Britain Wishes
 Pledge Greece and Turkey in Entente

UNDATED, April 12 fP) The British government undertook new efforts to protect the Med. iterranean trade routes and em- pire possessions in the Orient, The general appearance of a war like tension throughout the world, especially since the Ital- an conquest of Albania, spurred the British to action. London informants said Cham berlain would announce in the House of Commons tomorrow that Britain would consider 1t as an "unfriendly act" if any az, gression is made against Greece or Turkey.
 The French government dec.d- ed that Daladier will also make 8 declaration of Frances position tomorrow, almost at the same time that Chamberlain is expect ed to be speaking in London. Tn Paris, the cabinet gave final for nal approval of drastic decrees strengthening the national de- fense decress already being put in operation.
 In London, it is expected that Britain will reserve the right to decide what constitutes aggres. sion, the decision, which in the case of the pledge to fight for Polish independence, would be left to Poland, London informants said the reason for the reserva. ton was that Chamberlain hoped that Italy would guarantee, that having taken Albania, the Med. iterranean status quo would be kept.
 The Italian government yester- day sent a note of assurance to Greece.
 Britain hoped to make a pledge with Greece and Turkey on the basis of a wider Balkan alliance be brought into the British, French and Polish entente.

Germany Warns Greece Keep Out Of Alliances

UNDATED, April II (P - Greece is the focal point of world concern on the possibilit- ies of war and the chances for peace. France and Great Britain feared that partnership be- tween Berlin and Rome might direct the expansion drive to- ward Greece, now that Italian troops have invaded Albania.
 Athens newspapers, however, announced that the Italian gov ernment gave Greece catagoric assurances" to respect the integ 1'ity eff Greece, including the Ad- giatic island of Corfu.
 The Fascist press charged Brit ain and France had made new plans 10 encircle the axis pow CTS. reporting that the British themselves might fortify Corfu.
 The German controlled press advised. Greece and Yugoslavia that they would be in danger ''only if they let themselves be misused." This was seen as a waraing to stay out of the Brit jsh and French sponsored defen- siVe anti-aggression alliance.

A FEW FACTS REFUTE
SECRETARY ICKES

A recent attack by Secretary of In
terror Harold l.. lckes against newSpa-
pers in general, intended to give the i'm
preston that newspapers in this country
do not enjoy freedom, probably will be
repeated, since it is one of the secretary's
favorite subjects. Therefore it might
be well to study what Mr.. Ickes said as
against what painstaking research prov
ed to be true.
There is not room here to list all of
Mr.. Ickes misrepresentation This, how
ever, is typical of all:
Said Mr.. Ickes, in indicting the news
papers of modern America: There was
a chauffeur serving a department store
in Boston, driving across Copley square
He jumped a ditch and decapitated two
men. The story of that extraordinarily
sensational incident didn't appear in
any Boston newspaper except the Boston
Transcript. Now, don't jump TO conclu-
sions; the Boston Transcript carried no
advertising of that particular depart
ment store
Those were Mr. Ickes words Now, the
facts as unearthed in Boston: The acci-
dent happened April 27, 1912-nearly
27 years ago. A complete, first page
report of the accident was carried in the
Boston Herald the same day, and in the
Boston Evening Herald and Traveller,
also on the same day. 1t was reported
in morning and evening editions of the
Boston Daily Globe and Sunday Globe
Full details were published in the April
28, 1912, edition of the Boston Post, and
also on April % in the Sunday Herald
Various newspapers outside of Boston
also carried the story.
From these authenticated facts, it APP
pears that the secretary of interior in
his zeal to discredit anti-Ncw Deal news
papers does not pay particular attention
TO veracity.
A reporter would be fired for the same
Offensc.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-02-09

In the furore about sale of mill
tary airplaneS 10 France, one thing
stands out quite clearly.
The American people are entitled
to know what is going on.
If there is one thing that stands
contrary TO every American prin-
ciple, it is to have any arrange
mentS or understandings with any
country which the people do not
know about
It is all very we'll to protect mill
tary secrets by closed hearings and
unrecorded testimony. But it is
quite another to have discussions
of foreign policy itself in secret.
Can it be true, as reported, that
the president pledged the military
affairs committee TO secrecy III a
recent hearing lest details of the
policy involved frighten the pub
lie? This is scarcely credible.
What kind of policy is it that
would ''frighten the public?' Isn't
it the same public which in case
of war would be asked to wage it
unfrightened? Isn't the public made
up largely of the same people who
would in war be drafted into the
army and asked to face an enemy
unfrightened? Isn't the public the
same one which might be asked to
hide underground at the alarm OF
air attack, unfrightened?
The American public is not so
easily frightened. 1t is entitled to
know the facts of life.
1t has not forgotten, for instance,
how the diplomacy of Sir Edward
Grey had the British in box when
the World War broke out Grey left
them no choice whatever but to
enter the war. There was no formal
military alliance with France. But
close cooperation between the gen.
eral staffs, military and naval, and
many conversations" between civil
ian leaders, had made the two
countries inter dependent and
closely linked. When war came, the
British people had no genuine free
choice.

WHEN REFlNANCING COMES,
DRAINAGE CANNOT LAG

Hand i'm hand with Imperial Irrigation
District refinancing must 90 adequate
farm land drainage, for one without the
other is worthless Now that refinancing
is in sight, il is time To devote detailed
study to system of drainage which will
best serve the district
Drainage is rightly No. , on Imperial
Valleys must" list for 1889 1t can
not lag far behind refinancing if efforts
10 bring success in refinancing are to win.
There will be more to drainage than
merely providing funds for the work.
There will be the necessity for detailed
surveys of land conditions. There must
be knowledge of where drainage is most
urgently needed, and there must be fore
thought to prevent the loss of lands now
seemingly in good shape.
Above all. preparations for an ade-
quate system must include an education
al campaign through farm bureau
groups, irrigation district agencies and
directly TO farmers to show them the
necessity for private cooperation in the
public program. The district can go on
endlessly constructing a main drainage
system, but unless the individual farms
are tied up to it, the skeleton system may
become of little practical value.
Once given the assurance that funds
will be available for drainage this year,
the irrigation district must begin to lay
detailed plans for its system, and at the
same time farmers as individuals should
be told how best they may take advan-
tage of the drainage outlets.
There are million and one details to
be taken care of before drainage can
give full service to valley agriculture. 1t

In his press conference last Fri
day. President Roosevelt entered
vigorous reputation of press re-
ports that he had said in closed
conference with members OF the
senate military affairs committee
that our frontiers" were in Eu-
rope.
This paper fully accepts that
denial. Indeed, we will go even
further and state that whether
or not the president mentioned
frontiers is of little more impor-
tance than the question of who
gave a French military observer the
right to be in one of the United
States military airplaneS which
was being tested
Let not matters of foolish con-
troversy obscure the main point,
which is this:
Has the Washington government
pursued that policy of aloofness N

it by long tradition before the
World War and more firmly es-
tablished since 1918 through re-
peated decisions of the people and
their elected representatives IN
