
the valley. In order to get this state
highway put through the valley it will
be. necessary to await action of the
legislature in submitting another bond
issue, and after that a vote of the
people on the question. The demand
for action in Imperial Valley is the
same as from all other parts of the
state, the commissioners stated and the
problem of road financing is big one
now squarely up to the people.

liciously misquoted."
A representative of the paper who
was present took up the challenge and
telephoned his office.
The writer of the article replied over
the telephone that he was leaving i'm.
mediately to meet Coburn.

GENOA, April 27.--Germany will
support Loyalty Lloyd Georges plan
for o pact of nonaggression, Waiter
Rathenau of the German delegation de-
clared in an address to the press Of the
world this afternoon.
Rathenau followed the example of
Lloyd George in summoning all the cor
respondents at Genoa to hear his state
ment of the German position.
"The proposed pact will constitute
one of the greatest acts ever taken on
behalf of humanity,' he declared. "It
will make the Genoa conference the
greatest in the history of the world. !"
Lloyd Georges speech last night to
American and British newspapermen,
Rathenau asserted "was the most brill
liant effort Of the entire career of the
far sighted statesman, who holds in
his hands the world g greatest respon-
sibility."
''As / understand the speech is now
the epoch of Genoa conference, namely
the introduction Of nonaggression
pact. If this pact expresses the ideas
contained in Lloyd Georges speech,
Germany viii take part loyally.''
Lloyd George is determined to open
the whole question of reparation pay

and come to Paris to confer with other
high officials.
At the same time, the foreign office
categorically denied that French troops
were preparing to advance into the
Ruhr valley.
France will refuse Lloyd Georges in
Vitation to a supreme council meeting
unless it is guaranteed that reparations
and France IS reports under the Yer
sailles treaty will not be discussed, it
was authoritatively stated today. ~
Lloyd Georges idea in calling meet
ing of the supreme council of the allies
was understood to be to demand Of
France what independent action she
intends to take towards Germany if
reparations claims are not met by May
81.
Premier Poincare is understood to be
preparing a note, insisting that the al
lies council at Genoa must deal with
the question of the RussoGerman
treaty, but must not discuss reparations.
Premier Demands Showdown
Aggressive speeches by President Mil
lerand and Premier Poincare still are
eSboing through Genoa. The Belgians
have taken a step-in summoning more
troops to the colors-which leads to be-
lief they may back up France in her
attitude towards Germany.
Lloyd George, British spokesman
said, will call for q "show down." All
the allies will be present at the pro-
posed supreme council which will be
held outside the auspices of the con-
ference.
The allied note to Russia, virtually
an ultimatum, was completed today and
will be delivered not later than tomor-
