IMPERIAL COUNTY
NEEDS THIS STATION

The Imperial county farm bureau. the
FL Centro chamber of commerce and
various other civic and public organiza-
tions have gone on record recently favor
ing a program wherein the county would
contribute to the upkeep of the Melo-
land experiment station.
The matter is an urgent one because
the county is in danger Of losing the
station entirely unless adequate financ-
ing is provided. Not enough state funds
are available to operate the project on
a scale sufficient TO maintain its impor-
tance
Since its founding the Meloland eX~
pertinent station has contributed impor-
family TO the agricultural knowledge of
California, and especially of Imperial
Valley. Through the efforts of the men
in charge, the station has developed
new and important methods of crop ham
ding and other phases Of agriculture.
Its worth to farmers here cannot be
measured in dollars and cents-the fig
ure would run too high.
How it is done is a matter for the
proper officials 10 work out, but the
Meloland experiment station should be
maintained adequately. 1t is not an eX-
pense it is an investment that pays
annual dividends to the county. It's loss
would be reflected in 4 loss to the entire
community
It is to be hoped the county super
visors take favorable notice of the farm
bureau recommendations. and act accord
ingly.

AMAZING AND DISHEARTENIN

(HaVerhlll (MaSS) GaZette)
The Made in America club has directed
to the attention of Secretary of Com
merce Roper serious Offense against
American industry that has been COM
mitted by his bureau Of foreign and do
mestic commerce.
This bureau, the club reports, pre-
pared for distribution among public
schools in New York City a document
to be used as part of the curricula dur
ing foreign trade week. Under the head
line of Suggestions to Teachers is this
sentence:
All of us are attracted by new and
novel things; also. we believe that
imported goods are better than our
own. This encourages trade between
nations.
Here is nothing less than plea by a
governmental bureau TO encourage among
youth an idea that is bad for their coun-
try. The too common feeling that the
grass is always greener in the other fell
lows yard is one that should be discour
aged, not encouraged. This is the feel
ing that induces people to go to the next
town for better bargains. 1t is the feel
ing that men and women with proper
pride in their own work and with regard
for the welfare of their communities
continually are trying to discourage. 1t
is the feeling that wisdom repeatedly re-
pudiates
1t is the feeling that confesses and en-
courages inferiority. A patriotic govern
ment would take the lead in resisting
and discouraging it. But our government
stimulates it. This is an amazing and
disheartening fact.

Bruce Cation Says
Let Disuedt be Given Where Disoedit is Due

And it is important to get his
identity fixed, for two reasons.
First, there is no sense in letting
our INDICATION at the bombing out
RACES set up in us an antagonism
to some specific nation. The road
to war is built on just such antag-
onisms. Once you believe that some
particular people are cruel and
constituencies, you are practically
ready to fight them.
Second, the militarist exists be-
cause we let him exist. When we
shrug our shoulders at some bit of
wartime barbarism and say,
"Well-that's war, and it can't be
helped We hold up his hand. The
only way to stop him is to de-
nounce him and his philosophy. in
season and out of seaSon-to de-
nounce him, and not the particu
lar nation he happens at the mo-
ment to be working for.
Only in that way can We stop thi,
frightful growth OF savagery.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-06-15

Probably it would be hard to
find an American who is not in
complete sympathy with the pro-
tests the government has made
recently against aerial bombing of
populous cities. No matter what
excuses may be advanced, that
kind of bombing is a crime against
humanity-and every American
knows it.
Yet it is extremely important
for us to realize just who the
enemy is, when we make these
protests.
It would be the worst kind of
folly for us to let these bombing
outrages persuade US that the ia
panese people Cfor eXample), or
the residents of rebel-controlled
Spain, or the great mass of Ital-
ianS and Germans, are bad and
vicious and cruel and inhumane.
Those are people like ourselves.
Some of them are good sorts and
some Of them are not so good.
Taken by and large they are neith-
er much better nor much worse
than we are AS individual human
beings they like the idea of bomb
ing women and children no better
than we like it.
The real enemy is the militarist
the army man who has sue
cumbed to the idea that no price
is too high to pay for victory, who
feels than any conceivable method
of beating down ones foe is legiti-
mate if it works. And that gentle
man is not the exclusive possession
Of any country. He can be found
everywhere.
If you hate these bombing raids
(as you undoubtedly do that man
ie your whether he wears
the unuiform of the japanese, the
Germans, the Spanish. or the
Americans.
He is your enemy because he has
no conception of what civilization
means. He is willing TO use. in war
fare weapons which mean that the
entire world is the loser, whoever
gains the immediate victory. He is
so ignorant about things which
make life worth living that he
turns mankind deliberately back TO
the dark ages of earliest barbarism.
He is blood brother to the old As
syrans monarchs who used TO boast
about the piles Of mutiliated
corpses they erected outside OF
conquered cities.

TEACHING YOUTH THE
FACTS OF GOVERNMENT

Once again Imperial county is prepar-
ing to send its quota Of boys to the Boys
State. a miniature state government un-
der sponsorship of the state department,
American Legion. This county has par
ticular reason to be proud of the Boys
State movement because it originated
with an American Legion member of the
Boyce Aten post in Ell Centro.
Through the Boys State, the American
Legion is recognizing the growing trend
toward instruction of youth for govern
mental responsibilities. 1t is paying
heed to the fact that government, the
biggest business of them all, should not
be placed in the hands Of incompetents
without training and with only sketchy
knowledge of the problems which will
confront them.
If every state in the country followed
California; 5 example in this Boys State
movement. the younger generation would
be far more able to cope with govern
ment problems of the future than is the
present generation, because they would
have obtained practical experience thru
a model government set up and oper-
ated by them.
The Boys State delegates of today
should be the governors and presidents
of the future. There alone is sufficient
reason for our pride.

WASHINGTON nice, elght-
point program for the Republican
party appears to be one of the cur
rent needs in politics. The COP.
has been going in for numerology
in a big way, but no one has yet
considered the possible magic in the
number eight. Here's what has
been presented to the country thus
far:
Five point program of principles
to guide the nation, offered by Her
bert Hoover last December.
Six-point program to restore con-
fidence and prosperity, offered by
Congressman Hamilton Fish OF New
York.
Seven deadly sores" of the pres
ent economic situation. offered by
New York's Congressman Bruce
Barton as subjects for congressional
investigation.
Nine-point party program offered
by Governor Aiken of Vermont as
basis for attack on the New Deal.
Nine basic headaches spots
in the New Deal which the Repub-
lican Committee on Program prom
ises to explore and analyze.
Ten-point Republican program,
suggested by Senator Arthur Van
denberg of Michigan in a maga-
zine interview.
Eleven point program for saving
the country. proposed by Herbert
Hoover on his return last month
from Europe.
Twelve point rescue plan," de-
vised by COP. National Commit
tee and congressman in minority

Most popular points have includ-
ed: no more pump printing; revision
of taxes and the Wagner act; lower
relief costs and investigation OF
elimination of WPA, eliminate gov
eminent competition with and at
tacks on business.
Diligent digging by correspon-
dents has failed to produce proof
that the administration is actively
intervening in the Minnesota guber-
material primaries June 20, although
its interest in the results are con-
siderable.
Farmer-Labor Gov. Elmer Benson
seeks denomination by his party and
is opposed by former Lieut.. Gov.
Hjalmer Petersen. who has conser-
vative support. Benson has con-
sistently supported Roosevelt and
the President is supposed to favor
his reelection.
Harry Hopkins recently removed
State WPA Administrator Victor
Christgau on the ground that he
couldn't get along with others
notably farmer-labor officials-al-
though WPA officials in Washing
ton also had complained of Christ
gua's handling of WPA labor trou-
bleS.
Previously Jim Farley had told
United States District Attorney
Victor Anderson to file in the Dem
Ocratic primary. Anderson has pub
licly protested removal of Christgau.
whose friends insist he was efficient
and non partisan and that he was
ousted-after being offered a Wash
ington job-as a political move to
help Benson. Tom Gallagher, young
lawyer is reported likely to beat
Anderson and four other candidates
for the Democatic nomination.
Roosevelt, asked point-blank at
a press conference whether he want
