In San Francisco the other day young

If romance is To continue along this

Having considered all the evidence

Cardenas Denounces Monroe Doctrine,
Says Mexico VIII Manage Own Affairs

Monroe Doctrine had ceased TO
exist in its previous form"
Cardenas pointed out that the
Buenos Aires declaration was MADE
against direct or indirect interven-
ton by one American nation in the
affairs of another. and that 1t es-
tabliShed the principle OF mutual
consultation among the republics.
Discussing the oil situation, the
president referred to newspaper ar
ticles quoting Donald Richberg, at
torney for American oil interests IN
Mexico, as saying that there was
no prospect of a compromise be-
tween the companies and the MeXi-
can government, and intimating
desire for international arbitrat\n.
Cardenas said that negotiations
with Richberg had been terminal
ed and that he was no longer re-
garded here as representative OF
the companies. Hence. Cardenas
said. his statement lacked weight.
Mexico will settle the oil problem
by paying the companies for pro-
perties appropriated, Cardenas SAID.
Speakers at a meeting OF govern
mental party congressman last night
charged that enemies of Cardenas
were planning a revolt and were
conducting an anti-MeXican cam
paign in the United States. COM
mittee was named TO propose mea-
sures to avert an uprising. The de-
cline in the rate of the Mexican
peso was blamed on enemies OF the

JAPAN OFFERS PEACE
[ Nevada State JOurnal)

Japan's program for the establishment
OF a central government III all the occu-
pied portions of China has received cab
met approval, and now will be pat into
effect, with Wang Ching-wei, a former
premier of China, who split with Gener
alissimo Chang kai-shek, in charge.
Chang will continue to resist japanese
rule through guerilla fighting in the
west, but new government is born for
the rich coastal territory, embracing the
larger Chinese cities.
Friends of Chinese independence will
see in Wang Ching-wei's action the de-
serting of the homeland to the invader,
and already Wang has been branded
traitor by Chiang's regime and expelled
from the nationalist party. But there is
an element of common sense in his reslg-
nation to what appears China's inevitable
fate, nevertheless. His philosophy is
summed up in the statement, I'VE can
not defeat the japanese, therefore we
must be friends with them. They have
offered us an honorable peace.
Regional governments already have
been set up by Tokyo in the areas about
such cities as Shanghai, Peiping, as well
as in North China and in Manchukuo,
but the plan for great central govern
ment IS new. wang mas hopes tnaI WIN
the setting up of the new federal state,
though under japanese auspices, the in
vader will withdraw and claims to have
Japans promise to that effect already.
1t may be face-saving gesture on the
part of Japan, who despairs of making
further inroads into Chiang's territory
or of bringing the generalissimo to terms
But it is a plan that may work out for
the benefit of both the warning nations
A mere salemate in China, such as has
existed for many months, is of benefit
to neither side, and the Chinese, tired
of war, may accept it as the best deal
that can be made with the conqueror. 1t
is an experiment that will be watched by
the outside world with interest for it
may determine the future of a country
which has known but little peace since
the overthrow of the monarchy.

It's as safe in an airliner these
days as it is in baby's crib. Or
at least it was during 1899, accord
ing 10 fiStful OF heartenng
statistics released by the Air Trans
port Association Of America.
Domestic airlines carried 1,400,-
900 persons over total OF 620,00O,-
90. passenger miles without even
scratching the nose OF single
person. Col. Edgar S. Gorrell,
president of the Air Transport
Association, was probably right
when he said that this was the
greatest increase in safe travel of
any class of passenger service for
any similar period in the history
of transportation in the United
States"
The safety record becomes even
more remarkable in view of the
fact that the number of passenger
miles flown both by domestic and
international lines originating in
this country increased from $685.
100000 in 1888 to 880,000,000 last
year. Mail and express shipments
also increased, according to the
report.
The increase in passenger travel
is directly linked to the enviable
safety record set by commercial
pilots, mechanics and all others
who are responsible for the safe
flight of transport planes. The
increased enthusiasm for air ira
vel enabled airline executives to
dip into the black ink bottle again
for the first time III several years.
For the past several years, airlines
have been operating at net annual
loss of S2,000,000, Colonel Gorrell
said.
1t is also true that the confidence
of the public in air transportation

Famous Sayings

MEXICO CITY Jan 13. (UP)-
President La2aro Cardenas today
announced MeXico's refusal to re-
cogniZe the Monroe Doctrine and
declared that Mexico would solve its
oil problem, involving 100000 900
worth of foreign oil properties eX-
propriated by the government. in
its own way.
President Cardenas commented
that reports the United States
would send warships to see that
MeXico's neutrality was not vio-
lated were absolutely false
Regarding the Monroe Doctrine,
he said
The Monroe Doctrine never was
recognized nor could be recognized
by Mexico and other Spanish-Am
crican nations. It was only an eX-
preston of an unilateral policy
which the United Staets adopted
with the double purpose of eXclud-
ing European countries from this
hemisphere and defending its own
interests.
such a doctrine badly interpret
ed and applied beyond its original
scope, sometimes converts itself into
a pretext for Intervention in the
affairs Of other nations. When the
protocol against intervention in
each others affairs was proposed by
Mexico at the Buenos Aires Pan
American conference of 1896, and
signed by all the American repub-
lies. it was considered that the

THE FORGOTTEN MAN
IN SOCIAL SECURITY
[ klVerSlde PreSS)

AANiNCiSidG 1881
= These social security pensions which
began at New Years Of course are great
stuff.
The worker puts in his little one per
cent of his wages or salary and the en-
ployer matches it and then Uncle Sam
adds bit. Later on the ante may be two
or three per cent. The worker reaches
63 years of age, and automatically starts
cashing in and continues doing so for
the rest of his life. Uncle Sam making
the distribution.
The first beneficiaries are lucky, be-
cause the plan has been in operation only
a short time and they have put into the
pot only very little compared to what
they may expect to draw out But that's
accidental and eventually these benefici
aries may have made fair contribution
toward their own pensions. All that is
very well and good.
But there is one party, though, who
seems to have been overlooked in this
system when it comes to distributing the
money and that's the employer.
Suppose man employs 100 or 1000
men. He chips in year after year his one
or two or three per cent of the payroll
whatever it may be- matching the en-
ploye'S ante, and keeps doing it so long
as he hires people.
Then suppose he reaches 90, and may
be in the meantime he has gone broke
and has no Job. What does he get out of
it? That question is easily answered.
Not a red cent.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-01-14
The SAME REASONING

The La Toilette committee, which has
heaped no end of criticism on California
peace officers for keeping the peace
among radical agitators during strikes,
has something to ponder today. A crowd
of several hundred persons caused a near
riot at Los Angeles by attempting to
force its way into the committee room,
which ssats only 100.
Following out the reasoning it has
displayed so far, the committee should
ad5Ndge the bailiffs and marshals who
kept the crowd in order TO be guilty OF
suppressing civil liberties. After all, one
man has as much right as another to
attend a hearing.

Willis Thorntons Editorial On:
The Aviation Industrys Big Year

is making it possible for alrlneS
to rely less on mail contracts ana
express business and more on
pasSenber services. Only five years
ago, about 10 per cent OF the bus
mess handled by transport ships
included mail and express ship
ments. and passenger service COM
prised only 80 per cent. Last year.
60 per cent of the commerce handled
by commercial aviation firms was
in the form of human cargo.
While safety played a prime part
in Vitalizing passenger business, the
airline firms also bestow a certain
amount of deserved credit upon the
smooth functioning OF the Civil
Aeronautics Act and on the Air
Traffic Conference which opened
up a system of coordination among
the various lines.
Aviation is still a growing indus
try. No one would contend that 1t
has reached the peak of its eff
cheney, the pinnacle of its ability TO
serve the public. Fifteen years ago
there was no scheduled passenger
service. twenty-five years ago, most
people still regarded the flying ma
chine as something with which
only a fool would play.
Yet, despite its comparative
youth, aviation has already set a
record which no other mode OF
transportation can claim. There
were airplane accidents in this
country in 1899. But they did not
happen to the trained pilots OF
the transport companies. The air
lines have proved that, given good
equipment, and expert personnel,
there need be no fear of acci-
dents. 1t the best kind of publ.

MEMBER
A GRIM REMINDER OF THE
NEED FOR CAREFUL DRIVING

Another victim Of automobile accidents
on Imperial county highways died this
week Her death was not credited against
1910, since she was injured last Noven1-
ber, and so 1910 continues without an
automobile fatality-when this was writ
ten.
II was grim reminder that death
waits on every mile of highway in this
or any other county, depending upon
bit of carelessness, a faulty piece of ma
chinery a drunken driver or a reckless
whim to strike.
Imperial Valley motorists have started
this year with a good record. Critical
injuries and death have been absent from
the chronicle of Imperial Valleys goings
and comings. They will remain absent
only so long as every motorist does his
best to see that he drives safely, observ
ing all the rules of good manners on the
highways.
When next you get behind the wheel,
remember it does no good to demand
your rights on the highway. Many man
has beer killed because he thought the
other fellow should stop and let him go
by. Practice courtesy Downtown or at
home you would step back to let another
man go through the door first. Why not
use the same sort Of good manners on
the highways?
Death brings tragedy, grief and terror.
Death on the highways is not unavoid-
able.
Why not avoid it?

WASHINGTON-The really sig
nificant part of the relief stand
taken by Governor Bricker OF
Ohio has been pretty much over
looked. That part had to do with
relief.
Governor Bricker declares that
Ohio is meeting its relief problem
honestly and adequately. Then he
adds:
Il have also an interest in the
relief Of -burdened taxpayers,
in the farmer who works from
sun-up until shutdown and who
often receives too small part OF
the nations income. I have an
interest in the homeoWner who Is
now burdened with heavy taxes.
I have an interest in the relief OF
the man who has a job, but who
for every four days work done
gives one TO the government IN
taxes
That, according TO people here
who should know, viii be the
keynote on which the governor is
to be presented TO Republicans as
a presidential prospect during the
next six months. While Governor
griscker is officially not a candi-
date for anything except another
term as governor of Ohio, his pre-
sidental candidacy is actually be-
ing developed very actively by his
friends. Just incidentally, the sit
uation has the intimates OF Sena-
tor Robert Taft, the ayowed Ohio
candidate, pretty much worried.

Our YESTERDAYS

With bright and shining hopes
for a Parliament OF Man"
Federation of the World. President
Woodrow Wilson, for seven ex-
citing but trying years the first
executive of the United States,
called the first meeting OF the
League of Nations.
That was exactly 20 years ago
today.
A scant few days ago the Lea
que adjourned in its spacious
offices in Geneva after branding
Russia the "aggressor" in invad-
ing Finland The League branded
and then adjourned. OF purely
moral value TO neutral nations
whose sympathies were extended
to Finland, the action was hardly
that of the international police
force Wilson envisioned when he
ordered the ambassadors Of the
entente TO gather at Paris at 10:30
a. m. a.
That same day El Centrans were
warned that cigarette prices, then
20 cents a package, were going up
to 25 and 80 cents.
The blame is laid TO a shortage
of production, the increased num-
Der of addicts to the habit and

users of the weed are smoking
more than before" the newspaper
files OF the day explained. The
headline, however, you must ex-
plain for yourself. 1t read:

Jump
In those days is was an event to
have tourist visitors. 1t was news
when there were automobiles from
nine states with owners camped
in the city park. Most distant were
from Pennsylvania and New York.
The press account of the day read
They pitch their tent, unload
and rest the first day in town.
If the owner is a mechanician he
overhauls his motor on the sec
ond and takes his family for
trips around the valley on the
second day. On the third day he is
on his way again.
Some remain as long as a week,
resting and seeing the valley"
Owing TO the present housing
shortage many persons have been
living at the park IN tenrs for the
past several months and when
asked if they did not find tins
mode of living irksome and incon-
venient they stated that they en-
jOyed it."
That was 20 years ago and Ell
Centro is still suffering from the
present housing shortage. But
there aren't any tents in the city
park TO go TO, now
