Not Neutral at All

It was about time some strong advocate of neutrality legislation" publicly admitted there was noth- ing neutral about it and credit for this frankness now goes to Fred erick J. Libby, executive secretary of the National Council for Proven tion of War and one of the na- tion's leading pacifists.
 Libby says the new law should be called "non-participation legisla- tion." The idea, he explains, is really to limit future wars, as one would limit fire, to the smallest possible area. Obviously, the leash and carry principle" fayors the big nations which have cash, ships and control of the seas. No policy we adopt, Libby admits would bear equally on all belligerents.
 Japan and Italy have success fully punctured the theory that the mere threat of combined action will overawe potential aggressor," he continues. ''The charge that such reasoning ignores the moral distinction between an 'aggressor' and a victim is an over-simplifi- cation of the facts in every con- fiict."
 Omit Civil Service
 While debate rages over the Roosevelt Supreme Court plan, civil service is taking a licking. The Presidents proposal to extend the merit system upward, outward and downward" is being made pawn in the game.
 Because the President isn't talk
 ing on any new fights, the crop
 insurance bill. passed by the Sem ate with a provision eXempting from civil service all officials and employees hired under the act, is likely to stand that way in the House.
 The new Guffey coal bill passed by the House exempts large number of clerks, attorneys, spe- cial agents, technical experts and examiners. It's an ironic fact that Roosevelt, now being bitterly attacked for an attempt to grab power through his court proposal, offered in the civil

Two Seek
Council Places
In Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Oct. Is
(ANP) Two former Negro council
men will wage vigorous fight in
their respective wards before the
coming election. w. S. Vaughn,
fifth ward, and Wesley Dodson,
second ward, are the men in ques-
ton.
Waugh has represented that
ward for two previous terms, but
met defeat in the last elections by
white candidates. Dodson, an
ex-councilman of one terms ex-
perience, appeared in the same
council as Vaughn and between
the two, much power was welded.
Both have strong support from
race members who live in the
highly populated Negro districts.
Early reports point to close and
interesting race, the opposition be-
ing given by white politicians.

New Lottery Bill Up In
Next Session Of Congress

Democrat of Cliffside Park, N. ].
Although suggested periodical
ly in the past, a national lottery
has never been debated in the
House. It's advocates contend it
will increase Government revenue
reduce taxes, relieve unemploy-
ment, and keep in America the
millions now annually sent abroad.
Opponents of the lottery say it
would constitute a game of chance
in which the Government should
have no part.

provides for creation of a lottery
commission of three, to be paid
$4,000 annually and to be named
by the President. Their duty
would be to conduct a lottery to
raise funds mot exceeding one

TAKE OFF THE GLOVES
AND GO TO WORK

Potentially the greatest factor in In
perial county against automobile acci-
dent tragedies is the Safety Council. 1t
can accomplish things that no other
agency has been able to put over; it can
do much to cut down the appalling list
of traffic deaths.
II is a good thing for the community
that the Safety Council is getting under
way with its fact finding organization,
its expression of public opinion to courts
and officers, its recommendations for
safety regulations and its potent cam
paign against death on the highways.
The Safety Council is and should be
more than an individual agency; it is
the vocalization of a growing public
protest against the things which have
made automobiles the most deadly wea-
pons of all.
Now, if the prestige of the Safety
Council is to continue mounting, one
thing remains. 1t must take off the
gloves and go to work
Let the blame fall where it will. If
the courts condone recklessness on the
highways, they should not be spared.
If the traffic officers are too lenient,
the public should know. If the prosecu-
tors are lax in their duty-that is their
fault, not the Safety Councils, nor yet
the public's If the average motorist is
too ignorant or too careless, then let's
have tighter reins on him.
The Safety Council will have the full
support of this newspaper in any steps
it takes, so long as those steps point
towards solution of the accident prob
lem.
Death is no joke. 1t is grim, horrid
reality. soaring an unforgettable image
on the brain of him who sees it. When
automobiles take as many lives as they
have in Imperial county this year, the
tragedy of it becomes something of vita!
public import. 1t Is something that
MUST be stopped.
If every driver involved in an accident
has to be put through an alcohol test,
if autopsy must be performed on the
body of every person killed in an accl-
dent. if justices of the peace must be
subjected to storm of criticism every
time they turn drunken driving sus-
pect loose, one thing will repay it all.
If one life is saved. who can say that
no good has been accomplished?

whole, no good whatever.

The change that has come over

breath taking; but We would mis-

Mr.. Lewis, for some specific labor
organization. or even for the gen.

It may be any or all of those,

all it is a victory for plain, ordr
nary common sense-a victory in
which both sides and the general
public share equally.
That is to say that this great
industry and the men who work in
it are not, this time, going to re-
pair to the nearest vacant lot and
club heads until one side or the
other has had enough. Instead,
they are going to try getting along
in harmony; and, as a direct re-
suit, steel and its people face the
most prosperous era in their long
and troublous history.
1t is a change as welcome as it

Imperial Valley press., 1937-03-12

It is not for nothing that the
production of steel is considered the
most typical part of the whole
American industrial structure.
Steel is hard stuff, and Ameri-
cans occasionally are hard people
especially those who have to do
with the making of steel. And
steel now and then has been fab
ricated in the way the country as a
whole was fabricated-with a tough
and sinewy drive that cares moth
ing for obstacles, rides right over
criticism. and lets those whose
heads have been cracked in the
process bind their own wounds.
So this nation. which killed off
its Indians with unrelenting fero-
city, took what it wanted from
Mexico without bothering to think
up an excuse, and blew itself to a
terrible. four-year civil war because
it couldn't agree on a presidential
election-this nation, with hard
boiled record of that kind, has
brought up a steel industry with a
record equally hard-boiled.

The open warfare of the 1919
strike is still a matter of living
memory. The Homestead war of
the COS is not SO far away but that
it can be recalled without difficulty.
And both of those memories con-
firmed practically all of us in the
idea that steel was the one spot in
our industry where the law of the
jungle was immutable.

A SITUATION THAT
iTHOULD NOT EXIST

The danger to dogs and discomfort
to dog owners that exists in Ell Centre
today because of the current campaign
against rabies and the increasing num-
Der of rabid dogs is a situation that
should not have been allowed to exist.
Ell Centro city ordinances provide for
the inoculation of dogs against rabies.
The fact was pointed out by this paper
more than two months ago.
If the ordinance had been rigldly en-
forced, if all non-inoculated dogs had
been impounded, if all owners had been
forced to have their dogs treated, then
we would not be in the midst of rabies
scare today.
Whose the fault is cannot be deter
mined by this column. Perhaps the ordl-
nance does not fix responsibility, IN
which case the ordinance should be
amended. Perhaps funds were not pro-
vided to carry out the work set down in
the ordinance; if not, they should have
been provided.
There is no use blaming anyone for
the existing situation-it exists. 1t should
be made certain, however, that the same
thing will not happen again.
