THE FILIPINO BILL

FATE of Filipino independence, turned
L down by President Hoover, and ap-
proved by the house of representatives
over his veto, now rests with the senate,
the course of whose action cannot be
predicted with certainty.
In rejecting the independence bill,
the President declared he could not ac-
cept it because of opposition to it upon
moral. economic and international
grounds. He urged postponement of a
plebiscite for Is or 20 years, widening
the powers of the Filipino government
but with full reserve of power for the
United States, restriction of Filipino i'm
migration agreement on trade relations
between the Philippines and the United
States prior to the plebiscite and an
nouncement to the world before the pie
biscite regarding withdrawal of United
States forces from the islands.
The President takes the stand that in
assuming authority over the Philippines
in 1898, we accepted certain RESPONSE
biities toward the islands and to the rest
of the world, which have not been full
filled, and that the bill he rejected does
not fulfill them.
Freedom for the Filipinos at this time,
he cOlll6IuS, WOuIu pIOJtCl Hloie ShaOo
into a world already beset by instabil-
ity."
He further stated that the economic
life of the Philippines now and for many
years to come, depends upon favored
trade with the United States and that
the proposed bill would endanger the
financial system of the islands.
1t is quite likely that the Presidents
action will be severely criticized in the
United States and by some Filipinos,
and there is the possibility that the SEN
ate may reject his stand thereby grant
ing freedom to the islands.
But it cannot be denied that the stand
he has taken is based on broad, far-see-
ing, humanitarian lines, with full recog-
milton of what moral responsibility to
people and to the world means. 1t is
highly debatable that those who see the
other side of the argument, whether
here or in the Philippines, are inspired
by motives as unquestionable as are the
Presidents.

to land on the island to keep from

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
JUVENILE CRIME

YESTERDAYS issue of The Press car
ried the annual report of the county
probation officer, giving some interest
ing, not to say surprising information on
juvenile crime in the county.
A total of 3S2 juvenile cases came to
the attention of the probation officer
during the year, or better than one a
day. OF this total, 296 were handled
outside of the juvenile court and sc were
of sufficient seriousness to be brought
into court.
AT the start of the year covered by the
report there were 1873 juveniles listed as
wards of the court The close of the
year saw the number increased to 156.
Perhaps total of 3S2 juvenile cases
for a community of 10000 persons, is
not an alarming figure, but at the same
time it is not desirable condition.
1t is not to be considered that the $50
juveniles are completely bad or consti-
tute menace to society. Many of them
came to the attention of the authorities
through what might be termed nothing
worse than juvenile mischievousness. At
the same time there were numerous cases
of real criminal activity embracing ma
ior crimes
Laxity in parental supervision and a
dearth of facilities for proper recrea-
ton, can be designated as leading reas-
ons for juvenile delinquency. Probation
cases frequently reveal an alarming ig-
norance on the part of parents relative
to the activities of their children. The
youngsters are permitted to come and go
as they please, when they please and
where they please without any attention
being shown regarding their companions
or the places they visit.
Those of US who have come from older
settled communities, cannot avoid COM
pairing juvenile recreational facilities
here with those which we knew else
where. The comparison is not to lmpe-
rial Valleys advantage. 1t is woefully
lacking in such facilities which in many
quarters are considered as non-essential.
With these two conditions existing, it
is not surprising that juvenile cases
amount to more than one day The
real surprise is that there are not more
of them.
A stricter parental supervision and
greater wholesome recreational facilities
would cut down the juvenile dellnquen-
cy to a considerable degree.

gily," said Jimmie But I'm sure
you will see Bunty again for I think
we are going to be rescued from
this island"
II hope So" sighed the rabbit
gentleman, But first we must find
out what made the noise and then
we must get something to eat. We
have a fire to warm us but we
need food
I'VE surely do" said Jimmie the
duck. But maybe this noise was
rescue noise, Uncle Wiggily. Tell
me-" he went on as they stood near
the trees, what kind of a noise
does a rescue make?"
When you are shipwrecked on
an island with broken ice and cold
water all around you," said the
rabbit gentleman, rescue noises
may be of many kinds. You might
hear an airpIane sailing over head
TO save us, or it might be a steam
/ boat coming or anything like that. y
do you think noise like 'peer
peep" could be a rescue noise?'
/ asked the duck boy.
ut might said Uncle Wiggily
Anyhow, I think the peep peep
noise wasn't made by any Of the
Bad Chaps, SO I think it will be
safe TO go closer TO the trees to
try TO find out what made the
