BERLIN, Feb. 15.-Adolph Hitler has taken action to give the Reich a canal from the Baltic to the North Sea, wider than the Panama or Suez and this by the time the largest battleship the Bismarck, will be in commission two years hence.
 Hitler's decision to have the Kiel Canal widened ito make it possible for traffic for the largest type Of ships" is seconded by a sweeping decree of Field Marshal Goering, director of a four-year plan, where by every German inhabitant can be commandeered for any job deemed necessary by the nation.

MUCH IS REMEMBERED
FROM THE LAST WAR
(Wall Street JournaD

1t now appears likely that the fami-
liar dictum that we learn nothing from
history except that history teaching us
nothing is TO be discredited in respect to
the American reaction to Europe's war.
First, we will have no part in the hos
tilities, remembering too much of 1917,
1918 the peace" of 1919 and what came
after.
Second, we are prudently awaiting the
naturalization of war orders from
abroad, instead of mistaking joyful an
ticipation for reality-remembering too
much of 1915, 1916 and their painful Sc
quel in 1920.
Third, we are on guard as never be-
fore against the doctrinaireS who would
persuade us to their belief that war can
end war, that the machine-gunper can
be the missionary of freedom democracy
civilization. We remember too much
about Versailles, Locarno, Geneva, Mu-
Mich, Warsaw and what is now coming
after.
If this war had opened few years lat
er it might we'll have affected us differ
emily Today, too many men are still
in prime middle life who took part in a
bright and hopeless adventure to remold
the sorry scheme of things nearer hearts
desire. Too many others rode the war
and postwar booms to their final un-
doing.
Nor are we alone in fresh recollection
of the past % years. The peoples en-
gagged in this war had from the day of
its outbreak a grim realization of what
war is, such as then came to them only
after months and even years of bitter
experience Their leaders today seem to
have more acute sense Of responsibility
for human life and human misery than
the captains of quarter century ago
this may be said even of those tortured
souls who tell their followers that war is
mans natural destiny, since they do not
hasten to practice fully the ruthlessness
they so constantly threaten.
1t would not become us, as safe in our
manpower, resources and geographic iso-
laton as a nation can be, to boast of
superior capacity to learn what history
has to teach. But we can reflect that our
distance from the European scheme has
enabled us to understand the part we
can now play in the world to the worlds
advantage and our own.

FIRST AID TRAINING

One of the greatest Developments in
modern education has been the trend
toward physical as well as mental devel-
opment of youngsters. "a strong mind
in strong body" is an admirable goal.
Yet firemen, life guards and other
guardians of public health and property
throughout the nation have found a sad
lack among people of all classes of first
aid and resuscitation methods in emer-
gency cases The next step, then, should
be thorough training in first aid along
with all gym classes at grammar and
high schools, it seems.

THE BEST WAY TO BRING
PROHIBITION BACK AGAIN

All the W.C.I.U. campaigns IN the
world cannot come as close to returning
prohibition to American statute books as
can few more cases such as that cur
rently occupying the headlines in Los
Angeles.
Regardless whether William G. Bon
ELI was indicted for cause after inquiry
into an asserted $l0000,000 annual IL
quor license payoff, or whether he is
correct in saying the investigation was
framed up by big liquor interests whose
greed he has opposed serving on the state
board of equalization, the result is the
same.
In other words, if Bonelli is guilty, he
has dealt severe blow to those who
oppose prohibition. If the charge against
him is a trumped up one, those who franz
ed it have aided the prohibitionistS. The
result is the same whoever is at fault.
The only way the liquor industry and
all connected with it can keep prohibi
tionists from making strong gains is by
rigid self regulation. When graft, dirty
politics and greed enter the picture, the
industry is hurting itself far more than
any outsider can hurt It.
1t is automatic that graft goes hand
in hand with liquor management If pro-
hibition is not to play return engage
ment in this country, the liquor industry
itself will have to prove the axiom. No
body else can do it.
If private industry fails - and such
scandals as that now unraveling in Los
Angeles are not sign of SUGGESTIVE
ALTERNATIVES remain in liquor manufac-
ture, distribution and sale. One is abso-
Lutte prohibition, the other is government
management such as is practiced in Can
ada.
Those responsible for conduct of the
liquor industry, and those responsible
for enforcing laws relating to it, should
remember that nobody can hurt their bus
mess or their laws as much as them
selves.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-11-12
POLITICS AGAIN

Politics was adjourned at the special
session of congress designed to pass
neutrality legislation. The reverse will
be true when congress meets in special
session less than two months from now.
New Dealers will be out to boost New
Deal stock, telling the country that it is
dangerous to change leaders at time
of international crisis Old-line Demo-
Gratis will be out to keep the power with
in their party, but wrest it from the
leftist New Dealers. Republicans will
be out to get scalps from both of them.
All of this will be for the best, in all
probability 1t is time Americans took
their eyes off Of Europe long enough to
find out what has been going on at home
while they were looking elsewhere-and
congress probably will see to it that the
home talent gets lis place in the spot
light
