DRAFTING THE CHILDREN
bakersfield Californian

Russia is following the example of Italy in
training it's children for war. Dispatches from
Moscow tell us the program for 1887 is designed
to qualify 100000 marksmen, 100000 as anti
aircraft defense experts and 10000 experts
in aviation construction. This goes further than
the Italian ballista ad giovarnista. 1t means
more than formal regimental drill with the
of arms.
To read of such peryersion of the impulses
of youth brings regret to the minds and hearts
of freeborn peoples. 1t is the introduction of
the spirit of hatred instead Of the desire to live
at peace. II is the deliberate breeding of rivalry
that means future disturbance in international
affairs even if the present difficulties are over
come.
What Russia is doing is TO make itself
other of the countries whose military activities
cancel those of others and 50 form a vicious
circle of waste in human energy race such
as this is destruction OF everything that makes
for a progressive and happy world. Americans
may well look in wonder at the madness
that inspires such preparations, and at the seme
time congratulate themselyes they are rot in
yoved in them. They are foreign TO the ideals
which this nation has developed.
While the United States is concerning itself
over child labor amendment European nations
are busy training their children not to work but
To be experts in destruction. The contrast be-
trays the widely. different conceptions aof human
purpose.

have new war one of these days.
If and when it comes, We want to
stay out of it.
But suppose it does come, and
finds us with this emotional an
tagonism to Nazism stored up in
our minds. 1t is hard to imagine
how cunning propagandists from
aboard would play on that antago-
nism to the things the Kaiser Will
helm and his clique stood for? Is
it hard to see how we could. in
that way, be made emotionally
ready for war, neutrality law or
no neutrality law?
We have troubles enough of our
own these days, without looking
for new ones beyond our borders.
The next few years are going to be
excellent ones in which to mind OF
own business. And we can do than
much more easily if we refuse to
let ourselves get emotional about
Hitler, Mussolini, Stain or any
other ruler who has ways We hap
pen to dislike.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-04-05

Now that an unofficial armistlce
seems to prevail in the war be-
tween Mayor LaGuardia and Alolf
Hitler, it might be instructive to
study the effect which that sort
of thing is apt to have on our high
ly-prized neutrality.
We are taking great pains to
make our neutrality fool-proot IN
the event of another war in Europe
All that laws can do to keep us
out of war, We seem determined 10
have done. But it wouldn't hurl
us to remember that the real es-
sence of neutrality is something
that no law can reach and no gov
ernment can safeguard.
For while there may be all kinds
of economic and political forces
that lead to war, it is still true
that people ride into war on a wave
of emotion. Build up that emotion
al background for war and you run
the risk of getting into it, no mat
ter what you do with embargoes
neutrality laws, and SO on.
And the trougle with donny-
brook such as the one Mayor La
Guarida recently had with Hitler
is that, while amusing, it does give
us one more nudge in the direc-
ton of emotional preparedness for
war
Now the Nazi experiment in gov
ernment has gone on long enough
for Americans to be perfectly GER
tain that they want none OF it over
here. The Nazi mentality, as re-
vealed in concentration camps, pog-
roms, sWord-rattlings, and the con-
trolled obscenities of the German
press, is as completely alien to our
ideals as anything could be.
But that's a good place to stop
Once We go on record as being
opposed to NaZism in this country
we have done our duty. If we keep
going, and indulge in an emotional
blowout about the tyranny of Herr
Hitler, and the general ridiculous
ness of some OF his Strutting aides,
We are simply greasing the skids
for slide into war at some future
date.

ALIENS AT THE PUBLIC
DINNER TABLE

There are pending in congress several
bills which may not become laws; but
only because humanitarian theories have
replaced common sense IN the brain
pans of some individuals chosen to rep
resent the American public. The bills in
question deal with aliens convicted OF
crime aliens on relief rolls and aliens
in employment They would go far to
relieve the United States of a consider
able portion of its relief expense.
Before the committee on immigration
and naturalization of the house of repre-
sentatives is Bill 1855, providing that
the secretary of labor shall take into
custody all aliens who have subsisted
upon public or private relief for pc
riod of six months after enactment Of
the bill. and deport them forthwith to
the country of their origin.
H. r. 3423 provides that no existing
or future appropriation shall be avail
able to pay the compensation OF any
alien who is compensated out OF appro-
prations made by congress unless the
appointing officer certifies under oath
that no American citizen can be found
who is available for the office or en-
ployment 1t provides also that no exist
ing or future appropriation shall be
available to pay the compensation OF
anv alien who is illegally in the United
States or its possessions.
H. r. 4353 provides that any alien
shall be promptly deported if at any
time after entry he has been convicted OF
an offense punishable by imprisonment
for term of one year or more, or if
he has been convicted of any one Of vari-
Gus offenses listed in the bill.
The United States has played big
brother and protector too long to aliens
who. in anv other nation, would be sum-
marilv deported We are no longer an
empire ON a frontier, needing every man
ner of immigrant. 1t is high time we
should pick and choose those who come
from other countries to live among Us
land it is even more urgent that we
take steps To weed out those undeslrables
who are even now living at public ex-
pense. either through crime or on relief.
These bills would help considerably.

A DOUBLE-BARRELED SOLUTION
RESOLUTION TO
TO RE.SETTLENENT PRORLEMS

y hEoEf LEMENI PROBLEMS
What seems after considerable study
to be an eminently sound solution to one
OF the most veXing problems of present
day government was advanced last week
by j. Rupert Mason, reclamation expert
who paid flying visit to Imperial Val
ley Dealing with a federally proposed
retirement of marginal land from farm
ing operations, Mr.. Mason's proposal
would accomplish two objectives.
1t would, first, furnish agricultural
lands already developed to the persons
qualified to farm them but forced by
drought, land deterioration and other
natural calamities to abandon the prop
erty on which they are at present at
tempting to earn their livings.
Secondly, it would replace on the tax
rolls good farming lands which are not
paying their way on the assessment rolls
of the municipalities in which they are
situated. Such an achievement, alone.
recommends the plan to hearty consider
alton.
The plan, in a nutshell, is this:
Through cooperation of taxing agencies,
such as the state, the county or the
Imperial Irrigation district, taX-default-
ed lands would be acquired by some such
agency as the Federal Resettlement Ad-
ministration through payment of back
taxes, then turned over to farm families
now existing on marginal land. The
marginal land would be retired from
cultivation.
1t is not Townsend plan, nor a
Wagner Labor Act, nor anything as in
volved or questionable as that 1t is as
simple as a school childs ABC's. 1t re-
quires only a slashing through of govern
ment red tape and political wire pull
ing.
The Federal Resettlement Administra-
tion at the present time is spending hum
dreds of thousands of dollars, seeking
way to achieve its ends by retiring mar
ginal land Thus far, nothing worthy Of
note has been accomplished, unless it is
camps which are a sedative rather than
the erection of migratory workers
curing potion.
If, instead of pouring dollar after
dollar into the political feed-bag, the
federal government were to take over
for the purpose of resettlement the tax
defaulted lands in a community such
as Imperial Valley, there would be
something to show for the federal ex-
penditure More than that, there would
be a possibility of permanent resettle-
ment on land of known value already
equipped in many instances with homes,
and available to good roads, schools,
water and settled communities.
More potent still would be the effect
on the community Its taX-defaulted
lands would be returned to the tax rolls,
with back taXes-or, in some instances,
portion of delinquent taXes-paid up.
The result would be better community
credit with lesser burden on the indivi-
dual taxpayer, b C a u e assessments
would be spread out over broader base.
If the resettlement administration is,
in fact. seeking a solution to its dilemma,
rather than hunting for a political by
way, it could do much worse than to
study and act upon the proposal for
use of tax-defaulted lands.
