Fiesta An Annual Event

WHAT community can do by pulling together was
W never better demonstrated than by the very sue
cessful fiesta being held here this week.
The success Of La Fiesta Mexicana is due to coop
Grafton. Men women and children-citzens in gen
eral-got behind the project and it's being put over
with a bang affording entertainment for our clt1-
zens and many visitors and publcizing Nogales as
wide-awake city
One Of the main items in the Nogales lnternatlon-
as civic program since the first fiesta was held mere
in 1886 was to try to make it an annual affair." NOW
that it has been held four consecutive years we be-
lieve it has been established permanent yearly
event We certainly hope for it means lot to the
conmunitv It's something to look forward to each
year. increased patronage for business houses ana
entertainment for every man, woman and child
Nogales has natural setting for fiesta partlcu-
lary the type of La Fiesta Mexicana since this city
is located on the Mexican border.
This years fiesta is unlike those Of 1886, 1881 and
1888. Those were "days of 49, whisker shows. Any
community can stage 40 show but only those locat-
ed on the Mexican border can really put on MeXl-
can fiesta.
Nogales is now listed among the communities
holding annual celebrations and let all strive to
make the fiesta bigger and better each year.
New Orleans has it's annual mardl gras, PRESCOTT
its Fourth of July Frontier Days. Pasadena It's
tournament of roses, Flagstaff its Indian Pow Vow
Tucson it's rodeo and NOGALES IT'S LA FIESTA
MEXICANA.
The community is grateful to Director Herb King
and wife, citizens in general, the Chamber OF Com
merce and all other organizations for Joining hands
in making the 1889 fiesta memorable event and
through their cooperation keeping the fiesta alive
another year.

were obeyed. She added that she
did not know what the remedy was
for the high price of milk in the
District, but favored the most feas-
ible course.

BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, June 13.-Alf M. Lam
don, unsuccessful Republican nomi-
nee in the last presidential election,
predicted today President Roosevelt
would decline to become a candidate
for a third term.
At the same time, in a speech pre-
pared for delivery before the Busi-
ness and Professional Womens Re-
publican Club of Massachusetts, the
former Kansas Governor sharply
criticized New Deal economics and
those who urge the President to run
again in ,1940.
1--WE are in the sixth year of ex-
traordinary Government spending
to-save policy" Mr.. Landon assert
ed, yet encouragement and chronic
unemployment are increasing This,
indeed, is the Roosevelt depression
The citizens who are proposing
and urging a third term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be marked by
the future historian as bringing dis
aster to the Republic If they succeed
in their unworthy ends.
Sees Roosevelt Refusal.
But there are enough Americans
whose hearts are sound to stop
them. Here. indeed, the Republic
has rendezvous with destiny.
However, I don't believe any man
with the eXaltation and the sense
of public service and patriotism that
comes from the high Office of the
presidency will accede to such de-
mandS. -----.--
The President. worthy of the
trust reposed IN him by his fellow
citizens, will disdain this sugges-
ton made to him by meaner souls. !"
Mr. Landon said the question
which party wins the next elec-
ton "is not. as important as the
type of craftsmanship we may ex-
pect from the next President"
The fantastic financial theories
of the New Deal which have proven
a failure in achieving recovery must
not be permitted to remain un-
checked or to become a permanent
part of our national life. We must
get a foundati ton for sound recov-
cry and getting our people back to
work.

Spokesman Of Banks
Opposes Bill 10 Insure
Small Business Loans
All Applications Not
Dubious Are Successful
Now, He Asserts
By the Associated Press.

oS tue ASeOCl&Leu IIeSS.
A spokesman for banks in the
Federal Reserve System bluntly op-
posed today proposal to aid small
business by Government insurance
of bank loans.
Such a plan, said Edward E.
Brown, president OF the First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, would re
tard the expansion of sound busi-
ness" Testifying before a Senate
Banking Subcommittee, he declared
he spoke for the Federal Reserve
Advisory Council, composed of a
representative from each Federal
Reserve district.
Virtually no small business or
medium sized business which is en-
titled to short or long term credit
Is unable to get it," Mr.. Brown said.
Under questioning of Senator
Frazier, Republican, of North Dakota
the bank head said there were plenty
OF demands for loans that were not
met, but added. mo prudent man
would make them because of doubt
as to repayment"
Two Others Testify.
Mr.. Brown was one of three men,
oers OF the Advisory Council who
asked to testify on a bill by Senator
Mead, Democrat, of New York, which
would have the reconstruction
Finance Corp. insure 80 per cent of
bank loans to small business and
industry.
The others were Walter w. Smith
president Of the First National Bank
OF st. Louis, and Howard Loeb
chairman of the Tradesmen National
Bank and Trust Co. Of PHILADELPHIA
Mr.. Brown testified that credit
needs Of business now were met by
banks, insurance companies and the
R. F. c.. The Mead bill, he said,
would make possible Government
insurance of loans where repay
ment was not reasonably reassured.
Prop to Inefficiency Seen.
This" the Chicago banker said
enables inefficient and poorly man
aged business to compete for a time
ana retard the expansion OF sound
business"
Mr.. Brown disputed earlier testi-
mony before the subcommittee that
a large demand for credit by small
business was unsatisfied. saying it
considered it consisted of opinions
unsupported by data"
He urged careful investigation
Of credit needs Of small business
before any attempt to enact legis-
lation.
Chairman Wagner, advocate Of
providing small business with addi-
tional credit, asked Mr.. Brown
whether his bank refused many
small business loan requests.
Il would estimate the rejection at
less than per cent" the banker
replied.

that number of the smaller dairies
