HOW ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
AFFECT IMPERIAL VALLEY

Strikes in the automobile industry and
on the waterfront, freezing weather IN
southern California and floods In the
Mississippi basin do affect the pocket
book of every man who has pocket
book-and the we'll being of every man
who hasn't. Imperial Valley has felt
only the freezing weather-and that to
a comparatively mild degree-but lmpe-
rial Valley suffers with the rest of the
nation from the economic tragedies.
The automotive strike is felt in every
automobile agency in Imperial Valley
It costs the jobs of hundreds of sales
men throughout California. Ita prevents
delivery of new cars, sale OF gasoline,
collection of the gasoline tax, and reach
es in numerous other ways into the
depths of every mans pocket Through
out the nation, it. has thrown hundreds
of thousands of innocent workers, per-
haps not directly connected with the
Automobile industry, out OF work.
The maritime strike has been felt In
increased prices for almost all commo-
dities, in Imperial Valley as well as
elsewhere. Building materials have sky
rocketed out of price, making nome
construction too costly for most indlvl-
duals. Food, freight and other transpor-
tation costs have mounted. Farmers
cannot ship their produce for reason
able sum.
The Mississippi basin floods will drain
millions of dollars from the national
pocketbook for relief alone. Purchasing
power will be lost there, as it has been
in areas in the strike territory. Imperial
Valley produce will not be in demand
there nor will the produce from many
other regions.
The cold wave in the California citrus
belt, costing millions of dollars, has de-
creased purchasing power in commune
ties which might be served by Imperial
Valley, and has lessened production in
the valley itself
Through all of these stretches the
need for relief to those most drastically
affected. The total in dollars will be a
staggering one.
If ever there was time to cast aside
*internal strife for national unity in
the face of disaster, this is the time.

THE FLOOD, THE STRIKES
AND THE PRESIDENT

If ever Franklin d. Roosevelt called
upon the vocabulary of his namesake
Teddy. for words of action, now is the
time. Teddy's big Stick" would stand
Franklin in mighty good stead in deal
ing with the double problem of strikes
and floods, the one inflicted by the cap
rice of mankind, the other by Mother
Nature. No one can help the floods;
someone could stop the strikes.
The President is in very embarrass-
ing position. John l.. Lewis, who raised
100000 for the campaign fund to re-
elect Roosevelt, is proving that he in
tended to buy the good graces of the
White House with that money. He did
Roosevelt a favor-now he wants ia
vor. He wants the federal government
to coerce the automobile industry into
servility to union labor. Worse, the
union labor favored by Lewis is a dis
tinct minority in the ranks of automo-
bile industry workers.
If Roosevelt capitulates to Lewis, he
is not he man he has seemed to be.
Meanwhile, unheeding of the petty
strife of mankind, Mother Nature has
inflicted suffering on hundreds of thou
sands of persons whose only fault was
that they lived in the path of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. Their plight has
become a national tragedy. 1t is one
that demands government intervention,
with all the energy at the hands OF the
government. And that government is
busy at the present moment with the
ambitions of a loud-voiced organizer
who is attempting to make himself the
czar of industry through labor.
If ever there was time when the
President should say to any group:
Hands off! Wait until we've disposed
of the problems put upon us by ma
ture,' now is the time. If John L. Lewis
and his followers had at heart the wei
fare of the country, or even the wei
fare of the national administration, the
automobile workers would go back to
their Jobs, at least until the tragedy OF
the Mississippi floods has been allevl-
ated.
On the brink of recovery, progress
has been brought almost to standstlll
by nature and man. Man can do moth
ing about nature-but he certainly can
control his own actions. If he will not,
someone else should do it for him. John
l.. Lewis will not do it. The federal

World Needn't Choose Between Two Isms

Perhaps one of the best lessons
we can learn these days is that the
world is not, after all. painted in
solid blacks and whites
Too many people are trying to
persuade us that 1t Is; that we are
going to have to make choice be-
tween two extremes, that the time
for compromise is over, that there
is only one fork in the road ahead.
Thus. for instance, we find COL
Gen. Hermann Goering, Hitler's
right-hand man, telling an Italian
audience that Europe today is divid-
ed between countries of order en-
lightenment, and good faith" and
those of destruction and blood
she'd"
"A great test" he added, will
demonstrate which of these two
will prevail in Europe"
BY all of which, of course, the
German officer meant that Europe
is going to have to choose between
Communism and Fascism.
Now If we took his word for it,
we should have to admit that the
world is facing a pretty dark and
dismal future. People who don't
happen to care for either Commun-
ism or Fascism-and in this coun-
try. and very likely in Europe as
we'll. they are in the majority
would have no place to go.
But the thing to remmeber is that
both of these isms are counsels OF
despair. People accept them only
when they are desperate.
A world which is compelled to
choose between two ruthless des-
potisms is world which has lost
Imperial Valley press., 1937-01-27

all hope, all self-reliance, all con-
fidence in its ability to think It's
way out of its troubles.
Why, then, should we let people
tell us that we have to swallow one
or the other? Why let ourselves be
convinced that the world is made
up TO solid blacks and whites, with
no intermediate shadings?
After all, such countries as Eng
land, France the United States,
the Scandinavian nations, and the
great British dominions are doing
pretty fair job of working out
their salvation without resorting
dictatorship. Are they going Y
drop everything and follow meekiy
in the train of Germany or Russia!
AS a matter of fact, the greatest
moment of danger is past. II pass
ed when the democratic nations OF
the world began to come up from
the pit of depression.
The Communism Or Fascism ar
gument had more force four years
ago than it has today. Hope has
been reborn in the lands where
men can think, speak, and vote as
they please.
Some great test" of the kind
which Herr Goering mentions prob
ably is coming in Europe. But IN
stead of leading the whole continent
to the red flag or the swastika, the
result may be an unpleasant sur
prise to the complacent, partlsans
of both of those grim banners.
