William c. Bullitt, TO whom Lloyd
George once referred as lust a
schoolboy" probably will play an
important part in the Russian rec
ognition negotiations here.
Bullitt, the well dressed hand
some special assistant to Secretary
of State Hull was in or the birth
of the Soviet republic. He was one
OF the first skilled diplomats to
come out OF that country during
the Kerensky upset and predict
that the BolsheVik regrime was
there TO stay. Few would believe
him at the time.
Bullitt was in Paris with Presi-
dent Wilson'S staff of advisers
when dispatched to Russia with
Lincoln Steffens to bring back the
real low down" on what was hap
pening in northern Europe.
Both came back with a report

HARNONY NEEDED HERE

City officials of the valley have
formed the Imperial County League of
Municipalities, the stated object of which
is to work together to advance the cause
of local projects principally through
cooperation and coordination with the
California League of Municipalities.
It should be the hope of all, that the
operation of the league will be another
means of bringing out harmony between
the various municipalities in the valley,
and doubtless it will have that effect.
Men who band together in an undertak-
ing such as the league, open the way for
a common ground on which to solve and
settle disagreements which may arise.
The Associated Chambers of Com
merce has done much to promote valley
wide harmony However, its very nature
prevents it from taking an active part in
political matters-a fact which has en-
abled it to be of great service to the en-
tire valley.
It may be that the League also is pre-
vented from discussing or acting upon
political matters. Even should this be
true, it should not prevent the various
city officials from discussing, informally,
matters of political nature.
Whatever rules there may be which
will limit the activities of the League, it
should be an excellent factor in foster
ing that which Imperial Valley needs
more than anything else-harmony.
We are assured our two biggest prof.
ects-Boulder dam and the All-Anleri-
can canal. The fight for them has split
the valley into factions for over two de-
cades. Now that they are to be realized,
the strife of the past should be forgot
ten and all sections of the valley and the
individuals composing them, should be
able to work together for the good of the
entire community
This does not mean that wholesome
inter-sectional rivalry should be dropped.
Far from it. But inter-sectional preju-
dices and misunderstanding should not
be permitted to keep the valley in per-
petual turmoil
After all, there is no difference in any
of US. We may live in El Centro, Braw-
ley, Heber, inland or Mesquite Lake, but
We are all valley residents What bene-
tits one community is certain, in the long
run, to benefit all Of US.
We can afford now to give little more
time and effort to supporting such or
ganizations as the Associated Chambers
OF Commerce, the League Of Municipali-
ties, service clubs, individual chambers
of commerce and any activity which has
the good of the valley as its objective.
We, should continue to take our politics
seriously, but once the issue has been de-
cided, all of Us should be good sports

Uncle Wiggily hoped along and

felt sleepy. He found a soft bed OF
leaves and, as Mr.. TWistytail had
done, Mr.. Longears took off his
black coat and folded it on a log SO
he would not crease it. Then the
rabbit slept.
And as he slept along flew many
Blue Jay birds. They had heard
what Uncle Wiggily said about
wanting blue coat, but not being
able TO get it, SO one Blue Jay said:
We'll make Uncle Wiggily a blue
coat?'
How can we?' asked another
bird.

DRINK ALL YOU WANT

There has been more concern eX-
pressed by people outside Imperial VAL
ley over the danger of drinking Colo
RADIO river water than there ever has been
by those who have used it for years,
nevertheless the report of the state board
of health, praising El Centre city water,
should relieve whatever doubt might
exist locally in this connection.
The report states that out of 197 SAM
piles of FL Centro water examined by the
state board of health, none was found to
show any contamination.
Objections to drinking Colorado river
water have been made chiefly by oppo-
nents of the Metropolitan Water District
aqueduct, who seized upon this unfair
method Of fighting the project. 1t is
purely a political subterfuge and is with
out any basis of truth.
The objectors asserted that Colorado
river water produces 'mottled teeth,
due to chemical substances in the water.
All instances where such condition eX-
listed have been traced back to some cause
other than Colorado river water. Ger
tainly if the contention were true evi-
dence of "mottled teeth" should be fre-
quent in the valley where the water has
been used for drinking purposes for over
80 years.
El Centro has every reason to be proud
of its water supply and residents should
have no hesitancy in using it freely. A
comparison with the water of any other
small community in the country will not
place the local product in bad light.
