THE STATE OWES SOMETHING
TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

California has spent thousands Of dol
lars to bring about construction of the
Central Valleys water project, and goes
on spending more money to improve con-
ditions there. Until now California, as
a state, has done nothing about reclaim
alton in southern California except to
create a non-salaried Colorado River
board, of which Evan T. Hewes, Impe-
rial Irrigation District president, is
chairman.
The never-endng battle over Colorado
river water rights has been carried on
by several large districts in southern
California, financed from their own
treasures. Thus the people of this area
have borne a double burden: through
state taxes they have helped finance the
Central Valleys project, and from their
own pockets they have financed the
struggle to assure their own rights to
a fair share of Colorado river water.
1t seems only just that the people as
whole, if they are to support one re-
clamation project, should support an
other. Thus, if they are to support the
Central Valleys project, they should
support southern California in its stud
les of Colorado river water rights.
The complaint is against discrmina-
ton, not against lack of money from
the state. If the state does not want to
help southern California in this matter
of Colorado river water, it should not
help the central valleys in their effort
to bring about preferential status for
themselves
We believe Imperial Valley is just as
necessary to southern California as the
central valleys are to northern Califor-
nia-and we believe it should receive
equal treatment

a MESSAGE EVERYONE
SHOULD READ AGAIN

The legislature of an eastern state,
having created medal for heroism,
this week selected as the first man to
be honored with it the aging veteran who
many years ago carried a message thru
the Cuban wilderness to rebel general
named Garcia, a message upon which
hinged a great deal of strategy IN the
Spanish war
In itself this is little more than
paragraph in the news. In the spotlight
il throws once again on that Message
to Garcia" il is worth more than pass
ing thought.
The soldiers achievement might have
passed unnoticed in those old war days
but for an immortal story woven about
it by Ebert Hubbard, a story epic III
its treatment of courageous persever-
ance 1t is that story, the Message to
Garcia" that every American ought to
read today, or re-read as the case may
be.
The federal administration could do
much worse than require that every re-
lief recipient must read the Message to
Garcia" Schools could find many worse
subjects to place on their must lists for
reading.
The story of obstacles surmounted,
jungles penetrated, rivers crossed,
blockades defeated has a parallel in
the life of almost every successful man.
1t should serve as an inspiration to
those who seek success, for it makes
the point that, where character and in
genuity are combined in an answering
drive toward an ideal, nothing can bar
progress.
To those who grumble about unpleas-
ant tasks and those who complain of
odious responsibilities, the Message to
Garcia" stands as an ever-present re-
minder that there are brambes along
the road to any worthwhile accomplish
ment. Gold medals are not easily won.

With the military phases Of the
Spanish war largely over new
struggle begins.
First. the Franco regime must re-
store internal order and must make
some kind of concessions that will
get for il at least the passive, if
not the active, support of a ma
jority of the Spanish people. Other
wise it can not govern.
The Spanish are a fiercely-proud
and independent people, and it is
highly unlikely that Franco can
impose on it any such iron-Shod
discipline as that to which Germans
and Italians submit. Probably in
order to get any sort of co-opera-
ton at all from what has been
Republican Spain, compromise
measures will have to be taken.
Second, the struggle for influence
with the new Franco government
now begins in earnest.
The headlong rush of the British
and French to recognize the Franco
government, whether one agrees
with this policy or not, has clear
intent. 1t is this: if those coun-
tries refused to recognize Franco
and had no traffic with his govern
ment, he would turn exclusively &c
Germany and italy for the recon
struction and future help which
Spain now desperately needs under
any regime.
Wisely or not, the British ano
French have decided that with
Franco victorious in military way
their best bet to salvage something
from the Wrcckagc is to recognize
him. and by extending help, try tC
offset German and Italian influ-
encc in Spain.

gone up in both Germany and italy

Famous Sayings

WASHINGTON Attorney
General Murphy recently appoint
cd a committee to study the prac-
tices of quasi-judicial federal agen-
cies. he took the first step toward
clearing up one of the governments
major headaches.
These agencies are numerous, and
no two of them are alike. They
include such diverse organizations
as the National Labor Relations
Board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Federal Communi-
cations Commission and the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission.
They are organized differently
they function under different rules,
and the things you can do with
the rulings they hand down are dill
ferent.
All in all, they form a complex
and bewildering reason for the
acute dislike which the ordinary
citizen entertains toward the word
bureaucracy
Mr.. Murphy wants them stream
lined, and has named a committee
to find out what needs to be done
and how to do 1t. And thus he has
tackled a problem which has long
needed tackling but which nobody
has ever really grappled with be-
fore.
Among the things to be decided,
for instance, is the extent to which
the rulings of the NLiRB should be
renewable by the courts. AS things
are, the Labor Boards findings may
not be disturbed by the court un-
less evidence to support the find
ings is lacking. This has meant
that the Board has almost a l0C
per cent record of success, as fan
as judicial review of its rulings is
concerned.
Then there is the matter of the
relationship of a federal commits
sion to its own executive staff
which has currently been produc'
tive of much trouble in the Fedora
Communications Commission.
How to divide the commission
functions, how to decide which sub
division of the staff shall handl
which type of case and what com
missioner it shall be primarily re
sponsible to such questions a
these have plagued the commission
or a long time.
Mr.. Murphy wants light, plu
recommendations, on all of theS
matters. Thus equipped, the gov
ernment's various independen
