Preliminary census figures as released

County's population as 59,65l. The census
of 1890 gave the valley population Of 60,

gains prevalent throughout California,
showed a loss OF some 1852.
We are not proud of this decline. Iii
fact, ii will come as a shock to those SIN

leaders who have given fully of their
time, effort and often of their money TO
improve and build this valley. Some
have optimiStcally believed that the coun--
ty would show population of 10000

a loss of Mexican population. Funda-

NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT
W all Street JournaD

Last weeks exchange of views between
Secretary Hull and the German govern
ment on the subject of the Monroe Doc
trlne contained nothing novel on our side
of the case. Nor need much weight be
given to the German contention as rep
resenting the "theory' actually held by
German political students of the case
1t is extremely unlikely that in the last
century and a quarter the essence of the
doctrine has escaped their knowledge.
The essence is extremely simple 1t con-
Germs itself solely with the peace and Sc
curity of the United States and affirmS
quite painly that any aggression or in
reference from outside with the status
quo in this hemisphere is a threat against
us and will be so treated. There is no
room for argument on the point, much
less for dialectics. We have put the world
plainly upon notice where We stand we
stand precisely where we have always
stood and will continue to stand there 50
long as we arc able to stand at all as a
free nation.
This being clear, the matter resolves
itself simply into a question Of force Any
attempt at aggression by force on the
part of any outside power against any Of
the Apercan republics is now and will
be equivalent TO aggression against the
United StateS and will be met with force.
