CONCRETE THANKS
(Ontario Report)

Monday of this week saw the final oc-
cupation of Sudetenland by the nazi-Ger-
mans. 1t was relatively peaceful TAX
ing-over, as Hitler knew he was being
watched by the other parties to the Mu-
Mich agreement. but the inevitable misery
and heartbreak accompanied It. The
ones who pay the highest price for this
new peace are the refugees from Sudeten
land, who will follow the retiring Czech
army A fair estimate of the number
affected by this occupation is about
100000.
The greatest part Of these refugees
are German democrats and anti-fascists
and the leaders of the German Social
Democratic party. All these will be
flocking into what is left of Czechoslo-
vakia, country already full of German
and Austrian refugees.
For the country, just stripped OF its
richest natural resources and industries,
it will be a desperate struggle to survive
and to build up something like a new
economic system. Add to the burden Of
their new economic problems the refugee
question and one has an idea Of what is
facing this brave little republic
To help solve this refugee problem
should be the duty of the British and
French who helped bring it about, first
twenty years ago by the treaty of Yer
sailles, and more recently by the treaty
of Munich. They are the main benefi-
Charles of this maintenance of European
peace, even if it proves only temporary

ARE THERE TWO COMMUNIST
PARTIES. OR JUST ONE?

Now that the United States Supreme
Court has agreed to review circuit court
decision that this country cannot deport
an alien merely because he is member
of the Communist party, it seems time
to bring up a highly pertinent question;
Are there two Communist parties, or
just one?
If there are two. then membership in
one of them might not be cause for de-
portation. If there is only one, and if
that one is the Communist party Impe-
rial Valley knows to its sorrow, then
membership certainly should be de-
portable offense.
Leaders Of the Communist party on
trial in superior court here not many
years ago swore from the witness stand
that it is the aim of their party to over
throw the American form Of government
by force and violence.
Therefore il seems applicable TO ask:
are there two Communist parties?

THE EAST MESA LANDS
FIVE YEARS FROM NOW

United States Reclamation Commits
soner John {. Paige, accompanying Sec
retary of Interior Harold L. Ickes TO
Imperial Valley for dedication of muni-
cipal power and the All American canal,
added new Joy to the occasion with the
remark that the valleys East Mesa lands
should be opened 10 homestead within
five years.
What the opening Of those lands will
mean TO Imperial Valley can scarcely
be calculated
With their inclusion in the irrigation
district, this area will hold undisputed
possession of the title largest irrigated
area in the world. It will cinch its claim
to being the most wealthy irrigated area.
From the Arizona state line to the
western boundary of the district Impe-
rial Valley will be one mass of greenery.
Eventually even those now arid lands
on the west will be irrigated, and the
valley will stretch in unbroken farm
lands from the state line To the noun
tains.
Visionary? Perhaps = but so were
those men visionary who first looked
upon the sparse mesquite and brittle
desert shrubbery of the valley and be-
lieved that one day Il would be worth
farming Their vision has come true
and il was more far-fetched than any
present-day idea Of East and West mesa
development
Even today there are those who believe
there is no room in the economic world
for development Of the East Mesa.
To them the only answer necessary
is found in the plight of dustbowl farm
ers from the middle-West-good farm
ers-who are even now looking for good
soil where they can resume their inter
rupted lives. Quietly the government is
helping them move from their sub-margi-
nal farms to other, better farms,
Lands of the East Mesa would be
God-given TO these men.
To Imperial Valley itself, and to its
cities, development Of these new lands
will bring greater Importance, greater
wealth and greater population. Even
now growing by leaps and bounds, the
valleys growth would be phenomenal
if the East Mesa We're opened up.
That the federal government is even
now thinking in terms of new farms ON
the East Mesa is encouraging news to
Imperial Valley.

Southern conservatives are re-

dent Garner for leadership in the
legislative skirmishes which will
preeede the battle over a presiden-

of some Roosevelt policies. He OBJ
iected, especially. to the uninter-

gets which may be climaXed at the
end OF this fiscal year by the larg-

Garner was represented last spring
as protesting sharply against the

recognized the seriousness of the

But the gains that were Won

ures which would seriously limit
labors activities. If the reaction
continues, these measures will pass
and will be followed by even more

And the point TO bear in mind is
that such measures have been pref

internal quarrel That quarrel has
tried the public's patience; all too
often il has Cancelled out the hon

themselves TO the new era in labor

But in this case, peace at the price
