WOMEN
AS UTILITIES

Americans who know the reactlonary
RECOMMENDATION to which women are sub
jected under national socialism natur-
ally wonder how they like it. Also what
the effect such reversion will have on
nation or a race.
Girls in Germany are not allowed TO
go to college. They are taken by state
authority at the age of SIX, enrolled III
"bund" and trained according to naZl
ideals. Their education contains very lit
tie of the modern culture to which girls
elsewhere have access. Their bodies are
trained at the expense of their MINDS ana
souls. The whole educational scheme is
planned to make them physically strong
and bearers of children. When they are
Is years old, they have a duty year
working for the state in factory or on
a farm. Then they are free.
Free to do what? In school they are
taught nothing but household duties,
cooking, mending, patching. If they have
stubborn minds they will be discouraged.
If they still persist, they will find them
selves up against the law.
Women at birth in Germany are re-
garded as public utilities" They are
made healthy and trained to do two
things-keep the male animal they will
marry healthy and content in his work
for the state and produce other animals
to work for those working for the state

American girls would like it. In fact, if
it were tried here, there would be fem

WESTWARD FLOWS
THE TIDE OF EMPIRE

Imperial Valley people, particularly
the farmers, should be instantly inter-
ested in population figures made avail
able by the 1910 census, and the prom
ise these figures hold for the future.
Beyond doubt, they show that Califor-
MIA is the fastest growing state IN the
nation, that the weight of population in
the United States is shifting gradually
westward, and that within another 10
years this state should be the third most
populous state in the nation.
By Inference, these facts indicate an
increasing market for the things 1mpe-
rial Valley produces. The increase in
population locally, and the expectancy
for such an increase, are minor factors
The major item for consideration is the
fact that Imperial Valleys products will
find closer, better paying market when
the other areas of this state increase IN
population.
California ranked fifth among all the
states of the nation in 1910 population
figures. New York, Pennsylvania, Illi-
nois and Ohio were the first four, in the
order given California had only 10000
less residents than Ohio, and only one
million less than Illinois.
Between 1880 and 1910, however, Illi-
nois and Ohio had gained less than 250,-
900 residents each, while California had
continued the trend of the previous dec
ade by gaining 1,196.00O in population.
CALIFORNIA; steady advance in popula-
tion is indicated by the fact that in 1920
she was eighth among the states, in 1880
she was sixth, and in 1910 she is fifth.
The cold figures tell story every bus
mess man and farmer should find inter-
esting. They give promise of increasing
wealth for California-wealth that will
increase slowly and steadily, not in the
frenzy of any sudden boom. The man
who takes advantage of the increase now,
and plans toward the future, will not be
sorry.

the walls of time ominously point
ing at eleven.
1t is as though time had not
moved, that all the Intervening
years were a feverish dream. For
again, as in 1918, the ball is back
in the hands of the fighting men,
passed to them by the statesmen
who tried to carry it, could not gain.
And again it is eleven o'clock.
1t is right and proper to remem-
ber the men who died in the World
War, to remember them with ten
derness and love. They did their
job. They won that respite at the
eleventh hour which should have
permitted a rebuilding They taught
the lesson; it's not their fault that
we refused to learn.
So it is fitting to turn for a
moment to yesterdays dead, even
though a new generation now
marches in the ranks that knew
their undaunted tread, and to turn
once again to those deathless words
of Lincoln, the most solemn memo
rial ever pronounced over the graves
of soldiers:
e. that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died
in vain; that this nation, under
God, shall have new birth Of
freedom, and that government of
the people, by the people, and for
for the people, shall not perish
from the earth"

The Eleventh Hour

At the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month
of 1918, the guns fell silent along
the Western Front. The World War
was over
Loving the reverent memory of
the millions who had fallen before
that eleventh hour has caused the
world ever since to mark the day.
There is something suggestive
about that eleventh. hour 1t is as
though an unseen, unheard, warn
ing was being given that time is
no. unlimited, that Western Civil
ization had not squandered quite
all its resources, that one last hour
remained to prove that it could
profit by experience and save its
soul.
1t had indeed been the eleventh
hour. France was literally "bled
white" and could not have carried
on much longer. Germany was just
going over the brink of revolution
Only staunch Britain and her en-
pire, and the unexhausted Ameri-
can might were still standing firm
when that hour struck.
The chance offered by that last
hour was badly muffled. States
menship fumbled when the fight
ing men passed the ball of world
affairs to them. For az years the
statesmen carried the ball, but fail
ed to gain. And now, again, Wes-
tern Civilization sees the clock upon

the BIGGEST NEED
IN NATIONAL PLANNING

The United States will be busy in days
and months to come planning and per-
fecting defense, raising money to finance
defense, consolidating social gains, de-
batting the merits of new social and eco
nomic proposals, and doing a hundred
and one things which will seem at the
moment to be the most important in the
world
But if the United States is to survive
such an economic debacle as it has never
before witnessed, the people and their
work uninterruptedly toward one goal
absorbing the shock that will come when
the world is at peace again and arma-
ments expenditures do not run into the
millions of dollars each day.
Business men cannot afford to kid
themselves during the months to come
that the prosperity they will undoubted-
ly feel will last forever, without help.
That was the mistake they made before
1929 The government cannot afford to
think only of today's crises, and not of
tomorrow's necessities Long range plan
ming is necessary now as never before to
take up the slack that will inevitably
come into the national picture when thou
sands are no longer employed in arma-
rlents factories, when government ship
building and airplane orders no longer
furnish work for additional thousands,
when private industry again is called
upon to carry the load.
1t is time now to begin seeing to it that
private industry will be able to carry
the load-because if it cannot, everyone
will suffer
We cannot afford these days to think
ONLY of today. Tomorrow is the time
that is filled with danger for us.

DEATH AND TAXES
(Turlock Journal)

Proverbially the two certainties of life
are death and taxes Which of the two
the average person would rather avoid
is something for the professional psy-
biologists to find out-if they can.
So far, however, the latest bid of con-
crete evidence would indicate that death
is to be preferred to taxes.
We refer to the recent news item, ca
bled from London, which reported Lon
don women shoppers crowding into a
heavily bombed district to buy perfumes
and cosmetics before new drastic sales
taxes went into effect-even as rescuers
were digging the bodies of bomb victims
out of the very store whose counters
were being rushed Apparently the lure
of good bargain, and the desire to avoid
taxation, is stronger than fear of death
dealt by Hitler's dive bombers.

Senator Gillette, head of the SEN

A man may not give more than
$4,000 to a national campaign fund.
But he apparently could give a
similar sum TO each Of the AZ state

could make further $4,000 contribu-
tions to assorted county commit
tees to the limit of his capacity

Nor has the ban on levying con-
tribudons on officeholders been en-
tirely effective. A government off,
cial in Washington, for example,
could not circularize the workers IN

tions: but the Democratic National
Committee could (and in some in

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1l-De-
spite the limitations imposed by the
Hatch act, the presidential cam
paign of 1910 NAV go down IN the
records as one of the most eXpcn-
sive ever Waged in America.
The Hatch act provides that no
party may spend more than $1,000
900 on a presidential campaign. 1t
also limits the sum any individual
NAV contribute TO campaign Iund
to $1,000 and prohibits the solici-
tation OF federal or federally paid
state employees for campaign con-
tributlonS.
But the act contains a set Of
loopholes big enough to drive a
platoon of tanks through, and evil
dence is mounting that full advan-
tage was taken of all of them. Net
result apparently has been that as
far as holding down campaign ex-
penditures is concerned. the Hatch
act might almost as well not have
been written.
ORGANIZATIONS
ARE LEGION
First of all, there is the $1,000
900 overall limit. What the act
SAYS is that no political organiza-
ton" may spend more than that
sum. It apparently does not cover
the sums that separate Organlza-
tions could spend.
Senator Hatch recently pointed
out that in passing on this point a
court should take into account the
debate on the floor of the senate
in which it appeared to be the
wish of the senate that the $1,000
600 limit should apply to the total
spent for any one candidate How
ever. most OF the Willkie commit
tee officials who testified recently
before the senate campaign 1und
investigating committee reported
that their lawyers mad advised
them that each separate committee
could spend up to S3,000000.
These committees were Iegloh'

ciated Willkie Clubs, the Willkie
Magazine Club. the Antl-Thlrd
Term Committee. the American
Writer'S Committee. the People
