HEWES COURSE JUSTIFIED

Not only the dictates Of fair play. but
even the cold blooded provisions OF the
law, entitle every man TO defend himself
when attacked
Any accused man is entitled 10 his day

if he cannot provide it himself and Is Civ

Fair-minded citizens of Imperial Val
ley will accord the same right 10 Evan
T. Hewes, president of the Imperial lr-
rigation District, who has become the tar
get of recall movement, brought about
by his political enemies-not by the yot-
ers Of his own district.
In defending himself from this at
tack he is villified because in his defense
he has found it necessary TO tread on the
toes of others. Yet those who villify
him have followed such a course for
years. The last decade in the affairs of
the Imperial Irrigation district has been
loaded with political chicanery in which
a "rule or ruin policy was followed. 1t
mattered not whose toes were stepped up
on so long as the political power of the
GEAR" was held intact.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. In
stead of the Gear" there is a triumvirate
at the head of the district. Instead of
the whims of one man ruling its policy,
the decisions Of three men, arrived at af-
ter open discussion, are in control. OPP
portunity is given for each to express his
own opinions and those Of the people of
his particular division.
Hewes had no desire to expose the
soiled laundry of the past decades regi-
me at the irrigation district. 1t was
there and he knew it was there as did
those who created it. Exposing it might
jeopardize the valleys efforts to get the
All-American canal built. The govern
ment might we'll hesitate to dump its
money into place where money has
been carelessly if not criminally wasted.
Moreover exposure would have an un--
desirable effect upon the districts bond
refunding plan.
For the valleys good name and for
the sake of avoiding any chance of the
government withdrawing its PWA funds,
Hewes was willing to let the soiled laun-
dry remain hidden in a closet.
Bringing it to light has been forced up
on him. In defending himself from at

The French may irritate Us by the at

such things can be and are forgotten
when brave men take their lives in their
hands TO do and dare.
Telephone calls received in this office
yesterday, asking for information on the
flyers, can be taken as an indication of
the interest of the American people in
the venture. When informed that the
flyers had been forced down at New
York after successfully crossing the At
lantlc, regret was expressed in each in
stance.
1t was the irony of fate that the most
dangerous part of their journey should
have been completed in safety only to
have finis written when the easier por-
tion loomed ahead.
We hope Rossi and Codos will try
again. If they do they will have the
best wishes of even more Americans than
they had in their present venture.
