YOU CAN'T SEND
THEM ALL BACK HOME

A lot of trash has been written in fie-
ton form and in pink tea newspapers,
magazines and other periodicals about
the homeless wanderers of California
harvest fields-the people known to Off
cial relief agencies as migratory workers.
Trash of the kind, for instance, that
blames the condition of the wanderers
upon big land owners and corpora
ton ranches" If anybody besides the
migratory workers themselves is to blame,
it is the relief setup which has made Cali
fornia the most attractive nation in the
country for those who live at public eX
pense
Don't think for one minute, however,
that it is safe to overlook the migratory
worker problem. 1t is very real prob
lem, and one which will have its effect
on California pocketbooks in the future
even more than it has had in the past
Squabbling over who is to blame for
bringing thousands of penniless, hungry
people to California will not help decide
what is to be done with them. California
is not a nation in itself-it cannot de-
port these people back to the states from
which they came. Nor can it ignore them.
Something must be done about them.
These people are not charges against
the state until they have established legal
residence Already many have done SO,
almost solely in order to obtain relief
from state agencies Each month more
are added to the list of legal residents
and to the relief rolls Each month the
sum necessary for relief in California
grows larger The states mounting def
cit can be traced largely to increasing
relief costs.
Among those who discuss the plight
of migratory workers there are two radl
cal schools Of thought. One holds that
nobody should do anything for the wan-
derers The other holds that they should
be treated to all the luXuries of life at
the expense of the taxpaying public. Both
are dangerous ideas.
Humanity itself demands that these
people shall not be allowed to die from
starvation, nor to waste away with dis
ease, nor to turn into an itinerant, noma-
die tribe of illiterate undesirableS whose
presence may pollute the whole struc-
ture of society It is for the protection
of society itself that they must be cared
for
Who shall bear the cost of caring for
them, and seeing that they are, event
ually made self sustaining? Therein lies
the greatest problem just now-and il
is one that California alone cannot solve
without bankruptcy for the state. These
people come from many states; they
should be the responsibility of many
states They are and should be burdens
on the nation, not on the state.

ONE GOOD MULE

In the last half of 1889, there is still
plenty of time for the American motoring
public-and that includes Imperial Val
ley's many motorists-to help cut this
years accident fatality figures below
those of last year.
Only one little thing is necessary to
reduce accidents 1t is such simple
thing that it is too often overlooked by
the fellow who takes every mechanical
precauton against a fatal crash on the
highway Yet il is a thing that cannot
be supplied by the engineers who build
highways, nor those who build automo-
biles, nor yet by the men who issue driy-
MS licenses to prospective motorists.
1t is common sense.

The shame of the world is COM
pressed within the appeal made re-
Gently by the British National Coun-
Gil of Labor to the German people
under the poignant heading why
Kill Each Other?'
Neither you nor we,' ran part
of the appeal, must submit to the
belief that war is inevitable. The
mind and will of man must assert
themselves. You Germans, we
British, and all other peoples must
determine to be the masters and
not the slaves of our fate. We must
not suffer the indignity and sorrow
of drifting into a catastrophe war .
There follows a long indictment
of the German leadership for it's
notwithstanding policies, and an as
surance that alliances being under
taken are made necessary by de-
fense, not contrived to encircle Ger
many.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-08-25
Willis Thornton's S Editorial on:
'Whv Kill Each Other British Labor Ask

I'VE are your friends" resumes
the appeal. War, in fact, threatens
Won not from outside but from in
side your own country, and the re-
sponsibility for that threat belongs
to Herr Hitler and his government.
Herr Hitler is encircling himself
and YOU. And it is all so foolish,
so wicked, so futfe!'
The appeal continued with an in
vitation to Germany, instead OF be-
ing encircled, to join the circle it
self with a worldwide combination
of nations. 1t closed: Let the gov
ernments OF all lands know that
the peoples have no wish to slaugh-
ter each other but to live together
in peace and friendship
This appeal, of course, was not
published in the German papers
The only reference to it was sneer-
ing comments to the effect that
such efforts to Wean the German
people away from their leader
would not succeed.
The British labor council is or
the right track, though its message
may not be Immediately effective
For the root of the evils of interna-
tional affairs is not yet touched
Even If some temporary compro.
mise averts the menace of Danzig
we must dig deeper.

League of Nations existed then, blu
what chance was there for rea

SO 1t is now as it was in 1914
The major blame for war will res

But not all blame. The blame fo

No business whose employees ir-

against competition. Once upon a
time. the railroads didn't have any
competition. They could say the
public is damned; and the public
had to take it. But the man who
invented the gasoline engine, and
the Wright Brothers down at Kitty
Hawk, North Carolina, changed all
that. With airplanes, buses, trucks,
private cars to draw on, the rails
have lot of competition these
days: but some of their employees
haven't realized it yet, and con-
tinue to irritate the customers VINO
are spending money with them.

running the New Haven Railroad

Yet for the life Of me, can't under
stand why they spend thousands Oh
dollars in advertising to attract
customers and apparently spend
little or nothing to train their en-
ployes in the fine art of handling
people.
How could this railroad improve
its human relations? There is just
one way: They could conduct classes
in this subject and only those who
have demonstrated their skill by
repeated tests, should be permitted
to come in contact with the rail-
roads customers.

A SOLUTION OF THE
MIGRANT PROBLEM
Pacific Rural Press

VI dClllC huidl liSSS1
1t is time for the community leaders
of this state to frankly face the problem
of the migrant.
1t does no good to say: Let Uncle Sam
do something-it is mis- problem
Uncle Sam is not doing anything of
Importance toward the real solution
putting the migrant on the land
Nor is the state.
And until the dustbowl farmers with
their passion for land, have a home of
their own, they will be tinder for the
trouble-making agitators and wailing
wall for the Steinbecks and the McWil-
liamSeS.
And all of California suffers.
The practical solution was embodied
in the words of an Oklahoma migrant,
quoted in these columns last week. Com
menting on a meeting where COMMUNISTS
were haranguing a group of migrants
this casualty of the DuStbowl sagely re-
marked:
you could empty this hall in a minute
if some one would say, Come with me:
I'll show you how to get piece OF land.
California has surplus land, surplus
capital. and surplus migrants.
How can these be put together?
Community conferences could find
ways.
The goal which community conlferes
would have in mind would be small larils
where migrant families could nave d noiiie
having out gradually, raising some Oh
their food. and be available for seasoiiai
labor jobs.
This is plan frequently recommehoeu
by students of the problem
Community leaders, earnestly, serious
" facing the problem Will flhd many
aids to accomplishment.
Those with surplus land may we'll be
asked to make small farms aVallaole OIL
long-term sales.
Local capital could be mobilized.
And lot of local service can be en-
listed
AT MADEIRA, Harrison Scott, county well
fare and SRA director has helped SET
up an amazing project along this line.
The county supervisors bought 40 acres
of land. Scott got people on relief to DO
nate labor toward building some oO nous
es on the tract. Some of them felt 1t an
adventure to go up into the mountains
and split shakes for the roofs. Others
helped make and lay adobe bricks at the
sites of the cabins. When completed
there will be so homes for workers, with
bits of land for a garden and flowers
chickens, rabbits, etc.
This shows what can be done.
The old fashioned plan of neghbors
getting together for house raising might
we'll be adapted and something preciou:
in community spirit might be born, along
With the job of community building.
The ideal thing is not one big colony
of small farms in a community, but
number of these where the owners OF
these little places can be a part of th'
whole community and its life.
Not RECOMMENDATION, but ABSORPTION int
citizenship is the goal.
A good many people have reacted ia
vorably to this idea of communltle
tackling the migrant problem.
How about you and your community
Can't you help start something?
California did not invite these dust
dispossessed farmers. But they are here
They are mostly foundation America
stock. Most of them want land-a home
They will be a severe problem unit
