WILMINGTON SPRING DOL
LAR DAY

Lincoln's Birthday, Wednesday,
February IL, will be celebrated in
Wilmington by the observance of the
official Spring Dollar Day, which will
be conducted under the auspices of
the Mercantile Section of the Cham
Der of Commerce. This date was
selected particularly because, ali
schools being closed on that day, it
would be peculiarly opportune time
for parents to visit Wilmington from
other portions of the State and
Peninsula.
Weeks of advance preparation
have enabled the more than a hun
dred leading Wilmington merchants
to participate in this event to an even
greater extent than ever before, and
placed them in a position where they
are able to offer to visiting shoppers
a long line of unusual values. AS
usual, official Dollar Day stores will
be designated by distinctive Dollar
Day window and interior cards which
bear the copyrighted emblem of the
Chamber of Commerce.

The first Scholastic issue for the
second semester was published this
week. The Scholastic is a current
magazine which is sent to us weekly.
Almost every member of the Junior
ana Senior classes and about ten
members of the Sophomore class take
fifty cents semester and the con-
tents of the magazines for this semes-
ter would really be worth a set Of
twenty-one books. This magazine is
so popular with the students tnat al
most everyone renewed his subscrip-
tlon for the rest of the year.
Every Friday is devoted to the
study of the Scholastic. Both the
english and History teachers use the
material IN this magazine. In the
English section there is always an
edltorial, short story, biogIa-
pnical sketch OF the author OF the
Tory, and a page of poetry. Some
Zines there are one-act plays, too. In
me history section there IS usually
an article on some question of world
Importance, and there is always a
lection devoted to the news OF the
week at home and abroad. Besides
ali OF this there are movie reviews,
an article written about some sport,

Oil Company Indictments NeW
Chapter m Antitrust History
Starring Out The Independents
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. - Indictments returned in
Wisconsin against most of the major American
oil companies and 58 of their officials and other
oil men open new chapter in the history of
the antitrust laws
The Department of Justice will soon be
prosecuting important individuals and corpora
tions in other industries on charges Of violating
the Sherman act
Meanwhile the nature of the oil cases and
the background of the new trlrSt-bustng CAM
paign have been somewhat obscured. If the
government proves its charges and wins ver-
dict, the oil industry will be convicted of flagrant
violations and its contention that it is being
prosecuted for price-fixing practices previously
approved by the government will be exploded.
Assistant Attorney General John Dickinson
will try to show that major oil companies at
tempted to starve out independent jobbers and
retailers by secretly buying up the gasoline of
independent refiners, both raising the price to
the jobbers and making it difficult for them to
get supplies.
1t is alleged by the government that buy
ing pool was formed. operated by stooges, and
that independent refiners didn't know to whom
they were really selling The government will
also contend that the great secrecy with which
it charges operations were conducted indicated
that the defendants were aware of their IL
legality.
1t is contended that artificial price was
created and published, which about 1000 middle

The indictments came after investigation
by federal lawyers and Omen" Wire-tapping
was proposed at one point, but Dickinson re-
fused to countenance it.
1t required months to get behind the alleg-
ed stooges and trace the 'hgher-up" connec-
tons they are charged with having. Agents
had to trace back through a series of meetings
in hotel rooms, check telephone call records,
and find out who met whom and where before
they could present their findings to the grand
jury which in turn made further accusations.
Oil men saw they're being prosecuted for
practices which the government encouraged, but
vigorously denied in Washington. There was

ing, for a short period in 1884 Oil Administrator
Ickes is said to have put a stop to it. No official

SOMETHING ELSE FOR
THE VALLEY TO THINK ABOUT

Here in the middle of August, with
delayed vacations finding many people
out of Imperial Valley, with activity at
its usual summer low in comparison to
winter time, business is good
Look for house to rent. You will
have a hard time finding one.
Go into a downtown store. You will
not find the same lack of customers
that marked last summer and the sum-
mer before.
Go to the working men. You will
find most of them-if they want to work
on jobs.
With September's business pickup,
what will it be? Will there be any
houses to rent, any idle clerks, any job
less men? 1t does not seem so.
FL Centro if it is not careful, is going
to outgrow itself this winter. Since
we do not wish to retard its growth,
there is only one thing to do. Keep up
with it.
This winter will be a busy time-a
time that is not far off now-and to the
business man who realizes it and makes
provision for increased activity, it will
be a highly profitable one
1t is time to start keeping up with
the times.

EDITOR,

DEAR SIR:
received a clipping from your paper of
August IA, which is an editorial entitled mi
gratory Workers Camp for the Valley
I want to express my appreciation of your
open-minded attitude toward the establishment
of a camp for migratory workers at Brawley by
the Resettlement Administration. I am glad you
have expressed yourself on the fact that squat
ters' camps are deplorable way of handling
the housing problem of migratory workers
feel sure the dangers you point out which may
attend the establishment of such camp will
not materialize.
We have had two Migratory Labor Camps in
operation for many months and we find the
migratory workers not only appreciate them but
take pride in them. In neither the Marysvile
or the Arvin camp has there been single oc-
casion for an arrest nor has there been any
tendency for people other than migratory agri-
cultural workers to use the camps. Also there is
plenty OF evidence that a decent sanitary camp
promotes the self-respect of the workers and
certainly does not induce the spirit OF violence
which we associate with the word Radcalism.
Sincerely yours,
JONATHAN GARST,
Regional Director

CALM OVER 'AMERICAN
INVESTMENTS IN SPAIN

One of the most encouraging signs of
changing thought is the comparative
calm which greeted announcement that
american" factories in Spain were be-
ing seized by the left wing government,
now fighting for its life.
1t is safe to say that 20 years ago any
such announcement would have been
greeted by a national wave of indigna-
ton and a stiff-backed diplomatic note
insisting that American rights" be re-
spected-or else
What happened this time was formal
note of protest from Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, cautioning Spanish author
tiles that they would be expected to ac-
count for the situation after the fighting
is over.
That was more a matter of form ito
keep the record straight than any sort
of threat to do anything about it imme-
diately. And the public Indignation, if
any, was practically inaudible.
The reason is not only change in
thinking, however, but change IN the
international setup under which great
businesses operate.
The average man is apt to think today,
"Well, whose business is it? Is it Amer
ican' in any real sense of being the
property OF, OF III tHc Icdl iulCiCoI Va,
the American people? Or is it just
something that happens to be owned by
a couple of fellows who happen to be
Americans?"
In the case of Spain, there is double
reason to ask questions. For 10 years
there has been going on in Spain sort
of game of hide-and-seek between the
government and dozen large American
corporations with interests or factories
there.
1t began under the Rivera dictatorship,
when scheme for taxing outside firms
was tried. Rivera ordered that foreign
firms with Spanish subsidiaries should
pay tax based on the corporations
total earnings, regardless of what part
of those earnings were made in Spain.
So the american" corporations re-lncor-
porated, with Spanish directors and
stockholders.
Now, legally, ownership is Spanish. So
when the fighting and terror is over, and
the State Department tries to get an
adjustment for destruction or seizure OF
American property, it may find polite
Spanish officials lifting polite Iberian
eyebrows and asking What American
