Rescue Work Is Called
First Postwar ProbIsm

Whatever the outcome of the war,
writes DR.. Vera Micheles Dean, re-
search director of the Foreign Policy
Association, in q book just published,
I'VE must be prepared to pass
through a sort Of twilight zone be-
tween war and peace period Of
receivership and stock taking"
In the book, called The Struggle
for World Order" published by the
association, the author adds:
During this period what We shall
need most of all will not be q formal
peace conference or q new, hastily
rigged-up international organization,
but concerted efforts on the part
of the survivors to organize rescue
work on world scale
There will be millions OF people
to feed, to clothe, to rehouse. to re-
educate in the ways OF peaceful liv-
ing. Only when this task of hui
man rehabilitation has been accom-
plished. will it be possible to sit
down in an atmosphere OF relative
calm to discuss such questions as
territorial adjustments. aoministra-
ton Of colonies. access to raw ma
terials and settlement of financial

AN EMULATION OF THE
COUNTY FARM BUREAU
Unique.

unique.
That one word best describes the place
in the community held by the Imperial
county farm bureau.
The organization, which Saturday held
its annual conference in Ell Centre, can
not be compared to any service club or
civic organization in existence. In the
breadth of its interests and the potential
scope of its accomplishments, the farm
bureau stands alone. In its power for
guiding public opinion and moulding pub
lie policy, the farm bureau has few
equals.
All this is true to a degree on the
national scale, through the American
Farm Bureau Federation, but it is true
without reservation in the local scene,
through the county farm bureau.
Because of its unique position, the
farm bureau here is in a position to do
much for the general advancement of the
community. In doing so, the farmers
would advance their own interests, for
Imperial Valley is largely an agricul-
tural community, and cannot move
ahead without prosperity for farms and
farmers.
The farm bureau has done great deal
of good for all of the valley, and will con-
tinue to do so. Everyone must recognize
this fact, and should express sincere ap-
probation accordingly. But in this COM
ing year, when there are so many things
to do in our valley, it will not be enough
for any agency simply to continue old
efforts without new pressure. We need
not the same effort, but greater effort;
not the same work, but more work; not
the same progress, but more progress
And its very nature fits the farm bu-
reau to form the spearhead of a redou-
bled drive to give Imperial Valley the
things she needs in 1941.
Those things are numerous. They in
clude refunding, drainage. farm credit.
greater sale of public power, complete
operation of the All American canal.
opening of Eastside Mesa lands. more
small farms and fewer large holdings
these, and a score of other related things.
The greatest good the farm bureau
could accomplish, or any other Organiza-
ton could accomplish. would be to work
untiringly, intelligently and endlessly for
the accomplishment of these objectives.

CALIFORNIA
PAYROLL PLAN
San Diego Tribune-Sunl

(San Diego Irlbune-Sun)
Our Golden State is noted for many
things besides its SalubriouS climate.
Among other oddities, we have a reputa-
ton for producing more crack-bralned
cults and schemes than any other COM
munity in the whole world, of cOmpar-
able size and population.
Also, it is now plainly evident that
there is something about California that
makes promoters of fiscal follieS difficult
to discourage, for, after being defeated
at the polls twice, the apostles of Ham
and Eggs and $50 every Thursday are
back in the ring, showing no signs of wear
and tear and ready to begin a new battle
on behalf of "betterment of economic con-
ditionS and for reform of the financial
and economic structure. SO far as it has
been possible to ascertain, in their earlier
attempts to achieve these laudable OBJ
iectives the only persons who bettered
their economic conditions were the pro-
moterS. AS the man in the street used
to say, it is nice work if you can get it.
So the news has come from Sacrament
to that the tWice-defeated promoters of
Ham and Eggs have filed a new plan call
ed the Payroll Guarantee Association,
Inc, with headquarters at Los Angeles
The attraction for support this time is
$50 week for every person over so, and
$40 weekly for every person between y
and so while employment is unavailable
at a minimum of SIC week Sponsors
of the new prospectus announced that
I'VE will circulate an initiative petitior
for state constitutional amendment"
And there is the key to this continuing
plague of futile and costly eIectioneer-
ing and balloting on schemes born in the
fertile minds of men who ALWAYS see that
they get their own financial rewards,
whether anybody else gets anything or
not The California legislature needs to
examine closely the initiative law and to
find ways and means to make it function
fairly without serving as a profitable
plaything for irresponsible schemers
with sinister designs on the pocketbooks
of gullible citizens who hope for the best
but Invariably get the worst when they
invest their meager dimes in cleverly
painted rainbowS.

DESERVED REPUTATION
(Santa Monica OutlOOk)

NOdHld MONICA OuIIOOhJ
The withdrawal from the American
Youth Congress of the National Student
Federation of America is deserved repu-
diation of that cOmmunistic organization
by the representatives of approximately
100 American colleges.
This is hopeful and refreshing sign
of the times. 1t demonstrates has
been pretty we'll understood befOre-that
the half-baked radcalism Of the social.
ed Youth Congress has been Il camou-
flage. 1t did not represent the youth of
America The federation in its resolu-
ton of withdrawal frankly denies that
the congress fulfills its avOwed aim of
representing American youth.
The plea by a representative of the
congress that the charge Of red domina-
tion of the congress had been made by
those opposed to fair labor standards"
and other social gains was so fIimsy
that it had no effect. The federation's
action was not taken until its committee
had made searching investigation which
fully justified it.
The attempt by communists and SINH
lar SubverSve elements to create the false
impression that the young people Of Am
erica sympathize with them has failed
1t has secured more publicity than it de-
served and has alarmed those who did
not know how small a clientele it rep
resented and how largely the member
ship was recruited from New York City
radicals and not from the great body Of
American youth. The federation has per
formed public service in repudiatng

FARM PROGRAM
IN DOUBT

The kind Of farm legislation
which the administration will seek
from this congress is not yet clear
The November election, which saw
the New Deal losing ground in
many farming areas, came as an
eye opener to the Department OF
Agriculture, and experts there have
been gcing over the present farm
program with a fine-toothed comb.
Production controls Of some sort
seem certain to stick. sell conserVa-
ton measures will doubtless be
continued. and extension Of the
food stamp plan is quite likely.
Beyond that. the administration
farm program is pretty much III
doubt
Another question mark is the
matter Of legislation governing
strikes in defense INDUSTRIES. The
Vultee aircraft strike disturbed
congress greatly. and Various bills
TO curb the unions p0yer were IN
troduced. Probability d that none
Of these VIII be pressed very harC

It would be fine if the United
States faced the simple decision of
whether or not it wished to go to
war.
But it does not. That momen-
tous decision now rests largely with
others. with circumstances and de
VelcpmentS, not all of which we
can foreSee.
Our key decision has now been
made-all aid to Britain short of
actually going to war. In line with
carrying out that policy, we shall
face a series of more concrete de-
cisiCns in detail Every new phase
of the aid-tO-Britain campaign, eV-
cry new means and kind Of aid
extended, means a separate prob
lem, a new decision
1t is along the line of that series
Of concrete proposals for further
aid that the battle of public opin-
ion must now be fought.
ANY one Of these new setups MAY
lead to a declaration of war against
the United States by Germany
Italy, Japan, or ali three, We
might as well face that. The Unit
ed States is net going TO declare
war against any CT them. But it
has decided on its own course IL
the light Of reason, justice and
right. It will steer that course. If
there is any War-declaring. some
body else must do it. We face the
fhct that they may
It is very hard to see how the
United States course can be in
terpreted as war. BY whom? BY
nations which dumped seasoned
troops. trained pilots and bombers,
as we'll as unlimited material into
a civil war in Spain-and said 1t
was not war? BY a country which
has had vast armies conquering
half of a neighbor country for
three years-and says it is not
war? By countries which receive a
constant and quite similar stream
of war supplies from Sweden and
back up those coun-
tries claim to neutrality?
It is indeed difficult TO see how
countries in those positions could
claim that the sending Of war sup
plies to Britain is an act Of war.
But they might. To that extent the
decision is no longer our own.

cy has been made. We Will not be

HoRywoods Fads, Fancies and Foib|es

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 6. All over

his surprise, as he entered the
office. the executive barked: Let's
figure you came in here to hit me
for a job as this companys man
agcr ard head of pubic relations.
What kind of program have you

NO" said the other, Il haven't

STRANGLEHOLD ON JOBS

Aliens, women. and high labor union
fees which reliefers cannot pay to secure
private jobs are major causes for an in
crease in SRA case loads, the Phillips
joint legislative committee discovered
last week.
There should be little trouble dealing
with aliens on relief once California gets
hardboiled with the professional social
service sob sisters. There is nothing
much that can be done about women on
relief until Jobs which they can fill are
opened up. Worst of all in society
where the common good is supposed to
be the universal goal is the fact that la
Dor union racketeers are allowed to keep
penniless but willing laborers out of
job, simply because the poor devils are
unable to pay tribute.
1t is nothing in the world but a policy
of refusing opportunity to the man who
needs it housekeeping man down once
he gets there.
One of two things must be done: the
control of jobs by labor unions must be
broken. or the unions must be brought to
realize that they have duty to the man
who is out of 10, whether he is a union
member or not.
1t is problem which should be solved
by the unions themselves, but unless they
do solve it, the people as whole will
have to step in
