A CASE FOR
THE PEOPLE

Wednesday, when representatives OF
the county present their request for in
creased summer gasoline rations for the
people of Imperial county before Mr..
Addison Housh of San Diego, district
OPA chief, we will be entering the squar-
ed arena against formidable foe.
Not that Mr. housn Will be the antag-
onist On the contrary, it is to be hoped
that he will become one of our staunch-
est hackers and supporters.
The opponent will be the frigidity OF
bureau rulings, the strong resistance OF
Washington top authorities who Will be
hard to convince that Imperial county
and other hot belt communities like 1t,
have lust claim for relief from oppres-
sive summer heat.
This county will be spear-heading such
a movement AS far as we know, 1t VIII
be the first effort by any community de-
signed to accomplish this end. Obviously
if such relief rations are granted TINS
area, other similar areas will be entitled
to similar help.
Central OPA officials will know this.
Doubtless, they have been besleged by
all kinds of requests for exceptional
treatment. 1t is natural that they should
throw up every defense to avoid any eX-
ception lest one departure from the rule
lead to demands for a thousand others.
Furthermore, we know that ignorance
of the problems of this community exists
The records show for instance that some
officials were hard to convince that we
harvest crops in the winter time.
To overcome this "sales resistance we
are endeavoring like some David standing
up before an armor- plated Goliath. Sue
cess will not be easy to achieve, and the
10000 people of this county should real
ize it.
Because of the difficulties confronting
the effort, it is to be hoped that every
explanatory fact will be effectively pre-
sented by those who will appear before
Mr.. Housh and his fellow officials. They,
in turn. must forward the case to their
superiors and those superiors probably
must send it further on its journey to-
ward the spot where final decisions are
made.
For that reason, the case for the valley
should be complete in all details, as 1t
doubtless will be inasmuch as 1t is being
compiled and will be presented by the
heads of the various ration boards IN the
valley backed up by the able manage
ment of the local chambers of commerce
This is an able combination and no
matter what the outcome may be, certain
il is that no stone will have been left un-
turned

WILL WE GET WAR
BASES FROM USSIA?
(OrOville Mercury

NOIONlllS hSISuiN
The big question many are asking is:
will Russia give us bases near Japan
to help us subdue that enemy after we
have finished with Hitler?"
Our opinion is that Russia not only
will do that but will join in the attack
when the time that seems proper to Rus
Sia arrives.
A study of Russian policy brings that
conclusion.
People of the Allied countries do not
blame Russia any more for failing to
attack Japan when Nippon attacked Rus
sias ally, Great Britain, and the u. S.
Russia wisely had made a cooperative
agreement with Japan prior to the eX-
pected attack by Germany so that she
would not be hit from both sides at once
The invasion by Germany has been all
that Russia could handle.
But Russia did march into Poland and
attack Finland in what now is racogniz-
ed as a self-defense move. AS a result
Leningrad has been saved and, doubtless
Moscow, for the new territory so recently
acquired by Russia gave her more space
and more time.
There is another feature of Russia's
longtime policy that should be consider
ed. Russia has long been vigorously at
tacking or defending to make sure she
has access to the seas-the Mediterran-
can, tie Baltic and the Pacific. The Pa
cific is the only ocean to which Russia
has direct access In the Russo-Japan-
ese war her right to the Pacific outlet
was challenged and she lost Port Arthur.
Rest assured that when the German
menace has been removed strained rela-
tons with Japan will develop. Shortly
one side will attack. Then Russia will
be in position to strengthen her Pacific
holdings, take back what Japan seized
and be a large voice at the peace table
concerning Pacific affairs.
Look for action soon after reports of
Russo-Japanese incidents" begin to
come in.
