COMMUNICATION LINES
AND MEXICAN POLITICS

POLITICAL maneuverlng south of the in
ternational border since the return of
former President Plutarco Gales pre-
sent an interesting contrast between
nelghboring countries. The contrast
in fact, is just as sharp between politics
as between such concrete items as rail
roads, telephones and telegraph lines
and highways. There is a very close
connection.
The distrust that is typical of Next
can politics, the same distrust and lack
of understanding that is behind most
Mexican revolutions, would be born in
any nation lacking in communication
and travel facilities. Mexican provinces,
isolated to a great extent from the cap
ital and from one another, have more of
the stamp of small nations within ma
ton than almost anywhere else in the
world. Governors of the states and ter
ritories hold more power, individually,
than is usual in such offices. Their sys-
TEN tends to build up such a political
set-up as those of the Middle Ages,
where barons owed nominal allegiance
to kings, but ruled in their own way.
A greater understanding of coopera-
ton, and less strife and plotting, will
come into Mexican politics when thlt
country completes the program which
has been gaining Roadway slowly during
recent years. Good highways, addition
al telephone and telegraph lines and
closer contact between the peoples of
Mexico will bring greater internal peace
to the southern republic.

ward for lettuce, but once the Jan. |
milestone has been passed, Harrigan be-
lieves the market will be firm and
stronger for Imperial Valley lettuce.
There could be no more encouraging
news for every person in the valley.
There is always room for the unex-
pected, but the factors in favor of sue
cess this year are unusually large
Weather has been perfect for the let
tuce deal. Continuing for a few weeks,
it will bring lettuce here along to the
best quality in years, and at the same
time will do much to strengthen the
market. Salinas and San Fernando are
out of the picture of competition. Phoe-
nix, now at the peak of its fall DEAL will
not seriously effect the valley market
Growers, realizing the situation, have
held back a part of the deal by about
two weeks. Their wisdom is becoming
apparent.
There is nothing more important to
Imperial Valley than the lettuce deal.
1t means millions of dollars worth of
business to this region. It's effects
are felt in payrolls and in every store
and shop. A good deal can swing the
balance to or from prosperity. Togeth-
er with the later cantaloupe DEAL it is
all important
This year, Imperial Valleys new deal
is the best of all.

"a COUPLE OF NAILS"
MIGHT BE ALMOST ANYONE

1t was a cowardly thing that two un-
identified assailants of Walter Winchell,
Broadway hoofer turned columnist, did
when they slugged him and ran, but it
was just as foolish of the columnist as it
was cowardly of the pair when he broad
cast to the world that "a couple of
Nazis did it." Walter had it all figured
out that, because he had written some
thing about the Nazis, it must be a
couple of them who slugged him. To
the casual observer, it seems that Win
chell might just as well say, "a couple
of married people did it,
The Winchell flare for publicity stood
the scapegrace of the newspaper bust
ness in good stead, however, and he
made Page One in a lot of newspapers
throughout the nation because he got in
the way of someone's fists. The whole
thing gave Winchell chance to reach
far greater audience with his un-Amer-
lean campaign against the Nazis, whose
business is none of Uncle Sans.
Americans may not approve OF the
dictatorial regime in Germany, or the
Communistic rule in Russia, or the tas-
cist reign in Italy, but as long as those
influences remain in their own country,
it is not for Americans to go out of their
way to campaign against them. When
they attempt to gain control in the Unit
ed States, that is another matter Each
American, too, is entitled to his own
opinion and to expression of that opinion
where and when he sees fit, but it is not
exactly the American thing to do to go
out of the way to stir resentment against
a creed or people who have done America
no harm.
Winchell's creed, however, cannot be
said to be typically American. which
may or may not justify Winchells bleat
that "a couple of Nazis did it."

GUERILLA WAR
ALONG THE COLORADO

Arizona is at it againl Attorney Gen.
eral John L. Sullivan of Arizona, the
colossus of river litigation, took several
months to figure out the best way to do
it. but he has arrived at conclusion.
Arizona can halt work on Parker Dam,
he believes, by using deputy sheriffs as
corks. The national guard, used by
Arizona in a past foray, proved weak
link because President Roosevelt could
federalize the guardsmen, taking them
out of Arizona's jurisdiction.
County Attorney Glenn Copple of Yu-
ma has been ordered to determine if
there is encroachment on Arizona's SOW
ereignty If he finds that there is such
encroachment, according to the attorney
generals orders, he is to speed deputy
sheriffs to the scene to halt work.
The move is as plain as day. Through
bargaining with the Metropolitan Water
District of Los Angeles, Arizona hopes
to divide CALIFORNIA; forces in opposition
to the pending suit over division of Col
orado river water. Further, she hopes
to obtain the metropolitan districts help
in again putting over the S23,00O,OO0
Yuma-Gila project.
1t was Arizona's dog-in -the-manger at
titude which lost for her large slice
of federal money now being spent on
reclamation. When the majority of Ari-
zonians awaken to the losses they have
suffered through the meanderlngs OF
their politicians, there will be a revolt
causing acute goose pimples along the
spines of many Arizona officials, but
until then Arizona will be the greatest
sufferer from her own folly.
Arizona knows she cannot stop Parker
dam construction, but what she hopes to
gain is forever a mystery.

The program material this year
is unusually notable. The first
program will include three large
Bach choruses, as we'll as portions
of Verdi Requiem, Brahms Re-
cruim, and excerpts from orator
los of Beethoven, Mozart, and
Gregg. As a novelty composition,
an Old North Carolina Folk Song
has been specially arranged for the
College Choir. This will be
one of the special features of the
program. Much of the chorus work
will be A Capella style, that is,
unaccompanied. This is an espec-

many of the outstanding choirs of
the country.
The Glee Club this year, as

XIV. FINAL: THE CONSTITU-
TON. TO DATE

The recent Supreme Court de-
clsloa that the National Recovery
Act wa unconstitutional set in mo-
ton a nationwide discussion of the
Constitution. 1t brought about the
situation which made this series OF
The Story Of the Constitution, .
a most timely subject.
The Supreme Courts decision
was, in effect, based upon the fun.
damental principle that the FEEDER
al Government is one of delegated
powers.
Under the Constitution, all pow
er rests in the Congress, which re-
ceives its authority from the peo-
pie and the states. The Executive
power is to see to the enforcement
Of the Acts of Congress. The power
of the Judiciary is that of deter
mining whether or not the Con-
gress has, in any given case, sought
to exercise power which has not
been delegated to it.
In the NRA case the Supreme
Court held that Congress had re-
ceived no power from the people
to delegate any part of its law-mak-
ing function to the President; that
the states had granted the Congress
no power to regulate commerce or
industry except as they are in the
stream Of interstate commerce.
Within the limits of its delegat.
ed authority, Congress has usually
been upheld in its efforts to legis-
late within the needs Of an expand
ing national economy. The Supreme
Court is expected to take a real
istic view of current conditions and
recognize the necessities of. the
times when this could be done
without infringing upon the pow
ers reserved to the states or the
people, under the Tenth Amend
ment. By this process, the Consti-
tuition has operated for 14s years.
The fexibility of the Constitu-
ton to meet new conditions has
been testified to by generations of
statesmen. In the few instances,
during recent years, when the con-
sidered will of the people could not
