GENERAL WOOD GIVES HOPES;
 NEUTRAL U. 5.
Offers Surmise England and France May Not
 Be Trying"

Great Britain and France will have too difficult a time breaking the Siegfried Line of German de- fense The United States played sucker" in getting into the first World War, and it will be tragic mistake" to do such again.
 That was the frank opinion today of General Robert Wood, President of Sears Roebuck and Company, longtime Army man and Acting Quartermaster General during the World War.
 In Juneau today, Gen. Wood is on his way south to fill his position on the five-ban Emergency War Coun- cil, which he confesses he doesn't know anything about, but which he believes will be essentially the same in scope as the War Industries Board of the first World War.
 A short time ago, Gen. Wood and his companions, Colonel Wild Bill" Donovan, Russell Stearns and H. Wendell Endicott, were encamped in the wild country at the head of the Don Jek River, out of Burwash Landing.
 Receive War News
 News of the war they did not ex- pect to hear, came suddenly to them at night when an Indian runner came breathless into camp with re- layed telegrams.
 Tt was hard to believe" General Wood reflected today. Frankly, I hadn't expected war - but let us hope that we aren't played for suck CTS as we were in the last war.
 We spent millions of dollars. lost thousands of men, never got dime of money back, and we brought on our recent depression.
 Today we would commit a tragic mistake to go to Europe to fight. Our debt today is greater by far than it was when we first crossed the seas to fight. It brought us financial and moral troubles with out end. A similar action today would bring us correspondingly greater troubles"
 War Close to Alaska
 Speaking of Alaska, and citing the retarded progress of Western Can- ada brought on by the last war. Gen. Wood warned: You folks in Alaska are far removed from battle scenes today, but let war break out for the United States and your war

A PROFITABLE VICTORY
FOR IMPERIAL VALLEY

Imperial Valley cannot celebrate too
heartily the victory represented in an
Interstate Commerce Commission order
placing this area on a parity with the
Salt River valley in Arizona in the mat
ter of freight rates on perishable produce
shipped to eastern markets. The victory
means dollars and cents in the pockets
Of Imperial Valley farmers, since they
will no longer be forced to meet compe-
tition which has, at the beginning, a
10 per cent advantage.
BY virtue of the order, Imperial Val
ley will profit more than million dol
lars year. In any community, a million
dollars is a lot Of money. The organiza-
tions and individuals who made possible
the victory deserve all the credit in the
world.
The California Railroad Commission,
Spearhead of the attack. should receive
the thanks Of all Imperial Valley, as it
has already received the thanks of the
FL Centre chamber Of commerce. The
chamber of commerce itself, however, is
deserving of Just as much credit, for it
kept the freight rate case live issue.
pushed the fight to kill out the differen-
tial, and presented facts and arguments
which eventually brought victory Secre-
tary Robert Hays, in particular, won the
commendation of his community by his
efforts.
Not the least factor in the picture was
the Imseral county farm bureau, work
ing quietly behind the scenes through its
own and its state organization to achieve
the benefits which will be felt by all
farmers in the valley. Directors of the
farm bureau were largely instrumental,
along with others, in bringing about the
desired order
The Southern Pacific railroad, while
it could not take an active hand in the
matter, and had to appear as a bystander
interested only in the order as directed to-
ward itself, nevertheless showed com
mendable wisdom in its conduct toward
the campaign.
On the whole the freight rate victory
represents the fruits of community coop
Grafton and enterprise, demonstrating
forcefully the results that come from
such cooperation.
