defalcations in the Calipatria dlvl-

the jury suggested would be greater
than the defalcations.
Control of division accounts
in the future is to be more direct
and should be adequate for TIE
detection of any and all Irregular
ities," he added.
Outside audits of division offices
have been made by the district per-
sonnel but not in sufficient detail
to uncover well-concealed irregular
tiles such as existed in Calipatria
Several recommendations, such
as the need for stricter control
of gasoline supplies in the north
end, better supervision OF ware
house distribution and closer track
of water run to those delinquent
in water bills have already gone
into effect. Some changes were
made before the jury's report was
released, Maddux indicated.
Directors adjourned at noon to
meet again later and discuss other
points in the jury report.

A DictatOr's Difficulties
Cincinnati Enquirer

tClnc1nnatl Enqu1rer)
 You can regiment men, but you can't regiment human nature. And so the practical difficulties of dictatorship enormous in the superbly ideal istic domain of Joe Stalin.
 This is made evident in the recent dispatches in the Soviet Government newspaper Izvesta, which declare that Russian wine taSterS not only fail to meet their quotas but engage in extra-curricular drinking costing the state 2250000 rubles annually.
 One taster, said Izvesta, used 20 quarts of wine and three of champagne in the course of his month ly taSting-whch is pretty vigorous tasting in any mans country. Another taster, the paper said ranged collective wine tasting tests in which non professional guests participated
 This smackS of treason, and doubtless has been punished as such But the damage already has been done. The Soviet is shy many quarts of champagne and wine which might have been used to titate the stomachs and bemuse the brains of foreigners in the Soviet embassies throughout the world. Perhaps the world revolution consequently has been delayed for the time it will take to replenish the diplomatic wine cellars. And all because the wine tasters thought more of their palates than of the Commun- ist Party Sometimes Joe must wonder why he tries to do anything for those people.

HITLER'S NEW EUROPE

Germany hestates to launch her grand sally against England, but the Nazis lose time in mak- ing the continent in their image, This may be attempt to insure quiet and order in Europe while the last campaign is undertaken but it is so artificial that would be rash to conclude that it furnishes a basis for future European life.
 The Nazis make effort to conciliae conquered peoples Not the Danes who did not resist invasion, receive any consideration Into the same mold is pressed every victim The annihiation of the former national culture can plant only an abd- ing hatred in the breast of the conquered The Ges- tapo the system of reprisals for the acts of others the forced labor the overbearing insolence of the invader, do not win support but generate deter imitation to escape from the overlord whenever the opportunity permits.
 For all the talk that the Nazis aid the little man, the evidence shows the opposite to be true Where they the Nazis make deals with the leaders That is the in the Balkans and tral Europe Hitler has just concluded conferences with statesmen from Rumania, Bulgaria and Slovakia The map there will be remade. But he has not won the Balkan peasant.
 France goes out of it's way to flatter the victor by imitation But who would dare claim that the sub servence of the Pean regime expresses the feeling of Frenchmen? No one will be taken in by the claim that the state ruled from Vichy is a regime "a la Francaise" This monstrosity France? It would be huge joke it not of the greatest trage dies of time What Frenchman will call this Ia patrie?"
 This synthetic Europe, this Germanized Eu- rope, may be kept in line for a while. Its economy may be regmented to the needs of the totalitarian staes-that is its people may be forced to labor for their masters and depend on them for existence but it never be real, it never exist without the constant policing of the victors.

U. s. DIPLOMACY

These are days of shrewd, stream lined diplomacy when the dictators appear to be missing no tricks Among other things, the Nazis have collected Maurice ThoreZ, French Communist leader, and sent him in sealed train to Paris where he is expected to turn up sooner or later as leader of a new Nazified gov ernment.
 In China, the Japanese carefully protected the boy Emperor, Henry Pu Vi and placed him in charge ,i the puppet throne of Manchoukuo while in South America, Nazi lead CTS are in touch with various poli- tieos who can set up dummy gov ernments for them when the time is ripe.

 This should be lucky date fol all who are engaged in any sort of constructive work There is a sign warning that the judgment may be untrustworthy due to ap- prehensions regarding war even- 1 tualities It is wise to think twice before starting ambitious projects
 Heart and Home: Difficulties at tending housesold machinery may increase as domestic help becomes difficult to direct The stars warn that it is wise to live simply and to watch expenditures in view of coming economic problems inevi- table in the Uinted States. Labor troubles will be curbed, but they will extend to Wage-earners of all classes. Girls should concen- trate on cooking and home-making tasks.
 Business Affairs: Industry, high geared and widespread, will assure activity in merchandising. Com munities in all parts of the coun- try will profit through government expenditures. Losses caused by heavy storms and by earthquakes will be sustained in the autumn Nature will appear to reflect the mental upheavalS of the human race as war horrors extend. The nation will prosper, but it will also meet extraordinary demands upon it.
 National Issues: Hearty support of the Government in Washington will be given by citizens of every state, but there will be increase in SubVersive activities among indi- viduals and organizations. A sabo- tage plot will cause incalculable damage on an important water way. Treachery in novel forms is prognosticated.

Princeton and the League
(NeW York TimeS)

It would be historic irony if the United States, which did so much to create the League of Nations and then refused to enter it. should become war
 time host to the Leagues non-poltical and technical sections Yet this is the generous and commonsense proposal which has been sent to Geneva by three American institutions Princeton University the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, and the Princeton division of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
 The truth is that though the League failed in its main political objectives, it has done splendid work, with American aid and cooperation and some times with American personnel, in the vast field of public health in the study of economic and financial problems; in the study of social problems; in child welfare and in other social and scientific Its work for intellectual cooperation" has been sadly blighted in continent where the free intellect is now in chains, but there is for it here
 More and this country becomes the refuge of creative minds. Some of their work could center upon the activities of political League agencies at Princeton. There every why tenn porary shift should be made from Nazi- threatened Geneva to this peaceful sanctuary

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

Some people just never learn.
 Administration chiefs, with the echoes of the raucous Bronx cheers of the Chicago convention still painful in their ears, are bending over backward to patch up party wounds and reestablish, at least on the surface, an atmosphere of amity and unity for the tough campaign ahead.
 But in the midst of these fran tic efforts, some of Secretary Wal lace's lieutenants are seriously urg- ing that Rex Tugwell, former No brain truster, be named to his Cabinet post.
 If there is any single move that would tear the party wide open that is it. Tugwel is a brilliant economist, a sincere humanitarian and a gentleman. But to old-line leaders he is a flaming red flag
 The mere mention of his name causes them to snort in rage anc square off for battle. To attempt to make him Secretary of Agri- culture would precipitate a faction al fight that would lick the Demo- cratS even if Willkie never lifted a finger
 Nevertheless some of Wallace's bright young executives, apparently with the fate of their own choice jobs uppermost in their minds, arc trying to put this over.
