COOPERATE TO PUT
VALLEYS HOUSE IN ORDER

Imperial Valley dairymen will never
win a permanent place in the Los An
gees market until they are able to guar
antee that they will fill orders received
from that market
A lot has been said in the valley dur
ing recent years about opening up the
metropolitan market to milk from here.
A steady. year-round payroll, an assur-
ed industry and a stabilized economy
could be achieved in the valley If the Los
Angeles market were steady recipient
of Imperial Valley milk. The dairy
industry here would receive the boost it
so badly needs if assurance could be
obtained that Los Angeles would order
its dairy products from the valley.
Imperial Valley is the nearest poten-
TALLY largest milk producer to the Los
Angeles market. Imperial Valley can
produce more cheaply than San Joaquin,
its greatest competitor. Imperial Val
ley's milk contains a greater percentage
of health giving elements, by scientific
test, than milk from any other part of
the state Stock prosperS here without
too much cost and with comparatively
little care.
Why, then, has the valley not become
the greatest bidder for the Los Angeles
market?
There may be several reasons, but one
strikes home.
1t is because Los Angeles distributors
have never been sure that Imperial Val
ley dairymen would fill a large order.
When the distributor needs 10000 gal
Ions of milk, he cannot take any chances
on getting only 5000 gallons. So he goes
to the producer who has proved that he
will fill the entire order, and not just
part of it.
Dairymen, like most farmers, are in
dividualists-but if they are to obtain
any profit from the lucrative Los An
geles market they must follow the exam
pie of their fellows in other areas, and
cooperate.
One producer cannot fill the Los An
geles orders. But many, banded togeth-
er, shipping from central depot, can
and should fill such orders.
If the Los Angeles market is to be
opened to Imperial Valley milk, the cam
paign to open it must begin in the valley,
not in Los Angeles. When we can guar
antee delivery, then it will be time to
offer our produce.

WHICH IS WEAKEST?

An American, used to American news
papers, would not be particularly star
tied if he saw in Berlin newspaper an
editorial stating the belief that Adolf
Hitler has overstepped his authority in
annexing Czechoslovakia. A German, on
the other hand. used to German news
papers, would find a constant cause for
surprise in the repeated criticisms by
many American newspapers of govern
mental leaders in the United States.
Yet if a Berlin editor voiced criticism
of Hitler, he would end in a concentra-
tion camp. By the same token, if an
American governmental official tried to
suppress criticism of himself by sup
pressing the editor who voices it, the
official would be the one to suffer, not
the editor.
DemocTacies, such as America, consid
er internal criticism a part of govern
ment. Dctatorships, such as Germany,
consider criticism treason. Therein lies
the strength of the democracies.
A government used to criticism can
not be killed by it. One which constantly
suppresses it eventually falls, because
it is humanity impossible to suppress all
human resentment.
A strong man can stand criticism, a
weak one cannot. Governments are little
different

THE TAXPAYER
lCalifornia Feature SerVIce)

(Calltornla Feature SefNlCe)
Spotlighted by flashes of startling
evidence, there is black cloud of rumor
spreading over the state to the effect
that radicals are taking advantage of the
California relief situation to force SKA
and WPA workers to join red-dominated
labor groups
At Long Beach, 40 union men struck
on a WPA building project because the
Subcontractor had refused to sign con-
tract requiring his men to take out union
cards-deSpite the fact that the two non
union men over whom the dispute arose.
an ornamental iron worker and helper,
were receiving the regular WPA scale
of S125 and IS cents an hour, reSpec-
lively.
Of conditions in Tulare county, the
Tulare Times" declares that 1.-The COM
munistic Workers Alliance, CIO and
other radical organizations have taken
almost complete control of the SRA,
WPA and other relief agencies and are
now waxing fat at the public trough at
taxpayers eXpense!'
And in Sacramento where he is spOkes-
man in the state tax load, which had
contributed to heavy casualties of mort
gage-ruin among farm and small-home
owners, William A. Pixley of the Proper
ty Owners Association of California
warns: "Attempts of radical labor czars
to line their pockets with dues from
relief funds voted to feed and shelter
unfortunates, and to organize them into
a self-perpetuating army employing the
strike as a weapon to dictate relief wages
and working conditions, are simply pre-
liminaries toward placing a relief-wOrk
picket on the porch of every California
home! When WPA workers RECEIVING
S1.25 an hour strike over a union mem
bership dispute, it is time to give the
whole program a going over-with the
welfare of the taxpayer in mind, in
stead of the demands of red organizers"
1t is high time, too, as discouraged bus
mess men and other tax victims have
long urged, to call general halt to ris-
ing taxation, for relief or anything else,
and to cut the bills by eliminating rack
eteering graft, chiseling, bureaucracy,
extravaganza and waste-all along the
entire front of governmental spending.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On
What Exactly, is All This to Us?

Germany is realistic. They are
thinking in terms of stark, ulti-
mate necessities. The United States
must learn TO think that way, too,
and not merely sway with every
"crisis" psychology. We feel, in
terms of morality, but the other
countries think, in cold terms Of
advantage.
The British belatedly cry Really
to save democracy" But is it de-
mocracy they wish to save, or Eng
land?
The French toss even their lib
erty ON the altar of democracy, and
cry "Seel Can you do leSs?" But
is it democracy they wish to save,
or France?
The Russians, recent converts to
the battle-cry of democracy, have
ardent partisans who would march
beside them at the drop of the
hat. But is it democracy they wish
TO save, or the Soviet Union?
Our Crusade of 1917-18 has yield
ed strange fruit, 20 years after
ward. Those who took part in it
will think twice, three times, be-
fore embarking on another. Even
those who do not remember it
can see before them the unfore-
seen results.
Perhaps Europe may in time en-
danger Americas self-interest, her
liberties her opportunity to live in
the world in the free manner she
loves. When that time comes our
will be affected SO
plainly that We will recognize it,
as European countries recognize
theirs.
But we owe it to ourselves to go
TO war another time only for such
reasons of self-interest,

Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON. - Perhaps the
best way to explain just what Am
erica's good neighbor" policy in
Latin America means is to describe
a few of the things which it does
not mean.
First of all, it does not mean that
the United States Is trying TO set
itself up as the boss of the Latin
republics.
AT Buenos Aires, in 1886 the 81
nations adopted a statement as
serting that the American nations
proclaimed their absolute juridical
equality and their unqualified re-
spect for their respective sovereign
ties-which, in plain English, means
that they agreed that all OF them
were equal at law and that each
nation was fully independent and
boss in its own house.
With this statement came a dec
laration that any act which dis
turbs the peace of the new world
concerns all new world nations.
At Lima, a few months ago, the
delegates re-stated and amplifieo
these principles. They endorsed the
removal of trade barriers ano
adopted a declaration of continen-
tai solidarity" declaring that q
threat to the integrity of any neN
world nation was matter OF com
mon concern to all and agreeing tc
consult in case the peace, security
or territorial integrity" of any Am
cricsn republic is threatened.
The good neighbor policy is moi
one sided. 1t must be reciprocal
The State Department admits thai
much remains to be done, but il
also feels that all the new Worlc
nations are coming to see the adj
vantage of standing as sovereign
equals, united by common ideals.
Now if the good neighbor policy
does not mean that the Unitec
States wants to be boss, it also doe!

STATUS OF THE CAT
(Christian Science Monitor)

That admirable association i'm Britain,
Our Dumb Friends League recently
announced that it had decided to agitate
for a license tax on cats, similar to that
imposed in dogs. This, the league hopes,
would raise the status of the cat" 1t is
obvious to the most casual observer that,
in the towns anyway, the cat is some
thing of problem; obvious that for ev-
cry placid, housekeeping purrer who re-
ioices to find his food upon his native
hearth, there seems to be several pariahs
-furtive, predatory outlaws, or bold
mosstrooping cats, but all with a lean
and hungry look, and such as do not
sleep o nights.
No doubt this is largely owing to the
nature of the cat, apt to look upon the
ministrations of man with an "indepen-
dent casual glance" behind which one
senses the derisive Cheshire grin, and to
prefer Tending for itself in No-Man's-
Land. Yet it is also owing in a degree
to laXness on the part of some owners.
The necessity for taking out license
would be likely to induce a greater sense
OF responsibility in these owners; while
if, as would certainly follow then, the
name and address on the collar were rem
dered obligatory, the police would be in
a position to challenge the stray cat
and even the lax owner would be happy
to benefit from this, the most efficient
means of tracing his charge

not mean that the United States
wants to monopolize all trade with
South America and stop imports
and exports between South Ameri-
can nations and other countries.
The United States can't buy those
things in any great quantity, be-
cause 1t produces them at home.
1t certainly cannot regard 1t as an
insult if a Latin nation sells it's
produce to a totalitarian power and
buys manufactured goods from that
power in return. In fact, the State
Department would regard it as a
calamity if that sort of thing were
not taking place.
What this government does ask
is that such deals be not exclusive;
that the process of normal exchange
of goods remain a process OF eX-
change and be not a process of pol
itical pressure or a threat to other
countries.
1t objects TO seeing any overseas
country mobilize its nationals in
South America for the purposes of
such pressure-and, in this objec-
ton, it is sustained by resolution
adopted at the Lima conference.
Primarily, the good ncighbor pol
icy is an attempt to promote better
understanding and to improve
trade. The two 20 hand in hand
to an extent; and they take with
them the concept of a common
plan for new world defense, out OF
which come such things as the cur
rent proposal to help the Latin
nationS arm.
The defense angle is important
Back of it lies the belief that DEM
ocracies can prosper only in rela-
lively stable and prosperous world
The constant sequence of war, war;
threats, and the preparation for wal
is an eternal threat to the demo
cratic ideal.

II is a hard-boiled world.

1t is hard boiled world.
Never within the memory oil Nv
ing men have the nations so COM
pletely discarded even the mask Of
principle to stare forth with the
naked face of self-interest.
lf-interest has always govern
ed the policies of nations. That is
inevitable. But We had come to
hope that bare self-interest, in
the sense that the tiger is true to
his self interest when he springs
on his helpless prey, had been
subjected TO at least some civilized
restraint.
Never before in history has a
bloodless conquest of whole ma
tions been seen. The only reason
it is seen now is that all the peo-
pies who bled in the World war are
still gun-shy. They still remember,
and they will not fight again ex-
cept in defense of vital national
interests, their very national lives
and not even then unless there
is a chance to win. 1t is not for
US to blame them.
When will Britain fight? She
will fight when she is convinced
that German advances have reach
ed a point where another step will
endanger the empire. But she will
not fight for abstract democracy.
When will France fight? She
will fight when a demand is made
which, if granted, would mean the
end of France as a great nation.
But she will not fight for abstract
democracy.
When will Russia fight? She will
fight when an effort is made to
take Russian territory whose loss
would endanger the Soviet Union.
But she will not fight for abstract
These countries are realistic, as
