Reporter Ekins Expects To
 Win Driue Around World

Service, and Leo Kiernan, of the New York Times-North American Alliance, were spending their third day in Manila waiting for the China Clipper delayed at Guam Island by two typhoons.
 The third of the giant seaplanes -the Philippine Clipper-was to take off at dawn from Honolulu on its westward flight to Manila. Ekins hoped to pass the plane in mid-air and wireless salute. The Hawaii Clipper crossed the 180th meridian yesterday, retaining the 24 hours Ekins lost flying eastward around the world. The plane took off Fri day, flew back into Thursday, spent the night here and will take off on Friday. Its the longest day of my life," Ekins reported to his newspaper.
 The Clipper scared over the steamer Steel Seafarer of the U. S. Steel Corporation en route to Shanghai from Honolulu. It was the first boat the Clipper had passed since leaving Manila. Ekins learned here that Miss Kilgallen and Kiernan would be unable to leave Manila for another few days. "I am genuinely sorry to hear that the China Clipper was again de- dayed at GuaIn," he said, because that means tough news for Miss Kilgallen and Kiernan. They won't be able to break even the 23-day record set by John Henry Mears and Capt. 0. B. D. Collier"
 Midway Island proved to be an- other 'stag island" Ekins wire lessed his paper, There are 2S cable employees and 34 Pan-Ameri- can workers. They turned out to be great fishermen, however, and boasted that they threw back any fish under 150 pounds. The Pan- American cook refused to refriger- ate further catches. He complained that he had to move three tons oi fish from the ice box before he

 Governmental Status Different
 Another basic difference which would limit the effectiveness of many European housing policies in America is the difference in the political relationships between the central government and the muni- cipalitieS. In contrast to the Ameri- can system. European cities receive all authority from the central gov- ernment.
 It is not intended to imply that European experience is valueless in guiding the formulation of hous- ing policy in this country.
 Prom the European policy, its mis.skes and accomplishments, may be derised general principles and adaptations of method which might form the basis of comprehensive program for this country.

THE HEAT HERE
AND IN THE MIDWEST

1t is hot in Imperial Valley-no one
can deny that. But SO is it hot in the
middle west-and no one is attempting
to deny that. Physical discomfort ac-
companies the heat of both areas, but
there ends the parallel. Otherwise, I'M
perial Valley is lucky.
Unless rain comes soon to the middle
west, crops will be burned up in the
fields, and the fields themselves will be
in danger of blowing away on the wings
of the first strong wind. The evil face
of drought haunts the midWesterners
again. Nor is that the only peril in the
midwestern heat. Death may be its re-
suit. death for hundreds of sufferers
who cannot find relief.
Whether rain comes to Imperial Val
lev makes no difference The crops will
be here just the same. Life giving water
from the Colorado river-and there Is
no danger that the river will run dry
safeguard Imperial Valley from the
fear that now grips the middle west.
Nor does the fear of heat prostratiOn
and death hang over the valley. 1t IS
true that the heat may be a contributing
cause in death of one or two persons
as it has been in the past, but usually
the persons condition and habits make
him an easy target. Proper living NULL
fies the danger from Imperial Valleys
heat 1t cannot do so in the middle west.
The reason, of course, lies in the
humid heat Of the middle west as against
the dry heat Of Imperial Valley, and IN
the irrigation of Imperial Valley as
against the dependency on rain in the
middle west.
Cooling systems and other ingenious
contrivances rapidly are taking the curse
of discomfort out Of the Imperial Valley
heat. and once discomfort is removed
there is little else left. The heat is
blessing to Imperial Valleys agriculture
Just as it is curse to the agriculture
of other areas.

SCOUTS SOLUTION FOR WORLD PEACE
mi
[ Riverside Daily 7

The final winner of Eddie CantOr's $4,000
college championship for the best essay on how
to keep the United States out of is a Boy
Scout who attended the fourth international
Scout jamboree in Hungary in 1888 His essay
is his own. His peace theory is based ON the
experience of that summer.
Il went to the jamboree,' he wrote, "and
there I found my solution for world peace. All
the boys wanted TO be friends and We made
new ones every day. BY actually living with
5000 foreign scouts we learned that they thought
and acted Just as We did We loved those broth
er scouts as much as those in America. I am
corresponding with eight scouts in Esthonia,
Luxembourg England, Austria Persia, Syria,
South Africa and Australia. After these con-
tacts how could we want to go to war
against each other?"
This youngster thinks governments ought
to send picked groups OF youth tC international
gatherings TO open their eyes to the futility OF
war"
There is certainly good sense in his idea
If war actually comes, of course many friends
would fight on opposite sides as friends and
even brothers, have done in past wars But
there is hope of creating in youth a better un-
derstanding of other peoples, Of their current
problems and needs as well their history and
culture there may be created also the viii to get
along together and knowledge of how to do it.
The contacts made by this Boy Scout at
Hungary and the impressions he received there
are vouchsafed for by Riverside county scouts
who have attended similar International jam
borees in foreign countries They report sim
liar reactions from these scout gatherings.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
A MATTER OF FORM

= Democrats from every state in the
union will gather at Philadelphia Tues
day to open the party's national con-
vention, a convention the outcome of
which is as clear now as it we'll can be.
The Democrats will nominate President
Franklin d. Roosevelt for reelection
and adopt a liberal platform.
For that matter, there wasn't much
more reason for a Republican conven-
ton, however.
The Democrats, all else decided up
on i'm as much detail as possible in ad-
vance, see in their national convention a
chance more than anything else to set in
motion the big guns of the approaching
campaign For once, the Democratic
convention will be a huge instrument
for creating propaganda, for expressing
the boasts of the party, and for telling
the further intentions of the New Deal.
This years Democratic convention
stands out in startling relief against
those of past campaign years. For the
first time in decades the Democrats go
to their convention as closely united as
a major party can be. Their leaders are
agreed on the candidate and on the par
tvs principles. There will be minor
decisions to be made, but such is the
unity of the Democratic party in 1886
that the major points are decided by
unanimous consent.
The hottest presidential campaign
for years may be expected this summer,
with united party against united party,
battling for popular favor and for votes.
