IRAFFICSQU
TO TIGHTEN UP
ON TRUCKMEN

Declaring war against truck driv-
ers who directly violate state traf-
fic laws Captain A. F .Oswalt of
the California Highway Patrol to-
day announced that his officers
have been instructed to draw strin-
gent lines of enforcement about
trucks plying Imperial county high
ways.
Numerous complaints of trucks
and their drivers hogging the high
ways, cutting in, speeding, over
loading, failing to stop at railroad
crossings, following too closely and
committing other traffic violations,
resulted in action by the traffic
office.
Especially will the Los Angeles
highway be watched for these law
violators, said Captain Oswalt He
has instructed Walter NJ. Walsh,
state patrolman stationed at Braw-
ley, to a keep a close watch on
trucks.
I'VE can do nothing without CO.
operation of the public however" !"
said Captain OsWalt He asked
that motorists take numbers of
trucks violating state laws, and re-
port them to the traffic office.
Drivers and owners will be pros
ecuted, asserted Oswalt.
Captain Oswalt cited 10 arrests
OF truck driver during the past week
as concrete evidence of the cam
paign now under way. During the
last month "a truck drivers were
cited for traffic violations, he de-
clared

CYPRUS CONTINUES
TOREST|ST BRITISH
Washington Attorney Says
Natives Press for Grecian
Rule.

The efforts Of Great Britain to hold
the Island of Cyprus In the face of
strong native feeling that It should
once more be under Grecian rule ARE
far from being successful" declared
Soterios Nicholson, Washington at
torney and publisher, in an interview
yesterday on the recent rebellion curbed
by British troops on the ancient is
land
Nicholson said that when the Greek
Orthodox Archbishop of Cyprus pro-
claimed the island united to Greece on
the ground that the inhabitants pre-
ferred Grecian to British rule, he mere
ly voiced a feeling which was, and
is, shared by the vast majority of the
inhabitants OF Cyprus.
Unless Britain takes stems looking
to the ultimate transference of Cyprus
to the mother country. the Cyprians
win continue their agitation for re-
annexation and this VIII place England
in the further embarrassing position
of holding an entire country against
the win of the vast majority of its
inhabitants" he asserted.
Nicholson expressed the opinion that
the recent revolution was ill-timed and
not sufficiently organized to guarantee
any measure OF success. He said the
best solution to the whole problem
would be for Great Britain voluntarily
to relinquish her sovereignty over
Cyprus.
For centuries untold, Nicholson ex-
planned, "the island population has been
predominantly Greek, and although
the sovereignty of Cyprus has been
held by dozen countries during those
centuries, the feeling has always strong
ly remained Greek

on several scenes which cleverly
elaborate the reckless activities OF
irresponsible opponents of the prac-

urises turn on the discovery that
veral persons who have been
c1,sdited with no serious purposes
are really human and can be
touched by the things that mold the
lives of more sober circles. 1t is
probable that the real interest In
the film Is produced by the fact that
when the story Is completed the
ranks of the gold diggers have been
depleted. proving to those who feel
there are such possibilities that the
occupation has no permanent
character. On the other hand, it Is
unlikely u ct the rewards enjoyed

says he does not agree with Roger Bah
sons prediction the farmer, always the
first hit, will be the first to recover
this Summer"
Il am not so sure Of that" Mr.. Legge
said on visit here last night. in
1921 the farmer was slower in coming
back than other lines of industry.
But" he added. II am more hopeful
for him this time. We must not over
look the fact this Nation is growing
more seH-contained We are consuIr-
ing more of what we produce.
In the past we have depended upon
export markets for our staple crops.
We have been in bad way, more or
less, since the war, with peak produce
tons of agricultural crops all over the
world.
Wheat. of course, is the worst of the
lot. Cotton's distress appears to be
more temporary
The fundamental principles to be
remembered in growing these staple
crops are that after all the supply must
be adjusted to the demand. This lesson
never has been fully accepted by the
