Imperialism into which we were
catapulted by the Spanish -Ameri-
can War. We were not adept at
colonizing. We had no wish to rule
others.
These were sound instincts. We
still have them. The greatness to
which we are called today is not
a call to dominate other nations
or other peoples. 1t is a different
kind of greatness, a new kind of
leadership.
Soon the United States will be
charged not only with maintaining
its own freedom, but with keeping
freedom alive in world in which
it is temporarily overshadoWed.
The United States must be tow
er of strength around which may
rally all people of good will through
out the world 1t must develop
within its own borders a social re-
gime providing more happiness and
well-being than exists in any totali-
tartan country. 1t must give moral
leadership to the free countries of
the west, and help them to defend
each other from enemies within and
without.
To do these things requires citi-
zenship, vision, wisdom, unselfish-
ness, and the broadest patriotism.
To every man is given the task of
supporting with all the strength
within him the greatness which the
times are thrusting upon America

intrusion.
There are no storm troopers walk
ing into our houses, revolvers in
hand to drive us to exile, prison,
or death.
But the second America is diff
ferent. 1t is small but dangerous. 1t
plays up national weakness which
does rot exists ,incites fear, tells
youth that to love a county enough
to fight for it is ridiculous, that
wars are made by old men for mon
etary gain, and sows aSsiduously
the seeds of national chaos and
despair as unjustified as it is wick
ed.
1t must be destroyed, and only
common sense of our people can
do this. For America is worth
fighting for. 1t is more than that
1t is worth dying for. AS 1 write
this an island across the sea is
preparing for death, rather than
surrender what we have too long
taken for granted.
If England dies, it will die in dig
nifty and splendor.
This is our heritage. Not hyS-
terra. Not political demagoguery or
passive acceptance. A freedom to
De preserved to the death, with dig
nifty and Splendor.

to a cotton-farm landlord and ask

enough money for a houses BY
contracting for the home in quantity
and cutting out all the frills, 1t is
able to construct decent four-roonl
homes for about $3.50 apiece.
The family pays off this FSA
loan over 10 years-at rate OF
about $50 a year. The landlord
gets no rent, but at the end of tho
10 years the house belongs to him
Meanwhile the family has enough
land to raise garden truck, keel
chickens, and support COW and
a few pigs. These support it during
the slack season; it gets its c3Sli
income by hiring out as farm labor
during the brief periods when tho
region needs large supply oi
casual workers.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Substance" is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist. The
Golden Text is from Romans: IF
we hope for that we see not, then
do we with patience wait for it,"
Among the Scriptural citations in
the Lesson-Sermon are these worls
from Matthew: And straightWay
Jesus constrained his disciples to
get into ship, and to go before
him unto the other side, while he
sent the multitudes away. And when
he had sent the multitudes away,
he went up into a mountain apart
TO pray. O.. But the ship was now
in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary
And in the fourth watch of the
night Jesus went unto them, walk
ing on the sea. And when the dis
ciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, 1t is a
spirit; and they cried out for fear.
But straighWay Jesus spake unto
them, saying. Be of good cheer; it is
/; be not afraid.
A passage from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy, states: Chris
tian Science declares that Mind is
substance, also the matter neither
feels, suffers, nor enjoys. Hold
these points strongly in view. Keep
in mind the verify of being that
man is the image and likeness of
God, in whom all being is painless
and permanent" ?

WHO ARE APPRAISERS?

More than anything else, the average
American citizen must be on guard dur
ing the next few months against general
tiles. Most specifically, he must guard
against the generalities which are uttered
with the intention of arousing his hatred
against a particular person or group Of
persons.
The American Civil Liberties Union
and we in Imperial Valley know there is
more fire than smoke in Dies committee
charges that the ACLU is a Communist
front anization-generalized recent
ly in statement intended to make Amer
leans believe that the FBI had become
sort of Nazified American secret police.
The ACLU, of course was trying to dis
credit grand law enforcement agency.
But Communists are not the only of
Tenders. Some of them are honorable
citizens, whose anger or political ambi-
ton has led them to. make statements
they would not make if they thought
more deeply.
Even President Roosevelt in his first
political speech of the campaign, made
that mistake. He labeled as "appeasers
of Hitler" all those who oppose his,
Roosevelt's, foreign policy. Indirectly
he called his opponent, Wendell Willkie,
an appeaser because Willkie opposes
Roosevelt's belligerency The President
of the United States should not general
ize thus-because in so doing he is bound
to be wrong.

w aTER IN THE
all AMERICAN CANAL

The greatest phrases we know would
be far too weak to tell what it will mean
to Imperial Valley when water is turned
into the All American canal next week.
Not just an experimental flow of water.
Not just little water so somebody can
make speech of dedication. But water
running down from the Colorado in
steady current, ready to baptize Impe-
rial Valley with the touch of new life.
Water doing the work to which our pio-
neers harneSsed it years ago, but doing
it more surely, more steadily, more safe
ly.
For Imperial Valley is like man or a
woman. 1t cannot live without drinking
the water out of natures reservoirs. 1t
cannot depend upon the rainfall, nor
upon chance. 1t must have water in an
uninterrupted flow, from steady source,
or it will perish. ....-
And next week the greatest chapter in
that whole story will be written. Quietly
and without fanfare, it will come to pass
Soberly-clad engineers will lift a head
gate at Imperial Dam, and watch the
waters of the Colorado river flow toward
this valley in the greatest man-made lr-
rigation canal in the world. Most likely
they will joke about it, and then go on
to other tasks. But the touch of their
hands will have signalized the beginning
of new way of life for our valley.
1t will not happen all at once, this
miracle. 1t has been a long time in prep
aration. 1t will be a long time in frui-
ton. There will be no laundering head
of water pounding against the inlets of
our local canal system There will be no
sudden opening of intake gates. Rather
there will be a cautious, careful, time
consuming effort to make sure that moth
ing goes wrong, that every inch of the
great canal is trustworthy, that days will
not be lost in repairs simply because
somebody was anxious to save hours.
But to us in Imperial Valley quarter
century of life will have reached its eli
max; a new period of time will be open
ing up. For the canal, and all that it
means, will become synonymous with
Imperial Valley, and its current will be
the current of life here
This is a thing too big for the mind to
grasp all at once, too great to be reckon
ed in terms of today only. Only the fu-
ture, and those things which may hap
pen in the future, can write the true
importance of what is happeninp TODAY

Dies 10 Pursue Clues
Given by Dozenberg
OF Soviet Spy Ring
Committee Member Is
Shocked and Startled
At the Revelations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Dies of the House Com
mittee on un-American Ac-
tivities, which has been seek
ing to unearth evidence re-
garding existence of a fifth column"
here, said today his group would
pursue new clues obtained in closed
session yesterday from Nicholas
Dozenberg, former Soviet Ogpu op-
erative.
The committee, he said. would use
names mentioned by Dozenberg to
dig into accounts Of huge spy ring
which MIR. Dies asserted was spread
through the country to get military
and industrial secrets.
Representative Mason, Republican,
of Illinois said he was both shocked
and startled at the revelations Of
the widespread espionage system
that the Soviet government has had
in the United States-and especially
at the evidence of the laxness and
negligence the Department of
Justice has shown in this matter"
Il consider it very necessary" Rep
resentative Mason added, that a
counter-espionage system be built up
in this country to counteract the ac-
tivity of these flfth-column agents
of a foreign government"
+ Mr.. Dies said that In the light of
what the committee learned and
what has happened in Europe the
committee might recommend OUT
lawing such groups as the Com
munist party and the German
American Bund.
Dozenberg, 57-year-old Communist
party worker and for u years an
OGPU agent in the United States,
is under sentence for passport
fraud. He was brought from the
