AN ADMIRAL SPEAKS
{ Riverside Press

William H. Sandley, retired admiral
of the navy, said in a recent talk to the
Young Mems Board of Trade in New
York:
You fellows have got to get war-mind
ed"
One by one, the admirals, the generals
and the politicians will lay their cards
on the table. Impatient of the slowness
of propaganda, they will declare them
selves in favor of war.
This is good time to read Mark Twain
again In his book mysterious Stran-
GER he tells the story of war as follows:
There has never been ust war, never
an honorable one-on the part of the in
stigator of the war. The loud little hand
ful-as usual-will shout for the war.
The pulpit will-warily and cautiously
object at first the great, big, dull bulk
of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and
try to make out why there should be
war, and will say, earnestly and indig-
nantly, 1T is unjust and dishonorable,
and there is no necessity for it.
Then the handful will shout louder =.
presently the anti-war audiences will thin
out and lose popularity.
Before long you will see this curious
thing: the speakers stoned from the plat
form, and free speech stranged by hordes
of furious men who are still in their Sc
cret hearts at one with those stoned
speakers-as earlier-but do not dare
say so.

Defense and The Labor Board

The National Labor RelatiOrI
Board, bone of contention in con-
gress, in labor circles and among
employers. has suddenly become
involved in the American defense
program.
Controversy arose when Attorney
General Jackson was asked to rule
on whether a firm engaged in de-
fenSe production was guilty of
Wagner Act violations if the board
said it was, or whether 1t was
up to the courts to make the deter
mination. Jackson said the board
had the power to tag any firm as a
violator-and that the ruling would
have to stick until court reversed
it.
Trouble is, it takes many months
usually before court can hand
down its findings, even after the
Labor Board has disposed of the
case.
1t stands to reason that de-
fense program. to reach its highest
efficiency, must depend largely on
the men in the factory. Any en-
ployer who might seek to exploit
his workers for his own profit
should, of course, be penalized. But
it must be the offender the en-
ployer-not national defense-who
is punished.
Charges brought before the La
Dor Board are often technical, open
to wide Interpretation. The board
does not conduct its cases in
judicial manner Few of the GUS
tomary courtroom rules apply.
Furthermore, the makeup of the
board and the Wagner Act itself
have reused considerable argument.
At the moment there are only
two members of the board--Dr. Will
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-16

liam Ieiserson and Edwin s. Smith.
]. Warren Madden, whose term
has expired, has neither been re-
appointed nor replaced.
Leiserson and Smith are perpe-
tually at odds over matters or
fundamental policy, The economic
and political beliefs of the third
man on the board will therefore
be an all-important factor.
The national defense program
seems a pretty large item to hand
over to a non judicial body in which
few people have complete faith TO-
day. Under the present system, the
board might arbitrarily designate
any firm involved in case before
it as violator of the Labor Act.
And if such a decree barred that
firm from obtaining defense con-
tracts, valuable time could be lost
until a court handed down its de-
cision.
Nothing more important than the
defense program has ever hit tins
country. 1t is not thing to be
meddled with. 1t is the clear duty
of the government to guarantee
that defense building goes on,
without delay, free of profiteering,
free of politics.

YOU NEVER ADVANCE
BY STANDING STILL

There's an old backwoods saying that
"Venison don't walk in the door"
1t is saying Ell Centre has particular
cause to heed right now.
In couple of weeks the state highway
commission is going to hold meeting to
discuss and possibly set up its budget
for the next biennium. High on the list
of matters for consideration by the COM
mission is the proposition to build all
underpass in Ell Centre. Thus far the
commission has not been unfavorable to
the proposal Neither is there any I'M
portant unfavorable feeling in Ell Centre
fact so rare as to be almost historic.
We need the underpass. We have need
ed it badly for years, but there has been
little opportunity to get it until now
without penalizing ourselves. 1t will re-
lieve traffic congestion, modernize our
municipal street system in the downtown
area, make Ell Centro more attractive to
tourists, remove the danger of tragic
deaths at the present outmoded railroad
crossing. Nobody who is not resident
of Ell Centre can entirely realize the vital
need we have for this project.
Perhaps it is that realization, driven
home by the constant presence OF the
existing hazard which has united this
community so thoroughly behind the
underpass proposal There are few left
today who oppose it. Some of the few
undoubtedly voice true conviction-not
against the underpass proposal, but
against the proposed routing of traffic.
The selfish interest of others who oppose
the project is evident to anyone who will
examine motives. That these are so Woe
fully in the minority-so much so that
they have ceased to be factor to reckon
with-is a proof in itself of the entirely
praseworthy nature of the proposed
project.
But the fact remains that "venison
don't walk in the door"
Our city council, devoting its efforts
to building better capital city for I'M
perial Valley, has worked hard for the
underpass. The chamber of commerce
has accomplished much in attempting to
bring the project to fruition. A lot has
been done. So much, in fact, that we
seem to be within sight of the goal. 1t
would be tragic blunder to relax our
efforts now. Rather, we should redouble
them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.- The
build-up TO get congress to make
American loans available to Great
Britain has already begun, with ia
cit administration approval. Mean
while, the governments own fig
ures show that right now, at least.
Britain still has ample resources
to finance war purchases in the
United States.
When the war began, British
investments in the United States
according to U. S. Department of
Commerce figures) stood at slightly
more than 100000. In addi-
ton, British owned dollar balances
in the United States totalled $751;
100000.
During the first year of the war.
the empire sent little over bill
lion in gold to this country. About
5000 100000 of the dollar balances
were used up, plus the proceeds of
the liquidation of some S150000, 900
in securities.
British security holdings, IN
other words, still stand at approx
imately s2,65O,OOO0OO, while dollar
balances of about S400,000,000 are
available.

NOBODY WILL COAX US; WE'VE
GOT TO PRESENT OUR CASE

1t would be doubly tragic if Ell Centro
should lose the underpass through false
sense of security which might convince
us that it is within our hands already.
We can't stay home and remain inactive
on the theory that the matter is already
settled in our favor If we tried it, just
one active, selfishly-motivated individual
could actually cancel out the desires of
the thousands who are on the other side
of the fence.
We've got to present our case to the
commission in one final, convincing argu-
ment If we fail to do so, the fault must
rest with the men in leadership who are
charged with carrying out the desire of
the greatest number of people We ex-
pect confidently that they will not fail.
The underpass, besides meaning the
removal of an old hazard, will bring
hundreds Of thousands of dollars into
business channels in Ell Centre. That
alone makes it worth working for, and
in the long haul that is only a minor
consideration.
You never advance by standing still.
Ell Centre tAn never hope to improve
appreciably if through municipal lazi-
ness, short sightedness, or for any other
reason, it does not seize this chance.

The index for July shows the
effect of efforts to bring about q
better balance of supply with de-
mand The rate of crude oil pro-
duction declined from the June
level of 124 to 100. This redue-
ton in crude output was accom-
panied by decreased refinery opera
tions. however, with the result that
the crude stock index remained I'M
changed at "a per cent of the 1886
81 average. Motor fuel demand
registered less than the usual sea-
sonal increase which was reflected
in a decline of 4 points in this
index to lis.
Motor fuel stocks have been at
excessive levels throughout this
year. The index for these stocks
has varied from 40 to 146 since
December and stands at 142 for
July. Based on the recommends
tiOns In the Apr. report of the IP. A.
A. Committee on Balance of Supply
with Demand, this index should not
exceed a maximum level OF 100 by
October which would call for re-
duction of at least points per
month during the third quarter Of
the year. To accomplish this. it
is evident that either consumption
of gasoline must show a marked
increase or refinery output must be
further reduced.
The figures for crude oil and
gasoline prices dropped from the
June level continuing a trend which
has existed throughout 1910.

first six months of 1870 the index
