RELIEF LABOR WOULD
RETARD IMPERIAL DAM.

The Imperial county board of super
rtsOrs, H a telegram to Relief Admin
istrGt0r Harry L. Hopkins, urged re-
consideration of ruling UIiich lcOuId
require so per cent relief labor on I'm
peridt Dam and desiIting ICOrks. Such
tabor ICOutd retGrd construction of the
dam, be more costly, and perhaps re-
suit in ioedker construction.
Construction of Imperial Dam and
desilting works is not relief project
It was planned long before the current
relief program came into being 1t was
provided for by the government, even,
before then. The relief matter is merely
a sidelight on construction of the dam
needed so badly to insure the future of
Imperial Valley. 1t should not be allow
ed by Relief Administrator Hopkins ore
anyone else to be hindered by such
ruling as that which would require 80
per cent labor direct from relief rolls.
There are not enough men on relief
in Imperial county to provide 80 per
cent of the labOrers needed on the dam.
OF those on relief, very few are fitted
by training or knowledge to take part
i'm such construction work The relief
rolls here are made up largely of agri-
cultural laborers, and they will be need
ed in short time to harvest the cantal-
oupe crop. To place them on cOnstruc-
tion jobs would work hardship on the
vegetable industry, as we'll as on con-
tractors whose job it is to build the DAM
If the 90 per cent ruling must be
carried through, there is only one alter
native That is importation of relief
workers from other counties. Such a
move would leave many of the jobless
in Imperial county after construction OF
the dam is finished, contingency I'M
perial county is not prepared to meet.
In its longtime planning for social
security, the administration could find
few projects worthier than the All
American canal and Imperial Dam, for
they will mean increased prosperity here,
and resulting increase in the number
Of jobs available.
Hopkins will be making no mistake
if he allows employment of construction
men who need the work, but are not on
relief. He will be making grave mis-
take if he enforces the 80 per cent relief
labor rule, insofar as Imperial Dam is
concerned.

News Behind the News
Sure Signs of NeW Legislation :.
Merchant Marines Hare Landed -.
Who Gets The Crazy? =.

WAsHINGTON.-Even if you hadn't heard
that merchant marine legislation was in the
making. you'd be aware OF it from mere observa-
tion of the lobbyists lately Swarming around
town like flies over molasses barrel.
The real issue is whether, after all these
years provision is TO be made fer an adequate
merchant marine or whether subsidies again are
to be handed out with eye primarily Solici-
tiouS fer the profits of ship operators already
deeply in hook to the government
Various schemes have been tried and have
resulted in many scandals and big profits for
some promoters-but not in real merchant
marine or the promise of one.
Recent events have moved toward a climax
to a long behind-the-scenes wrangle between the
Commerce Department, which believes in making
shipping interests happy at all costs. and the
PoStoffice Department. which has fought for
reform and a policy which will assure replace
ments in the merchant marine fleet. all but %
Cf whose more than 300 mail-carryng vessels
were built before the World War or soon after
ward
Senator Joe Guffey of Pennsylvania close
to the administration and especially to Post
master General Farley introduced strong mer-
chant marine bill which had the secret backing
Of the Postoffice Department. This measure
is so rigid in its requirements as to be unpal-
atable to ship operators,
These various tactical measures had the
effect OF causing John NJ johnson, assistant Sec
retary of commerce, and James Peacock, shipping
board bureau director, to agree TO certain oe-
mands of Karl Crowley, postCffice solicitor, with
the result that Senator Copeland of New York
chairman of the Senate Commerce committee,
able tC introduce a patchwork compromise
bill which appears to be satisfactory to nobody.
The Guffey bill would create maritime
commission which would lay down a longtime
replacement program.
Operators who want to build new ships
would be subsidized at the rate of dollar Of
gift and a dollar of lCw-interest loan for every
dollar they themselves invest. When operators
failed to build, the commission itself would build
necessary ships and charter them.
The Guffey bill would mean a certain pro-
portion of government ownership, since many
operators in an industry so per cent of which is
owned by the government already, can't afford
to build ships even with a two-thirds subsidy.
Profits over 10 per cent would be divided
between government and operator with replace
ment features, and construction profit would be
limited to 10 per cent. Salaries would be limit
ed to $4,000 year.
Existing mail contracts would be Cancelled
and operators might sue in the Court of Claims
CT apply for adjustments. Subsidized operators
would be forbidden to set up affiliateS and sub
sdaries such as those through which some have
drained off profits while failing to fulfil cen
tractual obligations with the government.
Shipping operators perfer the Copeland bill
but much mere prefer continuation of their
present S30O00OOO a year in mail subsidies.

THE POT DISCIPLIlNES
THE KETTLE.

A senator on the Black lobby inUesti-
CATION committee at Washington sar-
casticaIiy referred TO the "sucker list
of the American Taxpayers League.
An agent of the league retdtidted by
calling the committee ga pOtecat COM
mittee" He Uas threatened Uith con-
tempt of senate proceedings, and sub
sided. 1t all depends on lchO calls
the names.
These senate investigating commit
tees seem to harbor rather ridiculous
resentment against the harangues of
their witnesses. Perhaps they're right,
but offhand it seems that the American
Taxpayers League no more would like
to be said to keep a Sucker list than
the committee would like to be called
"polecat committee" If the boys must
fight like that, it seems they should
fight in the open. Otherwise all hands
might try being gentlemen.
The committee wields a great power
for propaganda. That power becomes
almost dictatorial unless the witnesses,
too, can break forth into vocal wrath
once in while without being threatened
with contempt of senate proceedings
Besides, it is the supposed aim of the
committee to get the facts.
They might investigate to determine
if it is a sucker list"

SYMBOL OF SOVIETISM
tChristiar Science Monitor)

Outer Mongolia means something more to
Soviet Russia than a useful outlet for its goods
and the fact that it is a strategic area between
Japan and Siberia. The deeper meaning of
Outer Mongolia which students of Far Eastern
affairs cannot afford to overlook, was emphaS
lied by the recent elaborate reception in Moscow
to MCngolian leaders
For fourteen years Outer Mongolia has been
the only real Soviet government beyond Russia'S
borders, fer the Soviet Republic in China proper
has never become mere than a portable admin
istration attached to itinerant Red armies. Un-
der Soviet tutelage the people Of Outer Mon
golia have dispCssessed their princes and lamas,
have carried out reforms on the Russian model,
and have aroused political consciousness in the
Mongolian "proletariat."
Having assisted the Mongolian Peoples Re-
public for fourteen years, having completely re-
organized the economic and political system of
this Asiatic people, is it now possible Moscow
will permit this sister Soviet republic" tO be
overwhelmed by japanese pressure? The an
swer-an emphatic mo" given by Stain in an
interview with Ray Howard-has international

And you lucky normal weights
