PARTITION FOES
RALLY TO FIGHT
FOR WHOLE ZION
Jewish Agency Council
Scene of New Battle

ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. IL
d.N.S).-opponents Of Palestine's
partition, far from routed by the
300 to 1853 acceptance in principle
Of the idea by the World Zionist
Congress, today rallied their
forces for a more fervid battle rs
they awaited reinforcements com.
ing for the meeting, August 10, of
the Jewish agency council.
Almost solid enmity for the par.
tition scheme is expected from the
non-Zionist section Of the agency,
which has q voting power Of so
per cent. The Zionist half, how.
ever, believes its view, as voted by
the majority Of the Congress, will
Prevail in the end.
UNITY THREATENED
Many thought the fight may be
so violent that continued unified
existence Of the agency may be
threatened.
At the head Of a powerful Amer
lean non-Zionist delegation, Felix
M. Warburg, New York banker,
who Is expected to be the most
influential opponent of splitting
Palestine. was en- route to Europe
today.
Non-ZionistS stressed that the
Jewish agency, rather than the
Zionist group, is authorized under
the British mandate to advise
with Britain on matters Of Pales-
tine policy.
NOT FINAL ACTION
Those who voted yesterday in
favor Of authorizing DR.. Chain
Weizmann, Zionist president, to
negotiate with Britain regarding
possible establishment of an indie.
pendent Jewish state in a divided
Palestine, argued today that
the move did not definitely COM
NIT zioniSm to partition.
The resolution, it was pointed
out, called for another especially
elected congress to accept or reject
the results Of the negotiation.
Anti-partitioniStS, however, said
acceptance Of the idea of negotia-
tionS more or less binds Zionists
to support whatever plan results.
If the future congress, they con-
tended, rejects the prospective
state plan, it will be even more
difficult than now for Jews to
carry on in Palestine under the
British mandate.

PEOPLE GET
WHOLESALE
OWNERSHIP
Voting "NO" Means
District TO Sell
More Canal POiUer

II is possible for the voters 4
the Imperial Valley next Wednes-
day to vote for District oWnersh.c
of All American Canal power, all
that can be produced by the wate'
that will flow through the canal.
Under that plan, however, there
will be no more bonds.
The politicians will have to De
content with being in the whole
sale power business instead of the
retail business.
They will have to forego the
pleasure OF having a large force
of employees to do politics with.
They will have to be prepared
to do a much larger business, han
ding the full output of our power
plants instead of one; but 1t will
not be nearly as much work. There
will have to be plant operators TO
see that the machinery runs; and
that is about all. There will not be
much for the politicians to do.
They will have to be content
with the elimination of competi-
tive power fight, which they would
MT like SO much for they know
that one way to keep people con-
fused is to have fight going on
They would have to learn what
cooperation" means a word
that is not in the dictionaries OF
most politicians and one they have
refused to look up thus far.
They wouldn't get their hands
on a lot of money because it would
be used in paying for the hydro
plants. the All American canal and
a few things like that.
They wouldn't be able to point
to a championship record as SPEND
ers with top-notch per capita
debt. because $50 of their total
present debts would be paid off out
of their wholesale business.
Instead of fighting for a part OF
the business of the Imperial Vail
lev, consuming a comparatively
small percentage of all the poten-
tial power from the canal, they
would be transporting it over
large power system, which does
not now have the facilities to
manufacture all it's own power and
is making large purchases and
would take all surplus canal pow
er.
They would be able to improve
the credit of the Imperial Valley
attract land bank loans, increase
farm land values and begin to live
within their means.
In other words, they would be
on a business basis instead OF
political basis, possibly living with
in their income in their water busi-
ness as we'll as their power busi-
ness.
All of this can be accomplished
next Wednesday merely by voting
mo" on two unnecessary bond
issues, and accepting a very favor
able financial credit and power
sales contract. That is all.
THE ALTERNATIVE
DANGEROUS
And what will the alternative be?
It will make possible a political
power system in the Imperial VAL
lev in competition with an estab-
lished privately owned power bulsi-
ness for 80 years TO come.
1t will mean millions of more
dollars turned over to political
management, piling bonds upon un-
paid bonds.
II will mean one small power
nlont operation on the canal in
stead of four plants.

He knows that if you don't vote these bonds and
get an independent Reclamation engineers report on
the proposal that requires bonds, that would
finance four power plants instead of one reduce the
District debt by 65 per cent including for the All
American Canal with profit, and take power out
of politics, he will forever have lost his strangling
clutch on the political life of the Imperial Valley
He knows that he has to keep YOU hoodwinked
only few days more and he will have you hooked
for good, if you will just vote these bonds. He is
sure that if you once get started in power fight,
he may have up to SIS, 900 power bond money in
all, to spend before he is through Gle at one time
asked for more than that amount.)
He knows that the only way this calamity can
be averted and safe and All American canal
power program secured is to vote mo" on both
bond issues next Wednesday.
He wants your votes Wednesday in order to call
it mandate' of the people against any cooperative
power plan.
MR. VOTER AND TAXPAYER, DO YOU

ARE YOU LED AROUND BY THE NOSE BY A
DISTRICT POLITICIAN?

All the District Political Sbender is fter is Your None
Political Dictatorship for Himself

He has squeezed the farmer dry in water rates
and taxes.
Now he is reaching for the electricity in your
home 4.kslH
Practically every rural farmer in the Valley
would have had electricity in his home during the
heat of last summer if he had not been blocked by
the District politicians.
A few weeks ago, the latter sponsored bill at

HE HAS PETITIONED FOR BANKRUPTCY
IN HANDLING THE BUSINESS YOU ELECTED
HIM TO MANAGE, ACCUMULATING DEBTS OF
MORE THAN $42,OOO,OOO AND ADDING MORE
THAN $16000000 IN NEW INTEREST TO S16,-
100000 IN BONDS. MAKING THE TOTAL THAN
$540OOOOO IN PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.
He has piled a debt on your District of 229 per
cent of its county assessed valuation, while the best
authorities say Is per cent is considered the maxi
mum without overburden.
The California Taxpayers Association recently
reported that he has given you a District tax rate
that may be minimum of $500 for the next 80 years

In 1892 he Refunded $S7S,OOO in registered
warrants by adding 900 in interest.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-11

THIS DISASTROUS SITUATION HAS BEEN
BROUGHT ABOUT BY HIS ISSUANCE OF TOO
MANY LONG-TERM BONDS.
Having failed in all past bond issues, he now
calls proposed new issue contract authorizing
revenue" bonds and promises that these bonds will
be paid by the homeowners and others in electric
light and power bills, AND THAT THEY VOD
ARE THE ONES WHO WILL PAY OFF THE
ALL AMERICAN CANAL DEBTS.
He doesn't care whether not there is perma-
nent and disastrous power war, if he have some
of the money to spend; and, Judging from his past
record he doesn't care whether his business
venture, like his other is financial failure not.
He didn't have the courage or fairness to allow
a cooperative power plan, that would have elimnat-
ed uneconomc duplication and waste to be examined
by Independent government engineers and be
voted on by you. He said officially that he didn't
want any kind of cooperation
-
He knew that honest experts would have report
ed the cooperative power plan the most economical
and profitable for the District; but being politician
what did he care about that?
The District politician knows that if he can get
you to vote those first little power bond issues next
Wednesday, he has you hooked for the next 30 years
in a political power fight just as he has had you
hooked in the past in the political water game. Then
watch him put on the boycott and business pressure

Bob
Moore
Says:
Will There Be Taxes?

The District politicians would like
TO have the voters believe that.
through some hocuS- pocus, there
will be no taxes required in the
future TO eXtricate the District from
its financial morass, and that one
way to do this is to vote more bonds.

The Only Tax Relief

The Only Tax Relief
The only real tax relief in sight
for the valley is to vote down the
bond issues on June l6 and enter
into a contract with the Nevada
California Electric Company to fl
nance the building of power
plants on the All-American Canal.
purchase all of the power, paying
more than $35,000000, therefore re-
ducing the Irrigation District to-
tai debt by 659o, which includes pay
ing for the All-American Canal.
There is no other way open at this
time TO give substantial tax relief.
II Never Did Happen
Never, in the history of political
subdivisions, has the voting OF bonds
reduced taxes and 1t will not do so
IN this instance. No sane business
man, faced IN his own affairs with
bankruptcy, would be considered
sane if he should undertake a pro-
gram comparable to that which the
people are asked by the politicians
to support on June lG.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-11
Taxes AS Sure As Death

There is an old saw that nothing
is certain but death and taxes.
Never was this more true than in
the Imperial Irrigation District. No
less an authority than the Califor-
MIA Taxpayers Association empha-
sized this fact in a recent study OF
the debt burden in Imperial Val
ley, when it said that tax OF $500
on land faces the owners for more
than 35 years.

VATICAN CITY, May 26.-The
Vatican was reported ready today to
spurn formal protest by the German
government against anti-Nazi utter
ances of George Cardinal Mundelein
Of Chicago.
officials of the Holy See said no
reply had been made to the protest
and indicated that none would be
made because OF the authoritative po-
sition the American prelate holds as
head of his own diocese
Since the controversy broke over
the cardinals slap at Hitler, the Vati-
can position has been stated informal
ly to be that Cardinal Mundelein was
free to speak to his own people as he
thought best.
Vatican's Stand Held UNCHANGED,
There was no indication here that
the formal protest entered by Diego
Won Bergen, German Ambassador to
the Vatican, brought any change in
the Holy Sees attitude.
The protest presented to the Vati-
can secretariat of state included an
objection to the American cardinals
description of the German trials of
priests and lay brothers on immortality
charges as propaganda worse than the
atrocity tales of the World War.
In Berlin official sources said the
government was interested primarily
in hearing whether Pope Plus asso-
ciates himself with or disavoWs Car
dinal Mundelein's statements.
Nazi Opinion Of Attack.
(The attack was considered by
Nazis as a defamation of the German
courts as well as an insult to the
| chancellor Of the Reich.
Much of the press campaign In
Germany against the cardinal made
clear that his remarks were consid-
| cred to have been inspired by the
Catholic Church as the opening gun Of
campaign against Germany.
Chicago was chosen for the attack,
German sources declared, because the
church viewed the United States as
the best place from which to strike at
Germany
Reliable sources believed the papal
secretary of state Cardinal Pacelli,
would explain to Won Bergen, politely
but firmly. that the church could not
interfere In the personal political pro-
nouncements or opinions OF American
citizens.
Such precedent, it was said, had
been established in the case of Father
Charles Coughlin Of Detroit during
the recent American political cam
paign.
At that time. 1t was recalled, the
holy father steadfastly denied any
intention of intervening to modify the
Detroit priests political activity, al
though the Official Vatican organ, Os-
servatore Romano. deplored the tone
Of his language.
