WE SHOULD REMEMBER
THERE AREN'T MANY POLICEMEN

BurglarleS IN FL Centro MONIES ana
business houses have shown slight in
crease in the last two weeks. If such
crimes are to be stopped, citizens of the
community must remember that police
officer cannot be everywhere at once,
and that only with the help of the citi-
zenry can he do his job completely and
we'll
A burglar is the most difficult of all
criminals to catch. He strikes at night,
he is not seen, and most of the time he
leaves no clues. Only by accident, or be-
cause they are known police characters
are many burglars caught. Since punish
ment is so difficult prevention is the
only logical solution.
When a resident sees suspicious
character in his neighborhood. he should
report the matter to police. If every citi-
zen of Ell Centre followed this rule, there
would be less of burglary.
Remember, the police need help.

Price Initiation Trouble IT'S All
off The Record l.. White House
Advisers Want Action

WASHINGTON-The influential administra-
tion group which has Waged a preventive war
against price initiation continues, off the record
to propheSy trouole.
These viewerS-with- alarm are encouraged by
healthy effect of several presidential gestures
and measures to discourage price increases They
believe that these and other factors have check
ed speculative buying and kept down or lowered
commodity prices. The price of copper, for in
stance has declined and it is widely believed here
that what was to have been another steel price
increase has been headed off
Various White House advisers, however, will
continue to urge further action. 1t is likely that
Roosevelt before long will move toward a
duction of certain tariff outies which would
affect prices of protected products considered
by economists here to be "out OF line" In this
connection, watch for news of the future of
the copper import tax which will lapse in June
unless something is done about it.
An easing of European war tension, liquida-
ton of foreign-owned securities here and talk
of gold price reduction are believed to have had
an effect on the commodity markets, well
administration efforts.
But there is alarm over big increase in
instalment selling, which reached S9,000,000000
in 1886 as compared with only Sc 000, 100000 in
1929. This is a huge pledge of future wages.
Higher retail prices anticipated by fall
and the viewers-with- alarm assert that the coun-
try is getting to the point where there will be
a deficit in purchasing power. Then, they say,
there Will be more unemplOyment plleQ on Top
of the present large unemp mployment-in the face
of a S35 O00 900 900 national debt.
The only answer is to get prices down and
wages up" says this group Now Is the time to
tax and balance the budget at a high level of
spending"
This advice may be Dad. 1t comes, however
from persons from whom FDR. has been
cepting advice for several months.
Distation of recent confidential adviceS re
Spain, as received and interpreted by the War
and State departments:
MuSsolini and Hitler have agreed that they
shouldn't let General Franco lose and eventu-
ally they will see to it that he doesn't. Mean
while preferring not to repudiate the non-inter-
vention agreement openly, they have urged Fran
co to get together all the troops he can now
round UP in Spain and try TO take Madrid with
out heavy foreign reinforcements.
A Stiffening of the British and French atti-
tudeS toward the rebels has been noted. But
our diplomats have been given to understand
that England plans to wait and if she feels ade
quately prepared, TO take up the Mediterranean
situation all at once"
Almost anything may happen in Spain. a"'
not all the officials who have read regularly
the confidential adviceS of our diplomatic and
military agents in Europe are impressed by their
profundity.
Bowlers are about the only persons
who studied their A. B. C.'S while hang

GOING JUST
A LITTLE TOO FAR

We in southern California believe
more than anyone else in the prosperity,
present and future, of this area, but we
cannot accept without complaint the
rosy picture painted by an eastern con-
fidential news service, which says of
California:
Trains are crowded. So are theaters.
Contractors, architects and building
mechanics have more work than they
can handle There's scarcely cloud in
the economic sky in California and peo-
pie refuse to worry about the date of
the next depression.
1t is to be hoped that the report did
not fall into the hands of too many peo-
pie. If it did, the state can expect an
other increase in the flock of penniless
transients who come here, only to be
bitterly disappointed when they dis
cover that there is saturation point
even in California.

If anything ought to be obvious
in Washington these Gays, 1t IS the
fact that we have got far beyond
the point where we can safely let
party politics have hand IN the
naming of government servants.
That worked fairly we'll during
our early history, when the led

lively small and affected only a
few people. But to go on with 1t IN
an era when the government Is do
ing things which affect every in

madness.
An Illuminating case in point is
the trouble which is now besetting
the Social Security Board.
