POsrPONING THE EVIL DAY

The debt limit Of the Nation has
been set at As billion dollars, and
some of the statisticians seem. TO be
sure that il is now that much. Dex-
ferrous bOokkeepers might subtract
paper-prOflts on unused apprOpria-
lions and get the Administration over
the hurdles till late in the present
year-even without imposing new
taxes. But the rate OF spending 80
far this year, and approval to new
fancies and facts make It definitely
sure that the debt limit will be ia
creased in 1871; and that taxes will
be heavier.

RUMANIA TALKS BACK
Christian Science MonitOr)

When a state of Germany's size and
reputation capitulates to a state like
Rumania. it is indeed news But that
happens about as often as a man bites
a dog. Reports out of Bucharest that
Germany has bowed to Rumanian
terms in a trade dispute are therefore
not particularly impressive.
The dispute concerned the trade ar
rangements between Germany and Ru-
mania. The Third Reich keeps continu-
Gus pressure on Rumania in order to as
sure the German armies of as much Oil
as may be squeezed out of Germany's
small neighbor. Other raw materials al
so are involved.
Wherever the German barter system
operates continuous negotiations accom-
pany trade Sometimes. no doubt, one
side yields a point, sometimes the other.
Lately the German negotiators have bad
to work with a shrinking list of mer-
chandise which Germany can offer Ru-
mania in return for Rumanian products.
On purely commercial grounds Rumania
naturally would resist the increasingly
unfavorable terms.
But resistance may have political con-
sequences, against which Rumania needs
to keep intact the balance which British
guarantees already provide.
At the moment Balkan floods would
provide Rumania with excuses if Berlin
inquired about delayed deliveries. But
German authorities would want to know
something about those strange reports
from Bucharsst-unless they already did
know, which is the very possibility that
makes the reports unimpresslVe.

WILL THERE BE
ANOTHER HARVEST?

Another generation must be born ana
grow to maturity before the allies can
win the war in Europe.
Eventual military and economic vic
tory within a lew years is possible, and
even likely, for the allied forces. But
no such victory will bring the peace that
is the supposed complement of a war S
end.
The seeds of another bloody harvest
are. being sown in Germany these days.

SMALL FARMS FOR
IMPERIAL VALLEY

DR.. John A Widstoe apostle of the
Church of Latter Day Saints, agreed in
principle with Imperial Valley agricul-
tural experts when he declared that
small farms are the only solution for
great many of agriculture's troubles.
If DR.. Widstoe can do something no.
body else has yet done-show us how to
obtain farmers for small farms-he will
be the most welcome visitor Imperial
Valley has had in number of years.
Perhaps part of the solution lies in
the possibility that DR.. Widstoe's church
will "colonize" a group of young Nor
mon farmers in the valley, on small
farms. They would be among the most
desirable residents any community could
have.
The Mormons are a clean living
straight thinking group, none of whom
are on relief, but all Of whom believe in
individual enterprise as the solution for
individual problems. The nation would
be better off if many other groups du-
plcated their views-on economic mat
ters and personal integrity.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
The Danger of Final Remedies

with the objectives of Representa-
tive Dies will shy off little when
they learn that he believes he has
the final remedy" for un-A American
activities in a single proposed law.
AS we understand it, this remedy
he emissions is law to compel or
ganizations with international affil-
iations to register with the State
Department, and file membership
lists. After two years of probing into
American activities, Dies, it is
reported, emissions such a bill as
final remedy
Leaving aside the question of ci-
vii liberties and the possibility of
using any such law as an instrument
of persecution of minority, will
any such proposal work? Will it
do any good at all? How can such
q law be drawn without making
a lot of potential trouble? For in
stance:
How about the International Ro-
tary and Kiwanis clubs? The IN
ternational Typographical Union?
The Federation 1nterallie des An
ciens Combattants international
veterans organizatiom The Red
Cross? The English h-Speaking union?
international Telephone and Tele-
graph? The International League of
Professional Baseball Clubs? They
all have international affiliations.
Agitational political parties are
not SO easily eliminated. In Ger
many, with instant death staring
them in the face, there are under
ground" parties opposing Nazism.
Can Dies be SO innocent as TO think
that in registry provision of this
kind he could have the final re-
medy" for anything?
Let it be said for the thousandth
time: There is only one final re-
medy' for the growth of foreign
isms" in this country That is to
produce conditions such that no
mass support will ever be drawn to

Calipatrians were amazed 20 years
ago today to awake and find that
sometime during the night a banc
of l. w W.'s had stoImed the city
iail and released a federal prisoner
who later escaped to Mexicali.
A news story announced:
"A federal prisoner said to have
been arrested as a military Stacker
was rescued from the city Jail las;
night The man was known to 5t
desperate and when placed in jal
was manacled. Sometime during tht
night members of the l. w. w. tt
which the prisoner was said to be-
long, are believed to have forcec
their way into the Jail, knocked
the manacles from the prisoner ant
aided him to escape.
"Officers found trace of him ano
trailed him to CaleXico where he
crossed the border"
Another item that appeared q
years ago was:
Forty -one cows sold yesterday al
the Earl Vencill auction averaged
Sl38.75. Thirty sold for over 500
several above $3.50 and the top
price was S215.'
