CONSERVING THE
STATES FORESTS
{ Sacramento Bee)

State Forester NJ B. Pratt has won Il
national reputation for his work i'm con-
serving and protecting the forests of Cali
fornia.
No more experienced. no more faithful
no more efficient public servant is to be
found in the civil service of the state.
For this reason the citizenry were
shocked profoundly when news got abroad
that a eabal was operating in the COVER
nor'S office to oust him in order to make
room for a deserving" Democrat.
This move against Pratt was irrecon-
ciliable with Governor Olson's often de
clared devotion to the principle of con-
servation and respect for the civil ser
vice
Governor Olson now says. however
that since he has learned Forester Pratt's
Job comes within the protective limits OF
the civil service law, that status will be
respected
That Is good as far as it goes
But the conclusion Is plain that were
it not for the civil service status he has
acquired, the governor would see to it
that Pratt was dismissed and his place
given TO some one whose political creden-
tials were in good order.
In other words, long and faithful ser
vice to the state would be rewarded by
custer if that were legally possible
The governor thereby puts himself in
a very unenviable light
Conserving the forests is not political
job.
Fighting forest fires is not a partisan
responsibility.
It is task which calls for expert ad-
ministration such as has characterized
the work Of NJ B. Pratt for the last TWEEN
~ years.
And neither now nor ever will the
people tolerate the sacrifice Of forest con-
servation in California TO provide a Job
holders holiday

WASHINGTON-There has been
4 great deal Of talk about diSunity
within the Democratic party, not
So much discussion of widening
cracks in Republican unity.
But they are there. and Senator
Arthur Vandenberg OF Michigan
drove the wedge a little deeper in
Il magazine article which is COM
ing in for 4 great deal OF discus
sion in the capital.
The New Deal Must Be Salvag-
ed" is Vandenberg's text in the cur
rent American Mercury, in which
he quite frankly comes out as a
"coahuoniSt. his favorite theme
for long time. but never before SO
clearly brought out.
Vandonberg is n candidate for
the presidency Let there be no mis-
take about that simply because he
insists he is doing nothing about it
Vandenbergs article makes it
clear that he thinks Il Republican
campaign based on black reac-
ten repeal the New Deal" or
any such expressed or implied Slo-
gan. would be Il dismal failure.
Therefore he bases his claims of
Republican victory on holding fast
to adequate relief-but with more
local administration TO farm re-
lief-but under a re-vamped Nc
Nary Haugen plan; to the Wagner
Act-but amended TO be more
equitable: to social Security-but
better administered; TO bank de-
post inSurance-for which he
claims much credit himself; to the
RFC-whlch he credits to the last
Republican administration; and TO
security and exchange regulation
but better administered.
Thus he bases the Republican
claim to the voter on the theory

FINANCING WAR ORDERS
Wall Street JournaD

Disclosure of the sale here Of one or
more blocks of foreign-owned American
securities brings up again the question of
prospective financing of war orders. 1t
is not unlikely that other transactions
OF the same nature have been or are be-
ing negotiated and it is to be expected
that the Britons and the French will
gradually liquidate a considerable part
of their investments in the United States
to enable their governments to pay for
what they buy.
At the present time those governments
have dollar credits or earmarked gold in
this country to very substantial amounts.
They are under no immediate necessity
of converting securities into cash. But
it is not TO be supposed that they would
exhaust, or even nearly exhaust, their
cash resources before beginning the con-
version of investments Since gold is still
acceptable everywhere as a means Of pay
ment and the future accessibility Of par
ticular neutral markets to the belliger
entS is a matter of some uncertainty,
prudence dictates their keeping a goodly
store of gold on hand And the wisdom
of converting securities into dollars only
cautiously and over a considerable period
of time is equally obvious.
It is reasonable to believe, then, that
the British and French governments will
Use their bank deposits, gold and the
securities of their nationals alternatively
or together, as market conditions and
the volume OF their war purchases appear
to render advisable. Conversion Of Ameri-
can securities, however slowly carried out
and whether or not they pass across the
public exchanges in the first instance,

A DEFINITE COMMITMENT
WOULD HELP THE VALLEY

With the All American canal as near
completion as it is, it seems to the casual
observer that the engineers of the United
States Bureau of Reclamation should be
able To say within few weeks when the
big ditch will be in operation.
Already we are past the date original
~ set for completion, yet no new esti-
mate has been Forthcoming.
The Imperial Irrigation District power
system is threatened with a shortage of
power because of the delay.
The valleys credit picture is still fog
ged because of uncertainty about the
canal.
A widespread development program
affecting the entire valley is held in abey-
ance because nothing definite can be
learned about the projects completion
Reclamation bureau engineers are
among the best i'm the world. I'm under
taking construction Of the canal, they
undertook a Job without precedent; they
met conditions never before offered for
engineering study; they were confronted
with problems that had never before
taxed engineering ingenuity The valley
realizes all this The valley realizes the
untiring effort, the close attention to de-
tail and the painstaking care that have
gone into building the canal.
But, now tnaJ the canal is WITHIN few
percentage points Of completion, and
now that so many vital. factors hinge on
that completion, the valley should be able
to obtain some estimate Of when the prof.
ect will be placed in service.
The reclamation bureaus crack engin-
eers should be able to tell, at least with
in few months, when the canal will be
placed in service, sending water to the
valley and operating the big hydro-elec-
tric plants upon which so much depends
For the sake Of the valleys future, such
an estimate should be forthcoming.

Willis Thorntons Editorial on:
The World Keeps Getting Messier

process begins.
The messier this whole affair be
comes, the more evident it should be
to the United States that the big
gest contribution we can make TO-
ward better world conditions Is TO
remain aloof. Our whole Democra-
tic spirit may revolt at the strangu-
lation helpless neutrals elsewhere.
Our sense of justice may be badly
iarred. But we could do nothing
more than complicate things fur
ther by throwing ourselves into the
international riot.
Even if we wanted to fight, we
might have a pretty difficult time
irving to decide on what front we
wanted to throw our strength. we
couldn't be three places at once,
even if we wanted to. And it is pref
ty definitely established by now that
we don't want to be any place but
right here-on the American con
tincnt.

WHEN POLITICS
ENTERS RELIEF

When rampant politics enters into dis
tribution of relief, rottenness follows. 1t
is inevitable.
Any Californian, regardless of party
affiliation, can see that politics has been
instilled to a degree never before attempt
ed in the state relief setup. Considering
this fact, it is only natural that such
other items as recently uncovered should
creep in.
Charges that Communists control or
help control relief offices in various parts
of the state are probably we'll founded.
The Communists. masters of propaganda
as they are, have made themselves strong
political factors in some of the more
crowded, less we'll Informed parts of the
state 1t follows that they are able to
gain control of some offices under the
political spoils system. And there is no
office a Communist agitator would rath-
er control than a relief office. 1t gives
him an opportunity to spread his doc
trine of destruction among the destitute
and needy, whose plight has warped their
reason to such an extent that they will
listen to and accept any scheme no mat
ter how crackpOt, that promises them
more.
1t may be impossible entirely to divorce
relief from politics, but every safeguard
should be set up to keep the two apart.
California's present state administration,
rather than setting up such safeguards,
has torn down those which existed-and
now wants to blanket its political ap-
pointees in under civil service to assure
permanence for those who were given
Jobs only because they were good vote
getters.
Of all government functions, relief
most needs business management.

Bruce Cation in WASHINGTON
Dissects the News

that it takes n Democratic admin
istration to think up lot OF fine,
progressive ideas, and Republi-
can one to make them work.
Needless TO say. this is not the
approach to the campaign of Dew
ey. Hoover. or Taft. or To the veal
thy. ultra conservative group whcih
is looking for a dark horse" and
which was given good deal of
thought TO Governor Bricker of
Ohio. Much speculation has arisen
here as to Vandenberg'S motive.
especially since he pointed out that
he has as much right to interpret
Republican policy as anyone until
the convention speaks.
The sudden prominence OF Otto
KuuSinen as head of the Russian
"stooge" government set up for
Finland at Terjoki has some roper
cussions in washington. 1t is not
the first time that Kuusinen has
tried to do Moscow work abroad.
Ten years ago this same KuuSi-
nen was trying to capture the AM
erlcan cooperative movement Tor
Moscow. He failed completely. but
bitterness is still strong against him
among American co-operatives. and
especially those of the Cooperative
League, whose units have many
members of Finnish blood.
Kuusinen at the time in question
was already in Russian exile from
his native Finland.
In the summer of 1880 he sent
his wife and another representative
TO Superior Wis, with credentials
from the Comintern and orders TO
take control Of the Central Co.
operative Wholesale at Superior,
then an outstanding unit of Am
erican co-operatiyeS.
According TO oscar Cooley, ed
itor of the Cooperative Builder
at Superior, the Moscow represen-
tatives were rebuffed, Whereupon
they launched savage attack in
the Communist papers on the Cen
tral Cooperative.

In case you've lost count. there
are three wars currently being wag
ed in the world They are all wars
that grew out of aggression, and
there isn't much doubt among the
neutral judges who the bullies are.
It's bad season for small neutral
countries LollypopS are being taken
away from all the small boys. The
little tyke. Finland is tugging a
little harder than was confidently
expected; and Joe Stains Soviet
regime has already suffered some
pretty severe shin bruises.
But in the end. only a miracle
can save Finland from absorption
by Russia. and then the campaign
will be carried to other quarters.
Under the protective" wing of Sig
nor Mussolini-who has Ethiopia
and Albania on his belt-the Balkan
nations realize they are none too
secure. Norway, Sweden and Den
mark. feel Il tremulouS uncertainty
concerning their futures. The Rus
sian bear has arisen and is willing
to tackle anyone not more than
one tenth its size
OF one thing many neutral eX-
pertS seem to be certain: This Is
not series of three wars; 1t is one
great war with three different battle
fronts. The japanese affray
the first, has long since been pushed
into the background. But it is ire
futably. linked with the two bloody
disputes in Europe.
The "bloodless" conqueSts OF
C2echoSlovakia. Austria, Sudeten-
land. Memel. and Danzig were
next. They were just as much a
part of this general upheaval as the
gory war against Poland the de-
clared war against Germany by Bri
tain and France and the invasion
of Finland by Joe Stain.
Even Mussolini's conqueStS oi
Ethiopia and Albania fit into the
general picture. None of the patent
