NO CRITICISM HERE.


Himself the author of recent book and the
prospective author of another Franklin D. Roosevelt
is the subject of several more recent ones and is
certain to be the subject of many more before his
tenure of the Presidency ends 1t is interesting to
note that while the books about Mr.. Roosevelt come
from variety of sources they all alike in being
distinctly friendly. AS yet nothing resembling blunt
criticism has appeared in book form.
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Roosevelt should
attract the attention of wide variety of writer's

Mobilizing the "Deutschtum.' .
New York Herald Tribuneo

Any doubts that may have fingered to the
inability of German reactionares to learn any
thing must have been dispelled by the report from
Germany that former Chancellor Won Papens news
paper, "Germania' has appealed to Americans Of
German descent to make propaganda in this coun-
try for the Nazi cause. Has Captain Won Papen
forgotten his experiences in this country in 1915 and
1916? Is he still aboring under the delusion that
the "Deutschtumin America is at his beck and
call?
The old charitable explanation of this extra
ordinary appeal is that the former Chancellor is out
of touch with present sentiment in this country.
Were this not he would be aware that even
outside of Jewish circles the vast majority of
Americans of German origin out of sympathy
with Htlers methods. They may approve of many
of his detectives, but they disapprove strongly of his
intolerance his high-handed restrictions of personal
freedom and his destruction of German liberalism.
There is further reason why "Germanias" ap-
peal will fall deaf This is the realization
on the part of Americans of German origin that
German politics has for them only sentimental
interest. They may be disguised by such acts of
intolerance dumping overheard from liner lot
of toys and paper caps because they were made in
Germany, but this does not mean that they are
prepared to undertake campaign in behalf of
Hitler Hitler's Germany is not their Germany.

the reelection of Anthony j. Dimond as Delegat
from Alaska to Congress The Times declared:
Hon Anthony j. Dimond, Alaska's Dele

himself eminently qualified to discharge the
duties of that office, and the Daily Times,
although normally an independent Republic
can newspaper, takes pleasure in endorsing
the present incumbent for reelection and
will give it whole-hearted support to ac-
complish that end. Delegate Dimond has
been loyal to the residents of Alaska, is an
interchangeable worker, has the confidence OF
the Administration and largely through his
efforts the Territory has received greater
benefit in constructive legislation, liberal
appropriations to relieve the Unemployment
situation and the appointment of bonafide
Aaskans to Federal positions during his
short tenure of office than almost all of
his predecessors during their many years at
the national capital

mind will have opposition among the
Democrats for denomination and reelection,
and in case he does at the primary his
nomination is a foregone conclusion. So far
Republican has shown a disposition to
enter the and a gracious thing for that
party to do would be to either not enter

PHILLIPS ON
RETURN VISIT

John Phillips. assemblyman from
Banning and chairman of the state
committee which investigated the
valley this spring relative to the
strike situation, is in Ell Centre TO-
day.
With him is Clarence E. Hawley,
vice. president of the Associated
Farmers of California and rancher
from Santa Paula; and w. H.
Wright of Los Angeles, administra-
tive assistant of the state depart
ment of agriculture whose duties
include supervision of the various
agricultural commissioners offices
in Southern California.
The three arrived this morning
and conferred with B. A. Harrigan,
agricultural commissioner. When
questioned by Press reporter as to
whether their arrival was con-
nected in any way with the report
issued by General Pelham D. Glass
ford, they refused to commit them
selves, stating that they had come
to the valley to enjoy the warm
weather and that they had enjoyed
their other visit and were glad to
be back.

THIS MORNING
BY DISTRICT
Allotment Of Three Feet Per
100 Acres In Crops To Be
Distributed To Ranchers.
NO CHANGE IN SITUATION
Light Increase In Flow AT Yuma
Result OF Sluicing Operations
Earlier In Week.

Pro-ration of water will start in
Imperial Valley tomorrow, it was
announced today from the office of
M. j. Dowd, chief engineer of the
Imperial Irrigation District.
An announcement given to the
newspapers stated: Because of the
continued drop in the Colorado riv-
er, the first 10 day pro-ration period
VIII start Friday, June 30, on a basis
OF three feet to each 100 acres of
land in crops.
Because of the acute emergency
1t is authorized in accordance with
the resolution of the board of direc-
tors OF June % with a view of pro-
Vldlng an equitable distribution of
water for domestic and stock pur-
poses and any additional water to
be distributed to sustain and pre-
serve existing and growing crops"
The engineers office explained
that pro-ration will be set in 10 day
periods. If, however, it is possible
to fill all orders in a lesser time.
this will be done and the new pro-
ration period started If it requires
more than 10 days to complete the
first pro-ration period the second
Will not start until the first has
been completed.
There was slight increase in the
flow of the Colorado recorded at
Yuma today, the reading being L.
$50 second feet as against 1870 Sec
, ond feet recorded yesterday. This
slight rise was explained to be the
result of sluicing operations in the
river earlier in the week.
| Reports of local rains in various
parts of Arizona will have no bear
ing on the situation here the chief
engineers office said. 1t was ex-
planned that any such rains as re-
ported in southwestern Arizona
would drain into the Gila river. This
river is SO low at the present time
! that even if the rains amounted to
any considerable extent, the Gila
river would require all of it and lit
tie, if any, would reach the Colora-
do.
There has been no report of any
change in the upper basin states
and no rainfall has been recorded in
that area.
Unless rain in heavy quantities
comes within the next month, pro-
ration is likely to be the lot of I'm
perial Valley throughout the sum-
| mer, it was stated.
In normal years June has been
flood month in the Colorado, and
this, the last year when an uncon-
trolled river supplies the valley,
proves to be the start of what is be-
lieved will be the dryest season in
the history of the valley.

CHAMBER REPORTS DEMAND FOR
ALL AMERICAN CANAL EDITION

Demand for copies of the ALL
American canal edition of three of
the valley newspapers has demon
strated definitely the interest which
exists in all parts of the United
States in Imperial Valley, according
to Robert Hays, manager of the FL
Centro Chamber of Commerce.
That such demand exists has been
demonstrated at the local cham
ber by the fact that 225 copies OF
the All-American canal edition
have been mailed or presented at
the information counter in reply to
requests during the two months
since the edition was printed.
"We purchased 400 of the full
issues of the canal edition. Hays
stated today, "believing that this
supply would last us year and we
find that today, at the end Of two
months, we have on hand only
about 225 copies. Every copy of
this edition which has been sent
out or given out has been because
of direct request, We have not tried
to work out a mailing list but have
merely sent copies when a letter
was received asking for general in
formation concerning Imper |
Valley, or when a similar request
was received at our counter.
"ThiS amounts to almost four
copies day which have been given
out at the Ell Centro Chamber OF
Commerce, Hays continued, "and

indicates the interest which is
manifested III this community.
These papers have gone to all parts
of the United States and to visitors
from all sections. In addition sew
eral copies have been sent to for
eign countries. Some of the letters
have definitely asked for copies of
the All-American Canal edition,
others have, of course, merely asked
for general information concerning
Imperial Valley. The supply Of
booklets on Imperial Valley pub
lished by the Associated Chambers

demned seriously the demands of
the strikers.
Nature of the threats against
the Chronicle were not revealed. Of
ficials of that newspaper refused to
make a statement. Police also. were
reticent, However, it was signifi-
cant that the other newspapers i'm
mediately posted guards on their
buildings
AS President Roosevelt's special
labor board continued the second
day of its mediation efforts in the
major industrial crisis involving 49,
900 workers and the entire COM
merce with the Orient, industrial
leaders issued third ultimatum.
They said curtly that they would
open the port of San Francisco-by
force if neceSsary-by noon Friday
unless the union men returned tc
work.
There was some hope the presi-
dents mediation board, headed by
Archbishop Edward j. Hanna, might
bring peace soon in the situation
which has plagued coast ports since
May 9.
However, leaders of both the ship
ping interests and unions told the
United Press informally that they
believed a truce could be effectetl
only after President Roosevelt
"shook a bigger stick than he has
so far"
What they meant by a bigger
stick" the leaders would not say.
Militia Prepared
National guardsmen and police
were prepared for any emergency
should the shipping interests,
through the Industrial Association
of San Francisco, carry out their
threat to open the port here ac noon
Friday.
Violence was sure to follow any such
move leaders of both factions
agreed.
Edward F. McGrady, assistant Sec
retary of labor sent here by Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins for a second
time in an effort to effect concilia-
ton, warned workers that the In
dustrial Associations threat meant
immediate action toward settlement
was imperative.
He pleaded with strikers to re-
turn to work. Union leaders, headed
by Harry Bridges, refused to take
the shippers threats seriously.
While the dock workers were ad-
amant in their demap<s Tor recog-
milton of their union and control of
hiring halls-the crux of the dispute
the strike movement spread.
Passenger service of river boats
operating from San Francisco to
Stockton and Sacramento was sus-
pended after masters, mates, pilots,
firemen and engineers walked out in
sympathy with the longshoremen.
Scores of beatings and minor vio-
lence were reported in San Fran
