far better be intrusted, 1t Is said. to
the patient diplomacy of such COM
mission. The duration of the new
treaty might be fixed at five years. The
points it might include, provided the
forthcoming f1ve-power talks make 1t
possible at all, seem to be these:
All the signatories would agree not
to increase their present armaments,
except as authorized by existing trea-
ties However, when this new treaty
expired, If meanwhile there has been
no new treaty each would be free to do
as it likes. The principle of actual re-
duction by successive stages would be
plainly asserted 1t would be desirable
to agree to en- all-around reduction
Immediately of 80, 20, 10 or even per
cent, but If this proved impractical,
mere general limitation might do to
begin with.
France and Italy would be expected
to reach a naval agreement promptly,
thus completing the London naval
treaty The details of further naval
reductions under the Hoover, the Simon
and the forthcoming Japanese pro-
posals would be left to the permanent
commission.
Chemical warfare would be abolished.
Bombing from the air would be forbid
den. The international civil aviation
cartel for Europe would be abolished or
internationalized. Tanks and heavy
mobile guns would be limited both in
size and in compass.
Other Principles Sought.

adopted, as would also the French sug-
gestion for the transformation Of the
European armies into uniform short
term units but the fixing of actual fig
ures and details would be left to the
permanent commission.
The principle of budgetary limitation
would be adopted. International con-
troll of the private manufacture and
sale Of arms would be accepted in prin-
ciple The Kellogg pact would be sup
plemerted by new general declaration
outlawing the use of force. Due note
would pe taken of the American dec
laration of willingness to consult under
the Kellogg pact.
Details of the complicated European
mutual aid and compulsory arbitration
and security pacts would be left to the
permanent commission.
Within the framework OF tne new
treaty and on the basis of these prin-
ciples Germany would be accorded
equal rights.
All this. from the American view
point, probably would constitute the
maximum now attainable. 1t may be
found necessary to be satisfied with
less There is no apparent disposition
on the American side to be dictatorial
or unconciliatory.
If, however, the five-power talks
should fail to reveal genuine viii to

sonable compromises, it is doubtful If
the United States will be disposed to

Canton Is Building Big Air Force,
Planning to Have 400 Planes by 1885

CANTON.-"Four hundred airplanes
by 1885" is the slogan of the Canton
government In its campaign to build I'D
the defense Of South China. Aviation
bond issues, totaling $15000,000, local
currency (about s3,00o,0o0 United
States have been issued since January
l, and are being sold throughout the
southland and among the wealthy
Chinese overseas.
Cantonese militarists, acting inde-
pendently from the central authorities
at Nanking, have outlined "three-year
plan" for aviation development In
Kwangtung, Kwangsi and Fukien pro-
vinces. 1t provides for the purchase Of
more than 800 new training. combat and
bombing planes, the engagement Of
foreign pilots as instructors and the
construction of airdromes in the prin-
cipal southern cities.
Only 10 Planes at Present.
II the project materializes, the year
1885 should place Canton far ahead of
any other district of China from the
standpoint of preparedness for defend
ing itself from foreign invasion. Canton
at present has about 10 airplanes; by
1885 this number, according to plans,
should reach 400.
Gen. Huang Kwang-yu, commander
OF the air forces Of Canton, and Col.
Hu Han-min, head Of the Aviation
School, both foreign trained pilots, are
energetically devoting themselves to the
realization of this vast program. They
plan shortly to open two new aviation
schools, where more thorough cur

Virtually there is nothing particu ,arly

based wholly on technical work already
done. resolutions already adopted, plans
already submitted and the diplomatic
situation as it actually exists.

time to marx pcsiive results by gen.
eral treaty. The conference has been
sitting nearly a y5ar. Unless results

If nothing positive can be accom-
p,ished until every conceivable arma-
mant and security dispute has been
thoroughly ironed out, it would perhaps
be necessary to wait forever.
But what the American delegation
feels is that with a little good will and
O spirit of mutual compromise, great
deal may be accomplished even now,
leaving the settlement of less important
and more complicated regional problems
to be dealt with gradually by sort of
permanent negotiation within the
framework of a permanent commission
and on the basis of principles here to
be adopted.
What Is Immediately desirable. 1t Is
declared, is to get everybody into some
sort of general treaty. 1t might even be
added that in one senSe any treaty is
better than no treaty, for any treaty
now reached will in any case be merely
a starting point for further future dis
armament moves.
It is accordingly suggested that
sd.ies of new resolutions be voted be-
fore Christmas. The conference would
then terminate to meet again only once
more, after perhaps two months, for
the purpose of formally adopting the
text

The lame duck" sessions, SO called

who are enabled to vote in them, will

traditions, to the machine age. When
Congress was established, it took weeks,
sometimes, for candidates to ascertain
whether they had been elected mem
to Washington Hence the founding
fathers provided q lapse of four months
between the time of their election and

Although the plan entailed keeping

Imperial Valley press., 1932-08-18

farm bureau directors in advocating
this change, in April, 1881, felt that
the district should not continue to
function under a political manage
ment, and they certainly have had
no reason to change their belief
since then. In the meantime we
have seen the district plunge into
financial chaos, its credit destroyed
its obligations defaulted, and at
times, even unable to pay its en-
ployees. A 50-cent water toll was
levied on the already overburdened
farmers. We believe these condi-
tionS were due to considerable
extent to political mismanagement.
In advocating a property quail
fication for irrigation district
voters, we believe we have the sup
port, not only of a vast majority
of property owners, but also a ma
iority of non-property owners. Not
many voters care to vote on mat
ters in which they have no direct
financial interest and upon which
they are not sufficiently informed.
Opposing the property qualification
bill are those who would make po-
litical football out of the Imperial
Irrigation district, those who claim
to control numbers of the floating
vote, which they can trade for ad-
vantage, and all those who are in
terested in seeing the district spend
the taxpayers money freely and
extravagantly.
Everyone having a stake in I'M
perial Valley whether that stake is
in the form of property, of a busi-
ness or of job, is vitally inter-
ested in efficient and business-like
management of the Imperial Irri-
CATION district, for if the district
fails, this country will go back to
the desert in a few months We
do not believe that such an eff
cient and business-like management
can be obtained as long as the dis
trict directors have to depend for
their positions on their ability as.
Vote-getters among voters, many OF
whom are not interested or in
formed as to the best interests of
the district.
1t is to bring about such an i'm
provement in the business affairs
of the district that the farm bu-
reau is working and will continue
to work.
