"A Valley Chamber of Commerce

Two indictments In the news Of the nation re-
sently should impress upon people Of the Valley me
heed for a Valley Chamber Of commerce.
one Of these is the feat Of Corpus Christi in tax
ng a bale Of cotton from the Valley. and moving u
o New York by airplane, getting practically all the
redit for the first bale Of cotton. The bale was
grown at Edcouch.
Another Is the announcement that directors Of the
West Texas Chamber Of Commerce are considering
picking a Valley man as manager CT that organlza-
ton.
with a live Valley Chamber Of Commerce such an
occurrance as the moving Of the first bale OF cotton
out from Corpus Christi. with the subsequent adver-
Using and publicity for that city. could never have
happened. For a Valley Chamber Of miner
would see 10 IL that the Valley received fuH oenelit
from such an event.
Nor would the possibilities along this line be con-
fined in any sense to cotton. A Valley Chamber Of
Commerce would never lose an opportunity TO bring
citrus fruit from this section into the limelight. and
would seek every opportunity TO make known the
wide variety Of produce shipped by this section
The fact that chamber OF commerce men in the
Valley are 50 highly regarded as TO be taken away
hy other sections Of the state. 70 help build up these
regions, is a good indication that the Valley IS miss
ing its opportunities by not organizing at the present
lime a Valley Chamber OF and having the
efforts Of its proved commercial executives for the
advancement Of this section.
J. E. Bell. secretary OF the San Benito Chamber
Of Commerce. president Of the Valley Commercial
Executives Association. and Of the Texas organiza-
ticn. Is being strongly considered as the next mana
ger OF the West Texas Chamber Of ommerc
This is one Of the best chamber Of commerce Jobs
In Texas.
Bell has been secretary at San Benito FOR four
years. and during that time has worked 50 unselfish-
lv for the welfare Of the entire Valley that he has
built up a reputation that appealed to the directors
OF the West Texas Chamber OF mme Such a
man. with the backing Of the Valley as a whole. could
DO wonders for this section as manager Of = Valley
Chamber CT Commerce.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUYlsrER

WASHINGTON. June 24-"Cohen on the tele-
phone
ms phrase often is heard when an international
conference Is convened in Washington. And ID means
that 3. Cohen, interpreter extraordinary. is ready 10
give an almost simultaneous rendition OF speeches be-
ing made In the conference into language the dele
gates can understand.
To see Cohen at work makes an outsider think that
the man is endowed with supernatural powers. But
the interpreter himself saws that his Job Is as easy
as any other.
The P~an-Anerican conferences on arbitration and
Cancellation and on trademarks furnished Cohen one
or the most difficult tasks he ever has had.
The speeches we're in four languages There we're
delegates who spoke nothing but English. There were
those who understood nothing but Spanish. The Bra
lillian delegates knew only Portuguese. And the Hal
t.sns knew nothing but French.
