(By The Associated PreSs)

LONDON, Sept. 6 - Worried political and financial leaders discussed the economic conse- quence of the Sino-Japanese war and arrived at the conclusion that Japan would not be able to sus- tain a prolonged conflict. These leaders professed that Japan must gamble in a swift smashing campaign to crush the Chinese, pointing out that in view of Jap ans shaky budgetary situation, huge war expenditures might re- suit in bankruptcy.

ROOSEVELT BELIEVES
IN COOPERATION FOR
POOLING FACILITIES

President Roosevelt favors cooperation between
power agencies rather than unnecessary duplication of
facilities.
President Roosevelt recently said:
1.-The public interest demands that the power that
Is being will be generated by the Tennessee Val
ley Authority and at the Bonneville Dam and other pub
lie works projects should be to serve the greatest
number of people at the lowest cost and far as
possible without injury to existing actual investment
To this end, have for seperal months been confer
ring informally with representatives of Federal Power
Commission, the National Resources Committee the
Tennessee Valley Authority and the Rural Electrified
ton Administration, we'll with utility executives,
engineers and economists
"These discussions indicate agreement to remark
able degree that this objective best be attained by
cooperative pooling of power facilities within each
gion, including those of the Federal projects the pri-
vatey owned utilities and the municipal plants through
the of existing transmission line networks under
the control of the members of the pool.
"Such pool, it appears will smooth out the peaks
and valleys of the separate system operations reduce
the amount of necessary capacity and postpone
the need for investment in generating facilities"

SINCERE OFFER MADE

The federal governent expects TO
pay for Boulder Dam by selling
power for fraction of the price
the District can sell to the Nev-Cal
for. There can be no question of
the sincerity of the Nev-Cal offer.
The company is now heavy pur-
chaser of power and needs the sur
plus power of the canal. It's propoS-
al has been approved formally by
the corporations board of direc-
tors and reaffirmed by President
A. B. West. Able attorneys. includ-
ing some in Imperial Valley, state
that if the terms of the offer,
namely the defeat of the unneces-
Sary revenue bond measure on
Wednesday and the acceptance of
the terms of the proposal by the
people, themselves, are accepted, it
will become binding. Sufficient
funds will be advanced, including
a matching of government funds,
by this financially sound organiza-
ton, to put the cooperative power
plan into effect and restore part,
at least, of the Valleys financial
credit.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-15

starting with two so-called small
issues to be followed by others, un-
til the power business of the 1rri-
CATION District, capable of selling
but fraction of the possible out
put of the canal, competiting with a
successful. financially sound rival,
might readily find itself in worse
predicament than it is in its water
business and one in which the pow
er consumers would be struggling
to meet the principal and interest
charges on the revenue bonds,
which glib politicians say cannot
become a lein on the land.
These electrical charges would,
of course, fall heaviest on the cit
les. where is the denSeSt population
and the greatest power consumption.
They arc already bearing their
share of the Districts water debts
and would be hurt the most by any
unsuccessful power business.

Only five business men allowed
their names to be used in an ap-
peal for the bond debts and they
have probably done the same on all
of the fatal bond issues of the past
The average business man is
against the boycott method of po-
liticians and in the privacy of the
ballot booth will swat that kind
of thing.
The smaller business man is not
SO much afraid of the politician.
He is more independent. He knows
that he has to run his own busi-
ness in his own way to make both
ends meet and he hasn't much
faith in political business methods.
When he goes to the polls, he will
be nobodys fool.

JOHNSON FOR
COOPERATIVE
POWER PLAN
Attorney Tells
People Offer
Is Good

One of the most effective speak
ers in behalf Of the legality of the
Nev-Cal offer for a cooperative
power program IN the Imperial Val
ley Is RAY JOHNSON, prominent
Imperial attorney who has spoken
at the public meetings III the Valley
during the past few days.
Mr. johnson first made himself
heard at so-called mass meeting
in Heber when Mark Rose attacked
the Nev Cal employees in the I'm
petial Valley and stated that if the
District Boards power scheme
should 60 over, these people would
find themselves out of Jobs and
classified ads in the Los Angeles
papers would get all of the people
the District would need.
Mr.. Johnson's sense of fair play
was outraged by this suggestion and
he defended the local employees,
many of whom own their homes
and have been prominent in civic,
church. lodge and other activities,
Mr.. Johnson has spoken as an
independent and says he believes
the District Board is lacking in
experience and at the most will
not secure more than so per cent of
competitive business. He says Dis
rict power operation will be more
costly if the District does not
secure sufficient income, more
bonds will be necessary and higher
taxes will follow. He believes the
people cannot carry higher load
Of debt and states that the District
should have submitted proposals
of the Company to board of in
dependent engineers for study and
the people given an opportunity to
pass upon their report. He ex-
presses the opinion that the Com
any'S offer is sound.
In closing one of his appeals, he
said:
Both the District and the Com
pany cannot long engage in COM
petitive business at a profit to
both. One must eventually acquire
the other. The Company will not
now sell to the District, because
the District has nothing with which
to pay"
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-15
How Engineers
Feel About New
Power Program

Engineers report that if the Dis
trict should secure 90G5 of all the
power business in the Valley, under
its program, it would not be as
well off as under the Cooperative
Plan. OF course it cannot secure
that much for the reason that a
very large percentage of the power
business is signed with the Com
pany on contracts, in addition to
the business of the large ice COM
panieS.
If the District goes into the pow
er business to make money with
which to pay off it's debts, it can
make several times as much in the
wholesale business and cooperation
with the Company than by the
competitive method. If it is in bus.
mess for political reasons that is
something else.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-15
SHOULD VOTE NO BONDS-

In order that there may be no
doubt as to what I believe. let me
say that I know of no student Of
taxation, independent of Valley in
fluence, who would advocate the
voting of additional bonds here at
this time for Irrigation District
purposes, fact that should be ap-
parent from the recent report Of
the California Taxpayers Associa-
ton In debt study of the District,
showing an accumulated debt far
beyond the point of safety for any
political subdivision. 1t shows, in
fact, that the total District debt is
229 per cent of the county's asses
sed valuation of its land, while IS
per cent is considered the limit of
fair burden, and that refinancing
of the first $16,000,000 in Irrigation
District bonds has finally resulted
in the building up of that obliga-
tion until the total principal and
interest will be more than $54,000,-
600, if ever paid in full.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS BEST

This is an instance in which the
wholesale business of selling large
amount of power to single, good
paying customer, who will in turn,
sell it, retail, to its many thousands
of customers, permanently elimi-
mating the old power fight. will be
far preferable to the borrowing of
additional millions of dollars with
which to go into a comparatively
small competitive power business,
smaller. in fact, as to possible gross
sales, than those of some of the

Large Profit
In Wholesale
Canal Power.

N u Il l. THlBODEAUA, JOSE-
PHINE THIBODEAUX, ROSARIS
G. MOORE, MABEL BENNIT, F.
TEMPLE and EUGENE MOORE,
all of Ell Centro, prepared the fol-
lowing statement on the power con-
troversy too late to appear yester-
day but want their friends to know
how they stand:
I'VE believe that the small home
owner will be greatly benefited II
the power company is allowed TO
finance the All American Canal
power plants, and the District sells
all of its power to them wholesale,
so that we will not have two dis
tribution systems in the Valley, but
will give the District the advantage
of selling all Of It's power over a
large district and distributed by
the power company.
THE District could certainly
make lot more money this way
and, maybe would get out of poll
tics.
This should also end the power
fight which has been going on for
so many years and would improve
the Valleys credit"
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-15
Never Have Told
People the Reasons

One of the most puzzling ques-
tions to voters throughout the I'm
perial Valley is why the District
Board did not allow an independ-
ent study to be made Of the power
company's offer to finance the
building of the canal power plants
and purchase all the power at a
price sufficient to pay for the canal.
The only way this can be secured
now is to vote the bonds down on
Wednesday and accept the COM
pany proposal. If this is not done
authorities agree that the District
Board will be in a position to start
the construction of disastrous du-
plicating power distribution system
at the expense of the people, a pro-
gram that is entirely unnecessary.

opinion was expressed in yester-
days paper by the Brawley woman
who said the politicians refused to
give electric service in her COM
munity although they spent thou
sands of dollars to run a line out
to some ranch friends, miles in the
country.
There will be no control over the
political board that goes into a
small retail power business in the
Valley, excepting to make enough
out of power revenues alone to pay
off its tremendous debts. Favorit-
ism and strongarm methods are
typical of many politicians.

GREATEST HOPE IN WOMEN

In the present situation, the
greatest hope lies in the women
voters. They are the ones who fear
the influence of the politician on

careless handling of the gambling,
crime or liquor problems. Quite re-
Gently, however, they have been

The average tarm and ranch

the political power it carries.
One renter was asked by the

was the answer. "You know I am

COMPETITION DESTRUCTIVE

President Roosevelt is OH record

they should work together as the
Reclamation Service and the local
power company are doing at the
Syphon Drop plant, the govern
ment owned concern, which sells
wholesale to the power company
This the District could do, on
bigger scale, with its canal plants
and make more money, than COM
peting for a much smaller retail
business
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-15
HERE LIES SECRET

In the above statement lies the
secret of the superiority of a pro-
posed cooperative power plan to
that of the Irrigation District. The
cooperative plan, as outlined, calls
for the early construction of four
plants on the canal, without issu-
ance of any bonds, instead of a
part of a plant, as proposed by the
District. 1t calls for the sale, at
an exceptionally favorable price, of
all the power that the running wa
ter in the canal may produce. Not
a kilowatt hour would go to waste,
although it would be many times as
much as could be consumed in the
Imperial Valley.

ALL-AMERICAN CANAL ASSET

long time The only thing to de-
termine, then, Is how the best to

es of the canal the most efficiently

cation District and the sale of that
power on basis of its greatest

may be involved.

POWER MORE IMPORTANT

Electric power will be more i'm
