IN OUR


DIRECTORS OF the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Conservation Dis
trict have been named by Gov.
Sterling. AS expected, the governor
named as the first board the steer
Ing committee Of seven which for
mulated the plans bringing the
district into existence.
The seven directors will meet
next week TO further pursue plans
for bringing the district into actua!
existence IS a political entity.
Election 10 determine II the
people OF the Valley want 70 rati-
fly the creation Of the district will
undoubtedly be called BY the tenn
porary directors.
AT the same election, We will vote
for and elect the first permanent
board TO serve the district.
Enormously headlined as a
master irrigation district, the
district has a great work before it.
Problems OF conservation of the
waters Of the Rio Grande. which
heretofore have been the work OF
George. will be taken care OF BY
the district, which, when created.
will have power Of levying a tax
not TO exceed Sc on the 500 valua-
ton.
The Valley moves on. Slowly per-
haps. but nevertheless surely, we
are getting in a position 10 accom-
plish the work for which many have
labored for many years.
DAUGHTERS OF the American
Revolution on Monday dedicated
what should be a shrine IN the
hearts and minds Of every Texan,
native born Or adopted child OF this
state.
Marking the site OF the battle Of
Resaca de las Palmas. the marker
unveiled yesterday will remind c.
tizens Of both the United States
and OF Mexico that there lies hal
lowed ground. corsecrated by the
blood q brave men VINO fought for
.xhas Ley considered the right.
We like the sentiment expressed
by Col. Glover as he stood on the
ground which his father before
him had trod while in the uniform
OF the United states Army.
NO reason for bitterness 10 fol-
low a fight. Two worthy opponents
a have nothing but respect for
the ability Of each other.
And so with nations.
We have noticed that in time Of
war and following the tine OF war,
chief bitterness seems invariably 70
be displayed by those who were not
actually in the fight.
During the World War. chief
outspoken rancor against Germany
came from those not in uniform.
Men who faced the German on
the field Of battle knew him for q
fighting man. Fighting men ike
fighting men, even when fighting
each other.
And 50. may we OF the Valley
and Of Texas. while paying due
homage 10 those heroes OF Texas
who wrought out a nation. pay
that HOMAGE in such a way as 70
give due credit 70 those ancient
enemies who have grown 10 be our
very close friends.

Boston, Sept 9-A substantial number of New England industrial leaders have expressed agreement with the industrial committee ot the New England council that management and not government is the source from which will come the most effective measures for stabilizing employment" This is the consensus of letters from more than 200 New England business ex- ecutives to the councils industrial committee.
 These letters indicate that indus trialists in all six states are seek ] ing diligently to develop in their own businesses effective measures for employment stabilization in the future and for the maintenance of the highest possible degree of cur rent employment. Their letters disclose no panacea for the pres ent situation, but do indicate much thought and earnest effort on the part of business men to bring about greater employment stability.
 In seeking to develop the attitude of New England business men on current problems the council asked three questions, and the replies, it was announced to-day, are almost unanimous in the affirmative. The three questions are:
 Do you believe that it is the ob- ligation of business to initiate and pursue such policies and practices as will make governmental inter- vention unnecessary in matters
 which business should handle for land by itself?
 "Do you believe that the current
 depression has demonstrated the need for the formulation of plans by management to provide for stability of employment more adequately in the future than in the past?
 "Do you believe that such plans should aim at continuity of em- ployment for the stable forces, as determined by each employer, and should include provision for mak- ing the plans effective?"
 Replies show Increased accept ance of social responsibility by
 management and appreciation of
 the long-range effects on business itself of the maintenance of em- ployment and hence consuming power at the highest possible level ] The replies also stress the assertion
