THE CONFERENCE GOES on

IT BEGINS to look as though Mr.
Hearst, Mr.. Rogers and others who
have perpetual fear that every Ameri-
can diplomatic delegation sent to Eur
ope forgets its Americanism and is out
smarted by European diplomats, are
doomed to disappointment.
The United States delegation to the
world economic conference at London
has managed TO maintain an even keel,
even though it wobbled in places, and,
backed by President who means what
he says, has held fast to its program.
Threatened with complete collapse
when the United States flatly refused to
agree to stabilization of the dollar the
conference voted yesterday to continue
its deliberations, at least on matters
other than the worlds monetary situa-
tion.
1t may be conceded that America could
not have won its point without the de-
termined support of England and Can
ada, but that support would not have
been Forthcoming had the American del
egation acceeded to the demand for sta
bii2ation Had this latter happened,
England and Canada would have ac-
quiesced in the arrangement When
they realized that President Roosevelt
was not to be bluffed out they preferred
TO cast their lot with the United States
and against the gold" nations of Eur
ope. led by France.
Actual accomplishments of the con-
ference are still to be developed. The
present is a time for hoping that the rep
resentatives of the various nations can
make some headway on the troublesome
Z 4, o1 f1.aH
numerous other economic ills of the
world.
If these hopes are fulfilled, we can give
thanks. If not, we can find consolation
in the viewpoint taken by President
Roosevelt-that our major problem is
not curing or attempting to cure the
troubles of the world, but to place the
United States of America back on pros
perity standard, and to make that STAN
dard more permanent than it has proved
to be heretofore.

One day Baby Bunty, the or

Uncle Wiggily's hollow stump bun
galow that she tripped over the

Uncle Wiggily caught her in his

But why are you in such a hur-
ry. Bunty?" asked Mr. LongearS.
why did you run SO fast?"
Because I was playing in the
woods" said Bunty, and I heard a
funny noise and I ran to find you
to tell you about it, Oh, my!"
What sort of a noise was it?'
asked Uncle Wiggily as he held the
little orphan rabbit in his paws to
quiet her.

DAVIS RETURNS

NEWS that Arthur P Davis has been
II named as a consulting engineer on
Boulder dam will be pleasing to many
residents of Imperial Valley who recall
the part Davis played decade or more
ago when the fight for construction of
the dam was getting under way.
As head of the United States Reclama-
tion Service, Davis was vitally interest
ed N the Colorado river development
project and from the start advocated
construction of high dam at Boulder
canyon or vicinity.
In 1922 he wrote a report faVoring
high dam and advocating the develop
ment of power by the government, Many
of the suggestions embodied in this re-
port were incorporated by Senator john
sol. and Representative Swing in their
bill for construction of the dam, and it
was introduced into congress with the
eventual result known to all valley resi-
dents.
Davis incurred the wrath of the Hard
inc administration and to get rid of him,
Hubert Work, at that time secretary OF
the interior, abolished the office of dl-
rector of reclamation, which Davis had
held since 1914. His dismissal was con-
sidered severe blow to the hopes OF
Imperial Valley, but not even this set
back could prevent ultimate authoriza-
ton of Boulder dam.
While it is probably stretching things
a bit too far to call Davis the father
of the dam, none can dispute the state
ment that he was one of the first men
who could visualize the Importance OF
the dam and its accompanying features
As consulting engineer on the dam
project he returns to a job with which
he is thoroughly familiar.
|. is particularly gratifying to lmpef-
ial Valley that he is to be given the op-
portunity to participate actively ON con-
struction of the dam which ne first kne"
as brain child.

CURSE OF NARCOTICS

In a recent address Captain
Richmond P. Hobson declared that
the traffic in narcotics is a cancer
which has been eating at the vital
organs of the world for 200 years,
and that the power Of American
gangsters and racketeers is based
upon it, rather than upon liquor.
He asserted that most of the
bandits and gunner who rob and
kill are dope addicts who are con-
trolled body and soul by those
higher up. He believes the hope
of the world lies in educating the
young to the horrors of the Giving
death" Of the dope fiend. Tracing
the steps by which the drug habit
is formed, Captain Hobson told of
the physical and mental agony
suffered by those who "get hooked"
by dope. When the habit is con-
firmed the addict will resort to
any means whatever to obtain his
daily supply of drugs, and thus
becomes a prey for those who
