Dear Mr.. Hearst:
A s WITH many other lOya
~ citizens, the writer cannot
understand the real rea-
sons for your constant opposition
10, and criticism OF the President
In his official acts, the admlnlstra-
tion and the Congress. IL Is sug-
gested that you frankly and hon
estly state. In the columns OF your
newspapers, the reasons for your
attitude, and which do not appear

sonal enmity and prejudice, or in
the interests of the defense of our
country dOmeStically and relative

age and promote national unity.
Apparently, YOU have not, in any
instance, given the President, the
administration, or the Congress
approval or credit, for what has
been, or Is being accomplished In
the Interests OF our national de-
tense.
Logically, II cannot he accepted
! that your individual views and
opinions are infalllbIe. or that the
President, the administration and
the Congress are always wrong.
Your personal ideas and concIu-
tions are not Of greater impor-
lance or value than those Of the
average. intelligent and loyal
American citizen.
II Is not accepted. also, that
they are due on your part, IN a
delusionary idea Of omnip0tence
and lnfallibility.
II Il believed. however, that by
reason Of personal enmlty, preiu-
dices and political differences, you
are blinded 20 proper, just and fair
opinions and conclusions In mat

Take a Chance on All
Life Has to Offer You

But in spite OF all that
I'm moving right along
And taking chances!
Maybe this old world
Is going TO the dogs.
Or maybe it isn't
Maybe we humans
Are just a bunch Of
Empty-headed.
SPAWN jointed,
Knock-kneed,
=eross-eyed
Sissies, 'fraid cats
And so-'n'-sos.
Or maybe we're not
And maybe I'm

Wasting my time,
Breeding a scab on my nose
And inviting
A kick in the
Lounging pajanas
When ! keep on thinking
That life's worth while
And that I'm entitled
To a star role
But I'm gonna go
Right on thinking N
And acting accordingly.
Watch my smoke.
I'm gonna take a chance!
I'm gonna take
All the chances there are
On everything in sight!
On myself and my life,
On you and your life,
On God and whatever
He's got up His sleeve,
Maybe there's only
One life-and a bum one
And then no more.
Maybe it's a gyp game
With loaded dice
As the sneerers surmise
But, until I'm shown,
I'm gonna play II
As If / held
A full house
And royal flush
And back my bets
With all my shootin' irons,
And suppose I'm wrong7
Suppose I fail?
Suppose the croakers
And the glooms
Have the right dope,
And there isn't
Any more than this!
Why, then, at least
I'll have had the fun
o believing, and of putting
On a dandy lot OF action
While the putting was good
Which will certainly be more
Than the good guessers had!
So, going or coming, stranger,
/ stand TO win!
] dunno where I came from.
/ dunno why I'm here. -
/ dunno what we're all about,
Nor how we're s'posed to act.
But you can bet
Your last nickel on this
I'm taking chances
On this being
A right show
With right gang
And right guy behind us
And I'm betting my shirt
On the works.

The Desert Six Inches Away

States. The cutting and burning
off OF the forest cover has resulted
in such washing away of that
topsoil that now it averages only
six inches in depth
If that, too. is allowed to wash
away. the United States would be d
desert. like the vast deserts OF
China. How long would it take il
the present rate of washing away
of the precious soil continues with
out interruption? Fifty years Is
one rather alarming estimate. Fifty
years seems even closer than SIX
inches.
Probably in no period has so
much progress been made IN the
fight against soil erosion as IN the
past 10 years. Millions of trees have
been planted. thousands OF check
dams have been built to stop gully
ing. The beginnings Of tree shell
ter belt against wind erosion dot
the prairies.
1t is only a beginning. The task
of conserving our soil is basic. If
the soil goes. from which alone
man is now able to get living, all
else is in vain. So all plans aimed
at this vital form of conservation
are worth study. Cry for action.
The Wild Life Federation is pri-
marily interested, of course, in the
restoration OF those wild animals
which are rapidly disappearing. 1t
lists more than 40 species which
are either extinct or are rapidly
disappearing. Those who are un-
interested in hunting. fishing, or
natural history may be indifferent.
But soil conservation and wild
lite go together. The game diSap-
pears, not SO much because it has
been killed off as because the
forest cover is cut away and the
streams polluted. 1t will reappear
naturally when the surroundings in
which it thrives are made to re-
appear.
Thus the two problems are one,
because il Is restoration of this
forest cover, and clearing up o.
muddy and polluted streams. that
lessen the erosion that robs us CT
our soil.
This is another American heri-
tage that must not be lost while
we are intent even on more i'm
mediate things.

UNWISE TAXATION

Nobody is going to complain these days
against heavy taXes-if they are wisely
imposed.
But the wisdom of all taxes should be
thoroughly examined before they are ac-
cepted. Some of the plans proposed be-
fore congress are palpably unfair The
proposal to levy one-cent tax on all
soft drinks is an example. In the first
place, that is tax of 20 per cent, unfair
ly distributed.
But, worst of all, the tax would strike
at local industry and leave outside in
dustry unmolested in almost every COM
munity in the land. Candy bars, manu-
factured far from Ell Centre, for in
stance, would not be taxed.

FOR SELF DEFENSE
IN OUR HEMISPHERE
(Wall Street JournaD

Some members of Congress who have
been the most active opponents of any
policy which would lead to American in
tervention in the war between Great
Britain and the Axis powers are in the
forefront of those urging that President
Roosevelt seize the French controlled
islands off the coast of America.
The attitude of these gentlemen is
wholly consistent and this paper is glad
to endorse it, even though we regret the
necessity for the action urged.
Facts as generally known from news
dispatches, leave little doubt that the
Vichy government has become an appen-
dage of the Naz war machine. President
Roosevelt may have information which
leaves a margin of hope that this is not
yet true. If so, he is justified in with
holding action. If he has no such doubt,
he should forthwith notify Congress that
he proposes to seize Martinique and other
from Congress issue the proper naval
instructions. We believe that authorize
tion would be immediate and almost
unanimous.
If there is other off-shOre territory
which the President has reasonable eX-
pectation may fall under control of a for
eign power not now controlling it, he
should take similar action in respect to
it. This is matter of self-defense in a
chaotic world. No consideration of the
sasceptibilities or the diplomatic policy
of any nation on this or on any other con-
tinent should be a deterrent.
We recognize that the seizure of these
islands may very we'll involve the Amer
lean Navy in a conflict at arms. That
would be regrettable, but the seizure
won ld he in defense of the a nnrican cOn-
tinent and that is what the Navy is for
If there is armed conflict, it should
end with the seizure of the territory in
question. 1t must not be made the ex-
cuse for the continuation of the conflict
into other quarters OF the globe. 1t must
not be made a pretext for edging the
American people into world adven-
ture which they are not prepared either
in military or psychological sense.

CIVIC LEADERSHIP
A DIFFICULT TASK

1t is good news to Imperial Valley that
Ted Kipf, Holtville, has been elected
president of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce for the ensuing term-and
that j. w. Donohue will serve another
term as president of the Ell Centre cham
Der of commerce.
Their acceptance of civic leadership
will cost these men much in the way OF
time and effort, without any actual re-
muneration outside of the satisfaction of
serving their community. The least they
are entitled to is the appreciation of the
people they serve.
Election of Kipf to head the associated
chambers was happy choice, based upon
his long record of civic service. His abil-
ity cannot be questioned; his leadership
is of the highest type.
Donohue already has demonstrated ms
outstanding executive ability AS head OF
the Ell Centre chamber. His accomplish
ments should be tripled during another
term.
Both men have the ability and the op-
portunity to accomplish much for I'M
perial Valley, especially now that the
valley is entering upon new era OF
growth and prosperity. They head the
tions at time when all of our old prob
lens have been cleared away, and the
path is open for greater development
than any we have yet seen.
1t is to be hoped that Kipf and Dono-
hue, together with other civic leaders
from throughout Imperial Valley, strain
this year toward establishment of such
a central publicity and advertising agen-
cy as the valley needs if it is to take full
advantage of its new opportunities.
No chamber of commerce representing
just one valley community can discharge
the duties that such an organization
should take on. 1t is plain, also, that the
associated chambers of commercials a
central clearing house for the local
chambers, and more of a coordnating
agency than anything else, is not equip
ped to do the job. The county board of
trade most nearly fits the requirements,
but it, too, falls short, since it has become
largely a buffer for the county board
of supervisors to which embarrassing re-
quests can be referred.
None of the agencies mentioned is ade
quately financed nor stated to perform
the job Imperial Valley needs done. This
is not through any fault of their own,
but because there has not been the need
of such an agency until now and so there
has been no concerted effort to establish
one.
Kipf. Donohue and others in similar
positions elsewhere in the valley are by
the very nature of facts the men who will
have to take the initiative if a centralized,
highly organized, fully equipped agency
for publicizing Imperial Valley is to be
established. It's establishment would be
a monument to them that could not be
surpassed in the realm of civic service.
congratulations to the new presi-
dents, and more power to them.

A NAZi TAKES PICTURES
(Feather River Bulletin)

Anybody who wants a picture of the
Pulga bridge or any other part of the
Feather River Highway can buy one for
a nickel at the drug store.
The highway patrol people know this,
which is why they didn't get excited when
the occupant of car bearing the number
issued to Captain Fritz Weidemann, Ger
man consul-general at San Francisco
took pictures of his own at the Pulga
bridge two months ago-March 16, to be
exact.
Officially, the U. S. is at peace with
Germany, and its nationals are accord
ed the same rights as are those of any
other country. Although we would have
them if we were at war, we now have no
laws or regulations prohibiting the use
Of cameras, or even restricting their use
except as to actual military structures.
As a matter of fact, some citizens of
the u. S. feel that our relations with Ger
many would be clarified if war We're de-
clared. We are doing everything we can
to insure Germany's defeat by Great
Britain. If we took the only step that
remains to be taken, that of calling it
war, we would be able, under internation-
al law, to inferno consuls and their as
sistants, and any other German citizens.
