MEMBER
THE ONE LESSON
IN HITLER'S REPLY

If the United States learns nothing
else from Hitler's reply to President
Roosevelfs plea for world peace, II
should learn to mind its own business.
When the President voiced his appeal
not one out of hundred diplomats be-
lieved il would receive an encouraging
answer Even the average man ON the
street-as little of an international OBJ
server as he is-knew what the answer
would be. Roosevelt himself must have
known.
Therefore it surprised nobody when
Hitler told Roosevelt to mind his own
business. rallied at the President Tor falI-
ing to solve his own internal problems
in his own country, reiterated ms deter
mination to establish German supre-
macy i'm Central Europe, and blamed
international tension on the democracieS.
Since nobody expected anything eX-
cent what happened, why did Uncle Sam
stick his neck out in the first place!
Was it a forlorn hope that some miracle
would transform Hitler from an inter
national bully into meek paclflst-or
was it a studied effort to further dis
credit the dctators in the eyes of the
world?
There might be an excuse for the Tor
mer. There could be no excuse for the
latter.
Pushing aside for the moment the pre-
iudice that most Americans hold against
Hitler and Hitlerized Germany, it is hard
to blame the Fuehrer for his attitude
toward Roosevelt's plea. In the back OF
his mind must have been the numerous
times Roosevelt and his lieutenants have
labeled Germany an outlaw nation, and
worse.
Roosevelt, posing as an impartial med
iator in urging Germany to live at peace
with her European neighbors, placed
himself in the position of a small boy
who, after throwing big black balls of
mud at another small boy who is engaged
in a heated argument with his brother,
suddenly assumes an innocent express
sion and urges his target to make peace
i'm the family.
When this country stops throwing
mud, its usefulness as q mediator may
return. If we keep on throwing mud,
we're liable to get face full of it in
return one Of these days.
About one thing Hitler was absolutely
right. We've got enough problems at
home without going elsewhere to look
for others.

SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER
INVITATION TO MIGRANTS
{ MADEIRA Tribune)

Proposal of the state division Of im-
migration and housing to erect several
thousand low cost housing units to care
for the migratory families in California.
from one point of view, is an excellent
idea, but on thought it sounds like an
other of the several invitations Califor-
MIA has issued TO this class of people to
come west TO enjoy what California will
do for those who are not enjoying quite
so liberal doles in their own StateS-the
major problem for the state, one that
it has been unable to solve. To bring
another flock Of these humans westward
will not ease the burden. The relief load,
as a result of the influx of these people,
has caused California to make an appeal
to Washington for federal relief. If the
burden is added to the congressional
leaders may look on the situation as one
the state has brought on itself and
should similarly find an answer.
Those in power at the present time
may see an immense political opportu-
nifty in adding TO the states population
from the INDECENT class. 1t will add to
the voting strength of those who are
interested only in the total ballot at cleo
ti0n time. What it costs the taxpayer
what it means in removing taxpayers, is
of little importance to this group of poll
icians. Lacking in breadth of vision they
do not consider what will happen should
the great ajority be forced on the dole.
But to the taxpayer there is a far differ
ent story. Sooner or later he is going to
demand consideration and when that
time arrives there will be an upset. The
longer the time or reply is delayed. the
greater will be the difficulty.

zONING ORDINANCE
IMPORTANT TO CITY

Nothing is so important to the orderly,
attractive growth of a modern city as an
adequate ZOning ordinance, fully en-
forced. El Centre has such an ordinance,
backed up by Zoning commission which
has proved itself worthy of complete
trust. Both ordinance and commission
should receive the support they so rich
ly deserve.
Two recent cases, one dealing with
garage in a residence section which
neighbors said was used for business
purposes, and one dealing with an ap
plication for a non-conforming permit
to operate another business in a resi-
dence section, have focused public at
tention on the Zoning ordinance.
The people should remember that one
exception leads to another, until soon
the rule is overridden. They should re-
member that, without a zoning ordi-
nance, any manner of factory junk yard
or other business could be established
on the lot next door TO their home. Re-
membering these things, they should Of
fer complete cooperation in observing
and enforcing the city's zoning ordi-
nance.

Given bare breathing space be
tween European crises, American
business seems in a fair way to get
on its feet.
Reports for the first quarter
show definitely that money Is be-
ing made. business volume Is bet
ter than in 1898.
Here are flock Of first-quarter
business reports noted more or
less at random from the pages OF
financial journals and corpora
tion reports:
Detail sales of new cars and
trucks in the first 10 days Of April
are 46 per cent ahead of the same
period of 1888 the first quarter
is So per cent ahead A big trac-
tor company reports 100000 more
profit from the first quarter OF
1899 than in 1898 A nationwide
building supply house made $l25,-
900 in the first quarter against a
loss of a quarter million in 1898
the first four railroads to re-
port indicate a big improvement
in traffic in March as compared
to January and February the
auto tire companies unanimously
report more sales than last year
and one big one which took q big
loss in 1888 is out of the red for
the first quarter Of 1889 the
biggest electrical equipment firm
reports orders per cent over 1898,
and made correspondingly more
Imperial Valley press., 1939-04-30

money Air line travel is 25 per
cent above that of 1885 first quar-
ter.
In fact, the aggregate profits OF
the first GO industrial companies
reporting for the first quarter OF
1899 show combined net income
of Sal, ,799, ,456 as compared with
$29 ,931 in 1898, an advance of
almost 40 per cent.
The motor industry led the way
up out of the depression OF 1888;
today it leads again, and waits only
for followers. American Telephone
for instance has said it will spend
$500, 100000 on new plants. The
Glass | railroads have this year
put in service almost 1000 more
new freight cars than last year.
Gradually the thought is dawning
in the United States: the European
crisis Is a chronic crisis. You might
almost say that Europe is now
governed by crises.
The whole world can't simply sit
back and hold its breath just be-
cause Europe is having a crisis.
Life has to go on, and business has
to go on, crisis or no crisis.
American business is, We believe,
gradually realizing this, and is
preparing to dig in and scratch
once again.
Nobody any longer expects a
phenomenal boom this year. But
every sign now points to a gradual
upgrade that will mark subStan-
tial progress beyond the late but
not much lamented 1898.

Lindy's Shyness
Headache TO U.S..
Nv CHARLES p. STEWART

Colonel Lindbergh is a deep grief
to the army air corps and to every
one else interested in military and
naval aviation. Not that they don't
believe that he will give the gov
eminent a wealth of valuable ad-
vice concerning the development
and upkeep of Uncle Sans fly
ing equipment and personnel. the
trouble with him is that he has
such a passion for anonymity. II
he would Re could SO popularize
skymanship that there'd be no
controlling the public demand for
force of American fighting planes
about twice the strength of the
combined potencies of all the rest
Of the worlds powers. Appropria-
tions would go through Congress
a-kiting But he is a punk ad-
vertiserl Compared with him, j.
P Morgan, the Pope, the King OF
England, the Mikado and others
are readily accessible to news
papermen.
When he landed in New York
from Europe, reporters couldn't. so
much as see him; cameramen had
trouble photographing him. Even
aboard ship, crossing the Atlantic,
he'd been a mystery
Ducks the Cameras
Following his arrival in WASH
ington officials wouldn't admit
that he was in the capital. 1t fl
nally was ascertained that he had
reported to General Arnold of the
army air corps. How he did so,
without being caught at it, is
puzzle. Scribes and cameramen
thought they had watched that
building unescapably, until sudden
ly they discovered that the colonel
already had visited the generals
office and was inteIned in quar-
tiers across the corridor, in the
Munitions Building, with his door
locked-and nobody answering the
kicks and yells at it, Nobody an
sWering telephone calls. either. And
no information from collateral
sources.
Colonel Lindbergh isn't the first
celebrity who has been a shrinking
violet. Nevertheless, he's the first
one TO be so successful with his
shrinking.
Colonel Lindbergh's anti-publicity
complex may fairly be presumed to
be in part due to the terrible trag-
edy of the Hauptmann kidnapping
Still, he was anti-publicity be-
fore that.
Right after his return from his
initial transatlantic flight, before
his marriage, he didn't like news
papermen or photographers. Jour
nalists always found him crabby.
Dad Was Different
1t was queer, too. His father the
late Congressman Charles A. Lind
bergh, Sr., recognized the utility OF
the limelight. He was a somewhat
radical legislator eho saw the
advantages of his kind of publicity
and made the most Of it. TCday's
Charley seems to hate it-and did
before his sons kidnapping. which
was enough to have blighted any
mans life.
Be all that as it may-Lindy
could be a perfectly wonderful ad-
vertiser for American aviation (civ-
il and military if he'd lend him
self to it,
But he could beat it a thousand
miles if he'd take the aggressive

If he would, he'd have a good
bit of world influence as a weight
between peace and war.
