A SPLENDID REPORT

Imperial Valley is entitled to take great satisfac-
tion from the splendid statement made by the rriga
ticn and reclamation committee of the House of Rep
resentatives in reporting out the SwngJ Johnson bill
and urging that it be acted upon favorably at TINS
session OF Congress.
The statement undoubtedly gives those who
fighting for the bill courage to persevere until the
objective has been achieved.
Further delay is not justified" the committee
declared and explained that every possible effort has
been made, without to obtain unanimous
agreement the states interested IN the develop
ment of the Colorado river
The one obstacle in the way of unanimity is Ari-
zona, which has consistently and obstnately refused
to enter the pact agreeable to the other states Arl
zona's rights will not be injured by the terms of the
bill, the committee asserts
This statement is cause for further qualification
to California supporters of the BILL and particularly
to residents of Imperial Valley. 1t justlfles Cali
fornas position IN respect to development OF the oolo
RADIO and declares to the world that that position is
just one.
Only after the committee had held extensive hear
ngs, in which Arizonas claims were ably champloned
by her representatives, the decision given.
The members of the committee investigated every
angle of the entire project investigated them exhaust
ively and then declared that the SwngJ ohnson bill
is the only practical means offered for turning the
Colorado from dangerous asset into safe one Arl-
cannot justly and honestly claim that the COM
nittees findings are unfair to her.
And the applies to the other opponents of
the BILL best defined the power interests The bill
has been framed the committees report states that
be 'monopolized by any one agency, 1t adds, The
bill contemplates that the power will be fairly and
equitably distributed among the various agencies ap
plying therefor thus nsurng the widest and falrest
distribution of the benefits
This opinion too reached only after the COM
mittee had given the power interests every possible
chance to be heard in behalf Of their claims.
The only two real objections to the SwingJ ohnson
bill have been the refusal of Arizona to accept the
Santa Fe pact and the desire of the power interests
to reap the benefits offered by developing the
es of the Colorado river. These objections have
been found untenable
1t behooves the House of Representatives to accept
the recommendation of its committee and pass
the bill which provides for the future of hundreds Of
thousands Of American citizens
There is still hard fight ahead, not only on the
floor of the House but in the senate committee and
the floor of that body Bitter opposition must yet be
overcome nevertheless are justified in holding to
the belief that there enough unselfish, farseeng
in the Congress of the United States, to heed the
committees recommendation and heed it at this
sion.

GENTLEMEN-AND GENTLEMEN

He is a negro He is old and the clothing he wore
as he stood at First and Main streets watching a
funeral was tattered and torn. His ragged hat was
clasped across his breast he stood there paying
borne to the grave man whom he possibly had not
even known. The negro was gentleman though the
world may not hail him as such.
On the opposite corner stood white man. He
was well, if not eXpensively dressed. He putted
cigar out of the corner of his mouth his hands were
few coins. His hat cooked jauny on the side of
his head and what cared he if hearse passing BY
Was he gentleman?
Further on two negro boys left the East Side
school. They dressed in overas, but as they
approached the hearse in which lay the remains of one
who made distinction in his heart between black
man and white their hats off, were they re-
placed until the hearse had passed They, too, were
little gentlemen.
And lust beyond them, leaning aziy against
telegraph pole, young, white, American gazed lam
guidly at the passing cortege Did he show any sign
of respect? Oh 1t was Just funeral TO him. w as
he a gentleman?
Previous to this and further west Main street
a man plainly of Greek BIRTH stood with his hat off
and head bowed beyond him at corner several Jap
anese also made haste to their hats while hard
ly Mexican encountered on the way to the cemetery
but who showed at least outward mark of respect
Not all Americans were like those mentioned a
bove Thank heaven for that, but altogether too many
of them showed entire absence of that respect which
is more indicative of good breeding than white collar
or soft hands
These are not imaginary incidents. They were
actual happenings witnessed not only by the writer,
but by local attorney and a foreign gentleman, and
in answer TO comment by the latter whose politenesS
prevented him from expressing what ne must have
really thought the attorney and the writer could only
blush and stammer out poor excuse for the most
ill-mannered people on earth-"We Americans"
