return of Danzig and a German
right of way across the Polish cor

right of self determination.
Danzig is 90 per cent German
and the result Of a plebiscite would
be a foregone conclusion.
The statement to the press de-
clared that the population of DAN
zig must have a voice in deciding
the free states future.
It was reported that the Danzig
leaders, Albert Forester and Ar
thur Greiser. were in conference
with Fuehrer Adolf Hitler at his
Bayarian mountain retreat today.
Nazis denied the report.
The press statement said Poland
cannot claim influence over Dan

effective before 1910, officials said.
Wallace recommended a nine
point program providing for:
l. Insurance to cover cotton
losses due to unavoidable causes
such as drought. flood hail, frost,
tornado, storm, excessive or defi-
cient moisture, insect damage and
plant disease.
2. Insurance TO cover all cotton
grown on the farm and not the
crop from specified acreage only.
3. Amount of insurance per acre
to be based on a percentage of the
actual or appraised average yield
per acre during a representative
period. Growers would be permitted
to insure either for so or rs per
cent of their average yield.
4. A separate premium rate per
acre to be fixed for each farm based
on the average loss experience OF
the farm and the loss experience
for the county
5. The amount of premiums and
the amount of indemnitieS for crop
losses to be determined in pounds
of lint cotton. Payment would be
made in either cotton or its cash
equivalent, ordinarily at the option
of the farmer.
6. Insurance reserves built up out
of premiums to be held in cotton.
Cotton held in the reserve would
be sold only to pay indemnities for
crop losses or to prevent damage to
the cotton.
7. Local administration of the
program to be entrusted largely to
the county and local committees
established by the department Of
agriculture in cooperation with
state agencies for the administra-
ton OF the AAA program.
8. The cotton crop insurance
program to be coordinated with
other programs administered by the
department.
8. Insurance policies to be writ
ten on an annual basis at least
during the first two years.

Valley Needs No Artificial Boost,
Publisher Tells Rotary Club Here

No one can study the agricultural
and economic foundation of Impe-
rial Valley without being deeply
convinced of its security and sound
ness and future progress.
That was the theme of a talk
made before the Ell Centre Rotary
club Thursday noon by Paul Jen-
kins, publisher of the Press and
Post, in connection with showing
of the Post-Press motion picture
Life in Imperial Valley.

all parts of the valley" he de-
clared, have every sound reason
for being proud of the community
confident of its future, and boast
ing of it far and wide"

of assets he said.
Certainly We have our problems, ="
he said, but they are not one
whit more serious than the prob
lens of any other community
Other parts of this country are
solving theirs, and taken broad and
large, Imperial Valley is solving
hers in a maSterful manner.
I'VE don't need an artificial, i'm
imitation confidence or boosting at

I'VE don't want an artificial con-
fidence,' he said, and don't need
it, because basic facts warrant the
most intensive boosting attitude
that any part of California could
desire. We have sound reasoning
upon which to base optimism in
Imperial Valley, and examination
of fundamentals will prove it."
The motion picture which is in
colors, shows many of the economic
factors of the valley "in action"
President J. E. Brock, following

"the most worthwhile educational
effort to sell the valley, that

BECK: 1t is stili a case of one

ment of the Reich seems to be de-
manding OF us. A self respecting
nation does not make one sided
concessions. Where is the reci-
procity? 1t looks rather vague in
the German proposals.
HITLER: I consider the Ger

BECK: There is NO need to
mourn the pact. The Reich gov

man memorandum has made its
decision on the grounds of press
reports without consulting the views
Of either the British or Polish gov
ernments as to the character of the
agreement concluded It is clear
that Hitler acted merely because
such an agreement was concluded.
The Reich interpreted the treaty
as pretext for isolating Poland
and making normal, friendly COL

impossible. We would always have
rejected such Interpretation our
selves.

denounced non aggression treaty
