The Highway Committee OF the
El Centre Chamber Of Commerce
and the Tourist and Convention
Bureau of Imperial Valley were
advised this morning by Robert
Hays, manager Of the chamber
that he has received an engroSsed
COPY of the resolution adopted yes
terday by the house of representa-
tives Of the state of Arizona, men,
orializing the United States bu-
reau of public roads, and urging
that it make an immediate, thor
ough investigation of the advan-
tages of the so-called Benson
Wilcox Bowie-Lordsburg road in
Ccchise county, Arizona, with a
view TO determining its feasibility
as a military highway and as a
permanent federal route across
southern Arizona.
The ultimate intention" Hays
said, rs that this shall be made
IA federal highway, and become a
part Of the Arizona state-federal
highway system. The resolution OF
the Arizona house of representa-
tives urges upon the bureau of pub
lie roads the extreme Importance
Of this highway. and that the in
vestigation by the bureaus engin-
eers be commenced at the earliest
possible time. In its memorial, the
Arizona legislature states;
Imperial Valley press., 1934-12-14
ARIZONA TAKING STEPS TO GET
ACTION ON HIGHWAY ROUTING

This is : indeed good news"
Hayes added Those who under
stand road conditions feel the
great need of the so-called Wilcox
cutoff in order to meet the COM
petition of the shorter Globe-Phoe-
nix -Blythe-LoS Angeles highway
If the Wilcox road is taken into
the Arizona state-federal highway
system and hard surfaced, we shall
again be on a par with the Phoe-
nix Blythe road in other words,
with this road paved, the distance
to the coast by way of Imperial
Valley would be no greater than
the distance via the Blythe road,
and we should probably again get
the largest share Of motor traf-
fic.
"The matter much concerns US"
HAYS stated. For instance, dur
ing the month of November, the
total of cars which we're checked in
at the Blythe Quarantine station
was 1873 At Yuma, there were
only 1853 cars, or less than 100
more. Imperial Valley formerly got
90 per cent of the combined traf-
fic on these two roads. Now it
evident that we are getting only
about half of it, and we must have
the shorter road paved If we are to
enjoy our former major share of
this transcontinental travel"

program of redistribution of wealth,
was held out today by Sen. William
f. Borah (Rep9 Idaho, as the only
way to keep it a vital force in pol
itics.
The western progressive demand
ed a revitalized leadership more

past and present party leadership
and charged that Republican poll

of a few.
Borah explained his idea of a re-
organized party would not mean
necessarily that it would be one of
opposition to wealth. Rather it
would become a party "willing to
direct wealth and a profit system
into paths which gave larger rec

ASSERTS WAR
IS OUTNODEO.
BY MARC c. GoODNOW
United Press Special Correspondent

United Press Special Correspondent
RIVERSIDE, Calf, Dec. IA. -
War as a means of settling inter-
national disputes is becoming out
moded in the public mind of the
Balkan states, according to A. T.
PolyZoides, Greek journalist.
There is a growing belief by
government and the public in the
Balkans that war is an outgrown
medium of settling disputes Poly
zoides told the Institute of World
Affairs last night.
Political assassinationS as a
means of starting new European
complications also have lost their
effectiveness with the League Of
Nations acting as Intermediary, p"
the speaker declared.
When such opinion originates
in the Balkans, of all places. there
is hope that a new gospel may
soon spread over Europe"
Polyzoides observed that Jugo-
slsvia, Roumania, Bulgaria, Tur-
key, Albania and Greece are con-
vinced of the necessity of closer
cooperation among themselves.
In far eastern relations, Ameri-
cas- course in attempting to pre-
serve the traditional open door
policy should be charted as a
member of the League of Nations
and the world court, Prof. Ben
Cherrington of Denver university
told the delegates. He spoke as a
substitute for Chester H. Rowell,
San Francisco newspaper publish
er.
Under proper league guaran-
tees" Cherrington said, Japan
could still be the doorkeeper to the
Orient without endangering our
own position"
K. l.. Kwong. Chinese consul
general at San Francisco des-
cribed the progress being made in
aviation in China.
China is making tremendous
strides in aviation and expects the
early establishment Of transpacific
airlines which would bring the
country closer TO other nations
bordering the Pacific" he said.

THE work of the Salvation
Army is too we'll known to need
any comment" Auriemma said
THE other night Will Rogers act
ed as master of ceremonies for a
radio program given in Los Angeles
in behalf of the Armys work
there, in which prominent movie
stars of Hollywood assisted him.
Rogers paid a glowing tribute
to the work of the Army in his
own inimitable fashion. Doctors
of humanity is the title he con-
ferred on the Salvation Army
workers and emphasized that he
was not trying to be funny in stat
ing that the Salvation Army is the
only place where one can get a
meal with a sermon.
Nowhere under the sun will
the dollar be used to do SO much
good Rogers said, and declared
that the work which the Army
does among the poor and unfortu-
nate, without asking any ques-
tions, is unsurpassed by the work
of any charitable or philanthropic
organization"
Calexico has responded most
generously to the appeal for funds
Auriemma said and declared the
merchants of the border city had
shown a ready willingness to aid
the good work.
The Army is seeking $4,000 for
carrying on its work Auriemma,
who has been giving his time,
singing before various clubs
throughout the valley for the past
two weeks, is hoping the goal may
be reached within the next few
day and to this end asks the sup
port of the entire valley.
