all countries the government
newspaper Izvestia added in a SIM
liar editorial regarding the new
Russian mutual aid" paets with
Latvia. Esthonia and Lithuania.
The Lenin-S Stain policy is bas-
ed on friendship of nations and
supported by the entire Soviet
people"
Poth newspapers sought TO en-
phasize the mutual benefits of the
new agreements and their Influence
on peace in eastern Europe as
Soviet officials welcomed a Finnish
delegation 10 Moscow for negotia-
tions on political and economic
problems.
The Soviet policy of peace and
good neighborly relations and
friendship with nations scores one
success after another" said Pravda.
THE Soviet union removes the
menace on the part of imperialist
powers to weakly defended states
bordering on it. Stable peace Is
being created in eastern Europe.
The peoples of our country will
meet with tremendous satisfaction
the conclusion of a new treaty
consolidating the power of the So
Wet union and creating a new
barrier against all imperialist in
trigues.
THE people of the Soviet union
welcome the wise policy of their
government, which has proved able
to protect the inviolability and
peace of the country by system
of treaties with neighboring states.
The article was written on the
occasion of a mutual aid" treaty
with Lithuania, Germany's next
door neighbor, which was expected
to put Russia air force bases with
in a few miles of East Prussia
treaty which clinched Russia's new
hold On the whole inner Baltic.

The army had million men to
call on, including reservists and
militia, at the outbreak of the war,
he said.
Britain will not limit itself, he
emphasized, to sending to France
only the 80 divisions promised last
April in event of war.
This will not be the limit of our
effort" he said, adding that new
equipment, including 16 anti-tank
guns per battalion, had greatly in
creased the firing power over the
infantry Of World War days.
In 1914, Hore-Belisha pointed out,
only 300 mechanized vehicles were
sent 10 France.
I'VE have already on this occa-
sion transported 10 France more
than $4,000 vehicles, including
tanks. Some Of them are of enor-
nous dimensions, weighing IS tons
or more apiece" he said.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. II. CUP)
The Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations today pledged itself to
a vast organizational drive and in
effect challenged the numerical
strength of the American Fedora
ton of Labor by setting goal of
1O.OOO,OOO dues-paying members by
1945.
Delegates to the second annual
national CIO convention divided in
to committees today to transact
convention business which included
the drafting of numerous resolu'
tions on such subjects as neutrali-
ty. labor legislation, the 1910 pres
idential campaign and the position
of the United States in connection
with the European war.
The convention apparently was
in no mood for peace overtures
to the AFL. John o l.. Lewis, CIO
president, struck the keynote on
the issue of labor unity when he
said
Some persons quite keenly in
terested in labor peace didn't give
a tinker's damn about labor's prob
lens until the CLIO came into exis-
tence."

spokesman said. I'VE have fought
the Russians for hundreds of years.
Sometimes we have lost. Sometimes
we have won. But always-we have
fought"
Holding to every shred Of hope
that aid might come to them, Fin
nish people counted on the friend
ship of the United States, recalling
its praise for Finland as the only
nation among many that had paid
its war debt installments promptly
and in full.
An army of 255,o00 men had been
disposed at strategic points.
A further force of 10000 civil
guard volunteers awaited a mobil-
ization call for duty. These Finnish
minute men keep their guns and
steel helmets in their homes and
are able to mobilize in from two
to three hours.

Norfh-End Water
Chief Dismissed:
Growers Angered
Continued from Page u

Brawley Director w. f. Young was
quoted as protesting the dismissal
of a superintendent without con-
sultation with him.
Young also was quoted as saying
that he had carried around with
him a letter of resignation from
Guest ever since the Albert Pond
case in which the power head at
Calipatria was charged with mis-
appropriating funds. The letter was
for use in case anything developed
involving Guest in the asserted
shortages.
II didn't think acceptance neces-
sary," Young was quoted as say
ing.
Meanwhile, large growers were
vehement in their protests. One,
who asked that his name be with
held, said:
This firing a good and capable
man on the grounds of inefficiency
just won't do! BY gosh, sentiment
of every good man up here in Cali
patria is aroused!"
A committee, including D. D.
BroWnell, L. E. Sinclair, c.. 0. Hoob-
er, w. C. Wilkinson, M. Bates. met
with Hartzog last night. Commit
teemen said that Hartzog gave no
indication of resembling the dis
miSSal.
Leaders in the move to defend
Guest said they planned to take
the matter before Hewes. One said !:
1--WE don't want to fight with
him. We just want to straighten
this thing out"
Difficulty was encountered in
reaching Director Charles Morrow,
Director w. j. Gregg or Director
Young Wednesday forenoon for
statements. Unofficial sources, how
ever, maintained strongly that
Guests dismissal was neither from
connection with the Pond case nor
from personal grudges or politics.
One authoritative source said:
This is not a matter of politics
and purely one of efficient opera
ton. Neither was the dismissal a
factional dispute"
Ranching, in addition to his posi-
ton as water superintendent, was
advanced as one possibility. Under
district policy, men in such key
positions are not permitted to farm
on the side.
