WAR! WAR! WHEN WILL THE
INTERNATIONAL FINDER IGNITE!

Republicans and Democrats alike are
largely united in favor of such a policy
on neutrality as the President has rec
ommended to congress. As this country
is not a member of the League of Ma
lions and has no hope of avoiding seri-
Gus world conflict through methods
other than controlling our international
relations, the import of such bill COM
pels its immediate consideration.
Trouble has brewed constantly on
the ASiatic borderland between Japanese
Manchukuo and Siberian Russia. The
land of the rising sun is constantly at
odds with the Russian Bear. 1t appears
inevitable that sometime-possibly to-
morrow, next month, or next year-there
will be conflagration. Only Friday
another incident occurred similar to the
many that have gone before, each of
which easily could flare into an invasion
and an ensuing state of war. Russian
troops were reported to have captured
two Japanese aviatOrs near VladiVostOk,
the aviators trying to kidnap Russian
from whom to obtain information. True
or not, this eXemplifies what may hap
pen at this danger point where Russian
maintains what is reported to be the
biggest concentration of aircraft in the
world, and while the disarmament con-
ference in London is apparently going
on the rocks because Japan is insisting
on naval parity with Great Britain and
the United States.
Meanwhile, non belligerant China
through her central government, seems
to be mastering courage And American
statesmen visiting Japan report discour-
tesies at the hands of the usually most
hOspitable and gracious japanese, and
a growing ill-will toward this country.
Italy rests on her oars because of
the return of rain in Ethiopia The
League of Nations considers plans to
use powerful radio stations on the con-
tinent for broadcasts in the Italian Ian
guage to convey to the uniformed Ital-
ian populace just what is threatening
their country. France and England &C
cording to indications, have a renewed
pact, England to aid France in case of
land war, France to aid England in
event of war on the high seas.
In Washington, J. P. Morgan and his
associates are quizzed by senator's un-
earthing the bones of the financial struc-
ture of the world war. The senate desires
to expose just how international finance
and commerce coerce nations into war,
thus producing profit for the financiers
but losses for the people, death for SOL
diers, and debt for posterity.
This is not a political question, ex-
cept insofar as big business may attempt
to keep its fingers in the international
money basket. 1t is a question without
party lines. There can be little hope
that it will be complete insurance
against finding ourselves in the midst
of a great conflagration, but it will
eliminate some Of the minor possibilities
of danger, and be a strong step in the
right direction The sooner this is effect
ed, the better.

Such persons added to the compli-

But the public would not be

Family and friends had to be sac

highly mysterious affair. Yet if
it were murder, the testimony now
is SO badly confused the culprit, if
any, is likely to escape.

DISTRICT SHOULD MAINTAIN
A POLICY OF UNIFIED INTEREST

A POLICY OF UNIFIED INTEREST
Great interest centers on the decision
to be handed down by Secretary Ickes
In connection with the routing of the
All American canal through CaleXico
by syphon or around CaleXico by open
ditch. As soon as this is decided and
work started, the real Job of bringing
the canal proper to a state of compile
ton will be entirely under way In
connection with the hearing on the Cal
eXico problem, there may be some who
question whether Evan T. HeweS over
stepped his authority by assuring the
two-man engineering board hearing the
case, that the district would prefer to
see CaleXico satisfied at increased cost,
as against affecting an economy by cir
cumventlng the border city with an open
ditch. Upon the questioning of Hewes
on this point, apparently hung the de-
cision. Danger to the syphon plan from
earthquake had been declared negligible
by competent authorities. This placed
the matter upon a cost economy basis
1t was in connection with the fact that
the syphon route construction would cost
several hundred thousand dollars more,
that the engineers aimed the definite
question at Hewes. His answer was
corroborated by Mark Rose but where
Rose spoke as prominent director,
1t was upon the statement of Hewes,
as chairman of the board, that the re-
sponsibility rested. He was present as
the official representative of the people
behind the enterprise, and the remarks of
engineer Jacobs were addressed to him
as such. Both he and Rose did right in
answering as they did
They stood upon firm ground. Behind
their expressions was the accepted stand
ard that the district views problems in
their entirety and not from the stand
point of divisional interest. The ulti-
mate objective of the canal is betterment
of the entire district with as little pen
atty to any individual, area, or division
as possible. In this picture is no room
for petty jealousies. No division wishes
to see another injured, nor is one jealous
over expenses of construction in another.
The north end of the valley would no
more find fault for cost reasons, with
the syphon, than would the south end
find fault for cost reasons, with con-
struction of the concrete-lined ditch to
provide fresh water to the north end
district. The syphon keeps CaleXico
from being cut off from the valley
by a wide moat The other proposal
plans to eliminate the north end dam
with its ill-effects on Alamo river drain
age, and provide fresh water from the
east side high line to the $4,000 acres
southwest of Calipatria. Each is i'm
portant to the whole Cost must be
borne and the more productive the land
is, the lower the cost per acre will be.
1t is we'll that the board is seeing the
problems in this light. Success and
rapid progress without unnecessary
delay rests solely on a continuation of
this unity of purpose.
