masses, because they do not pene-
trste behind to the shameless dema-
gogy Of Roosevelt which conceals
his drive towards more reactionary,
more anti-worSing- class measures
in the interest of finance capital.

S. P. Leadership Supports N.R.A.
Given this relation OF forces at
the present moment, the key to the
situation is thic-thst something
must be done to prepare a political
machine that will catch the ire
menGous mass upsurge that must
inevitably, and quickly, develop in
the near future as the American
masses discover the colossal fraud
which the Roosevelt New Deal has
perpetrateo upon them. And no
one knows better than the Socialist
Party and A. F. Of L. officials that
this mass indignation will burst open
with political impact that will be
hard 10 hold
1t is in this anticipation of this
inevitable disilIusion with the
Roosevelt New Deal that is to be
found the motive for the new La
Der Party chickering's among the
Socialist Party leadership and
the bureauerats of the A. F. of L.
The Socialist Party leadership
has from the very beginning of the
Roosevelt New Deal played the part
of left" support for the New Deal
standing somewhat to the left of
the old capitalist parties by virtue
of some minor criticisms OF the N
r. A. couched in socialist phrases
Fundamentally, the Socialist Party
leadership still supports in deed the
major policies of the New Deal.
The formation, then, of this new
Labor Party is for the purpose OF
providing a more effective mass
basis for the New Deal demagogy
when the American working class
begins to rise against it.
This is proven to the hilt by the
publicly expressed opinions of the
Socialist Party leaders who are
sponsoring the formation Of the
new Labor Party.
The basic position Of the new
Labor Party is given not only By
the strikebreaking activities of thu
Germans, Reeves, etc, OF the A. F
of L. officiadom. These gentlemen
take an openly capitalist position

Labor Party have been meeting to
decide on ways and means of rem
dering practical assistance to the
Spanish workers. 1t was decided to
launch proposition for sending a
food ship, containing food subscribed
by the British workers, for the re-
lief of the workers in Spain. The
appeal is to be sent to all sections
of the labor, trade union, and CO.

peal which recalls the tremendous
enthusiasm aroused when in 1913
the British workers sent a food ship
to Dublin for the relief Of the dock
strikers of that city.

To CELEBRATE
CANAL START

Plans for gigantic. valleywide
celC bration for the breaking OF
ground on the All-American canal
were placed underway this after
noon when Evan T. Hewes, chair
man, and w. w. Goodson, secre-
tary of the irrigation district board
of directors were appointed to act
as a committee to contact the farm
bureau and all service clubs in the
county on this matter.
1t is the desire of the board that
this celebration will be held under
the auspices of the farm bureau
and county service organizations.
Invitations are to be extended to
all persons not now residing in the
valley who have taken an import
ant part in furthering the All-Am-
erican canal program asking their
presence at this celebration.
The directors discussed both the
time and location of this proposed
celebration but it was finally de-
cided to allow these matters to be
determined by those under whose
auspices it is to be held 1t was
agreed, however, that it is to be
held somewhere along the route of
the canal and probably in the fall.
Fuller details of the plan will be
worked out when contact is made
with the farm bureau and service
clubs.

CLEVER MOVE

SACRAMENTO, June %. U.P)-
Withdrawal of ROLAND Vandegrift,
finance director, from the lieuten-
ant governorship race, and qualifi-
cation of Raymond L. Haight on the
Republican, Progressive and Com
monWealth tickets featured politi-
cal developments here today.
Although Vandegrift had not an
nounced his candidacy he was de-
termined to enter the race several
weeks ago. He gave no reason for
withdrawing, other than indicating
he thought the political situation
was entirely too unsettled.
Politicians continued to wonder
whether he would be retained as
finance director under Gov Frank
F.. Merriam.
Haight's registration with the
Commonwealth party, and his de-
claration of candidacy for governor
on three tickets, was devised as
squeeze play" to land him on the
general election ballot. He was ex-
pected to be the only Common
wealth candidate and thus would
be assured of winning the riomina-
ton of that party and going into the
final election as gubernatorial
candidate.
His supporters believe Merriam
may win the Republican nomina-
ton and Upton Sinclair the Demo-
cratic.

dictionary or a radical, so they will
turn to Haight in the November
election" they reason.

JUST 33 YEARS AFTER

1t is particularly fitting that today
sees the first contracts for construction
of the All-American canal awarded
Just 33 years ago this week, on June
20, 1901 to be exact, the first water from
the Colorado river reached Imperial Val
ley. By the next day, June 21 1901, it
had reached Imperial, the oldest settle
ment in the valley.
1t was thin trickle of brown liquid
not romantic in itself perhaps-but
playing the leading role in a reclama-
tion project that has been one of the most
romantic in the history of the world.
There are still men and women resid-
ing here who were in the valley when
the first water came. Others, who
worked with them in wrestling the land
from the desert, have passed on or have
taken up their lives in other commun-
tiles.
Those who remained and others who
came after them, started the long fight
for canal which should not be under
the burden of any foreign power few
years, comparatively speaking, after the
first water arrived.
1t has been long, hard and vexatious
battle. The valley itself has been di-
vided on the feasibility of the canal

Stories that the military element

have been circulated widely.
Baron Blomberg is an old Reichs-

Papen, a representative of the
Junker and industrialist elements
in Germany, is not Nazi. He has
done all the Hitler governments ne

he who arranged by mediation the
accession of the Nazi government
in January, 1888.
Neurath also is a non-Nazi. He is

old l.. lckes, public works administrator, to-
day announced award of contracts to the w.
L. Callahan Construction Co., St. Louis, and
ii. Gunter and j. P. Shirley, Dallas, for con-
structing the first 80 miles of the All-Ameri-
can canal in southeastern California.
The low bid by those firms was 50, 1885,
$3.50. The Griffith company, of Los An
geles, also will participate in the contract
with low bid of $226, 800 for another phase
of the work.
Specifications require that construction
shall start within 80 days after receipt of no.
tice to proceed. This notice probably will
be forwarded to the contractors by wire to-
day by the United States reclamation bu-
reau.
The work, to be supervised by the recla-
nation bureau, involves 4O,OO0,OOO cubic
yards of excavation, including 500, 900 cubic
yards of rock.
The All-American canal is one Of the
two features of the Boulder canyon project,
construction of which was authorized by
congress in December, 1923, the other being
Boulder dam.
The canal will be the largest irrigation
canal in the world. 1t will be 80 miles long,
200 feet wide, and % feet deep.
No new land will be brought under cul-
tivation. The new canal will carry Colo
RADIO river water to 100000 acres in the Inn
perial Valley in California, now served by
canal which has It's intake five miles west of
Yuma, Ariz., and runs southwesterly
through Mexico, re-entering the United

miles northeast of Yuma, and will extend

doomed the canal to be a dream Con-
struction of highway through the same
sand hills, after experts said it couldn't
be done, opened the eyes of some of the
dissenters. Others held to their object
ions for one reason or another.
Five and half years ago the govern
ment stamp of approval on the All-Amr
erican canal was given when President
Coolidge signed the Swing-J ohnson bill
which provided for its construction, to-
gether with Boulder dam.
Since that time other obstacles have
arisen. Again the valley has had di
vided sentiment, but that the great ma
jority of the people wanted the canal
was proved on two occasions when they
overwhelmingly voted approval of the
canal contract.
More recent Developments in the canal
fight are too near to need comment
They are familiar to most of us. Delay
has followed delay, but each obstacle
has been swept away. The Press has in
sisted for years that the canal was
project too vital to the development of
the entire Southwest to be stopped by
any differences among men, any lndlt-
ference on the part of legislators, in
deed by anything, not excepting the ma
tural difficulties to be overcome.

that the situation is extremely SER

that vegetable and other similar
crops were to be favored in this

sentiment of the directors was that
livestock and orchards were to be
given the preference.

INVESTIGATOR

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. W.P)
Clyde E. Shoemaker was named
today by Attorney General U. S.
Webb as special counsel to assist
the Los Angeles county grand jury
to investigate the affairs of the
California Reserve company.
Shoemaker was a member of the
committee which two years ago
handled for the bar association the
recall movement against three su-
perior court judges.
He was appointed from list of
five attoJneys presented by the
bar association at the request of
the grand jury because George
Gregory, brother-in-law of District
ATTORNEY Buron Fits, headed the
defunct corporation, fact which
the grand jury deemed sufficient to
disqualify Fits from handling the
investigation.
