NON-INTERVEN AGAIN
christian Science MOnitOr)

move such as Russia has Just made in the
Non Intervention sub committee meeting on
Spain may be surprising; but whether it is to
be significant depends on the use to which it
is put. Russia is now willing to grant belliger-
ent rights to the Spanish insurgent leader, Gem
eral Franco, as soon substantial withdrawal"
of foreign volunteers has taken place Thus
one more obstacle to the solution of the Spanish
problem is removed, but not without leaving
the possibility of new obstacles for the future
for Russia has reserved for herself the right
to decide at what point Withdrawals have be-
come substantial
An interesting commentary on Russia's be-
lated adoption OF more cooperative attitude
is that her decision apparently has received slight
notice by either side in the Spanish conflict
With new decisions to take to how to deal
with Japans violation of the Nine-Power Treaty
with Lord Halifax visit to Berlin posing new
questions for the directors of British foreign
policy, and with Britsh-Italian truce still
possible though postponed, Spain has become
smaller part of the kaleidoscope of Europe
Russias willingness TO aid the cause of non
intervention by compromise comes at time when
other members of the international Non-Inter-
vention Committee are finding many other ques-
tions to engage them In any case, it is read
in some quarters rather as an effort on Rus
sias part to avoid diplomatic isolation than as
a genuine effort to smooth the course of non
intervention.

4 Waste Of Effort
By Radicals

communist party members reported
en- route to Imperial Valley to attempt
organization of agricultural workers
might as we'll save their time, their
breath and their party's money. for
their efforts are fore-doomed to failure.
Imperial Valley has had two or three
unpleasant tastes of Communism in
practice, and it will not abide more.
We have no objection to legitimate or
ganizatiin of any class of workers for
any legitimate reason, but we have a
quite definite objection to organization
OF crack-pot trouble makers for no rea-
son than to make trouble, delay har-
vests and cost the community thou
sands of dollars. In the past. no other
reason has appeared in Communist at
tempts at organization.
This year is little likelihood that any
Communist attempt to stir up serious
trouble in the harvest fields will sue
ceed. County peace officers, the Asso-
ciated Farmers of Imperial County and
the American Legion are ready. They
have the entire support of the public.
Failing trouble making, the Commu-
nists want just one thing. Publicity. In
baking their attempts along this line,
perhaps, we are not so we'll prepared.
We are likely to become too angry to
think clearly-and in doing so we are
liable to give the Communists nail on
which to hang their banner of persecu-
ton Any mob violence towards them
deplorable in itself-gives them added
reason to squeal "fascism" through ev-
cry publicity channel they can find or
make. Such violence, therefore, should
be strictly avoided.
Imperial Valleys policy-and Impe-
rial Valley is unit in this-should offer
stubborn resistance to any trouble iE
the harvest fields, provide strong resis-
tance to any Communist enlistment pro-
gram, and carefully sidestep any gesture
which might win sympathy for the radi-
Gals.

A Community Effort
For Community Safety

In the Christmas Seal sales campaign
beginning this week, Imperial county
has community endeavor carried on
by comparatively small group for
the ultimate benefit of the entire COM
munity. As such, it deserves the hearty
support of every member of the COM
munity. 1t is more deserving because
that support is so easy to give.
It is hard for most of US to realize
that tuberculosis is a threat to the safe
ty of our own selves, friends and fami-
lies. Yet there is no threat more grave
The effort of Christmas Seal sponsors
to stamp out this danger is one of the
truly noble programs in our valley.
Seventy-five per cent of the money
derived from Christmas Seals in Impe-
rial Valley will be used in the valley
for prevention and cure of tuberculosis.
Remember that the white plague is
a personal threat to you and buy
Christmas Seals.

News Behind the News
= Gov. Lehman's S Surprise

Observation-Disclosures the most surpris-
ing report to reach Washington lately says that
Gov Herbert H Lehman of New York will con-
test next year for the senatorial seat now Held
by Senator Robert F. Wagner.
This story does not jibe well with memories
of the hard time Roosevelt had getting Lehman
10 run for governor in 1896 on the theory that
his presence on the ticket would greatly strength
en- Roosepelts chances in New York 1t was
generally understood the governor was fed up
with public life and yearned to get back into
business
Nevertheless the sources of the report are
such that ii is being given genuine eredence in
high places. Relations between the governor and
the President have not been warm since Roose
welt, who had been expected TO be a weaker
didate in their home state. ran ahead of Leh-
man by more than 100000 votes

Confusion and varying types and degrees of
fear TO be prevalent in the minds of
most members of Congress now that they're back
and theoretically on the job.
Into the committee rooms and onto the
floors of Congress goes the argument between
the administration, which says business policies
are responsible for the current economic slump
and business, which says administration policies
are responsible for the current economic slump.
The President has proclaimed willingness to
help small and average-sized businesses which
may be hampered by the corporation surplus
profits tax That means that big fight is
likely between the administration and big busi-
nesses which want that tax and other measures
repealed. IL also means a flght between the
administration and big spectators who want the
capital gains tax repealed
The promise to Tighten inequitable burdens"
on small business actually was the only
concession" Roosevelt made in his message to
congress, despite considerable cheering from the
conservative stands
There would have been no conservative cheer
ing II Roosevelt had said some of the things he
has said in private-as to his belief that "econo-
mic royalists' were concertedly using the recess
sion to discredit him and make him impotent
Roosevelt seems likely TO have trouble with
the Senate when some of his recent appointees
come up for confirmation. careful check has
been made on the real estate holdings, if any,

was backed by Senator Wagner, but will be op-
posed by Senator Copeland There will be at least

tor of Bonneville dam, as we'll as some of the

others.

who ran bad third behind Roosevelt and Lam
who cheered the Presidents message to Congress.
Next TO Lemke during the reading was Con-
gressman William l. Sirovich OF New York who
said to him afterward:

Bruce Cation Says:
= Maxine War Shorter = and Less Bloody

It took old Nathan Bedford For
rest, the uncouth genius Of the
Confederate cavalry, to sum up the
essence of the science of strategy
in one ungramrnatical line-"Git
thar fust with the most men,"
Acting on ms own maxim, For
rest was a terror to federal gen.
erals througout the war And ever
since then, military men have
agreed tt0t his terse slogan was
all of the law and most of the
prophets, as far as the art of max
ing war is concerned.
It is interesting. therefore, to
see that the United States army
is spending good deal of money
to make sure that in any future
war it will be able to do what Gen.
eral Forest advised.

divisions complement OF 6700

more than 1900 automobiles.
To see what it could do. this
motorized division pretended that
an invading army was established
800 miles away. near Mineral
Wells, Tex. The division hoped In
its trucks, got to the scene of the
"war" in one day, spent the next
day in out-maneuvering and de-
feating its unrnotorized opponent.
and got back to its base on the
third day-having completed
stunt utterly beyond the possibili-
ties for any pre-gasolir1e age army.
You may be sure that this de-
monstration will be prayerfully
studied by army authorities, both
here and abroad. It is broad hint
that the old attributes Of fluidity
and quick movement may be re-
stored to armies-things which
we're conspicuous by their absence
in the World War.
And this has meaning for civ1-
lians as we'll as for soldiers. For
there Is a chance that motorized
armies will make future wars
little less frightfu1 and destruc-t
tive. simply by making them short-
er and using fewer men to fight
them. N
The World War was colossaNss
and unbelieveably destructive Of
life and treasure largely because
armies moved at a snail's pace. No
general could hope to "git thar,
fust with the most men" because
it took a week to put his army IN
motion, and because numbers Of
both sides were almost unlimited.
Armies that depend on quick
movement and mechanical hitting
power rather than ON slow-moving
numbers should change that sort
of thing. The war Of attrition Is
the most costly and terrible Of all
wars, as we all have tragic reason
to know. II military science is ait
last finding a way to restore the
lost art of strategy, the dreadful
record of the World War may
never be repeated.
