LET US EXAMINE
THE FUNDAMENTALS

Under the guise of Democracy. speak
or after speaker at the Imperial county
fair grounds the other night Joined in
program as viciously un-American as
if il had been aimed directly at over
throw of the Democracy.
For many of those who heard the
speeches by Lieut.-Gov. Ellis E. Patter-
son and others. the evening should have
been thought provoking one. Through
every speech ran thread of class pre-
iudice, class hatred and mass hysteria.
Such things should have no place in a
Democracy.
This country was founded on the liv-
ing theory that the people form unit.
with equal opportunity and equal treat
ment for everyone 1t was hewn out of
the wilderness by persons who fled their
homelands largely because the class syS-
tenn prevailed there. Yet today we find
politicians and others of questionable
motives attempting to infuse an intense
class consciousness IN our country, which
was formed TO escape Just that
This new, strong effort to agitate
class hatreds is not a cause for frenzy.
1t will not be halted by frenzy 1t needs
to be met, rather, by sober consideration
and studied action. Above all, we must
remember that violence increases class
prejudice and gives agitators something
TO talk about.
There should be no room in this coun-
try for a movement to set labor union
members apart as a class by themselves,
entitled to special privileges and special
protection. No more should there be
room for movement to give employers
special privileges or special protection.
Equality of opportunity, equality under
the law and equality in the eyes of fel-
low men provide the fundamental struc-
ture for Amercanism. Let us hold to
that structure.

HuII's Request Seen as Effort to
Break German Munitions Monopoly

ropean nations now must depend
on Germany for military equip
ment even for normal maintenance
of internal law and order, they said.
That situation has been aggray-l I
ated by Germany's continued state
of practical mobilization, thus MAX
ing it necessary for other European
governments TO increase their arm
aments.
Hull, it was said, carefully tabu-
lated the booty in military equip
ment and the increased ornaments
manufacturing potentialities OBJ
tanned by Germany in the acquisi-
ton of Czechoslovakia. He con-
cluded that Germany had obtained
a dominating position III the man
ufacture of armaments, and that
that position was being exploited
by her military preparedness.
Hull's request for repeal of the
arms embargo provisions was made
last Saturday in letters to the
chairmen of the senate and house
foreign affairs committees. 1t was
offered, officials said, as step
TO break Germanys practical mon
opoly and TO free small govern
ments from obligations to that
country for armament require
mentS.

WHO OWNS THE
GERMAN NATION TODAY?

Maj. Gen. George Van Horn Moseley,
who admires Adolf Hitler because he
thinks Hitler returned the German ma
tion to German people," might revise
his opinion by closer study of the
situation in Germany.
The German people have no more to
say about their nation than the Rus
sian people have to say about the gov
ernment of Soviet Russia. Compared to
the people of America, they are as slaves
in chains.
The general is to be thanked, perhaps,
for his description of Imperial Valley
as place of 100 per cent loyal Ameri-
canism We hope and believe he is right
about that. At the same time, we cannot
agree with his admiration of Hitler, any
more than we could agree if he praised
Josef Stain. One man is as bad as the
other Both have enslaved their people
in bonds of censorship, class and ma
tional hatred and fear.
Moseley believes that Germany has
solved her economic problems, intimat-
ing an unpleasant comparison with the
United States We have heard the COM
parison beforehand it will not stand
examination. We have serious problems
here, it is true, and in Germany they
have no unemployment. But you must go
beyond that for the comparison
Germany has absorbed her unemploy-
ed in the army, in concentration camps
and in forced labor on trenches and
defense works. They are not engaged
in productive enterprise-they are en-
gagged in preparing for slaughter. Fur
ther, Germany's wage scale is far below
that of the United States, her people
must even eat what the government tells
them to because there is a shortage of
food staples, and they must pay more
than half of their earnings to the gov
ernment in the form of taxes.

NOT SO EASY
AS THAT
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(Orovllle Mercury-Register)
In his recently broadcasted address
before the American Retail Federation
President Roosevelt defended his spend
ing program and stated that the mount
ing national debt is not a menace to
national stability for the reason that
we owe it to ourselves.
Il is of course true that practically
all of our bonds are owned and held in
this country and that the interest paid
by the federal government is paid to
Americans.
However this interest charge now
amounts to almost three million dollars
lority of taxpayers who own no govern
ment bonds. The banks and financial in
stitutions generally are stuffed with
these government obligations and to them
most of the interest, wrung from the
general public in taxes, is paid.
The American citizen fortunate enough
to own some government bonds and who
therefore is merely paying taxes to HIM
self as the president suggests, is merely
taking money out of one pocket and put
ting it into another He is entitled to
such satisfaction from this transaction
as he may be able to get but TO the vast
majority of us, whether we realize it or
not, the public debt is a burden Just
as real and unevadeable as our own
personal obligations No amount of ora
tory can make the bitter pill more palat-
able.

Bruce Cation in WASHINGTON
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON. = A left-Winp
farm belt attack on Secretary of
Agriculture Henry Wallace is gath
ering strength behind the scenes.
1t may not break at this session
of Congress: that depends partly
on chance. II it does not. it is
quite likely to pop up in 1910 as
a serious embarrassment to the
New Deals political chances.
II centerS ON two demandS-tha
the domestic price for American
farm products be lifted above the
world level and that activities of
spectators in commodity futures be
curbed.
1t is being headed up by de-
termined western farm leader. Er-
vim f. King. master of the Wash
ington State Grange. King, who
has just gone back west after sev-
eral weeks of intense activity in
the capital. drove a resolution for
a cost-of- production farm bill
through last falls session of the
National Grange. and leads a west
ern and southern Grange bloc
which is somewhat to the left of
the Oranges national leadership
He is primarily interested in see
ing this bill, or some variant of it,
get through Congress. The chances
are that such a bill would pass, if
the administration did not oppose
it pretty strongly.
That is. in addition to the SEN
ators and representatives. who are
openly committed to the idea, there
are good many more who would
go for it if left to follow their OWN
inclinations, but who don't want
ii badly enough TO defy the Presi-
dent and the secretary of agricul-
ture.
In addition, King is out for Wal
lace's scalp. Part of Kings sup
port comes from the elements which
see in the grain Specuiator logical
explanation for the plight of the
farmer This group holds that
Wallace'S policies have failed TO
put the grain Speculator where he
belongs, and wants the whole sub
ject of grain speculation inYcsti-
gated by Congress.

In a queer. back-handed way the
settlement of the nation wide coal
shutdown. or strike, whichever you
prefer, has taken off some of the
pressure for killing the Guffey coal
act
Early this spring a number of
prominent coal operators formed
a committee pledged to seek am
endment of the coal act-and, by
amendment, they meant changes
that would virtually kill it. The
committee opened offices here and
went to work
Came the coal shutdown. Coal
operators Wrangled among them
selves in the process of reaching
agreement with Mr. Lewis Some
of those favoring the settlement
we're ON The committee for amend
ment of The coal act. and so were
some of those opposing the settle
ment.
AS a result, harmony vanished
and now the committee finds it
self hampered for want of funds.
The scope of its activities is mar
rowed considerably, its staff has
been cut down and some of
the pressure is off.
In addition, Mr.. Roosevelt's act
in killing the coal commission and
transferring its functions to Sec
retary 1ckes has deprived the COM

A MILLION INVITATIONS
Riverside Press

Bushels of post cards have been sent
by the citizens of our neighboring state
of Washington to people throughout the
other AZ states-and elseWhere-to iii
vite million tourists.
The state Junior chamber of commerce
and the state progress commission have
cooperated in promoting the plan. New
and attractive post cards were prepared
and more than half million were
mailed.
For this is Washington's golden jubi-
lee year. Fifty years of statehood are
certainly worth celebrating But the ap-
peal TO tourists these days goes out from
every state and for one common reason-
tourists are good business. We know it
in California because we have had years
of experience.
The business side of such campaigns
need worry no one. The forty-eight
states and Washington, d. c., not to
mention Alaska and Hawaii, are all in
teresting, all have attractions to display
and all have place on the patriotic
Americans travel itinerary.
Few of us can see the whole thing
in single year Our vacations are not
long enough nor our purses well enough
filled. But we can all study maps and
time tables and look at picture post
cards and read travel books-this is the
official time of year to do this.
Sooner or later many of us will pack
up the suitcases and set forth to see as
much of our country as we can. No doubt
the regions sending out the appealing
invitations get the most visitors first.
Nevertheless, in whichever direction you
travel you will find interesting exper-
fences.
So we say bon voyage and hurry back

United States - built to seat 1000
pupils. Yet far more impressive than
that, to us, was this little glass school,
house" which three years ago was
purely a dream in the mind of its
architect, ]. c. Taylor.
Prettily situated on three-acre
lot in Bennett Park, the new school is
pleasingly modern to the eye without
any of the bizarre touches or the
relentless simplicity which so often
passes for the 'modernistic." As you
approach the building. you are hardly
conscious of the glass-block treatment.
Indeed, having heard it referred to as
"the little glass schoolhouse," you are
disappointed to discover that it is
fundamentally of buff brick.
1t isn't until you get into the class
rooms that you fully grasp how exten-
sive the use of glass has been. Each
room has more than twice the glass
