WHAT ABOUT
BANKLESS SATURDAYS

Imperial Valley banking has gone on
the 5-day week, with the exception oil
Holtvlle where the only independent
bank in the valley continues To hold open
on Saturday for "A time.
The banks have stated their case pub
hcly, primarily .iustifying the Satur-
day closing on the grounds that: ID
Saturday is an optional holiday and mi
portant banking business cannot be trans
acted on that day anyway; CD about the
only business transacted on Saturdays Is
the cashng Of checks and receiving mon
les for deposits, neither OF which COM
prises the bank : chief source of income;
CD the 4O-hour week virtually compelS
confirming banking to five days a week.
II is very probable that the banks arc
right but We confess TO some concern
over the change Maybe we're old fash
toned and slow IL accept changes III the
old order of things. Possibly eventual
" all firms will be working only half
weeks.
On the other hand, maybe were juSti-
fled in fearing any curtailment IN Amer
ican business methods. We've always
felt curtailment in production of any
thing was wrong and our observation is
that the individual or firm who eases off
in his efforts sooner or later pays the
price For example consider France).

CAPTAIN OF A BIG HEART
(Christian Science Monitor)

Refreshing as a breeze right off the
near Atlantic, there came today over our
editorial desk this sunny dispenser Of
the miStS and clouds Of war copy Enclos-
ing a contribution 10 the Queen Wilhel-
nina Fund Inc about which he had seen
a notice in The Christian Science Moni-
tor, a young lad confided:
earned this dollar by being promoted
to Grade Y. Am nine Years old and hope
this money will help some little Dutch
boy Next week | go as mate ON my
Dads schooner. hope | can earn some
more for the Fund. II were big and
Captain of Il big Boat aS | shall be some
day I'd take it across loaded with things
they most need.
Who, reading this. now grown to man
estate and already captain of his fate,
is not inspired TO follow in the wake OF
the young sailor, rid himself of the
barnacles of selfishness. and seize the
opportunity TO help load those ships of
mercy which are vending their Way to

CHICKENS COME HOME
TO ROOST

The red tape and burdens placed on
business and private enterprise during
the past seven years. and other new hob
bles of similar nature, are seriously re-
tarding war defense preparations.
For years. the millions of employers
of this country have pointed out to the
administration that amy man. machine,
horse or enterprise can I run Its best
when over -burdened with dead weight.
Neither the public nor the administra-
ton paid any particular attention. En-
terpriSe had TO struggle on as best 1t
could.
Today. the scene rapidly is changing.
Government is asking for hasty arma-
mcnt. It isn't getting along SO we'll. ac-
cording 10 reports.
The reason is three-fold: u the red
tape. waste motion, jealousy within the
governmental bodies themselves; 90 the
shacklcS placed about business during the
past six or seven years: t3) the lmprac
ticable method of applying a verv>desir-
able ceiling on profits.
In the case. for EXAMPLE. of arplanes.
the Defense Commission headed by Will
liam s. knudson, head of General Motors,
isn't getting the planes produced with
the anticipated speed. The reason is the
involved and ever changing governmental
requirements. we quote from dl dIllcle
by Lorania X. Francis in the Los Angeles
Times:
elimination Of profits to 8 per cent,
with no differentiation as TO what are
legitimate "eXpenses' and what must
be paid from "profits' is the principal
stumbing-block in tie way Of an i'm
mediate expansion. according 10 the avia-
ton experts. Complaints from the in
dustry have chiefly centered around the
dny-fo-dny interpretations Which the
Treasury Department has released since
the sDccd-up program got under ray"
This sort Of foolishness is an old song
to employers who have had 10 deal with
it-and keep business going in spite Of it
for seven years.
Now in our serious hour the public is
beginning 10 see impractical New Deal
government in its true colors We are
witnessing the difference between prac-
tical fact and in fficient theory.
The chickens are coming home TO roost.

JApAN'S MONROE DOCTRINE
tChriStian Science MOnltOr)


The Monroe Doctrine confined estab-
liShed interests in the New World; it did
not seek to eject non-American Powers.
1t proposed to maintain the independence
of American nations, not to clrcumVent
it.
True, it was designed to base a policy
of Self-interest--the security of the
United States. Admittedly it has on oc-
cason been abused by imperalists.
Yet it has embodied real advantages
for weaker nations in the Western lie
misSpere They have found it a tolerable
doctrine They would not alter its OBJ
.iectives. And on the whole the United
States application of the Monroe Doc
trine and the acquiescence of smaller
American nations in this application has
exhibited enough of fair play on all sides
to make that Doctrine respected the
world over.
No greater compliment could be paid
it than comes from Tokyo periodically
in assertions that Japan today is eX-
ercising Monroe Doctrine through
out eastern Asia. The euphemSm has
been used again in the last few days.
All that this means is that the Japanese
military authorities sense how great
must be Britain's preoccupation with
the German threat Of invasion, and that
the United States must also pursue Il
cautious policy for the moment in the
Far East, that France is out. and that
this therefore may be- as one japanese
newspaper put it, Japan golden oppor-
tunity
a golden opportunity, presumably,
to exercise a Monroe Doctrine in the
Orient Yet how would Japan go about
it? The question is answered by the
history of the last eight years: by eject
ing established interests, by undermine
ing the independence of neighboring
nations through puppet regimes, and
by establishing Japanese power with
the "life-g giving sword and civilian
bombing.
Is this what the Monroe Doctrine
as applied by the United States in the
Western Hemisphere looks like in Tokyo?
Such an impression might impair some
Americans capacity for moral indigna-
ton. But not many will be so easily mis-
led into an unnecessary sclf-condemna-
ton For it is obvious that what Japan's
expansionist leaders are trying to do is
TO sell to the Americas and to the rest Of
the still civilized world bill Of goods
with a deceptive label. A compliment To
the Monroe Doctrine is implicit in the
effort. though not many Americans will
appreciate it as an acceptable compI-
ment
