The United States "hands-off'

as Representative in the House
authored the resolution which first
put Congress on record as favoring

to feel that we should fence for our

Fulbright said. But 1t is impossible
and we should quit toying with the

us and would also lead to war, he
declared.
Advocating collie ctive security,
which he described as a system to

tenn can't be formulated by the
magic powers Of three men" or any
one conference. Rather, 1t is q day.

never cease, he contended.

so LONG, AIMEE"
(Redlands Daily Facts

Somerset Vaughan, in his autobiog-
raphy,. THE Summing Up makes the
sage observation that in real life each
person is made up of both admirable
qualities and weaknesses. Pure heroes
and unadulterated villains are found on
" in fiction.
Because the late Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson existed in the minds of millions
of Americans as fictiOnal character,
they classified her easily as a lady P. T.
Barnum, exploiting religion instead of
the circus business. And she gave them
plenty to sneer at-her hippodrome style
of preaching, her sorry ventures into ma
trimonv, and her ludicrous kidnapping
which began when she went down in the
Pacific ocean and ended when she emerg-
ed in the Arizona desert.
Yet, Aimee did bring religion to thous-
ands of people at their own emotional
level. Many of her flock had long ago
experienced the same evangelism at old
fashioned camp meetings, "back east"
She did satisfy the spiritual needs of her
followers.
Beyond the doors of her church Aimee
took religion and charitable services to
the down-and-outers, the buns, the sick
of heart She took food and hope to men
who had precious little of either Her
role of Samaritan did not win the pub
licity which was given to her extravagant
Hollywood gestures.
In the great summing up, Aimee may
march ahead of naughty souls who will
look at her, saying 81 am holier than
thou"

through fierce German opposition
on some of Italy's toughest terrain
Wednesday in a converging drive on
the Bologna-R -Rimini highway, with
cne salient striking within eight
miles of the Pc Valleys principal
road.
The fighting, in which the Ger
mans made several severe counter
attacks, was centered on nine-mile
front between the roads tanning
out from Florence northward to
Imola and Bologna, the gateway to
the Po Valley.
The heaviest enemy resistance
was met in the southern outskirts
of Livergnano, where the Ameri-
can troops of the 5th army smashed
a number of German counterattacks
to hold their positions less than
10 miles from Bologna.
Front reports said fierce fighting

HAS BALLOT BEEN DENIED
OUR FIGHTING MEN?

Reports flowing in from all the AS
states disprove the statement of PreSi-
dent Roosevelt in a recent accusation
that certain persons and politicians
conspired to deprive the men in service
of the right to vote. He was referring, of
course. to the defeat of the new deal bill
sponsored by Senator Green of Rhode
Island and Senator Lucas of Illinois, two
top-notch new dealers and ardent fourth
termers.
That bill, fought to the end by leading
Democrats and Republicans, provided
what was known as the "bob-tail ballot.
That ballot was illegal and Roosevelt
and his attorney general knew it. No
notice whatever was taken of the fact
that it was entirely in violation of the
constitution. Congress has no power to
give the ballot to anybody. The presi-
dents ballot would have restricted the
soldiers vote to himself and another
candidate" 1t absolutely would have de
prived the soldiers of the right and
chance to vote for single congressman
or a state official To have adopted
that ballot would have meant only litiga-
ton. No state could have been compelled
to receive or count such ballots. And in
the face of such bald facts, the President
charged that there was an attempt afoot
to cheat the soldiers out of the right to
vote. He made such an open charge be-
fore the teamsters and later in speech
from the White House.
Even while he was preparing and de-
livering these speeches, records from
state capitals were showing an over
whelming number of requests from men
on foreign soil. 1t developed. just as
those fair-minded congressman foresaw,
that it is as easy to follow the election
laws as to violate them; it has been no
trouble for the soldiers to follow the
prescribed plan and it also has developed
that the transportation of legal ballots to
and from the fighting men is as easy as
to have carried the illegal piece of paper
known as the bob tail ballot
Again the records have overtaken the
new deal in its rough-shod, bureaucratic
and dictatorial methods.
The fighting men are going to vote just
the same as if they were home, and with
no thanks to the new deal.

COUNTY SHOWS LOW
REGISTRATION TOTAL

The low figure in registration of voters
in Imperial county could mean one of
two things, possibly both Either many
voters neglected to get their names on
file or the population of the county has
shrunk since 1910. Peak registration
for the 1910 elections was 17,150. For
next month 2216 less have qualified. The
1910 election saw a total of 1852 votes
cast, or within 352 of the total registra-
tion now, 14,934. The 1910 election re-
corded IS per cent of the voters. If the
small registration total points to drop
in population, it suggests some serious
consideration as to the reasons.
