CONFERENCE
UPON DEFENSE

LONDON. May IA UP) - Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin opened
an Imperial conference-a veritable
British league of nationS-today on
the keynote of a national defense
program which would free the
mother country from the menace Of
attack.
Nearing the end of a long polite
al carer, speaking with the quiet
firmness of a man addressing
friends. Baldwin faced delegates
representing countries peopled by
425 100000 British subjects and at
the outset of his opening speech
showed what was uppermoSt III
British minds.
He referred to THE ruinous race
of rearmament" and continued:
With so many of the most pow
erul nations of the world expanding
their armed forces we in this coun-
try have decided that it is our duty
to put our own defenseS in order
at a cost the magnitude of which
you know. THAT is, $7,500000, ,000J
I'VE deplore the necessity but we
have no choice.
We shoulder that burden for the
security of this island which is. .stil!
the heart of the empire, but also
that We may be equipped to fulfill
our responsibilities in guarding the
security of the empire overseas and
as a loyal member of the League Of
Nations"

Il. That the district board at
once formally communicate with
the proper officials of the Public
Works Administration at Washing
ton requesting ruling as to
whether it will be possible to have
a redistribution of the proposed
grant and loan such as to permit
the entire amount to be used in
the construction of power plants
and equipment on the All Ameri-
can canal rather than for the pur-
poses of the construction of dupli-
eating distribution lines and stand
by facilities as now called for, pro-
videi the qualified electors of I'M
perial Valley will approve of such
q change in plan.
y. That at the time the election
is held for the purpose of approx
ing the. issue of revenue bonds,
there be submitted to the electors
an opportunity to express their
choice between acceptance OF the
company's offer or proceeding with
the competitive program.
"3 That your board of directors
promptly submit the cooperative
plan as offered by the company
and the competitive plan now con-
templated by the board to an en-
gineer or engineers to be appointed
by the United States Bureau Of
Reclamation, with the request that
such engineer or engineers prepare
"A report with recommendations ir

submitte1 to the people ten days

We suggest the reclamation serv-

i the fact that the report will deal
with matters concerning which the

much detailed information and that
+ such report could be prepared
in less time than one from board

/ agencies referred to in the letter
to the board accompanying our CO.
/ operative offer.
IF your board will agree to take

I NevaIa- California Electric corpora
ton will agree that it will not inter
pose any obstacles, legal or other
wise. to the holding of said election
or the payment of the proposed
grant and loan by the United
States to the irrigation district.
This proposal Of the company
will avoid any delay in the holding
Of the proposed election that will
ieopardize the payment of said
grant and loan to the district, AMI
at the same time will leave the
decision of the issue to the people
as to whether the company's offer
is to be accepted or the district is
10 proceed with its competitive
program involving the duplication
Of existing distribution facilities in
the valley.
In closing, we wish to stress the
fact that if the plan as herein
suggested is to be carried out, there
must be very prompt action on the
part of your board"

Desert Coolers Bringing
Greater Comfort to Valley

which are portable and which may
be taken from room to room. Only
100 will be sold as this firm wishes
to try out this type III Imperial
Valley, believing that if it proves
satisfactory here it will work any
where.
If it proves successful it Will
mark a great advance in home cool
ing equipment and the sale of these
coolers will become general next
year. declared a representative OF
the firm.
This great rush of business is
proof of the efficiency of these cool
ers. Last year, with the introduc-
ton of the homemade coolers, the
benefits were made obvious and this
season many Improvements are to
be found in both the factory made
and the homemade coolers, much
having been learned from last
years experience,
Interest in coolers has been such
that the University of California,
in answer to many requests, is
sending j. p. Fairbank, extension
specialist in agricultural engineer
ing to the valley next week to con-
duct group meetings on desert
coolers. Fairbank was originally
scheduled for four meetings but the
demand was so great that 1t has
been necessary to provide Tor addl-
tional demonstrations. Home de-
partments also in various parts OF
the county have been holding meet
ings on the subject to obtain in
formation as to best methods of
construction.
Kept at Home
Valley residents have found the
coolers so satisfactory that many
are planning to remain at home all
summer. except for short vacation
trips and the three months sum-
mer vacation is fast becoming a
matter of history.
New houses are including cooling
systems in their plans; many own
ers are providing better insulation
and hundreds are installing coolers.
Business firms are also installing
cooling system of one sort or an
other and merchants have reported
an increase in business during last
years summer months.
M. o. King stated that he noticed
marked increase in the summer
business in 1886 over the previous
year and he attributed this in
crease entirely to the installation
of the coolers which enabled resi-
dents to remain at home, conserve
their resources and to spend their
money in the valley, He is antici-
pating an equally good business this
summer. if not an increase since
coolers have improved, since many
more homes are equipped with them
and since many stores have install
led cooling systems making it q
pleasure for their patrons to shop
at home under such ideal condi-
tionS.
