forcibly-through disablement Of two

ponderance of light cruisers, destroy
ers and air craft to protect the battle
fleet.
This was the opinion vouchsafed by
naval strategists watching the at
tacks, despite the fact that neither
of the two assaults made carried any
element of surprise. The Idaho and
the California, the latter the flagship Of
Admiral Eberle's Pacific fleet. were

Famous Writer 1,
Refers to Valley
In "Post" Story

That the industrial growth of
Los Angeles will continue and be
supported by Jhe development OF
Imperial Valley, is the statement
made BY A. yG.e Arnoll, inansttial
manager of TIE Mos Angeles Cham,
/ Der of Commerce in an interview
with Albert w. Atwood, which is
printed in a recent issue of the Sat
urdav Evening Post as part of an
article on the growth and develop
ment of Southern California.
Mr.. Atwood S article, which : is
very comprehensive, covers the
development of Los Angeles and
Southern California during the last
decade, and gives an excellent view
of the future in the growth of this
section of the state.
In his interview with Atwood,
Mr.. Arnoll was asked how the in
dustrial growth of Los Angeles can
continue,' his questioner seeking to
ascertain what will support an in
dustrial community similar to Pitts
burgh or some Of the larger eastern
cities, with Southern California on
ly ''small fringe on the very
large Mohaye desert.
His answer was to point to the
|. reclamation and development Of I'm
perial Valley as an example Of what
can be done, stating that this val
ley together with other agricultural
districts is sufficiently near to Los
Angeles, and large enough in area,
to support any industrial growth
that the west coast metropolis may
experience in the futlrs.
