7. The good neighbor policy of
the Americas is an accomplished
fact.

blocked by only 10 or Is per cent
Of the worlds population.
Q. The new deal has incurred
the hatred of "entrenched greed"

Il. Attempts to reduce world arm
aments have broken down.
Mr.. Roosevelt devoted the first
half of his annual message 10 the
disturbing situation abroad. The
Americas, he said, comprising ESQ.,
100000 people and spreading more
than 5000 miles from the arctic
to the antarctic believe in and
propose to follow the policy of the
good neighbor.
They wish with all their hearts,
he said, that the rest of the world
would do likewise. The rest of the
world-ahl There is the rub"
The policy of this nation, he
continued, has been clear and con-
sistent in seeking to limit world
ornaments and TO attain the peace
full solution of disputes among the
world powers. In the field of COM
merce, Mr.. Roosevelt said, this
country has undertaken to encour-
age a more reasonable interchange
of the worlds goods.
This government, he continued,
is following a two-fold neutrality
policy; first to decline to encourage
prosecution of war by permitting
belligerents to obtain arms, am
munition or implements of war
from the United States; second, to
discourage the use by belligerentS
of any and all American products
calculated to facilitate the prosecu-
ton of war in quantities over and
above our normal exports to them
in time of peace.
Several paragraphs in his ad-
dress invoked widespread specula-
tiCn. One was:
II am confident that the. con-
gress of the United States well un-
derstands the facts that is ready
to wage unceasing warfare against
those who seek a continuation OF
the spirit of fear. The carrying
out of the laws of the land as en-
acted by the congress requires pro-
lection until final adjudication by
the highest tribunal of the land.

burden" he declared. Actually,
only from 10 to 25 per cent of the
total is used by the state, the rest
being collected through it as agency
but turned over to counties, school
districts, cities, etc, as required
by law.
Sums Broken Down
OF the more than 400 million an
nual budget, only 13 million is
spent by the state as such, he ex-
planned, 100 million going to- cities,
similar sum to counties, 127
million to school districts and the
balance to miscellaneous divisions.
Relief is one of the most difficult
problems, as is the necessity of
maintaining penitentiaries, old
peoples homes, and similar insti-
buttons.
Senator Hulse introduced Sem
ator Fletcher who declared that
the difficulties of the last legisla-
tive session resulted from heavy
demands upon the state.
More than nine-tentns of the
tuition or statute, he said. 1.-THE
legislature has no recourse when
the state is compelled to collect
sums and pay to counties, and at
the same time maintain institu-
tions which are doubling their &C.
cupants every five years. Only Is
million of the total really COM
priseS the state budget"
Voter Responsible
1.-The voter must take more in

stand that they must demand less
or be taxed mere" ~
Senator Fletcher pledged his
assistance in any road development
which would tend toward opening
southern California to touriS t
travel.
Assemblyman Walker explained
that, while the legislature was
confronted with serious problems,
he considered most of them were
solved in the best possible manner.
OF the total budget, he said, only
81 percent was for state gov
eminent, while more than half
was for counties. School help to
counties has increased more than
80 millions in two years, he said,
and 48 million goes toward caring
for unemployed. Almost II mil
lion goes to interest and retirement
of bonds.
Hulse Praised
Senator Fletcher paid high tri-
butte to Sen. Hulse for the latter's
unremitting effort in behalf OF
meritorious legislation during the
last session of the legislature.

OPPOSITION
GIVEN BLOW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. U.p-Op-
position to President Rooseyelt's
neutrality program melted rapidly
today in the face of surprisingly
drastic administration proposal to
guarantee this nations peace in the
event of another major war.
The presidents suggestions went
so far along the road to rigid neu-
trality that even the most ardent
isolationists hesitated to oppose it.
Supporters of the cash and car
ry" plan advanced earlier by the
Senate munitions committee said
the administrations proposal rep
reSentS a great advance of historic
Importance" They insisted, how
ever, the president should not be
given too much discretion in pro-
claiming arms embargoes. They plan
to press for enactment Of their orig
inal program.
Pittman Optimistic
Chairman Key Pitman of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee,
sponsor Of the New Deal proposal in
the Senate, said there was no reason
why the legislation should not be
pushed to vote next week.
There are number of provisions
giving the president wide discretion
which we believe should be tight
ened." the so-called congressional
neutrality bloc declared in state
ment issued over the signatures of
Senators Gerald P. Nye, r., N. D.,
Bennett Clark, D., Mo, and Rep.
Maury Maverick, D., Tex.
I'VE will insist that the arms en-
barge apply automatically on the
outbreak of war-and not at any
time during the duration of war
as in the administration bill. We will
also insist that American shipping
be kept out of danger zones.

Boys Brought Flood" by

 They killed too many green liz ards, the teacher said the boys confided to her.
 The boys, having faith in the old belief that Killing Hazards and turning their bellies up to the sun will bring rain, staged a wholesale slaughter of lizards when the com munity needed rain badly. The next day rain started falling and didn't stop until the city was flooded.
