THE PAST GIVES
UP ITS SECRETS
Nevada State JournaI)

No new worlds TO conquer? Nothing
more to be learned about this earth and
its history? No more frontiers? Moth
ing more for researchers to do because
explorers have raked the globe with a
fine tooth comb and have found every
thing there is to be found?
That may be the idea in the minds OF
some folk who have witnessed the van
fishing of the dark spots on the world
maps and have learned OF the .penetra-
ton by intrepid men into virtually every
place hitherto believed inaccessible. But
the fact that much still remains hidden
is confirmed by the mystery which en-
velops the story of the lncaS and ANtees,
and of the new discoveries year after
wear of the life of these ancient cIVlllZa-
tons in the western hemisphere.
The latest news from the jungle tells
of excavations which have uncovered
cities above the clouds, cities that flour
ished in prehistoric times IN South Amer
lea. Already stripped of the immunity
ing wrappings of many hundreds of years
of accumulation of earth and forests, the
cities wiped out by time are now open To
the gaze of the twentieth century.
One hint of the high development OF
the civilization of the South Americans
in ancient days is found in the discovery
OF masonry WOEh WHICH llsdlS liiS ott
pendous Egyptian Pyramids and Angkor
in French Indo-China.
The zeal and the learning of the back
ers and leaders and workers on these
expeditions sharpen the spearhead of
the forces which seek to penetrate dark
mss and to widen the horizon which stead
lily converts the prehistoric into the his
toric.
There were no airplanes, no bombs and
10 armored tanks in that far off day to
be used in destroying civilization. There
were no radios and the world. to those
who directed and no doubt proflted by
the grandiose scheme, was small indeed.
Those schemes and the cities with them
were blotted out centuries ago. The same
fate lies in store for the schemes of to-
day, prhaps not the cities, and yet man
kind is made to suffer because of vanity
and quest for power that in itself pre-
walls for only a moment.

Greece, Unhappy Orphan Of the Storm

feel kindly disposed toward the bulk
of another people; they may have
joint ambitions and projects: con-
siderations of safety or advantage
may draw them together; but
friendship is a sacred term which
applies to none of these things.
Greece has few allies today, per-
hapS: there are few armies ready
to spring to her assistance OF lend
a helping hand while she fights
SO stoutly for her independence. IT
is entirely beside the point to ar
que that Greece favored Britain
rather than Germany; to say she
refused to climb aboard the noisy
and gaudy band-Wagon now lum-
bering across Europe. She chose to
remain Greece, and to fight him
who tried to compel her by force.
Greece is no friendless orphan of
the Nazi storm. On every contin-
ent, including the new Dark Con-
tinent of Europe, she has friends in
plenty. Not so many government
hierarchies. perhaps, but indiVi-
duals, people, men and women who
admire and love her for her cour-
age TO fight for her own.
Those, too, are friendship, and
they may yet bring a powerful
weight to bear in the scales of
history

HERE'S ANOTHER CROP
WE CAN HARVEST

IN another two months agricultural
colleges throughout the United States
will graduate half million potential
expert farmers who need only land and,
in some cases, financial encouragement,
TO set themselves up in the business for
which they have undergone intensive
training.
Imperial Valley, offering the most
productive land in the nation, under fin
ancial circumstances made favorable by
the recent refunding settlement, should
not miss the opportunity represented IN
graduation of these young men.
The graduates are the kind of men this
valley needs most. The only way We can
get them to come here is by telling them
of the things Imperial county has to
offer the farmer. We can't do that in
half-hearted way, and show any success.
Our effort has got TO be an intensive one
We who live here know that the valley
has much to offer such young men. And
they, in turn, have much TO offer the val
ley. They may be divided into two gen.
eral classes: those whose parents are
well-off financially and are usually will
ing not only to finance the young mans
agricultural education but also to set him
up in business by supplying him with
land, and those who are so intensely in
terested in agriculture as life work
Ihat Iney nave WORKED Inelr OWN way
through school. Either class is desirable,
the first because he can readily obtain
money to buy farm, the second because
his very determination to finish school
indicates his future success as an expert
farmer Young men in both classes nave
the training a modern farmer needs.
How can we attract them to the valley!
One sure-fire method is to send some
body to them, to tell them about the. val
ley. Not to tell them bunkum such as
some publicity blurb writer might pre-
pare in an off moment, but to tell them
the facts-for the facts are attractive
enough in Imperial Valley.
The couny supervisors, the board OF
trade, or some such organization might
well assume the initiative IN choosing and
sending a forcefuf representative to the
outstanding agricultural colleges of the
nation, to address the young men who
will graduate in May and who will short
~ thereafter be looking for place to
settle
Expensive, yes-but if we can spend
few hundred dollars and attract half
a hundred expert farmers to the valley,
we will be repaid a thousandfold. We
need farmers more than anything else.
Our future lies in farming, and the fu-
ture of farming lies in the EXPERIENCES OF
the farmer.
The experts are available The land
is available here, at ridiculously low
prices (for the time being). Our job is to
get the experts and the land together.

Greeks OF, Record
Against Giving Up
Foot Of Territory

ATHENS, March 10 (UP)- Pre-
mier Alexander Korizis, it became
known today, had placed himself
on record against cession of single
foot of Greek soil to any aggressor"
and for continuance of Greece's
struggle for honor, independence
and liberty
Korizis stated his position in a
reply yesterday to the national Ia
borers association which had sent
message to King George assuring
him OF the support OF 100000 men,
bers of the working class to carry
ON the war.
The message from the iabors as
Socation said that:
I'VE will not cedc a single foot
of Greek soil to any aggressor,"
korizis said. This assurance from
the Greek workers gives us the
best proof that the spirit of rcsis-
tance is not dead

The British are Waging an eX-
cessive blockade in hope of starving
out Germany but the blockade is
ineffective so far as the war is con-
cerned," Darlan said
He cited as proof that Germany
was going to release 100000 quin-
tails out of 100000 quintals of
French wheat which had been ear
marked for the German army of
occupation. "a quintal is % pounds)

that the blockade alone is powerlesS

Germany but touches only people
who are not taking part in the war,

Second, at what price level will
the tax be applied? An average

they ship their vile and ware to

damage? If the latter, you are tax

The point is to get back to an F.

Then, how about pyramiding the
tax? If the hair dye manufacturer
is taxed he adds tax hairs to his
price to the packager. The pack

retailer passes it all on with full

And up goes the cost of living.
