JOB DOESN'T END
WITH REFUNDlN6

Imperial Valley voters Wednesday
demonstrated keen appreciation of the
economic problems confronting them as
a community. They struck telling blow
in behalf of their own security when
they voted to approve the Imperial lr-
rigation Districts SD 900 bond re-
funding program. We believe the fu-
ture will demonstrate the complete wis
dom of their choice.
The voters did more than launch a
refunding program when they voted in
its favor Wednesday, however. They in
augurated a program of accomplishment
which should make 1889 one of the
greatest Of all years in the valleys his
tory They made possible the first and
second items on a must program-and
cleared the way for other achievements
to improve the valley financially, agri-
culturally and in every other way.
Refunding now needs only the agree
ment of two-thirds of the districts bond
holders to become an established fact
District officials already have obtained
promises from many bondholders that
they will cooperate. Speedy agreement
by others is hoped for.
Once refunding is in operation, drain
age also will be on the way. 1t is No. 2
on the "must" list.
With refunding and drainage assured
people Of the valley will be free to de-
vote full attention to those other must"
items, all equally important They
should be carried in mind until accom-
plishment is assured. Every effort
should be made to bring them to frui-
tion.
With refunding No. | and drainage
No 2, the other items on the list are:
No. 3. Strict business administration
of the irrigation district power system.
No A. Utilization of the All American
canal not only for strictly irrigation
purposes, but also as one of the great
est potential means of advertising the
valley to possible investors and future
residents now in other parts of the coun-
try.
No. 5. Development of a long-range
crop marketing and land use program
to assure the farmer a fair return on
his investment and labor through busi-
ness administration of agriculture
With these things accomplished I'M
perial Valley would be in the front rank
of prosperous American communities. 1t
is up to the people of the valley to see
that they are accomplished.

We Begin to Play South American Cards

countries south know that today
Uncle Sam has imperative reasons
to want genuine friendship with
nearest neighbors. Hence they know
they can trust his protestationS of
friendship.
Then he played the Declaration
of Lima and reciprocal trade picture
cards, and they took tricks, too for
the South Americans are already
beginning to realize that the block
ed-mark boulevard is a one way
alley.
Now it looks as though Sam is
going to run out the suit of friendly
financial assistance and increased
free trade.
Chile desperately needs financial
help to rehabilitate her earthquake
regions. Peru. Uruguay, and perhaps
Argentina, needs help to get back
on the track of orthodox finance
and normal international trade re-
lations.
The United States is now a Gre
ditor country, as Dr.. OsWaldo
Aranha pointed out, and must act
like one That is, it must use its
creditor position to promote econo-
mic recupeTation IN countries less
favored. A creditor has no other
choice, for he has nothing to gain
by the bankruptcy of his debtors

DiSCOURTEOUS AND
uNAMERICAN
(San Bernardino Sun)

jim Farley, postmaster general and
head of the Democratic party, was
romdly booed at Santa Anita race track
recently.
Herbert Hoover, former president and
a spokesman of the Republican party,
was vigorously booed at Hollywood
motion picture theater on the same day.
Such demonstrations against promi-
nent men in the affairs of the nation
are development of the present genera
tion. History indicates that such prac-
tices were used in early days but for
many years at least the American pub
lie forum was free from the antics OF
rowdies.
Just why should any one pick on jim
Farley? He is a pleasant gentleman
who would not do a discourteous act or
Intentionally wound the sensibilities of
any one He has certain definite ideas
regarding politics and as an American
citizen he is entitled to those ideas Ger
tainly there is nothing in the record that
indicates he ever attempted to interfere
with the free thinking or speech OF any
American.
And just why should any one boo Her
bert Hoover? He has certain well de-
fined ideas Of public action which he
believes is necessary for the welfare OF
ali the people of this nation. He is en-
titled to those ideas An increasing num-
Der of former critics are beginning to
wonder if after all Mr. Hoover did not
know what he was talking about.
Both Of these gentlemen will have a
place in American history and that place
will be to the credit of each Of them.
Men and women who boo those with
whom they disagree demonstrate at
that very instant the very intolerance
which they profess to hate. The inven-
tion of the boo is not to the credit of
this country or to the persons who use
it. And on top of that it is un-Amercan.

LEVEL HEADS NEEDED
IN THE LEGISLATURE

Los Angeles representatives to the
state legislature, elected by predoml-
nantly labor union vote, have intro
duced a bill which according to
them - would define the rights of
striking labor unions to picket struck
jobs. In practice the bill would outlaw
many county and city anti-picketing
ordinances which now ban unfair tactics.
1t would, in fact, remove all restrictions
from pickets during a strike.
The bill was sent out of committee
with a "do pass" recommendation
cause metropolitan legislators dominate
the committee What its fate will be in
the senate and assembly is a question of
vital interest to everyone, and especially
to those in agricultural sections.
We believe the Legislature as whole,
more representative of average senti-
ment than the opolitan-controled
committee, will defeat the measure.
Anything any person can do to assure
such defeat will benefit this valley, along
with other farm areas.

WASHINGTON. - Senator Ger
aid Nye has been campaigning
vigorously all winter to keep AM
erica out of war, but he gets sore
if YOU call him a pacifist. He says
he's a peace salesman instead, and
he insists there's q big difference.
The senator rather likes the sales
man idea. He says that if you're
out to sell something like coffee,
for instance, you don't just take
one full-page ad and then quit;
YOU make a continuous campaign
out OF it.
That's what he's trying to do
with peace. He campaigns in sea-
son and out of season. This past
winter his campaigning has made
him a thorn in the side of the ad-
ministration.
But pacifiSm-no. In fact, the
senator likes d-fashioned let
e-eagle-scream" Fourth of July
speeches and would like to see
them revived. But he thinks AM
erica ought TO be militant only
in its own hemisphere.

nervous energy. Off the floor, ne
smokes cigarets constantly, and has
a sneaking fondness for practical

professional wrestling so much. He
likes to sit down front where ne
can hear the grunts.
He's also bug on baseball, a
better-than-average golfer, and a
devoted fisherman. In the sum-
mer. when he can, he likes to get
up into the Minnesota lake coun-
try and catch bass and muskies-
and. for that matter, the loWly

Nye keeps long hours. He gets
down to his office, usually, by
eight in the morning, and sticks

From Indian and Eskimo com panions, the Bishop learned to keep his socks dry at 78 delow zero. He learned the knack of building fire in bowling gale, learned to pick off wolves outside the camp circle with a rifle. Bishop Rowe mushed 2,000 miles each winter-in sum, he said, more than any other man in Alaska.
