tees, the Senate Finance committee
and the House World War Veterans
committee, that should be printed
in full and placed in every home ir
America.
In these days when we hear sc
much about making America over
in order to fit us into an interna-
tional pattern, it is most heartenine
to know that a man of Commander
Warnings standing and influence
stands firmly for the preservation Of
our system of government. / wish
that there were space at my disposal
to incorporate his entire address. AS
there is not, l can only give a few
extracts that have exceptionally
strong appeal to those of us who yet
believe that we have a pretty good
government and that we should pom
der long and carefully before we per-
NIT ourselves to be drawn into a new
order that will lead to no one knows
where. Here are a few gems from
Commander Warnings address:
81 yield to no one in admiration
for the honest, patriotic, hard-work-
ing American labor man. Neverthe-
less, the American Legion knows
that we have reached a crisis in this
country when the American people
must plainly distinguish between an
honest and patriotic union worker
and the selfish, subversive racketeer
who has put his personal gain before
the security of his country. Regard
less of the merits of any labor dis
pute, the American Legion places
the life and security of the fighting
men at the front above all other con-
siderations. No strike and no shut
down and no showdown, regardless
of the number of civilians involved,
is worth the life and blood of one
soldier on the battle line.
"Our only aim is to win this war;
nothing else can matter now. We
must not slacken our war effort by
stopping to plan the division of the
world in the future. We cannot
pause in the midst of battle to decide
sociological questions nor to deter
mine how we can bring the idealistic
freedoms to the people of all the
world We will be unnecessarily
wasting too much of our time and
vital efforts on these idealistic and
perhaps impractical theories. Such
theories have no place in a war to
the death and can serve only to dis
tract us from our wartime objective
of killing the Japs and the Germans
and in killing as many of them in the
shortest possible time.
LET us be brutally frank about
this. Let us cast aside the trimming
and scrape off the varnish and ask
ourselves plainly, what are we fight
ing for? We are fighting to preserve
this country of ours, to preserve its
ideals and its material wealth, to
preserve its ideals because these
ideals guarantee to us our Individual

Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

When people here or everywhere
else dream of better and a richer
life, and even talk to one another
about such life, what do they mean
by better and richer? There is apt
to be confusion in thought about the
goal which these terms open up into.
Explaining the terms may mean very
little or nothing to some people. Some
of us would be led astray, others
would perhaps find the guidance they
needed. A practical and workable
definition would be difficult to find
for several reasons. Very few peo-
pie, 1 believe, would be in perfect
agreement as to what these terms
may mean to them. Peoples inter-
ests are naturally different in a world
like ours which presents so many and
varied opportunities. Attitudes diff
fer; there are many degrees of con-
tentment, many varieties of satisfac-
ton.
Suppose every one agreed to gen.
eral Interpretation of this better and
richer life which we are all striving
for, but each in his own way; sup
pose all of us could see it in the same
light as he who wrote: 81 give Thee
back the life I owe, that in Thine
ocean depths its flow may richer,
fuller be-" and that we did our best
to consolidate all interests, the at
tainment would be comparatively
easy, would it not?
Consolidation of interest and CO.
operation of effort are essential to
the effective solution of the problems
confronting us as nation, church,
a community and family. This is
invariably the truth at all times and
under all circumstances, unless it
would be possible to put up a very
good argument in favor of self-suffi-
cheney much after the pattern of the
type of individualism that existed
at the time of the frontier.
Pioneering was lonely and hard,
but it nurtured strong individualism
and sense of independence which
is unknown in modern civilization.
The consolidation of interest was
complete in the individual or at most
in the family; the world beyond his
own stakes did not exist, and the
richer, better life was his for the TAX
ing, it was within reach of the oppor-
tunities made possible through his
daily effort
Today, in spite of all our modern
conveniences, and luxury, and educa-
ton, we are no longer Independent.
Money has made slaves of us. Against
our will? 1t is serious situation,
but unless we can keep up with the
Joneses we might find that life is a
solitary struggle, unless we are will
ing to consolidate our effort with the
interest of the leading group, despite
disagreement, we might find life's
sailing very difficult.
Yet, the richer, fuller life is real
lied only by working together, each
one striving for the abiding values
in life, each one possessing enough
individualism to hold on to an opin-
ion, being enough of a seer to eval-
uate quality and enough opportunist
to let this determine for him his
course in life.

Monday under so-called suspension

40 minutes of debate is allowed un-

ISSUE STATEMENT
''To the people of Imperial Irri-
CATION district the board of directors
express their humble appreciation
for the fine vote of approval given
the 1943 power development project.
THE board realizes that under
the trying conditions of war times
on such a complicated deal as this
is, the people have had to place
their confidence in the boards and
their advisors judgment more than
on any issue that has ever been
before the people.
'We full.' appreciate what a tre-
mendous responsibility has been
placed on the board and we guar
antee the people will not regret
their decision.
I'VE further ask the people of
Coachella, Bard and Imperial Val i.
leys to have patience with us until
the final cut-overs and consolida-
tions are approved by the War Pro-
duction board and completed and
we guarantee them the best service
possible under the present war con-
ditions.
Again let us say we thank YOU"

TRANSFER ON OCT. Is
Evan T. HeWes, president of the
board, said transfer of the proper
ties of the California firm to the
district would occur on Oct. Is.
How rapidly the district can pro-
ceed with consolidating the two
sTstems will depend on action of
the War Production board which
agency has Jurisdiction over use of
materials by electric power distrib-
uting firms, Hewes said. M. J. Dowd,
the districts chief consulting en-
gineer, and D. w. Proebstel, the
concerns designing engineer, are
in Washington at present confer
ring with WPB officials on the
matter, the district president re-
vealed. Hewes said he was hopeful
that the two engineers would have
a WPB decision when they return
to the valley some time prior to
| Oct. Is.
Because of the purchase of the
power properties, which will elimi-
nate entirely competition in this
area for the district, 1t will be pos
sible to pay off the remaining $25,-
600 900 debt on the construction of
the All-American canal with power
revenue, eliminating the need for
levying assessments against land
in the district, district officials ex-
planned.
