Officials of the Standard and

est exporters from these islands,
were consulted in the long, difficult
negotiations which produced the

(The United States and British
governments, according to state
ments in commons, also have kept
close touch with the negotiations.
Japan long has desired to increase
her oil imports from the Dutch
islands so as to lessen her depend
ence on United States and British

occupation of Holland, leaving the
Indies in a weakened position, pro-
vided an opening for new Japanese

lin view of the large American

ened to raise new frictions in the

DANGEROUS AND
UNLAWFUL
(Santa Ana Register)

(Santa Ana Register)
When an arresting officer is told by
hlgher-upS to reduce charges against a
man he has arrested it's time something
drastic is done about it.
Just such an occurrence took place in
Huntington Beach early Sunday morning
when prominent Santa Ana man was
arrested on charges of drunken driving
and later the arresting officer was order
ed to reduce the charges to reckless driv-
ing
The man who was arrested was pro-
nounced drunk" by the examining physi-
clan. A drunk driving charge against
the Santa Anan followed and he was
placed In Jail until he Sobered up. Later
he was released on bond. However, be-
tween the time he was arrested and the
time the report was made to the highway
patrol and sheriff's office the charge had
been reduced from a felony to msde-
meanor.
If this motorist was so drunk that he
had to be confined to a cell he certainly
was too drunk to be behind the wheel of
an automobile and should be charged
with drunk driving Under no stretch of
the imagination can we see how the
charge could be reduced lawfully.
1t wasn't lawful The arresting Off
Ger should have stood by his guns. but
as he said later to other officers, Il don't
want to lose my job. l was behind the
eight BALI if | didn't reduce the charge"
1t was unlawful on the part of two high
ups who told the arresting officer to
reduce the charge. They are elective of
flcers In taking their oath of office
they swear to uphold the law, an oath
similar to that police officer takes when
he is appointed to the force.
No peace officer need fear losing his
job because he is doing his duty This
applies to every peace officer in Orange
county. The Register is ready to give
the light of publicity to any elective Off
Ger who threatens, coerces or orders an
undering to disobey the law. With prop
er publicity the good citizens will protect
peace Officers doing their duty
Doing something under the guise of
being good fellow" may be all right in
its way, but being a good fellow by
getting some drunk person turned loose
on the highways so he can kill or MAIN
innocent people is another story Every
time drunk driving charge is reduced
and every time Judge hands out light
sentence to drunk driver a crime has
been committed

THE WAR NEARER
Feather River Bulletin)

Now that America has released the
Sperry bombsight to England, and is
about to deliver 26 of the flying fortress
es to that nation, this country is practi-
cally up to its neck in the war with Ger
many, and common sense suggests that
we ought to go all the way.
Australia and New Zealand are look
ing more and more to the United States
for protection in the event that their
mother country loses to Germany, when
Japan is likely to covet the Antipodes
If it is agreed that this would be the stu
alton if England is defeated, and if AM
erica is inclined to defend the Antipodes,
we ought to start defending them now by
admitting that we are the ally of Eng
land and declaring war on Germany
That certainly appears to be the honest
course to follow.
Hitler doesn't want us in the war If
he did, he has already been provided with
sufficient excuse to declare against us,
in view of our aid to England. SO far,
he has done thorough job of ignoring
the United States But if he wins against
Britain, we are going to have TO deal with
him. We ought to make up our minds
now what we want to do, and move ac-
cordingly.

The sweep is already in motion

The administrators labor advis-
ers are giving serious thought to
finding some new means to head
off and/or settle labor squabbles.
Most ambitious of these plans is
taking shape under the wing of
Defense Commissioner Sidney Hill
man. 1t aims at setting up region
al boards, probably joint employer
worker affairs, whose job it would
be to keep in constant touch with
all important plants, offer media
tion and conciliation services con-
stantly, and in general try to keep
differences from reaching the strike
stage.
If and when put into final form
and okayed by the Defense Gem

be set up under the commission by

THE FLU, THE WAR
AND The MIND

Imperial Valley, along with every
other county in California and a great
many places in other states, is suffering
a great deal of discomfort these days
from an epidemic family reminiscent of
although not nearly as serious-as that
of 1918.
Strangest thing of all is that this mild
influenza, which will probably spread
entirely across the country before it is
over, should come this year in the great
est strength since 1918. For, now as it
was then, most of the world is at war.
Doctors have long declared that the
strain and stress of modern high speed
living creates" many illnesses and man
ufactures' many invalids. 1t is not their
claim that these illnesses are imaginary
far from it. 1t is their contention,
simply, that the strain of living all the
time under high pressure causes in the
individual maladies which he would not
otherwise suffer.
Perhaps in such scientific basis lies
the explanation for the current epidemic
of influenza.
In the last few months all of us have
been under a mental strain greater than
any in the previous 20 years. 1t is in
duced by the fact that half of the world
is today at war, and by the further dam
ger that we, ourselves, may not long be
able to avoid war Such strain, sapping
our energies and wasting our mental pow
erS, is bound to have a telling effect on
our physical well-being
What can we do about it? Not great
deal, if we throw up our hands and sue
cumb to every little worry that is going
around A lot, if we use the full power
of will that is ours, to accept the newt
able without worry, merely doing our
best to keep our own lives and policies
on an even keel.

NUMBER ONE MUST
FOR STATE OFFICIALS

Statistics make pretty poor reading
most of the time, but here are some that
point directly to the pocketbook of every
person in California.
The cost of state government in Cali
fornia has increased 45 per cent in the
last five years. California spent $780,
490,221 more in 1910 than in 1886. 1t
spent s10,538, ,945 more in 1910 than in
1889 Each year since 1886 has shown
sharp increase in the cost of govern
ment
A month or so ago. when federal Off
Gals were announcing the gigantic new
increases in federal expenditures neces-
sary to finance the national defense pro-
gram, state officials here and elsewhere
leaped into the breach with promises to
cut state expense to the bone, in order to
help bear the burden of greater federal
taxes
Now that the recognition of the need
for national expenditures has become an
established fact and no longer a mental
shock. it is more imperative than ever
that the people call upon their state Off
Gals to keep these promises. We cannot
stand an increase in state expenses next
year such as we had this year
Politicians are too liable to make prom
ises about economy, then forget them
when the time comes to draw up the
budgets and appropriate the money This
is one time they had better not forget, or
every taxpayer in California will be as
flat as his pocketbook
Business is better in California. Indus
trial employment is up % per cent. Pay
rolls are up 27 per cent over last year
Production in basic industries has in
creased - per cent. These things mean
that existing taxes should bring in far
greater state income.
Not only should there be no increase
in state taxes-there should be decrease.

Moreover. at its recent annual
meeting, the manufacturers group
adopted a resolution maintaining
prices should be equitably related

costs. 1t further disapproved using
the conditions resulting from the
present crisis in world affairs as a
means to extract unjustifiable pro-
fits from the American consumer.
AS the consumer wants more and
better food for less cost and as
the farmer wants higher prices for
what he raises, that almost makes
it unanimous.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-12-08

The antitrust division of the
United States Department of JUS
tice has announced a natiorf- wide
investigation of trade restraints
which allegedly result in increased
food prices to the consumer and
decreased crop prices to the farm
er.
The action has been prompted
the department says, by evidence
that food industries and some
wholesale and retail distributors
function badly, hiking particularly
the prices for bread, milk, meat
fish, cheese and canned and fresh
fruits and vegetables.
The government claims that be-
tween 1913 and 1920 food process
aors and distributors received 40 to
48 cents from every dollar spent
for food by the consumer and that
since then they have been getting
from SO to so cents. On the other
hand, the farmer who used to get
from 50 to 60 cents, now gets the
short end.
The result to the consumers with
slender pocketbooks is malnutrition,
for the farmer it is often ruin.
The government claims poor crop
prices caused one farm in four to
be foreclosed between 1880 and
1886. Millions of farming people
have moved to the cities.
AS result of the high feed
prices about 45 million Americans
get too little to eat, says the gov
