Thoughts for the Day
GREATER LENiEkCY AT
BORDER STATIONS

All Imperial Valley will welcome, on
behalf of Calexico. the relaxation OF cut
throat restrictions against aliens who
cross the international boundary to do
business in this country Well meant and
backed up by wholesome theory, never
theless the restrictions have done Tar
more harm than they have done good
They have materially crippled the trade
of Calexco merchants, and insofar as
anyone can see they have not protected
this country one whit against subverslve
aliens.
In wartime such restrictions as were
imposed at the border would be welcomed
by everyone, and understood by those on
the other side of the border. Today the
United States is not at war, however.
More than that, any aliens bent upon
entering this country for purposes of
sabotage, espionage or other Fifth Col
umn work would scott at the restrictions,
and enter anyway. They would find
way. 1t was the honest alien against
whom the recent restriction acted most
harshly.
By relaxing border restrictions, the
United States gives the honest alien his
fair due, restores to border merchants
badly needed trade, and still retains the
watchfulness of border patrolmen and
immigration inspectors against the cross
ing of undesirable aliens.
Another phase of the alien problem
and one which will help counteract any
possible damage done by the lifting of
border restrictions-is the registration
and fingerprinting of all aliens within
the United States.
Such registration Of aliens will protect
those who are rightfully in this country,
and against whom there can be no good
objection AT the same time, it will SIM
plify the work of tracing down undesir
able aliens, it will make the governments
task of counter-espionage much simpler,
and it will give this country its first
quick, complete check on the whereabouts
and doings of all of its aliens.
No one should consider for one in
slant, however, that our government can
check subversive aliens simply by clamp
ing down border restrictions or by re-
quiring all aliens to register. The most
dangerous aliens will get around the
laws. ignoring them or attempting to
circumvent them Only complete vigil
ance by the United States can prevent
the harm they would do.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-08-27
ICKES ON WILLKIE
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

Secretary Ickes is rather effective in
his nasty way When he refers to Wendell
Wilkes as "a simple, barefoot Wall
street lawyer he coins phrase that
ought to please the New Deal opponents
of Willkie nightly.
However, 1t is Just a phrase though it
might be considered to have pierced the
Willkie armor at one Of its joints
Undoubtedly, Willkie is attempting to
cover his Wall street record with the
sheep skin of rustic simplicity That is
entirely natural, for customarily the
country regards Wall street as sinister
The weakest thing about Willkie is his
Wall street, power company background.
In fact it is about the only weak spot in
his makeup so far discovered by a vigor-
ously studious opposition.
Maybe we are unduly credulous, but
We continue along the old American way
of believing man innocent until he has
been proved guilty We regard Willkie as
a very able attorney who, when he became
president of the Commonwealth and Sou
thern, took a case and did his very best
with it. demonstrating himself to be an
able executive We would be willing to
hand over to him for four years the case
of the United States. and we think if he
took that case he would do his very best
with it, for the benefit of the majority
of his clients, the people,
The fact that Willkie originated in a
small Indiana town certainly is not
against him. The fact that he made his
way to the top in industry certainly is
to his credit. When a man can do that
and keep his record 50 clear that party
dares to make him its leader he is an
exceptional man. We'd like to see such a
man in charge for while.

DOMESTIC ISSUES
STILL WITH us

Now that the California primary is by
way of taking its place in history. and
we're looking down the long stretch to-
ward November and the presidential elec-
ton, it is time for the people to remember
that mortgage holders often foreclose
on the man who is so busy watching the
dogfight in his neighbor's back yard that
he forgets the weeds growing in his own.
There will be during the coming weeks
number of politicians who will tell you
there is not time to bother about what
is happening in the United States, be-
cause we've got to keep our eyes on
Europe If anyone mentions this coun-
trys eight million unemployed persons,
these same politicians will call the speak
er traitor or worse because he's think
ing of domestic issues, when there's war
in Europe If anyone mentions this coun-
try's national debt, these politicians will
look upon him in pity for thinking of
such a thing while there is an animal like
Hitler alive in Europe.
But the raw truth is that our bodies,
including our stomachs and their need
for food are living here at home, even
though our thoughts may be on Europe
and we'd better give them a thought
now and then if we want them to keep
on living at all.
