LOCAL LIONS
ADDRESSED BY .
CONSUL CHAN

DR.. Y. w. Chan, Chinese consul
at Mexicali, was speaker of the day
at this noon's meeting of the Lions
club at the Barbara Worth hotel,
discussing international relations
among the states of the Pacific
basin.
Trade relations between those
countries that border the Pacific
and the dangers of involving the
entire world should any two of
these countries be engaged in war,
since each country has interlock-
ing agreements and relations with
other nations of the world, were
discussed.
DR.. Chan declared that the Unit
ed States policy of isolation, aided
by tariff walls and by immigration
restrictions would eventually have
TO be changed 10 meet the needs of
today. The United States is en-
gagged in mass production and needs
a world market to take care of its
surplus.
The Hawaiian Islancs he said, are
a strategic. point Oh defense, the
Philippine, less so. The United
States should have guiding hand
in world policies in the Pacific in
the event that if another war oc-
ours, she will be in position Of
control.
In order to prevent war, Dr.. Chan
stated his belief that large arma-
ments are necessary and the Pa
cific coast is in need of strong
navy, naval maneuvres in the Pa
cific serving as a warning to the
rest Of the nations that the United
States is prepared for war.

most undesirable time for shop
ping, with foggy weather and wet

shopping to do a little thing like
bad weather is not going to stop
her. And when the shopping
doesn't cost anything. what femi-
nine heart could resist it?
So Patricia Ann Williams went
shopping this morning and made a
big success of it. Patricia Ann has
the honor of being the first child
born in El Centre this year and she
was Justly proud of her honor as
she strobe (waddled, crawled, trun-
died, rolled) from shop to shop to
gather up what was hers for being
on time and ahead of all others.
True to feminine instincts her
first stop was at Johnson's where
she was presented with lovely
dress. offered by the firm as their
contribution to her wardrobe. or
should we say trouSSeau. Then she
shop-skipped-and-ju jumped across the
street to Cornetts Brownbilt shoe
store where she was given the firms
congratulations and a new pair of
shoes.
Recognizing that there is always
a time when one is tired and that
pillow comes in handy at such a
time. she next visited the J. c.
Penney company, where Gordon
Scriven bent down from his six
feet four to present the pillow and
shake hands with the young shop
per.
Eating is always an important oc-
casion in every life and spoon
usually comes in handy so Patricia
Ann called on Oscar Haun and he
presented her with a baby spoon to
help her over her difficulties when
she gets TO the mush and milk
stage.

proposal to be ceded 100000 acre
feet OF water annually from the
Boulder Dam project. In outlining
this states position, A. H. Favor,
chairman of the Arizona commits
sion. said the quota would aid Cali

posed compact.
We are ready to put this water
to use on 100000 undeveloped acres

IF we don't put it TO use, it will
flow down the Colorado into Mexi-
co and be used there, destroying
any chance We might have OF re-
claiming it,
Indicating that the conference
faced a breakdown, Attorney Gen.
eral U. S. Webb Of California voiced
surprise that Arizona appeared un-
willing to recede from her stated de-
mands.
I'VE expected Arizona to submit
modified contract" Webb said
The Secretary of the Interior has
refused to sign the contract as pro-
posed and this meeting was called
at his suggestion. We want some
