The Gravest Danger
To Mexican Government

1t is strange that an imaginary line
drawn across the face of a continent
can make the difference that exists in
the few feet between the towns of Cal
exlco and Mexicali. 1t is this very diff
ference that should interest us on this
side of the line, and serve as an object
lesson. From Mexico we can take a
warning against class struggle and Com
munism.
A man was shot three times through
the body in Mexicali Wednesday night
merely because he was among the lead
ers IN protest strike against Agrarian
seizure of small farm lands in Baja
California. The Agrarian program is
sponsored by the Mexican federal gov
ernment. The mans assalants may
never be prosecuted, merely because of
the strength of the Agrarian movement
III BaJa California, and because it has
the support of the government.
Imagine that happening on this side
of the international line.
The Agrarians, feeling the heady
strength of government support and
weakening opposition, already have de-
manded that their own men be put in
place of police officers and rurales
territorial police officers), and that ev-
cry Agrarian be allowed to carry fire
arms. The Agrarians, in other words,
want to take over the government of
BaJa California in everything but name
and possibly in name, too, later.
The shooting of Wednesday night re-
veals what would be the result of Agrar-
ian police domination. There would be
the beginning of a reign of terror seldom
equalled on this peaceful continent
Glass warfare would be bitter at first,
but it would not last long-because there
would be only one class left in Baja
California.
What is happening in Baja California
will happen in any territory, state or
nation where class warefare is allowed
to spread under government sanction.
One class-the largest one numerically
will triumph by mere strength of
numbers because there is no government
tai restriction, and freedom will have
become a thing of the past.
In our own country there are forces
attempting even now to bring about a
greater class consciousness, to promote
struggle between factions of the popula-
tion, and to bring one class dominent
over all others.
If that aim is accomplished, there will
not be such great difference where the
imaginary line divides Baja California
from Imperial county.

Famous Sayings -
Bruce Carton Says:
- Aviation Points Way to Worldwide Unity

An important little anniversary
skipped by unnoticed the other
day. Pan American Always COM
pleted the second year of regularly
scheduled commercial ocean flying
In the Pacific-and wrote into the
records books one of the most re
markable records in the history of
aviation.
Simply to add up the statistics
on those two years Is to miss the
point of the story. 1t is interesting,
of course, to note that the third
year of ocean flying began with
the l63rd scheduled flight across
the Pacific, and that the Clipper
planes have transported more than
3,50O0OO letters, upwards of half
million tons of freight and nearly
1000 passengers.
Yet these figures don't tell the
story. 1t is the less spectacular re-
ports, which show group of skill
led technicians getting a tough
job down pat, that are really signi-
ficant.
One of these. for a sample. is the
story of how the Hawaii Clipper

The Road to
Personal Happiness

This would be a brighter, happier
world if more people enjoyed the view
point of Albert Dionne cousin of the
famous quintuplets' father, who is la
boring in Imperial Valleys harvest
fields. Albert Dionne, father of nine
children, declared he would not trade
one of the nine for all the riches the
quintuplets have or will earn, for, says
he, Happiness with your children is
worth far more than wealth if separated
from them"
This unpretentious field worker, by
the accident of birth linked with fame,
has learned the lesson which so many
people never learn - that money is a
measure of wealth, but that wealth is
not a measure of happiness. Happiness
is an inner quality, derived from personal
achievements or observation or friend
ship or any one of thousand other
things. 1t is within the grasp of every
one.
Neither fame nor wealth nor power
can bring happiness. 1t comes from the
little things, the every dag things. 1t
is, to put it tritely, all in the way we
look at it.

For they're hunting hard and

The poor little fox dashes, dou-

IN place he believes secure

They fly on past, two twenty-odd

Can't miss him! Hark! They
