Voters Forge Own
SIavery--Hoover

every dictator in the world was
first elected by the people Hoover
said in explaining why a dozen or
more European democracies had
shifted to totalitarian states. During
his trip to Europe two years ago,
he said he learned that without
exception it was because the citizens
approved a dictatorship voluntarily
in an effort to end financial chaos,
unemployment and general in
security.
Never before in history is the
need SO great that the American
people use their reason and refuse
to be trapped by their emotions
into participating in another Euro
pean war the former president
said.
Turning to the mining industry,
Hoover recalled that it was near
Colfax so years ago that he found
fossil that was judged by scien-
lists to establish the geological age
Of the Mother Lode region.

the quick means of getting milk
to Los Angeles markets.
Los Angeles. he said, would like
a steady, reliable, and continuous
milk supply from one area ia order
to eliminate the necessity of hauling
milk from more distant areas. When
the milk is hauled through several
cities a high bid diverts the supply
from Los Angeles and the city
wakes up some morning to find
its milk went to some other city"

Fugitive Confers
With Parole Chief
While Cops Hunt

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 28. (UP)-
Carthan c. Loftin, an applicant for
executive clemency, will do well not
to show up at the capitol to find
out why he was denied a favorable
recommendation by the State Ad
visory Pardon board.
Last June, Loftin appealed to
Gov. Culbert Olson to release him
from probation - 1882 convic-
ton of grand theft in Los Angeles
county.
At that time he conferred with
Paul YarWood, secretary of the
pardon board, on details of his Gle
mency application. Later Yarwood
was astonished to learn from Los
Angeles authorities that Loftin is
a fugitive from justice for violation
of probation.
p In denying the application, the
board recommended that if Loftin
can be found he be held for the
Los Angeles sheriff'S office, which
holds a warrant for his arrest.

WOULD CHANGE SYSTEM

Editor, The Times: A salesman

clusively against the other car
instead of chiefly for his own,
and so would gardener who de-
voted all his time to pulling up
weeds without planting grass
and flowers in their place. Dark
ness must be replaced by light.
There is really no other way.
So all the time we talk ex-
clusively and eloquently against
fascism. without offering some
thing in its place, fascism itself
approaches with a quickening
pace. We must offset its appeal
to the discouraged masses by
