Representative Dies and his committee
on un-American activities should have
the additional appropriation necessary to
continue its work. Nobody is quite salts
fled with all the committees methods
nor with all the utterances of its chair
man; nevertheless it has assembled an
invaluable public record of movements,
organizations and individual actions,
nearly all of which are hostile in spirit,
if not yet particularly destructive in re-
suits, to our basic political Institutes
To discontinue the committees work
now would powerfully encourage thou
sands of men and women engaged in a
variety of threateningly anti-United
States undertakings. What they most
fear, what most effectively thwarts their
necessarily under-cover doings with a
minimum of risk to legitimate freedom
of opinion and of speech, is publicity 1t
happens that Representative Dies now
plans "to conduct the remaining phases
of the inquiry behind closed DOORS" for
the reason that "in this day and time it
is dangerous to let witnesses publicly
acuse innocent persons of Communist or
NaZi leanings and we want to protect in
nocent persons against any such charges" ="
Such caution on the committees part is
good executive sessions for the present
may we'll be advisable But even closed
sessions will prepare an eventually public
record of what the committee finds.
Some of the efforts of aliens and of
naturalized Americans of alien loyalties
to propaganda foreign political faiths
and to foster discord here can be more
expeditiously uncovered by congress
sonal committee than by the enlarged
FBI, which will have its hands full in
any case The performances of consular
and even diplomatic representatives of
foreign governments are for this COM
mittee's attention. These have no right
of secrecy against our national safety or
interest.

FIFTY DESTROYERS
FOR BRITAIN

There cannot be much realistic COM
plant against this nations action III
l handing over so over-age destroyers to
Great Britain. We suspect that if bal
lot were taken on the matter, the people
would vote endorsement of the transfer
by about three to one.
Imperial Valley is as far separated
from official Washington in the matter
of war hysteria as the South Pole is from
its northern twin, yet not many in I'M
perial Valley will find any good oblec-
tion to the transfer. Most of the obJee-
tion that crops up will be political, and
in such a matter politics should be lett
behind.
Those so destroyers would not be of
much use to this country if, by some
far-fetched happening we should be IN
vaded tomorrow They are no more
than a detail when you consider that our
navy will not reach full strength until
some time between 1945 and 1947 in spite
of the emergency" howls that are gong
UP from hysterical statesmen in Wash
ington.
The destroyers, on the other hand, will
prove of invaluable benefit to Great Brit
ain in her present real emergency-an
emergency that has nothing whatever to
uO Will d UdliOlldl CdlIpdlSI VI WIFI
rushing measures through Parliament.
Unit for unit, the destroyers will be
more valuable to Britain than they could
ever be to the United States, because
the arena of sea warfare for Britain is
confined largely to the English channel
and the North Sea, whereas the sea arena
if this country were at war-would
be oceans wide.
If it were merely matter of weighing
Britain's good against that of the United
States, however, we would be dead set
against the destroyer transfer. Actually,
however, it is a matter of what is best
for this country itself And we say that
we would be willing to let the British
use every ship in our navy if that would
keep us out of war. For it is to cur ma
tional interest to keep out of war.
If those so destroyers can help Britain
defeat Hitler, and it seems from all indi-
cations that they can, then we heartily
endorse the action of the administration
in handing them over Hitler is our po-
tential enemy, England is not. 1t seems
only sensible that we should help the
nation which, by winning its own war,
may prevent us from getting into war
ourselves 1t is a cold blooded way to
look at the issue-but then, it is a cold
booded issue

Editorials and Comment
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1910
DRAFT NOW,
NOT NEXT YEAR
Boston Globe)

The President calls for the draft now.
He states emphaticaily his opposition to
the proposal in the Senate to put it off
till next January . The President has
waited to speak until it is plain that the
country is ready for the draft law. The
Congressional debate has brought up
every alternative and none of them will
do
None of the fears of what militarizing
may do to us can be quieted by delaying
draft Only an increased danger can
result If the attack does not come, we
are in the position of man who has
bought insurance and has no fire 1t is
greater kindness to American youth to
require them to train for war they may
never fight than to have to order them
unframed into the firing line.
The half-hearted suggestion that we
wait and see if enough do not volunteer
is unsound. America, if she is in danger,
does not want to leave her defense wholly
to those who, having no job. can be per-
suaded into the Army. Neither does she
want to see the contagion of patriotism
pull men out of essential and expert serv-
ices to volunteer
Those who still fear the effect of milit-
arizing America and regimenting youth
by compulsory training should be COM
forted by backward glance at Ameri-
can experience. This nation has shown
an amazing capacity to demobilize after
its wars. From the great armies of the
Civil war we were soon down to an es-
tablishment of $4,000 regulars The only
military trace of the World war two years
after was in Legion parades
Our people are resolute to defend their
institutions. The task of Congress is to
supply the means of defense, and to sup
port the spirit.

THE ASSESSMENT RATE

The Imperial Irrigation Districts new
$3.77 assessment rate looks just like last
years rate, on the books.
On the bills that will be sent to tax
payers, however, it will look lot better.
For regardless of the dollars and cents
figure of the rate itself, the taxpayers
have been saved $4,000 because assessed
valuations are lower.
1t is bit confusing to the average lay
man that he can pay the same tax rate
as last year, and yet pay less in ACTUAL
taxes. That is the case this year
It is refreshing to see the assessed
aluation-assessment rate setup as it is
III the district this year. Normally poll
ticians keep the assessed valuation up
in such a case, so they can boast about
having cut the tax rate. Or else, if they
need more money, they boost the assessed
valuation and keep the rate the same, so
they can claim there has been no raise.
So it is almost startling-but pleasantly
so-to find the rate the same, and valua-
tions down.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Nobody
is saying anything about it out
loud, but the innermoSt inner
circle New Dealers are breathing
much easier these days because of
Harry Hopkins resignation from
the cabinet.
That may sound odd, since Hop
kins himself is and always has
been one of the elect. simon-pure
aged-in- -the-vat New Dealers. But
during the last couple of months
there has been a sharp division
between Hopkins and the Corcoran-
Cohen group.
For one thing, the extremely
close personal relationship between
President Roosevelt and Hopkins
has of late tended to freeze up the
Corcoran- Cohen contacts with the
White House.
More important, however. is the
fact that the Corcoran-C Cohen crowd
has felt that the third term cam
paign was being badly mismanaged
under Hopkins guidance.
Hopkins, like FDR. felt much
more confident of a sweeping vic
tory at the polls than did the Cor
coran-Cohen group. This was per-
fectly manifest at the Chicago con-
vention Most of the New Dealers
there were willing to compromise
with the more conservative wing
of the party in the interests Of
harmony.
Hopkins, who was running the
draft movement, was not-the big
idea being that FDR was sure to
be reelected, so why bother?

That's what happens when play

pictures at RKO, for instance,
Astaire used to rehearse six weeks
before camera turned. When film

sometimes make as many as so
takes of a single flash scene, and
in the aggregate ar entire routine
would be shot hundreds of times.
The hoofing star was a little

fruitless weeks devoted to a num-

Tt was no reflection on the ac-

two months what he had devoted
many years to doing. In the final
editing of 'Damsel in Distress the
number was cut out.
But he agreed to try it again,
and Miss Goddard said she'd learn,
