ALLISON ON
STAND HERE

Indicating an extended battle
which will take the case into the
latter part of the week, counsel
continued today to debate techni-
calities and take evidence in the
trial of the suit to validate the ALL
American canal contract.
j. G. Allison, former engineer for
the Imperial Irrigation District, oc-
cupied the witness stand during
most of the morning session today
He was called as a witness for the
Coachella Valley County Water dis
trict and Charles Malan, who are
opposing valuation of the con-
tract.
, Allison's testimony, as well as
the evidence given by other recent
witnesses, deals with the amount
of possible damages to be incurred
by construction of the All-Ameri-
can canal, to property bordering
the Colorado river.
This is of Importance in the suit
because of the contention by oppo-
sition forces that the Imperial Ir-
rigation district did not state the
maximum cost of construction in
the published notice of election to
verify the contract, nor on the bal
lots for the election.
Allison was called by those op-
posing valuation in an effort to
prove that lands adjacent to the
Colorado river, and especially Palo
Verde valley, would be consider
ably damaged by construction of
dam at the intake of the proposed
canal.

STATE PREPARES LEGISLATION
TO REGULATE SALE OF BEER

SACRAMENTO, March 81. W.P)
First move to regulate the sale of
beer in California was taken today
with the introduction of a compre-
1enSIVe bill in the lower house by
AsSemblyman Frederick Peterson,
Burlingame.
Wide powers would be conferred
upon city councils and boards of
supervisors to govern the sale of
low alcoholic beverages"
Provisions of the measure in
clude'
l. City councils would be licenS-
ing board for incorporated areas;
supervisors for unincorporated ar
cas-.
2. "On Sale" and "Off Sale" Ii
censes would be issued-the former
to apply to the sale of beer and
other low alcoholic beverages with
meals only; the latter would auth
orize sale il. original packages only
for consumption off the premises.
3. An application fee of 50 would
he charged. 'Off Sales" licenses
would be $50 annually; ION Sale"
S25.
4. Licensing boards would be Civ
en- wide powers to suspend licenses.
No person convicted of liquor
violation or a felony could be grant
ed license.
5. The measure would be contin-
gent on the passing of the beer bill
by congress.
6. Sale of beer and other bever-
ages of like alcoholic content to
persons under l8 years OF age
would be banned.
Peterson pointed out that his bill
Imperial Valley press., 1933-03-21

was primarily a regulation rather
than revenue measure.
The legislative counsel bureau
informed Peterson that there might
be some question of the constitu-
tionality of the measure. 1t was
pointed out that beer, under terms
of the bill now before congress,
would be legally mountaineering
The counsel bureau explained the
question arises as to the legislatures
power to control sale of low alco-
holic beverages and simultaneously
exclude sale control to such bever-
ages as Coca Cola and root beer.
"We submit" the counsel bureau
stated in a communication to Pet
erson, that even though congress
has defined such beverages as nom
Intoxicating, the fact they do con-
tain alcohol would seem to be the
reasonable basis for classification
as compared with other beverages
and drinks which do not contain
alcohol"
A move to coordinate the work
of the various legislative commit
tees working on state budget mat
terS was taken by the senate fin
ance committee today when it
passed a resolution authorizing the
appointment of a subcommittee Of
five to work with a similar sub
committee of the assembly ways
and means committee.
This action was considered neces-
sary when 1t was pointed out that
the two financial committees in
addition to the senate fact finding
group, were working independently
on the same subject and that their
findings probably would clash un-
less they worked together.

Mr.. Roosevelt said the type of

the prevention of great present

Of creating future national wealth."
This" he said, sis brought

today of vast damage caused by
floods on the Ohio and other riv-

Mr.. Roosevelt said he was asking

"The use of unobligated funds,

Only Method to Accomplish

Senator Pittman Democrat Of Ne

istration imitation program will "bene-
fit every one" and asserted in addition
that imitation lis the only method that
will accomplish the restoration of pros
perity."
Discussing controlled" imitation, Pitt
man said the program contemplated is
essentially relation" or expansion OF
our currencies and our credits to the
point where they existed on the average
prior to 1880.
I'VE must remember" he said, ain
speaking OF relation, or controlled in
f1ation, that there has been a tremen-
dous defiation in circulating medium,
credits and values since 1929.
las far as currencies are concerned,
there is as large a quantity of cur
rencies in the United States as there
was prior to 1880. but such currencies
are not circulating in trade and COM
merce. They are not in the possession
of the people. They are locked up in
the banks Of the country in the form
Of capital and deposits.
Banks have been refusing to lend
money because loans were not safe, so
they claimed, while commodity values
and other values were decreasing and
unemployment was increasing.
I'VE have attempted. through every
form of legislation. not only to empower
the banks to lend money, but to in
duce them to make loans for the pur-
pose of stopping the disastrous liquida-
ton. and also to enable self hquidating
projects to be constructed All these
efforts, and all of these schemes and
devices, and all Of this legislation, have
failed to accomplish the purpose for
which they were intended"

ROME, April RECONCILIATION, or a,

was termed essential In a resolution
voted today at the closing session of the
interparliamentary commercial confer
ence.
The delegates Of the % participant
ing nations, considering means of solv-
ing the world depression, also urged
an international accord for the i'm
mediate easing of restrictions on for
eign exchange operations and inter-
national commerce, with a view to an
early abolition.
Insisting upon the necessity Of an
economic disarmament, the conferees
pleaded for liberal spirit in the nego-
tiations of commercial accords, holding
that departure from ultra protection
ist tariff policies is most necessary.
The adoption of financial and COM
mercial policies calculated to maintain
equal price levels was recommended, as
well as enactment of measures to re-
store a proper proportion between
wholesale and retail prices
Finally, conferences between debtors
and creditors were advised to find a
means to permit debtors in countries
where values of prime materials have
collapsed to pay private debts in &C
cordance with possibilities
Reduction or cancellation of debts
mentioned in the first resolution was
extended to include all government
debts not contracted for productive pur-

FOREIGN BALANCES
IN AMERICA SHRINK
Position of U. s. Held Strong
Enough TO Miss Injury by
Further Drains.

The Commerce Department said yes
terday foreign short-term capital bal
ances in the United States have reached
virtually "a working minimum" at
which, with or without gold embargo,
Americas position could not be i'm
paired seriously by further drains.
As a result Of the unprecedented with
drawal of short-term funds during 1881
and 1882, the department pointed out,
this country had become an interna-
tional creditor on short-term capital
for the first time in years.
On answers to questionnaires sent 1855
banking institutions engaged in interna-
partment estimated the net outflow Of
States in 1882 at 1911 900 900, follow
ing net Withdrawals of $709, 100000 in
1881.
This brought short-term capital in
America due to foreigners to S913,000,-
900 at the end of the year, and Com
merce Department officials estimated
the figures were further reduced to
S600,000,00 before President Roose-
velt's embargo proclamation March S.
The department said this represented
mostly working capital of commercial
institutions, virtually all the short-term
credits of Europe's central banks hav-
ing been called home during the with
drawal movement
The $500, 900, 900 figure contrasts
sharply with the more than three bill
lion dollars in short-term credits held
by foreign accounts at the peak in
1929, it was pointed out.
