Ware of ReUenge
Threats from II. S. :. I.

WASHINGTON. - B e h in d all
maneuvers of the u. S. government
in relation to war-clouded Europe
has been the strong belief, firmly
held by the man in the White House
as well as other officials, that Hit
ler is aiming toward a German
war of revenge against France.
This conviction nurtures a GER
tainty that concessions to Herr Hit
ler will only strengthen Germany's
economic power, her war machine
and her prestige toward the day
when France will be attacked and
Britain will come to her defense.
Hence the curiously complicated
administration policy of trying to
make it appear that the U. S.
would not have stood by in COM
plete neutrality if England and
France had insisted on a prompt
showdown with Germany over
Czechoslovakia.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
went on the theory that the only
thing which might dissuade Hitler
from further aggression would be
a threat of British -F'rench-R Russian
military opposition plus vague
threats of something or other which
might be done by the u. S.
A sort of corollary American
policy developed, based on hope
that strong declarations by Roose-
velt and Hull, aimed at Hitler,
might put spine" in the British
and French. But public sentiment
for peace and isolation prevented
Roosevelt and Hull from saying
anything strong enough to be ef-
fectiVe.
The hope Hitler could be scared
or bluffed at the time was Wash
ington's best bet for peace. Amer
lean diplomats don't share the be-
lief of some high British officials
that Nazi Germany can be de-
pended on to spend her strength
against Soviet Russia instead of
seeking complete European domi-
nation by an attack on France.
When Germany first began man.
euvers equivalent to mobilization,
both Roosevelt and Hull made
speeches they hoped would directly
affect Hitler's plans. The effect
hasn't been noticeable. But it's
contended at the State Department
that the government did all it
could.
Stronger gestures, in keeping
with the present neutrality laws
which the administration wants
repealed, might have been made.
The State Department might have
invoked the 1921 peace treaty
which forbade shipments of muni-
tionS to Germany.

AS OLD AS PAPER,
AND AS INSECURE
DAILY Oklahoman)

There is nothing new in California s
experiment with unsecured paper scrip.
Unsecured paper money probably is as
old as Egyptian papyrus. Certainly it is
as old as the American republic.
And nowhere has an issue of unsecur-
ed paper money failed to leave financial
ruin in its wake.
During the days of the confederation
the congress issued many millions of
dollars in unsecured paper currency.
And at the close of the confederation
era continental currency was worth only
sec to l. 1t was in those days that dis
gusted people coined the lasting phrase,
mot worth a continental" The most
worthless thing on the continent when
the constitution was adopted was the
unsecured paper currency of the con-
gresS.
Many Of the original 13 states expert
mented to their sorrow with unsecured
paper money. All of them saw the bills
they had emitted lose practically all of
their value. North Carolina money was
worth seven and one-half to one. Mas
sachusettS, New Hampshire and COnnec-
ticut experimental with paper money
and nearly ruined their people. Rhode
Island currency became as cheap as q
to l. And for fear that they would be
deprived of their worthless money the
people of Rhode Island refused to send
delegates to the constitutional conven-
ton. To safeguard the privilege of ruin
ing her people with a valueleSS currency
North Carolina refused to ratify the fed
eral constitution for several years.
Many weird efforts were made by the
states to hold up the value of their un-
secured currency. Unless a Tennessee
creditor agreed to accept almost worth
less paper, the judgment he had won in
court could not be executed for two years.
But in spite of the most drastic efforts
to preserve their value, the unsecured
notes Of the states became nearly as val
ueless as the old continentals.
But in spite of history's multiplied and
tragic warnings every period of stress
creates demand for the issue of cur
rency which has but little value after it
is issued
For several years we have heard re-
peated demands for printing press mon
ey.
The California movement towards un-
secured scrip is the result of soft money
hysteria. 1t is all akin to the effort to
cure shortage in cloth and groceries by
limiting the yard stick to II inches and
decreeing that six ounces shall constitute
a pound.

VOTE YES FRIDAY
ON PWA OFFER

To secure Imperial Valleys future,
there are two things every resident of
the Imperial Irrigation District should
do Friday:
Go to the polls.
Vote yes"
Imperial Valley will never have an
other chance to obtain a gift of $S55,OOO
to complete its municipal power system,
and the chances are that it will never
have another chance to borrow S1,045,-
600, or any other comparable sum, on
such favorable terms. 1t is chance we
should not miss.
Sooner or later the district would be
forced to find some means of financing
another power plant on the All Ameri-
can canal. as we'll as additional distribu-
tion facilities. By great good fortune. the
means has been presented to the district
sooner than expected, and more faVorably
than was hoped. 1t would be, in our
opinion, serious municipal mistake to
ignore the opportunity that is presented.
In less than month the people of I'M
perial Valley will see a dream of years
pulse over distribution lines that have
been erected by the district with the aid
of the federal government. To every
city in the valley, there will be delivered
municipal power. 1t will go, too, to the
more populated farming areas.
But what of the other fellow who
lives outside of the thickly populated
areas? He is just as truly a resident of
the district as anyone else. He deserves
just as much consideration.
A "yes" vote Friday will give him the
consideration he is entitled TO. But it
will do more than that. 1t will put up
a safeguard for the future of the power
system. 1t will establish a system cap
able of serving all of the valleys needs.
Through a Eyes" vote the people will
say:
I'VE are going to complete our power
system now We are going to start out
with all the facilities we need, so we
shall not have to worry later, when mon-
ey may be harder to get, about building
another power plant and putting in new
lines We are going to provide for ALL
OF THE NEEDS of today, and while
we're at it we shall provide for tomor
row, too
1--WE are going to vote yes Friday"

IF CZECH MINORITlES
SET A PRECEDENT

If all the nations of the world decided
to abide by the precedent Adolf Hitler
wants to force on Czechoslovakia, the
United States would be in as pretty
mess as you've ever heard of. In fact,
there wouldn't be any more United
States if all nations demanded and took
the right to govern their minorities in
other nations.
Here's why:
The German minority" in the United
States amounts to 6,8OO,0OO The Italian
minority is 100000. There are 4,300,-
600 Englishmen in this country; $780,
900 Poles, an equal number of Cana
dians; 100000 Scandinavians; the same
number of Irish; and sizeable minorities
of Russians MeXicans, CZechs, Austrians,
Hungarians and French.
If Germany, Italy, England, ct al,
decided to govern their minorities in
this country, there wouldn't be much
left.

Bruce Carton Says
= The American Way is No Miracle

Than North America, II the par
,iers were taken down. 1t has i'm
,nense stocks of natural resources
and it is enormously productive OF
raw materials. What has been
done in North America could be
done in Europe-if people would
only understand that it has TO be
done.
AS long as Europe clings to the
old idea of water tight boundaries
and conflicting national destinies"
as long as men believe that one
nation can prosper only at the eX-
pense Of its neighbors, instead of
in cooperation with them-just SO
long will there be wars and rumors
of wars. Men won't have lasting
peace until they come around to
this other way of looking at things.
We can call this other way the
American way if we want to.
There's no call for us to get con
ceited about it. We had a lucky
break, in that we were able to start
from scratch. But the object les
son is Just as good. And the spec
tacle of those children, dancing and
laughing together while their rela-
tives overseas were ready to fly at
one another's throats, is in its own
way a signpost pointing to the only
way to lastig peace.

ROOSEVELT on $50 PER WEEK
(WOodlake Echo)

'
Something has been originated which
is too wild for President Roosevelt
And that is the $50 a week pension plan
Of it he says "One word of warning In
effort to provide security for all of the
American people let us not allow our
selves to be misled by those who advocate
short cuts to Utopia or fantastic finan-
cial schemes" He said the plan is an
extremely attractive one on its face but
when tried out in Alberta, Canada, it
did not work. He said this type of tax
would fall heavier on the poor than the
rich. 1t would, he reported, cost billion
dollars in state warrants. There is no
doubt than that this plan is pretty bad
for the President has been for ANY
THING with fair chance of working.
