Speed Emphasized
In Workers Program
Great Haste Needed If 100000 Men Are to Return to
Jobs By December Is

for the $500, 100000 worth of civil,
works projects:
THAT projects must be to the
public's advantage.
2.-That projects be started i'm
mediately.
Hopkins said it was unthink-
able that politics or graft could en-
ter the program, which he called
one of the most inspiring things
President Roosevelt yet has done.
Hopkins urged his listeners
when they go home to make plans
not to forget women, nor to ig-
more the skilled workers, the archi-
tects. and the craftsmen who need
work just as badly as unskilled
labor.
He said that about 100000
families of 100000 people re-
ceived relief last winter. In Sep
TENDER only 100000 families or
100000 people were on relief
rolls. The civil works project, he
said, should cut this figure by
more than half.
'If we're talking about putting
100000 men to work by Dec. is
we've got to step on it," he said.
"It Is our intention to put the re-
sponsibility fcS approving projects
on the state civil works commits
sions. If they make too many mis-
takes we'll fire them. CWA funds
can be used for materials as well
as for wages but local communi-
ties have got to put up their money
too.
Were going through with this,
no matter what happens, but the
program will be fully successful
only when we get complete cooper

FRANCE OFFERED
GERMANY PEACE
OR MAILED FIST
Premier Sarraut Backed
By His Deputies States
French Side
BY LAMAR MIDDLETON

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
Paris, Nov 15-France offered
Nazi Germany today its choice be-
tween a friendly hand and a mailed
fist.
Premier Albert Sarraut, fighting
for the governments life, emerged
triumphant from a chamber of dep
uties debate with a vote of con-
fidence of 395 to 1914 after his dec
laration that:
France will not reduce her
armament by man or gun until
she has the strictest guarantee of
security.
2-Despite German objections.
France will continue to insist on a
system Of permanent arms control.
France will not engage in d.
rect negotiations with Germany to
obtain her re-entrance to the
League of Nations and disarma-
ment conference but will insist on
staunchest adherence to the frame
work of the league.
France is prepared to meet
with arms any attempt to enforce
a foreign will upon her.
"Let us be frank" said Sarraut
in his impassioned speech. I'VE
shall not disarm except under GER
tain conditions ana under definite
guarantees. 81.
II hope that Germany returns to
the league. 1 hope she signs a dis
armament treaty.
1--WE are ready to say to Ger
many: You claim a desire for
peace, SO does France. We have
no wish to humiliate you or to
threaten you. We are not indiifer-
ent to the sufferings Of the Ger
man people =, though Germany's
trade balance is more favorable
than is ours. But France demands
of you a sincerity equal to hers "
The speech was considered a
reply to the German plebiscite on
withdrawal from the League of
Nations, and, by offering no conces-
sion to those Germans who want
to rearm themselves unless France
disarms, served to quiet wide fears
of a new German menace. SIC.

RULING
ON DEMURRERS
IN CANAL CASE

Attorneys for the Coachella VAL

Charles Malan today took up the
task of presenting before Judge
Emmett H. Wilson evidence to SUBJ
stantiate their opposition to the
validation of the All-American
canal contract, sought in an ac-
tion brought by the Imperial Ir-
rigation district.
After F.. H. McIiver, secretary OF
the Imperial district, and Charles
Malan, who opposes valuation,
were called to the witness stand,
the court adjourned just before
11:30, to convene again at 1870 this
afternoon for arguments by attor-
neys.
Testimony will be resumed to-
morrow morning, when an import
ant witness who was unable to be
present today will be summoned by
those opposing valuation.
Legal arguments play most i'm
portant part in this trial, since 1t
is primarily to iron out legal diff
fculties that the valuation suit
was filed. Witnesses, for the most
part, are merely necessary details
incident to the arguments.
Judge Wilson had not ruled to-
day on demurrers, submitted to him
late last week after several days OF

he wanted to kill all presidents,
was put to death in the electric
chair at state prison here today for
the murder of Mayor Anton j.
Cermack of Chicago, whom he shot
while attempting to assassinate
