The crusial period is coming in
about week or ten days when thl
committee reassembles for the first
time. The real controversial sub
jects will then come up. The Amel
leans are prepared then to ask what
the allies really want-destruct
of Germany so it won't ever be a
military menace or reconstruction
of Germany SO that it can be eco.
nomically sound and pay repair l.
tions.
The allies can't have it both ways.
If they want payments then this
will involve allowing Germany t.
be an economic whole. This means
reopening of the Ruhr question
and Rhineland.
If the allies follow the Ameri-
can lead an agreement will b.
reached which will mean that at
last Geramny will go to work and
pay.
If not, the Americans expect
frankly to tell why they failed.
Such an agreement would prob
ably involve the loan of American
money in which case it would be
provided that this loan would have
precedence over allies claims.
The commission will soon com
plete its report on the fight OF
German capital and will give a fig.
ure which will be very close to exatt
1t will be smaller than the French
Gained and larger than the Get-
mans admitted.
1t shows Americans were the
prize boobs of the world investing
dollars in falling German currency
The commission probably won't
recommend any kind Of seizure OF
legislation.
It's members think that the best
way to get German capital back to
Germany is to produce stable bust
ness conditions in Germany which
will induce capital to go back of its
own accord.

DR.. ]. w. Payne, county health

the services of three physicians who

These men will reach this section
about March Is and DR., Darling
will assign them to the work OF
making a malaria. or anti-mosquito

will be without cost to local parties,

progressing satisfactorily, but with
added services of these three ex-

progress can be made to warrant
the hope that malaria throughout
the county, even in the remotest

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Feb. 22.-Thanks to the
Americans on the Preparations Con-
mission the latest conference on the
subject will be a humping success
or result in tremendous bust-up
in which the Americans will tell the
world that the French don't really
want settlement.
Chances at present are all for
success because the French are Gag
er to settle and they also are more
tolerant due to the fact that the
franc is still slumping despite all
efforts to stabilize it. They real
ize now that maybe the Germans
didn't want the mark to go to
pieces either.
In American work General
Charles G. Dawes has been the
picturesque figure but Owen Young
has been the real power by reason
of his keen business sense and driV-

The Americans have realized thai
the Europeans had attended 16

BRYAN AND THE FLIVVER KING

W. J. Bryan is about nOn-partsan any of
the partisans, yet he possesses certain aptitude in
formulating partisan alibs that have stood him in
good stead during all the years of his political leader
ship Else how could he have received the three
presidential nominations and led his cohorts such
glorious defeats?
Concerning the FIivver Kings coming out for
Coolidge Mr.. Bryan ventures to say he first impress
sion will probably be favorable to President Coolidges
candidacy but the reaction is likely to be damaging
blow to the President" Why the latter, you ask?
Well, Mr. Bryan kindly furnishes the answer at
Because" he says, Mr.. Ford loses his prominence
when he joins with the rest of the big business men in
support of a reactionary candidate"
The public has dealt with Mr. Bryan and his po-
ltca ambitions too long not to accord him sub
stantial weight and influence But may not the organ

JOBS FOR DOBBTN

In spite of widespread interest in the victories and
defeats of Spark Plug that horse hero Of the comic
sections there has been growing popular belief that
the horse its last legs, to speak and would
within century or so be found only in museums,
along with the dnosaur and other extinct creatures.
Now, however, less authorities than the
retary of the American horse association and pro-
fessor of paleontoogy at large university for
ward to aver that the horse will live and thrive and be
useful as long as the human endures
The principal economy of the horse remains
challenged, they say, for many purposes. Tractors,
motor cars and other modern machinery may have
their place in the general scheme of things But they
will never thought for time, displace the
horse completely.
1t is true that there more horses than the
country now but there not enough horses for
certain specific jobs So It becomes chiefly matter of
adjustment and efficiency, eliminating the unfit and

RANCHER TELLS
CANAL OPINION
Says All-American Pro-
ject May Defeat
Boulder Dam

Joseph Simons, of Los Angeles
and the Imperial Valley, one of the
big ranchers in the Brawley-We Vest
morland section, was in San Ber-
nardino recently, en- route to
the valley, spending the night
at the Hotel Stewart. Years
ago Mr.. Simons was prominent in
the politics OF Los Angeles and
Southern California, but now he has
become one of those "dirt farmers
that more or less is said about in
the papers, although his voice does
not compare to that of Senator
Mangus johnson, nor his ideas
either, so far as a San Berrardino
Sun reporter WAS able to discover.
But he has some positive and
rather original notions ON subjects
now before the public, particularly
with reference to the Colorado
River, and he says that if the all
American canal is insisted on rs a
part of the Boulder Canyon dam
bill introduced by Senator johnson
and Congressman Swing, it will re-
suit in the defeat of the entire
measure.
"Imperial Valley has its troubles,
many of them, but perhaps the
worst is the spectcr of possible
flood that will destroy us, and moth
ing but thesBoulder Canyon dam or
some other dam will relieve us of
that danger. We must have it to
insure our future" said Mr.. Simons.
but when the all-American canal
is attached as a rider on the dam
| bill, it simply loads it down and |
do not hesitate to say that the in
terests urging the canal would be
| quite as well pleased to see the
! entire measure defeated.
Says Interests Are Selfish
"There are a lot of land and cor.
porate interests on both sides of the
international boundary whose lands
can only be irrigated by means Of
the all-Anerican canal. They care
for nothing else. Their interest is
speculative. If they get the canal,
they make it big They are willing
to sacrifice anything to bring taat
about, and by means Of powerful
allies they are able to make it APP
pear that the land owners of the
Imperial Valley are likewise inter
ested in the all-American canal,
when as a matter Of fact the farm
ers are interested only in dam that
will check the floods, that will also
| develop power, some Of which will
come into the valley, and the most
of it come into other parts of
Southern California, and last If all,
in II reduction Of taxes, which our
district scheme makes tremendously
heavy. The all-American canal
means nothing at all to them.
But it means the defeat Of the
Boulder Canyon dam measure. Sec
rotary Hoover, in a public address
in the valley last year, made that
explicit statement. He told us that
we might get Congress to stand for
the construction Of the dam, but
that it would not authorize the con
struction Of this canal. But they
! paid no attention to Hoover. Unless
Southern California wakes up, the
bill will be defeated, we will get no
dam, and the Imperial Valley will
continue 10 face its ancient enemy,
the unchecked Colorado River.
