(ANP) Clyde E. Wright, 81,
bootblack, killed himself last week
when police picked him up for
questioning regarding a white girl

then asked to 60 to his boss that he
would be gone for awhile. Wright

TWO HOURS TO |. a.
AFTER MONDAY

transportation service between Impe-
RAJ Valley and Los Angeles has needed
shot in the arm" for several years.
AS far as it goes, the present service
Is good. But it does not 90 far enough
nor fast enough BY the yardstick of
business transacted, Imperial Valley is
Is big community. BY the standard of
transportation service, it is distinctly a
rural step-child
After Monday this will no longer be
true
A business man will be able to step
into an airplane at the Imperial or
Brawley airport early in the morning.
arrive IN Los Angeles in a little over
two hours spend a day there on business
matters, and return to the valley for
dinner. Or the same business man, need
ing a rush order of goods or materials,
can telegraph his representative in Los
Angeles and obtain the shipment that
night.
This is a service the valley has needed
for a long time.
Two more steps remain One is air
mail service, and the other is airplane
service to San Diego. There is only one
way to obtain both. 1t is by generous
support of the new airline which will
establish service between Los Angeles
and Imperial Valley beginning Monday.
Patronage of the line between here and
Los Angeles will mean its unqualified
success, and upon the success of this
one line depends extension of services
to other fields.
The airline service brings a new ad-
vantage to Imperial Valley business men
and residents doing business in Los An
geles or going there for pleasure. 1t is
up TO them now to maintain that advan-
tage.

THE BEST ARGUMENT
AGAINST MOB RULE

Imperial Valley this week saw enacted
the most convincing argument against
the sort of mob rule that results in
lynchings.
In the Bard district in eastern Impe-
rial county a little 7-year-old girl told
her parents and peace officers that she
had been criminally assaulted by man.
She identified the man she said was
responsible. Officers arrested him.
The prisoner was bundled into an
automobile post haste and taken to Ell
Centre to avoid the threat that he would
be lynched if an attempt were made to
hold him in the comparatively weak
Jail at Winterhaven Muttered sugges-
tions were heard that the mob should
pursue the man to Ell Centre, and there
exact vengeance.
Then the girl admitted that it was all
made-up story to explain why she was
late getting home from school. Fearing
her parents wrath, she evolved the
story of an attack. Having told it, she
tried to strengthen the story by pointing
out her asserted attacker.
An innocent man might have been
lynched because a little girl feared pun
ishment for lettering on the way home
from school.
That would have been mob rule.

GOLF BALL RELIEF
IS GRIM BUSINESS
Riverside Press

Trust-busting activities seem to have been
"shushed" lately. by a sort of tacit agreement
that it is a poor time to start anything tending
further to alarm business But there seems to
be one notable exception. The Federal Trade
commission has moved to free golf balls from
an alleged octopus
The commission, charging that a price fixing
combination exists in the sale of golf balls
orders leading manufacturers and their trade
association, together with the Professional Golf
ers' Association of America to cease from fixing
prices and discriminating in favor of certain
purchasers. Certain golfers are accused of repre-
senting 1900 members of their association, en-
gagged in the retail sale of balls throughout the
country.
This, as any serious devotee of golf can see
and nearly all golfers nowadays are serious
is grim business and calls for something to be
done. Golf and golf ball prices must come down
along with other neceSsaries of life.

THE VIEWPOINT CHANGES

How the human outlook changes with
the years is thoroughly and encouraging
ly demonstrated in the educational cam
paign planned by the Imperial county
health department and women's clubs
this year to check the spread of venereal
diseases.

"A factor in world affairs the influence of
the United States has never, not even during the
great war, been more potentially decisive. 1t is
like great reservoir with which all international
strategy must reckon
So says the London Daily Telegraph organ of
an important section of British public opinion.
We quote it for two reaSons-First, because
every day the same thought is expressed some
where abroad. and, second because it is par
ticulary apropos now.
The world today is ticklishly balanced between
peace and war. Certain powerful nations have
openly expressed their Scorn for international
law and order based upon solemnly signed treat
les, and stand ready for the raSheSt kind of
aggression. Only one thing prevents the exist
ing conflicts from becoming world conflagra-
tion and that is the uncertainty over the outcome,
Especially are the outlaw states watching us.
In this situation the United States might we'll
cast the fatal die Should this country now an
nounce that, short of armed invasion of our
own soil, We shall not lift finger regardless
of what happens-even to Americans-that alone
might precipitate the catastrophe, and once be-
gun don't let us fool ourseves-We should inev-
itably be~dragged in.
Thus the defeat of the Ludlow war referen-
dun measure in the House was genuine move
in the direction of national security and peace
We heartily agree with what President Roose
welt said in a letter to Speaker Bankhead:
Such amendment to the Constitution
would encourage other nations to believe that
they could violate American rights with impuni-
ty. I fully realize that the sponsors of this
proposal sincerely believe that it would be help
full in keeping the United States out of
am convinced it would have the opposite effect "

Famous Sayings

Word comes from Germany that
the Nazis have finally achieved the
happy objective of getting that ma
tion's press on a 100 per cent war
time basis So a couple of parties
thrown by American newspaper
people take on a significance that
probably never occurred to their
planners.
In New York, the Inner Circle,
a news mems club, put on its an
nual stunt dinner. The big shots of
the big city came in for a we'll
done roasting accompanied by fire.
quent basting. In Washington the
same night the Women's National
Press Club took a number of pot
shots at governmental bigwigs,
male and female. from the Presid-
ent and Mrs. Roosevelt on down.
Such parties are, praise be, neith-
er novel nor unusual in America.
They are just part of good old
custom of engaging in a general
shirt unStuffing every so often.
American editors give readers the
news and crouch or glory as they
please in their editorial columns
The people who work for those
editors answer TO no one but their
bosses, and outside the office they
deport themselves just about as
they please.
Now there is no justice in picking
on the Nazis as far as ordinary
censorship of the news goes
America is about the only place
where people can still read news
just exactly as it happened But
the German government, by oper-
ating its press as in wartime
leaves itself wide open as the best
cor worst example of suppression.
Some of the recent news to
which the German people have
been treated, included these pro-
nouncements:
Everything is palSy-walsy be-
tween the old-line army chiefs and
Herr Hitler, the military shakeup
coming merely as the result of an

epidenmic of bad health among
the deposed chiefs.
Sympathetic Britishers ousted
because he led Popular Front agi-
tation for war on Germany and
Italy.
The Sudeten Germans in Cze-
choslovakia are the object of a vi
gorous pogrom and must be res
cued by the Fatherland.
The German Italian Japanese
friendship is the hope of civiliza-
ton.
Reichsfuehrer Hitler has the re-
spect and admiration of all right
thinking people.
But the payoff came when Al
fred Ingemar Berndt, assistant
press chief of the Reich. announced
that it was an insult TO the Ger
man government for a citizen to
doubt what he reads in the papers.
So if it gets about that some jolly
old Herr Schmaltz chuckled over
an account of the historical great
ness of the Fuehrer, then the Ges-
tapo-the secret police-will visit
Herr Schmaltz and make things
very uncomfortable for him in
deed.
In light of these facts, you
might, the next time you haven't
anything more aimless to do, try
to imagine the reporters and copy
readers on Der Angriff official
Nazi organ, throwing big party at
which they panned Herr Hitler and
his cohorts quite somewhat-and
in the presence OF The Great Man
himself!

Alameda Times-Star)

Joseph Kennedy, chairman of the Maritime
Commission, in a report to the White House
Thursday evening, indicates the necessity of
going abroad for the federal governments pro-
posed new ships. Cost of construction in the
United States, Chairman Kennedy suggests is
out of line and he indicates the remedy lies in
having the ships built by the workrnen of some
other nation.
Doubtless Mr.. Kennedy is right in his find
ings that ships be built abroad under the
system and wage scales Of other countries to
the financial advantage of the United States
treasury. That his suggestion will receive serious
consideration of the administration is improba-
BILE. But the introduction of this touchy subject
into federal business suggests the thought that
administration which has presumed to tell
businessmen in competition with the world what
they should do to raise wages and lower costs
should have sufficient business acumen to sue

Business which, after all should be the pro-

into the lap of the government IS quite differ
ent matter in that it presents actual conditions
not to be solved by fine-spun theory.
