BOY SCOUTS EXPRESS
APPRECIATION TO PRESS
EDITOR, Post-Press

EDITOR, PoSt-PreSS:
We have noted with much interest the
proclamation of Governor Merriam set
ting aside the week of Oct. 2-S as News
paper Week" in California.
1t seems appropriate that at this time
the Scouts and ScOuterS of the Imperial
Yuma area council Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, numbering over 1,200 members,
should take this occasion to express to
the newspapers of this area the apprecia-
ton of our local Boy Scout movement
for the splendid cooperation of the press
in keeping the public informed of the
many character building and citizenship
training activities of Scouting during the
past year.
During Boy Scout Week in February
every newspaper in Imperial and Yuma
counties gave recognition through editor
ials, cartoons and news items to the %
years of Scouting in America during
which time over 100000 boys have been
affiliated with this movement. Frequent
news items relating to Courts of Honor.
the Boy Scout summer camp, our local
and regional camporeeS and camporalS,
training courses and many other events
of similar nature have featured the
pages of our papers and the interest of
the public in this type of news has been
repeatedly displayed by favorable COM
ments from business and professional
men, parents, educators and others.
We citizens of the United States may be
thankful that we are privileged to live in
country where we have freedom of the
press and where organizations for the
training of youth i'll tenets of honor and
decency are not dominated by self-seek-
ing, power mad dictators who would sac
rifice these young men at the altar of
their egotism.
Sincerely Yours,
On behalf of the Imperial
Yuma Area Council Boy
Scouts of America.
HUGH NJ. WILCOX.
Scout Executive.

SOMETHING MORE THAN
IA COMMERCIAL INSTITUTION

Saturday will be Dollar Day in El Cen
|tro, crossroads of Imperial Valley COM
Emerce.
The stores and the sidewalks will be
(crowded Saturday, when valleyites from
|all points throng the city to take advan-
ftage of the bargains offered in the stores
and shops.
Yet Dollar Day is something more
than a commercial institution 1t is to
spirit what vapor is to a
bsteam engine or wind to a four-masted
bship. 1t is an opportunity to mix togeth-
Ter, to cooperate one with the other, to
know our community better.
Especially for those who live in the
farming areas, there are too few oppor-
|tunities to meet and talk with people
from other parts of the valley. Residents
of Ell Centre, too, will find a broader
outlook after mingling with their neigh
bors.
Dollar Day, because it brings people
together from all corners of the valley,
performs a service that cannot be mea-
sured in its dollars and cents value.

YOUR heart you don / really poiiSNS

The essence of the Fascist-Nazl

democracy is that any man may
voice any idea that seems good TO
him. without hinderance, because

There are a great many things
we can do to save democracy, but
there is one thing we cant do. we
can't fight for it. Democracy is the
first casualty in any fight, be it
great war or street corner brawl.
And if its defenders or democracy
abandon the principle that their

lose the battle before they begin.

A GOOD POLICY FOR THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, TOO

Paralleling his recent ruling in the
San Francisco retail store clerks strike
Harold Pomeroy, state relief admins
traitor, this week declared SRA will not
extend relief to striking cotton pickers
in Kern county, who walked out because
they wanted 81 per 100 pounds instead
of rs cents.
The striking organization in Kern
county is the Cannery and Agricultural
Workers Industrial union, which will be
remembered in Imperial county as the
union responsible for the disastrous let
tuce strike of 1882.
At that time the union was under Com
munist auspices. Now it is listed as a
CIO affiliate.
Pomeroys ruling in Kern county, as
i'm San Francisco, seems highly sensible.
1t was unfortunate for Imperial county
in strikes several years ago that the
federal government did not have a similar
ruling.
Logic seems to justify Pomeroy in his
stand.
Relief, we understand, is for people
who cannot find jobs. Certainly it cam
not be said that the strikers cannot find
jobs, for they left jobs when they went
on strike.
Also it seems foolish for them to con-
tend they cannot make a living at pre-
vailing scales for cotton picking. Others,
keeping the Kern county harvest at rs
per cent of normal are in fact making
living at it.
For the sake of California, we hope
the State Relief Administration contin-
ues to work along the line Of its present
sound principles.

Well. there is one woman who

of the Travellers Aid Society. She
sees them come every day-and she
knows what happens to them.
I asked her to draw up six hints
for people who are thinking of COM
ing to New York to look for work,
or careers, and this is what she gave
me:
l. Don't come at all unless you
are already trianed in the line of
work you are to seek
2. Before you come, arm yourself
with as many letters of introduction
as you can get to people who may
be able to help you find employ
ment.
2. Be prepared to spend about
lOuGulB
as you had in mind.
4. Write to the employment de-
partment of companies engaged in
the kind of work you want and see
what chance there is for an inter-
view. You may get no response,
but you have nothing to lose by try
ing-beyond a few postage stamps.
Most people will reply to a letter
if a stamped and self-addressed en-
velope is enclosed)
S. If you are a girl, or a boy un-
der Is, jot down the name of the
Travellers Aid Society. If you are
hard up, they may be able to take
you in and let you work for your
board.
If you are over 16, remember that
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton may be able to give you, at
least some good advise.
6. Last and most important. if
possible, bring with you a return
trip ticket.
Do you get exhausted and add to
it by worrying over all you have to
do? If so, slip away if possible,
from the hectic city life for a few
days in the country. I once spent
long weekend at Poconto Noun
tains in Pennsylvania.
took a buggy ride, yes sir,
real buggy ride behind white
horse trotting along foaming noun
tain streams boiling and leaping
over boulders as they rushed to the
sea. Each side of the road was bank
ed with mountain laurel and rhodo-
dendron. And far away to the hor-
rizon, rolled range after range of
the pine-clad Pocono Mountains.
This beautiful region is only one
hundred miles away from the noisy
harrassed sidewalks of New York.
Yes, sir, if you are tired, get away
from familiar scenes and go fishing
in the country.

UNCLE SANS FIRST
LINE OF DEFENSE

Recent threats of war in Europe should
serve on this side of the water to focus
the official attention of the United States
on the need for combating propaganda
aimed by Germany and Italy at alienat-
ing the affections of South American
republics.
In event of war, German and Italian
influence in South America would be
more than an economic problem to the
United States. 1t would be a very defin-
ite military problem.
And it is a problem that should be
met before it materializes.

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY
(Orange NeWS)

(Orange NeWS)
The farm interests of Orange, River
side and Imperial counties have long been
the target of radical organizers deter
mined to impose their will on the agri-
cultural industry. The farmers, already
carrying more burdens than they are able
to carry, have stood resolutely in self
defense.
The farmers have maintained a free
road to market. They have retained the
right of hiring in their packing houses
and on the farms. They have refused to
bow to the dictation Of radical exploiters.
Agricultural freedom has not been pre-
served without great effort and desperate
contests. Only through sound organiza-
tion, alertness and determination has it
been possible to preserve agriculture in
this and other counties from the attacks
of radicalism and from radical racket
eers.
No informed pers on will fail to see
the necessity, in such a struggle, of the
cooperation of local law enforcement
agencies. Without the active and vigor-
ous support Of law and order, the farm
er would have found his battle for his
rights, vastly more difficult.
In this county, the farmer has had
that support. He is entitled to it. 1t has
been of great value to MIN. 1t is some
thing that he cannot afford to lose.
1t is, therefore the business of the
farmer and of the organizations which
represent him, to see that such support is
not surrendered. 1t is true in the farmers
case that vigilance is the price of liberty.
The farm interests of Orange county
must be alert to conditions which threat
en- the security which agriculture has
won. The fruits of victory will be stolen
if the farmer sleeps.

Hitler for Peace
Political PsychOdndlySis

HOfIIIcul TSUCHOuHUt5O'"
WASHINGTON. - Grateful Tor
European peace, the U. S. govern
ment nevertheless looks askance at
the new continental situation ana
is determined to keep its powder
dry.
The Munich agreement, strength
ening the dictator nations and
weakening at least the prestige OF
European democracies, has left mis-
givings. Private comment from high
administration officials is disheart-
ening to those who hoped the four
power conference was forerunner
of permanent peace.
Naval military preparedness will
be pushed if the present frame OF
mind continues. Officials will watch
carefully to see whether Germany
and Italy are willing to stop piling
up armaments and direct produc-
tive energies into peaceful fields.
Nothing fundamental has hap
pened to remove from the minds
of Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull the fear of
world dominated by great war ma
chimes which eventually would men
ace the United States. Although
Roosevelt especially is regarded as
''big navy" man, Hull is no less
so and naval policy actually is
directed from the State Depart
ment.
Some of Roosevelt advisers urged
him, before his second message to
Hitler, to call for an international
conference for revision of the Ver-
sailles Treaty in which this nation
would at least offer its good Of
fices." Realization of the popular
preference for isolation was at
least one deterrent. But the Presi-
dent still has hankerings for
great international conference at
which the world might work out
a self-help program
Whatever the merits of Premier
Chamberlain's deal with Hitler, the
United States is perhaps at least
indirectly responsible for it be-
cause there might not have been
any Chamberlain government when
the crisis came if it hadn't been
for this government.
When Roosevelt was considering
ending the America embargo to
Spain last spring, he was disSuaded
largely by the assurances of Am
bassador Joseph P. Kennedy and
others that Chamberlain was seek
ing to break the Rome-B Berlin axis
and preserve peace. Breaking the
embargo, he was told, would ruin
the Chamberlain Mussolini negoti-
ations and cause the Chamberlain
government to fall and be sue
ceeded by one which would take a
firmer stand against the dictators.
Private adviceS to the White
House and State Department from
observers recently returned from
Europe indicate Chamberlains per-
sistent policy of placating Germany
was chiefly due to reluctance to
ally England with Russia. One man
in whom officials repose faith re-
ports that the British Labor Party
used to talk so much about "class
struggle" that it instilled the Tory
ruling with a much greater fear of
Communism than of FasciSm.
