CHICAGO, May 20.-A new ma
tionwide showdown on the issue
of wage increases was presaged
today when the Big Five railroad
brotherhoods announced that on
June 10 they will demand a 80
per cent increase in all basic rates
Of pay.
The demands will be served on
all the major railroads and if
granted, will mean a pay boost of
not less than $3.50 day per man.
Negotiations will be conducted un-
der terms of the federal railway
labor act.
Brotherhood officials said the
pay boosts, affecting some 100000
operating employees, would cost
the railroads S168,000,000 a year.
Other estimates placed the figure
as high as S200,000.000

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
ON BRITISH AID
Riverside Press

We believe the great mass of the peo-
pie of the nation will be behind Presl-
dent Roosevelt in the plan he set forth
in his defense speech Sunday night. Very
few doubt that the only way to keep this
country out of war will be to give greater
aid to the British with every available
piece of war material possible.
The chief executive made it plain to
the world that this country would do all
it possibly can on behalf of the British
even in spite of the threats made by the
dictators of the Rome Berlin-TokyO axis,
and called upon industry and labor, III
fact all the people in the nation to def
initely get behind the effort to speed up
national defense.
The Presidents speech was straight
forward statement of facts. There were
many generalitieS, to be sure, there al
ways are in Mr.. RooSevelt's speeches. In
some ways we believe he might have been
more definite and specific. He stressed
the Importance of helping England but
gave us little detail as to how this Is to
be accomplished. And he failed to give
the people his reaction to many issues
which have been in the national lime
light, and seem to the bulk of the people
of vital interest.
Nevertheless we believe what he told
his countrymen-and the world at large
found a ready response in the minds
and hearts of all.
Mr.. Roosevelt's fortnight and un-
equivocal pledge that our youth shall no5
be called upon to fight overseas, although
made by him on several former occasions,
carried with it, we believe, more sim
cere promise than ever before. And we
are more or less reassured by his eX-
pressed belief that the axis powers are
not going to win this war; a belief based
on information-the latest and best avail
able.
The President has made a powerful
and patriotic plea to the people of this
country to unite in a common effort of
self-salvation. But to have a 100 per
cent response he should have gone into
some matters in greater detail. He need
have no fear that, given full confidence,
the American people will not respond far
more efficiently and enthusiastically than
if kept in the dark What the people need
to know are the facts. They can be de-
pended on to respond in the proper way
if they have them.

The new YEAR POINTS
A PERSONAL LESSON

Every one of us can learn a lot from
Harold Stewart, Imperial Valley resident,
who returned here from Los Angeles for
the holidays. Stewart is going to school.
He is going to school that teaches him
how to walk This will be happy new
year for him, because for the first time
since he was two years old, Hadold Stew
art can take a few steps now, under his
own power.
The blight of infantile paralysis which
fell upon Stewart when he was only two
years old has denied him many of the
pleasures most of US take as a matter of
course, as something which is due us, and
does not deserve a second thought.
If you think you have no reason to be
happy as this new year dawns, you
should see the happiness that lights his
whole face. You should realize the tri-
umph that is with him night and day, the
thankfulness that is in his heart. You
should hear him say. 81 have faith il
God. Why shouldn't I?''
If you could talk to him, one thing
above all others would come to you'd mind
Immediately You would say to yourself:
"This man is tasting happiness he has
never known, happiness that approach
es joyous thanksgiving-and all because
he is beginning now to do something |
have been able to do all my life. He is
beginning to walk"
Harold Stewart is grateful to friends
who made it possible for him to attend
school in Los Angeles, but, somehow, we
cannot escape the thought that his friends
should be grateful to Harold Stew
art. His friends, and the rest of us, too:
For he has shown us that we have full
some reason for happiness ourselves

HELP FROM SAN DIEGO
ON CANAL PAYMENTS

Imperial Valley will be wise to cooper
ate to the limit of her ability in helping
San Diego city and county obtain an addi-
tional water supply from the Colorado
river.
The more water San Diego takes
within reasonable limits-the more help
we shall have in paying for the All Amer
lean canal. 1t is simply matter of busi-
ness judgment to help San Diego, so that
San Diego can help US.
Originally we depended upon revenue
from the sale of power to repay the mon
ey advanced by the federal government
in building the All American Power
revenue still is our chief reliance in cas-
ing a burden which otherwise would fall
upon the valleys taxpayers. But con-
tract was completed months ago in which
San Diego agreed to bear a pro rata share
of the canals cost if she obtained water
from the Colorado river through the vail
ley's ''big ditch"
Now, with defense preparations boom
ing the population and the industry of
San Diego to new record proportions
and with the attending need for greater
domestic water supply-it appears that
San Diego will have to call for water
from the Colorado long in advance of the
date originally expected.
Sucn neeQ can De 1llled without harm
TO this valleys interests. The All Ameri-
can can carry enough water to furnish
the present Imperial Valley, the Eastside
Mesa and the Westside Mesa, and still
fill San Diego's needs.
We have nothing to lose, everything
to gain, by furnishing water to San Diego
through our new canal. San Diego needs
the water We need-or will need, short
ly--as much help as we can get to reduce
our burden in paying for the canal San
Diego's exact contribution will be fixed
when the time comes. Except for details,
however, it is already an assured fact
if San Diego gets the water It is up
to US to help her get it.

The Inside Track in Washington

possessed farmers who owned thell
own land are, for the moment, 1T
tie better off.
Usual procedure in acquiring these
tracts of land is ior the govern
ment to file what is called dec
larauon of taking. This requires
the owner to move quick, But be-
cause of the red tape involved, 1t
sometimes means that the owner
NAV not get paid for one or two
years. Result often is that the FAR
mer is made landless without hav-
ing enough money to buy new land
elsewhere.
Army authorities are doing their
best to get payments made
quickly. but the process is slow.
Sometimes the problem works
backward-as for instance, in the
four counties around Radford, Va,
where one of the biggest powder
factories in the world is being built.
So many new jobs are being opened
here that the population of the four
counties is due to double. To meet
this. FSA surveyed all the farms in
the counties and made list of
1000 which had sub-standard hous-
ING and were within 20 minutes
travel of the different employment
centerS.
FSA has proposed that it build
new homes on these farms Dur
ing the boom the homes would be
rented to the workers. AfterWard,
they could be sold to the farmers
That way, the area would avoid
both boomtime slums and subse-
Quent ghost towns"
Farm Security Administration is
trying various things TO meet the
whole situation.
Chlef problem is finding new
land in the displacement areas
and trying to keep the purchases
from sending land prices sky high.
Sometimes, where FSA can get the
land, it simply releases tracts to
the diSpossessed farmers. In some
areas OF the south it can frequent
ly get an entire plantation, on
which a number of farmers can be
established.

GOOD WILL AT
FORT DIX
(TrentOn (N.J.) Times)

One of the finest evidences of inter-
religious good will ever to be brought to
the attention of the public is that afford
ed by the action of Jewish soldiers at
Fort Dix in voluntarily foregoing holiday
leaves and offering to man the canton
ment so that those of the various Chris
tian faiths can go home to celebrate the
Yule season.
The spirit back Of this move is splen-
did reflection of democracy at its best
1t radiates generous recognition of tradi-
tions revered by other groups and unset
fish willingness to put aside ones own
rights and privileges SO that someone
else can enjoy an anniversary occasion
directly associated with his religious
views
America, happily, has always been
largely free from the intolerant antagon
isms that have caused so much trouble
and suffering in lands across the sea-
This fortunate status may be attributed
to the sort of self-effacing magnanimity
shown by the Jewish soldiers at the near
by encampment, all Of whom are deserv-
ing of the highest praise for their
thoughtfulness on the eve of Christmas.

Naturally. it is going to be i'm
possible to summon hundreds of
thousands of young men from civil
ian life into the military service
without causing hardships of vary
ing degree
But every effort ought to be made
70 minimize those hardships and
hold them down to what proves
absolutely necessary.
For instance, this has happened
many times: a young man is or
dered to report for service and
given five days grace to clean up
his affairs and cut the ties IF civil
ian life, He quits his job, gives up
his lodgings. turns over his business
if any. to others; sometimes he even
sells most of his clothes and pos
sessions. Then he reports at camp
as ordered. Given a final physical
examination there, he is rejected
threads Of his civilian life he can
gather together again.
The New York Selective Service
Administrator, Col Arthur v. Nc
Dernott. has had to issue a warn
ing to draft eligibles that they may
be thus rejected at the induction
centers, and advising them to keep
this in mind in arranging their af-
fairs. SC as to avoid, so far as pos
slble, the resulting dislocations.
To begin with. employers ought
to realize that this often happens.
and try to keep a mans job ION
Ice" so TO speak, for a few days
after he is called up, so that he
may resume it if he is rejected and
returned. Others similarly affected
might well try to show the same
consideration.
Best of all, of course, would be
to give the selectee a final physical
examination before he leaves the
home community. Whether this is
possible TO arrange or not, we don't
know. But it should surely be con-
sldered, with view to putting such
a system in effect if that proves
practicable.
If not, many of the inevitable
hardshlpS can perhaps be minimiz-
ed if selectees themselves will guard
as carefully as they can against
possible last-minute rejection, and
If those associated with them in
business and personal life will CO.
operate to the fullest possible ex-
tent.
1t is likely that the selective SER
vice system, perhaps with modifi-
cations, VIII continue for MANY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. - Your
Uncle Sans latest defense head
ache seems to be coming from TO-
coo tenant farm families, kicked off
grade A farm land by the army in
acquiring huge tracts of land all
over the country for artillery
ranges, powder factories, aerial
bombing target areas, military air
ports and cantonments.
The problem of what to do with
these unwilling "okies" has been
dumped for the moment into the
lap of the Farm Security Admins
tration which, if it had the money.
would probably spend about S30.-
O00000-or $4,000 a family-tryine
&c relocate the dispossessed. What
ever FSA does spend must be add
ed to the cost of the land, which
comes out OF the army's pocket
and goes to the land owner, or the
mortgage holder-not the tenant
farmer.
AS the United States government
seldom lets the hight hand know
what the left is doing. the FSA
crowd is usually called in after the
damage is dcne. the land acquired
and the tenants moved out. What
gets the FSA goat is that the army
seems always to need the best land
in sight, never the scrub land. Civ

want it as an airport. Or nice,

fishing a big new artillery range
and proving ground. Five hum

pack up and get out
A large number of these families

selves ousted on short notice and
who have Scant resources or none
