The Broadway of America is trans
continental highway traversing the
southern part of the United States from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. Dele
gates gathered in Ell Centre for the an
nual convention of the Broadway of
America association are confronted by
serious busineSS-the business Of pro-
noting greater travel over the highway,
and so greater prosperity for each COM
munity along its route They need and
deserve the help of every citizen of
Imperial Valley.
Already the Broadway of America
is among the nations best known high
ways Efforts of the men who make up
the Broadway association are reSpons-
ible. Through plans laid at such meet
ings as the one here this weekend, the
highway route will become more well
known and more popular, bringing tour
ist dollars to each community in direct
ratio to its attractiveness. The tourist
trade alone is worth much effort, but
there is a greater benefit to communities
such as Imperial Valley. 1t is the bene-
fit of investment attracted by a wide
spread knowledge of the community.
Imperial Valley needs only an OPP
portunity to show the opportunities 1t
offers. Such an opportunity comes in
great measure from visitors who do not
read of. but see the valley. Visitors are
encouraged to come here by good high
ways The Broadway of America is
one of the best in the country.
The aims Of the Broadway of Amer
lea association are the aims of all I'M
perial Valley Therefore it is hearty
welcome the valley extends to its del
gates.

as needed to pay the expense of
building the projected railroad on

be paid from the sale of bonds of
the district which were voted for

Peace Pariey No WashOW u. S.
4. Recruits Friends Sanctions
Sought

WASHINGTON-That Pan American peace
conference we are going to have late next sum-
mer in Buenos Aires is no empty gesture
To be quite frank about it-as NOBODY else is
being-the main idea is to Undue the Latin
American republics with pro-United States
psychology and to dssuade any of them from
getting too chummy with Japan.
The administration hopes that non-agres-
sion treaty. if not a mutual assistance pact. with
provision for economic sanctions against agrees
nations will be one result In other words,
it wants the good old Monroe doctrine to flour
ish more healthily than ever on a cooperative
basis
The Japanese have been making commercial
advances in South America, notably in Chile,
Peru, and Ecuador. They have been playing up
to the politicians of those three republics in a
manner which long ago lifted State Depart
ment eyebrows at least half an inch.
The nitrates and copper of Chile appear to
possess an especial appeal for Nippon and real
olitik" suggests to our statesmen that We should
be in position to have influence on that business
should certain eventualtieS arise.
The good neghbor policy" OF Roosevelt
which seemS to have charmed Latin America, is
regarded by insiders here shrewd from several
angles. Not only trade. but also military
naval strategy are involved
The way it works is seen in the of
the new Panama treaty After wrangling for
years over the issue of Panamanan sovereign
ty this government has negotiated a treaty which
recognizes Panama equal and makes pro-
lection of the canal and its zone theoretically
a matter of joint defense.
On paper this country has given up its right
to intervene in Panama at its discretion, al
though actually any intelligent person knows it
will intervene in case Of emergency.
The Panamanans are as pleased Punch.
The U. S. generals and admiralS baked with
more or less customary stupidity, but Secretary
Hull beat them off. From the standpoint of
defense of the canal, it seems much better to
have the PanamanianS pleased than aggreved.
James Montgomery Beck, Philadelphia eX-
CONGRESSMAN who now carries the Constitu-
ton around under his wing and keeps clucking
over it, made speech the other night to the
Rhode Island Bar Association, from which New
Dealers are mimeographing excerpts.
Beck ventured the startling opinion that
the spirit of the supreme courts decision in the
TIA case was due to enlightened expediency"
The court, he said. cannot be ignorant of the
fact that there is rising storm in Congress
to curb its powers. Mr.. Beck himself had de-
cared IVA unconstitutional.
The admission by Mr.. Beck that the court
was susceptible to outside pressure is considered
astonishing. Ant-Beck lawyers have felt that
a majority Of the justices were susceptible to the
pressure of their backgrounds as corporation
lawyers or economic prejudices, but they never
expected Mr.. Beck to admit the court to be
susceptible to such pressures or any other

If Imperial Valley merchants are
being Disseminated against unfairly in
being blocked off from trading with
employees on the Imperial Dam and ad-
iacent All American canal contracts,
steps should be taken to remedy the
situation. If, on the other hand, the
National Commissary company is act
ing strictly within its legal contract,
furnishing satisfactory service, its rights
should be honored here
Imperial Valley taXpayers-and they
include merchants and other trades
people-will have to pay for the All
American canal. 1t is only just that
they should obtain as much business as
possible, as many benefits as are pos
sible, during construction Of the project.
1t is also true, however, that the canal
will be a lasting benefit to them, far
above its cost.
The National Commissary company
has gone to considerable expense to full
fill its contract with the builders of
Imperial Dam Other bidders had an
opportunity to compete for the business.
Before any decisive action is taken,
or any indictment written of the COM
mssary company, every phase of the
situation should be investigated and con-
sidered thoroughly, to prevent injustice
to anyone-either valley business men
or the commissary company.
