A MILESTONE POINTS
THE WAY TO REFINANCTNG

What may well be the most important
decision since the All American canal
contract was approved will be left to
the people of the Imperial Irrigation
District if district directors Tuesday
follow the recommendation of the coun-
ty farm bureau refunding bond commit
tee.
Every indication is that the directors
will follow the farm bureau committees
recommendation, approve a refinancing
plan already approved by sub-com-
mittee of bondholders, and set up the
machinery for an election at which the
people will decide if they want to accept
the plan for reduced interest rates long
er term payments and drainage financ-
ing.
1t seems only right that the people
should now be allowed to decide upon
some plan of refinancing
They can, upon whatever date is fixed
for an election, tell their district direc-
tors to proceed with refinancing under
the program as outlined, or they can say
to the directors, in effect:
go back and try to work out some
thing better"
Before that decision is made there are
many things to be considered.
There is repayment of the huge debt
of S15,000,000 now hanging over the
district. There is the community's cred
it, so long in shadow from uncertainty
surrounding the bond problem. There
is the matter of reduced interest rates.
and the question of taxes that are levied
against property owners in the district
Not the least of these considerations,
perhaps, should be the fact that Impe-
rial county cannot reach the maximum
of its possible prosperity as long as the
bond problem is unsettled. The damage
done to the valley by the present bond
situation cannot be measured alone in
the dollars and cents of bond and war
rant principal and interest
1t must be measured also, in the great
annual cost to the community occasioned
by impaired credit. 1t must include the
investments that are withheld because
the bond matter is unsettled. 1t must
include the federal farm loans that are
denied for the same reason.
1t must, in short, include the cost of
uncertainty, which is always great
There can be little doubt that the
people here, for the sake of their future,
must sooner or later reach settlement
Of this vexing problem.
Whether the settlement lies in the plan
now presented will be shown by develop
ments within the next few days.

The NEW DANGER
IN EUROPE

Correspondents report the possibility
of grave new crisis in Europe as a
result of the efforts of Poland and
Hungary further to dismember unfor
tunate Czechoslovakia.
Part of the danger lies in the fact
that Germany, England, France and
Italy are bound by the newly signed
Munich agreement to protect the new
Czech borders - and yet Germany, at
least, would normally be in sympathy
with Poland and Hungary.
But by far the greatest danger lies,
we believe, in the fact that the people of
Great Britain have been pushed as far
as they will go. Ahead lies danger.

Bruce Carton Says
The Memory of War Gives the World Pause

home any more.
Mussolini knows that there was
far less enthusiasm for the casu-
atty lists from Ethiopia and Spain
than there was for the embarka-
tions. Hitler may remember, him
self.
Britain has a large and vocal
pacifist sentiment. Britain Will
fight, but only for a situation that
unquestionably and directly threat
ems Britain.
France can scarcely afford any
more lavish gestures than a de-
termination to fight under similar
conditions.
The crisis passes, the world draws
a deep breath. The question Of
whether strict justice has been done
to Czechoslovalzia merges into the
question of how strict justice was
done when her border lines were
drawn in 1918.
The Spanish war, it is rumored,
may be liquidated soon. They are
tired of the killing there, and there
is a rumor that in Japan they are
tired too. tired of that endless
stream of little black lacquer boxes
that pours in from China with the
ashes of Japan's best youth.
How much of the worlds woe
today is due to the fact that be-
tween 1914 and 1918 we killed off
eight and a half millions of the
best. strongest, most talented of the
worlds young men?
AS the World War was largely
fought in vain, so this crisis, only
less terrible than war itself, will
have been in vain if the people of
the world do not insist mere and
more strongly: This is not good
enough! We insist on leadership in
the world that is wise enough, and
strong enough, and sane enough. to
see that this ddes not happen

TRAFFIC DEATHS DECLINE
BUT FIGHT NOT WON
(Hanford SentineN

(Hanford Sentlne)
Although the daily death toll on the
highways still is appalling, the National
Safety Council reports that safety cam
paigns have brought excellent results
during the first seven months of 1888.
The council estimates that 1920 lives
p lives daily-have been saved through
the efforts of various organizations
which have promoted and carried out
safety campaigns.
The record for 1888, so far is the best
since 1888, still 16,030 persons already
have died this year as the result of auto
mobile traffic tragedies. Many of the
fatal accidents were classified as pre-
ventable," consequently the Safety Coun-
Gil and kindred organizations still have
a long way to go in their educational
programs.
Thirty-nine of the forty-eight states
cut the death toll on the highways dur
ing the first seven months of this year.
Some states in which intensive campaigns
had been waged showed remarkable
progress in life saving.
Young drivers are the most dangerous
to public safety, the council learned af-
ter careful analysis of the fatal acci
dents. Youths 20 years of age and under
had far more accidents of a serious ma
ture than those of more mature age and
discretion.
While that is not an argument to de-
prive the youth of the family car it
should serve as warning to his parents
and to him that cold statistics are
against him in the hazardous business of
driving a car on the crowded highways.
And it should serve to inspire the boys
and girls entrusted with the family car
or one of their own to change those cold
statistics through careful driving.
The decline in traffic tragedies is
hopeful sign. Instead of letup in edu-
cational campaigns, however, there
should be more intensified drive to re-
duce the figures still further The sacri-
flee of q lives daily in the nation is
unnecessary.

Society can send its Albert Dyers
marching to the San Quentin gallows,
but the hangman's moose is punishment
only, and the crime cure the nation an
Xiously seeks is not detection and con-
viction, but prevention.
Education is no magic cure-all, but it
is the best and surest means society has
yet found for diScOuraging crime. 1t
holds, to date, our greatest hope of Great
ing a sense of social responsibility in
youth, of building healthy character
through group activity in the playfield
and classroom, and of instilling love
of decency and square dealing.
Education, as crimes deadliest foe
was wildly pictured by Dr.. Reuben T.
Shaw, president of The National Educa-
ton Association, during his visit to Cali
fornia last week. And in the misguided
economies which today are depriving
100000 school-age children of education

situation typically responsible for crime
in this country.
Fortunately, he could point no accus-

What was it, in the long run,
that prevented Europe's leaders
from opening the sluice-gates OF
slaughter and turning millions OF
the brightest ard best of its youth
into dead men?
Was it Chamberlain's dramatic
play for time, which gave reason a
chance to exert itself? Was it the
extraordinary patience and restraint
of the Czechs? Was it the dawning
realization Of Hitler that a long
World War on the scale of 1918
would drag him down in general
ruin? Was it President Roosevelt's

All of these things were factors,
of course. But the biggest factor
was a great ground-swell of mur-
