Two Courses Open
London'S usually well informed
sources believed that two courses
were open to the British govern

That the one delivered Sunday was
misinterpreted; the second, outright
default.
The case for misinterpretation was
based on the grounds that the
British suggestion that the De-
cember payment be taken into ac-
count on a final settlement was omen
to dual Interpretation.
One Interpretation was the
arbitrary implication that Britain
considered the debt funding agree
ment with the United States
terminated, and that the December
payment will constitute the first in
stallment under new agreement.
Two Interpretations
The second Interpretation was
that Britain, in view of Europe's
anticipation of new debt funding
agreements, considers that the De-
cember payment, although the last
under the existing agreement.
should become retroactive in the
event of new agreement.
The second Interpretation would
mean that Britain would seek to
protect herself against default by
any European nations on their debt

ANNOUNCEMENT BY
WALTER c. SMITH

To my friends and voters:
In spite of the fact that | feel |
was double crossed in the filing
of my Nomination Certificate
for the Office of County Attor-
ney, and the Attorney General
ruled me off the ballot, by re-
versing an opinion rendered by
his Office that | should be put
on the ballot, | am still a nom
partisan candidate for county
attorney, and believe that there
are enough voters in Pinal co un-
ty, who believe in fair play and
a square deal, that want a
change in that Office to write
my name in on the ballot and
vote for me, which is a simple
procedure; that is when you
get your ballot on election day,
move to the last column on the
ballot which is the non-partisan
column, and in the place for
county attorney, you will find a
blank line just under the name
that is printed on the ballot,
all you have to do is write
Walter c.. Smith in on that
blank, and make the cross in
the square, thus Walter G
Smith X written and marked,
will be vote for me, and | will
surely thank you for the vote
and endeayor to fill the Office
in such a way as to warrant

DEVELOPMENT OF
indian LAND TO
BE CONSIDERED
10000 Additional Acres
of Indian Land May
Be Irrigated

Officials of the U. S. Indian
service will be at Sacaton this
week to decide whether or not
the department shall approve
of the addition of 10000 acres
of Indian lands to the develop
ment of the Pimas now operat-
ing under the San Carlos Irriga-
tion and Drainage project, ac-
cording to Rev. Dirk Lay, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church
at Sacaton.
Two different locations for
the possible new developments
are under consideration, it is
said. One section of about 10,-
900 acres that lies across the
Gila river toward Chandler, and
an area of some 10000 acres on
this side and nearer to Casa
Grande, will be viewed, and the
possibilities of the two compared
Mr.. Lay expressed the opinion
that if the Indian department
officials could be convinced that
the Pimas would cultivate the
land. they would approve con-
construction of canals to the
10000 acres on the reservation
near Casa Grande. The land
on this side is more fertile, he
said.
About $4,000 acres of the au-
thorized $4,000 Indian lands un-
der the project are now in culti-
vation, and there is no doubt
that the new land would be cul-
tivated and add greatly to the
resources of this section if the
development is authorized, Mr..
Lay stated.---Casa Grande Dis
