electrification plans of the
Imperial Irrigation district
received boost + I d ay
when the District of Colum-
bia supreme court declared con-
stitutional the New Deal allot-
ments to finance municipal power
projects under the work relief
program.
While the District of Columbia
court case ultimately will be ap-
pealed to the United States SUI
preme court, the decision had
an encouraging effect upon the
Imperial districts application for
S11 100000 for complete electrifi-
cation of Imperial and CCachella
Valleys, district officials said.
The district applied for the
funds through the Public Works
administration last summer to con-
struct two hydro-plants on the
All American canal and for the
plants, transmission and distribu-
ton systems in the two valleys,
according to M. j. Dowd, chief
engineer.
1t also was pointed out that
the decision will affect PWA and
Rural Electrification financing
projects.
Another Hurdle
Evan T. HeWes, chairman of the
district board of directors, said the
decision represented another hur-
die over which power development
projects must be taken. He in
terpreted the ruling as most adj
vantageouS to the district as it
removed a temporary restraining
order preventing the issuance of
funds. He anticipates the WPA
will make loans Immediately TO
projects ready to receive them.
The one-judge decision was made
personally by Chief Justice Alfred
A Wheat. 1t came after a month
long trial of four utility companies
dGbdChlllS Jiit it-tllpiOJl JllitAlb az
tivity as outside the law.
The decision was an out-and-out
defeat for power interests seeking
to stop Public Works Administra-
tor Harold l.. Ickes from using
federal funds to finance publicly
owned electricity plants, transmits
sion and distribution systems with
loans and grants.
Chief Justice Wheat made three
rulings on the case:
/. That the companies had
right to test constitutionality of
the program.
2. That congress had a constitu-
tional right TO delegate powers
to President Roosevelt, and then
to Ickes to finance municipal
power projects.
3. That Ickes acted legally in
carrying out mandates of Con-
gress in its authorizing legisla-
ton.

believed by observers of Oriental
affairs as intended to force the
hand of Gen. Chang Kai-Shek,
northern war lord, and compel
him to resist the japanese, which
would result in his inevitable de-
feat and overthrow. Canton might
then be able to make a deal where
by it could gain control of the
rich Yangste valley, under deal
giving Japan a free hand in the

Scooping the Staff

ScOOping the Staff
RR may get skinned alive for
this, but for once he's going to
scoop the staff of this newspaper
by getting into print first. No pub
lie mention has been made Of it
yet, it seems. So here it is: A
week from Sunday the Post-Press
will issue the most complete, most
attractive and most authentic spe-
cial edition ever printed in Imperial
Valley, dealing entirely with cause,
construction and effects of the All
American canal. RR thought he
knew something about the canal
before he began to delve into the
matter. He knows great deal
more ncX-and still hasn't finished
learning. RR is willing to offer,
here and now, fifty bucks to the
persons, not an engineer, contractor,
irrigation district official or en-
ploye Of the PoSt-PreSS, who knows
onc-tcnth as much about the canal
as this special edition will carry.

FACING TEST

DR.. Raphael Harwood Miller,
pastor Of the National City Christ
ian Church, in a sermon last night
declared churches Of America face
a supreme decision affecting the
removal Of obstacles blocking
church unification if they are to
contribute collectively as an inSti-
tuition to the unification Of civili-
zation.
Closing q week Of evangelistic
preaching that followed the Ma
tional Preaching Missions sessions
here two weeks ago, DR.. Miller
stated that the world situation Is
challenge to the churches to
unite for application Of moral and
spiritual incentives without which
the ideals of peace and neighbor-
illness could not be made effective.
DR.. Miller praised the Pan
American Peace Conference as an
agency for establishing peace in
the Western Hemisphere, but
added the church could decide, If
united, whether a totalitarian
state governed by Fascist or Com
munistic principles should rule. or
whether a universal neighborhood
under the spirit and precepts Of
Christ's teachings should prevail.

u. 5. PRESENTS
PEACE PACT
TO PARLEY

BUENos AIRES, Dec. 7
d.NSJ.-A draft neutrality ac-
cord presented by the United
States will be filed formally to-
day with the Inter.American Con.
ference for the Maintenance Of
Peace. along with proposals sub
mitted by several other delega-
tions.
All are aimed at increasing
Inter-American good will and
leSSening the chances Of war.
The delegations to the confer
ence generally considered the
American anti-war and neutrality
convention the most important
offering so far submitted, but
almost equal interest was shown
in the proposal Brazil will offer
for changing the Monroe Doc
trine into a multi-lateral pact
with all American countries given
equality.
End Resentment
This proposal, If carried out,
would remove the cause for re-
sentiment of many South Ameri-
can nations against what they
have considered the ''imperialis-
tic" attitude Of the United
States.
There were indications the
United States would not attempt
to obstruct such move if the
majority Of Americans favor it.
All this week will be taken up
by committees considering various
proposals and there will be no
plenary session of the conference
perhaps until after December IS,
which is the deadline for new
suggestions.
The American draft convention
aims at preserving peace in the
American Hemisphere and lsolat-
ing its nations from wars that
may develop in other parts Of the
world.
Permanent Committee
The plan would bar shipments
of arms and war implements to
belligerents anywhere and would
establish a committee Of the 81
American foreign ministers for
the purpose of mediating disputes
threatening world peace. This COM
mittee could offer its services any
where in the world where such
a dispute arose.
The United States also presented
a cultural agreement to the con-
ference, providing for exchange OF
teachers and students by the
American nations.

SMOKING HELD
LESSER EVIL

Taking a rap at nicotine alarm
lists" who appeared before the
Board of Education last week in
protest against the use Of tobacco
by teachers, the Rev. Howard
stone Anderson last night told his
pariShonerS at the First Congre-
gational Church that in combat
ing evil they should concentrate
on the more serious social ills.
Himself disclaiming use Of TO-
bacco, the pastor said he does
not consider smoking, card play
ing, and dancing as being in the
same class as drinking, gambling
or illegal use Of narcotics.
He declared:
1--WE church people make our
selves futile and ridiculous when
we try to regulate every per.
sOnaI habit Of our members. We
diSSipate our energies on lesser
things and forget the personal
sins Of greed, selfiShneSS and
intemperance, and the social
sins of war, discrimination and
exploitation"
Speaking on the question "Is the
Use of Tobacco Wrong for Pro-
Tossing Christian" Rev. Anderson
did not directly mention the dele
CATION which appeared before the

proximately so organizations, ad-
