Fight Back

Their way of life may seem TO
us abominable. as it undoubt-
edly does to the Creator. But
no wise parent-least of all God
lis going to step in and protect
little Johnny from the horrid
bully across the railroad tracks
unless little Johnny is willing to
put up a scrap for himself as
well.
And that applies exactly 10
the plight of the Allied Nations.
We profess 10 have the finest
standards on earth. Then let's
prove il. If we were so good.
why did we let the Germans and
the Japs openly construct a
worldwide hell while we loafed
around pinning medals on our
selves?

Get Going

The truth is. we never were
as good or as interested in good
ness as we thought we were.
We never had as clean or kindly
or fair a civilization as we
claimed TO have. There were
always people among us who
were as ignorant, as wretched
and abused as any peasant in
Japan.
There were always among us
those who were as greedy. ruth
less and bestial aS any Berlin
storm trooper. We could have
and should have faced this fact
long ago and got busy doing some
thing about il. But we didn't.
So the other fellow went his
savage way and now we find his
filthy foot upon our neck.
So what? So stop your whin-
ing. Stop passing the buck TO
God. IL you want goodness TO
triumph get going.

at Helix at LaMesa. near San
Diego, will be held as usual, but
the crowd will be limited to 5000.
And at Los Angeles, the Sunrise
services in Hollywood Bowl, which
in past years attracted as many
as 80 1000, were cancelled. Instead
the ceremony will be broadcast.
AS an additional precaution, mill
tary officials will release service
men only in small groups to at
tend church.
In Imperial Valley, services for
the armed forces will be conducted
at the two training centers-Camp
Seeley and the inland marine base
At Seeley, services will be con-
Quoted starting at 8 a. m in the
recreation hall, with Rev. E. A. An
derson of BraWley officiating. No
special leaves will be granted to
the soldiers, but this is compen-
sated for in a special musical pro-
gram and al Easter dinner, tables
for which will be decorated by the
Junior Red Cross.
The Red Cross juniors also will
distribute 70 baskets at the county
farm.
Other valley celebrations planned
include Sunrise Services in each
community. with regular and spe,
cial services both morning and eve
ming at all churches.

Valley Joins in
Easter PraYers

Imperial Valley Sunday will join
with the rest of Christendom in
solemn rejoicing at the resurrection
of the Christ. and in a rededica-
ti2n of the spirit to the teachings
of the Saviour of Mankind.
Not in Is years has Easter Sun
day held SO sad a meaning for
Americans as Easter 1912.
The parallel between the blood
that drenched the cross at Calvary
and the blood that thousands Of
American boys are shedding on the
far-flung battle fields of the world
was an almost universal theme for
Easter this year
And so on this Easter Sunday,
Christians will take time out from
their efforts against the doctrines
that have brought Cn the carnage
of war, and repeat after the Son of
God:
Father forgive them. They know
not what they do
Yet war cast its shadow on Eas-
ter prayers.
Military officials in California
have prohibited the traditional
mass gathering of wcrshipers at
Sunrise Services. The famous rites

mately five miles from the spot
where two trestles were burned on
the main line of the railroad at
Tortuga siding south of INLAND last
Sunday. The scene of the bridge
destruction was south of the canal
damage near the Elmore ranch last
Monday.
Footprints found near the bridge
destruction of Saturday morning re-
sembled those found near the burn
ed bridges near inland.
Deputy Sheriff Guy Wood of Nj
land had a man in custody whom
he thought might have been respon-
sible for the fires, as his footprints
resembled those found near the two
fire scenes. Investigation, however,
had not reached the point where
definite information could be re-
leased.
FBI ON HAND
Agents of the federal bureau of
investigation, deputy sheriffs, and
railway officers flocked to the scene
of the fires as soon as notified and
asked military authorities to send
men to place guard around the
area SO no evidence would be de-
stroyed.
The bridges destroyed Saturday
were 20 feet long and separated by
a roadway. One trestle crossed B
drain of the irrigation district and
the other crossed B lateral canal.
Charred bits of the trestles were
found floating in the lateral canal
and drain great distance from
the fire scene, officers said.
FIRE DISCOVERED
When the fire was discovered be-
tween and am. Saturday by an
irrigator from the G. Roy Thomp-
son ranch, officers said, flames still
rose from the timberS.
The SIP company used the branch
line to pick up stock and produce
in the region through which it
passes and to carry it to the main
line of the railroad.
FBI agents in charge of the in
vestigation divided forces between
the investigation near INLAND and
the scene of the latest outrage.
Details of the progress of the in
vestigation were few because of
the isolated situation of the fire
but it was understood the military
authorities rushed men to act as
guards.

Ill lStU.
Grattan, an authority on Austal-
ian affairs, said his resignation as
EWB economic analyst cancelled
him out of the war effort "at a
critical moment in the relations in
volving Australia and the United
states" The Australians, he said,
will mot understand" his being fore
ed to resign.
The accusations against Grattan
came from two members of the
house.
Rep. Jerry Voorhis, D., Calf,
charged Thursday that the fore
word Grattan wrote for the white
paper consists all the way through
of a vigorous denunciation of this
country's foreign policy in support
to England and France"
Rep Martin Dies, D., Tex, chair
man of the un-American activities
investigation committee of which
Voorhis is a member, wrote Vice
President Wallace last Sunday that
Grattan was one of 35 officials OF
the economic warfare board who
had been affiliated with Com
munistic front organizations.
In announcing his resignation
yesterday, Grattan admitted the
foreword was critical of the Amer
ican foreign policy, but denied that
he is a Nazi sympathizer. He also
conceded that he had belonged to
the American League Against War,
said by Dies to be a CommuniStic
group, but said he had resigned in
1886 on learning its policies.
Grattan received $100 from How
ell, Soskin e. Company Publishers
for the foreword he wrote to the
German white paper. Since that
time. he said, he has ceased critiz-
ing President Rocsevelt's foreign
policy.

New China Supply
Route Pioneered
ByArmyVehic|e
By ROBERT P. MARTIN

CHUNGKING, April a..
(UP)-A U. S. Army "jeep,"
tough little squad car of Am
erica's new "army on wheels"
has conquered the precipitious
heights and dense jungles of new
India China supply route, supplant-
ing the Burma road, it was learned
today.
The "Jeep", carrying four passen-
gers, was believed to have been one
of the first motor cars to traverse
the route, described a. a "tempor-
ary one" to serve until two other
highway lines can be completed to
bring in war supplies to China.
Officials here would not disclose
the exact route the little car fol-
lowed but they indicated it was one
which would be ready for service
within a short time. The temporary
line apparently uses parts of the
old Burma road and connecting
links developed into India.
Work is progressing on two new
permanent highways to carry guns,
ammunition, planes, parts and other
materials to Chungking and other
Chinese centers from India.
SECTION ASPHALTED
off ay Ifl
more than 100 kilometers of one
route had been covered with as
phalt and the remaining section to
be completed, about the same dis
tance, would be reinforced and sur
faced with concrete. The Chinese
hope to make it an all-weather high
way to avoid Interruptions of trans
port during the long rainy season
which lasts from May through Oc-
tober.
The IIlgnJ OF thousands of In
dians from Burma also is opening
up new trails, it was learned. These
may be utilized as feeder lines with
pack animals and coolies carrying
the goods to the highway.
Air transport also is being devel-
oped to carry the most vital supplies
pending completion of the highways,
Although difficulties are being ex-
perienced in obtaining sufficient
aviation gasoline to permit wide
spread air transport between China
and India, American experts are
working on the problem and solu-
ton may be in sight. 1t was under
stood the Americans are considering
obtaining Russian fuel for the SER
vice to bring it to capacity of 300
tons of goods daily.

The two officers, then close

An increase in sugar rationing
quotas was in prospect today with
the disclosure that 100000 tons of
Cuban sugar, originally scheduled
to be used for production of indus
trial alcohol, may be made avail
able for consumer use.
Rep. Harry B. Coffee, D., Neb,
said WPB officials had told him
that increases in alcohol production
from other sources would necessi-
tate the use of only 250.000 tons OF
Cuban sugar for making alcohol,

use about 100000 tons.
