CHURCHILL's ARGUMENTS

You want to win the war quick
ly, don't you?" Churchill is report
ed to have said. Then don't slow
up after Sicily. Keep right on
going into the Balkans"
And he made the further plau-
siole argument that, once Mussolini
toppled, about twenty italian di-
visions policing the Balkans would
not know whom to serve. This mo-
ment of indecision, before Hitler
could rush German troops into
JugoSlavia and Greece, was the
time to strike, he argued.
"Au the Balkan people will rise
up ne urged, and Southern Eur
ope VIII be ours in twinkling."
But General Marshall remained
adamant. In the end, he had to
remind Churchill that a written
agreement on future strategy had
been signed in Washington and
that the Allies must stick to it. 5
Many of the British, and some
American strategists, still think
Churchill was right. Others point
to the difficult problem of getting
enough landing barges for a Balkan
invasion.
At any rate. out of this deadlock,
finally came the slow advance UP

FARLEY RESULTS IN
COMPROMISE

Out of this May-June conference,
therefore, came the compromise OF
no second front, no Balkan invas
ion, but more air pounding of West
ern Europe, plus the conquest of
Sicily and the southern boot of
Italy, and later, if possible, an is
land-hopping paign through
Sardinia and Corsica to Southern
France.
After the May-June conference,
Churchill flew from Washington to
Algiers, and President Roosevelt
ordered General Marshall to go with
him. The word in high Army cir
Giles at the time, in part facetious,
was that Marshall was going to keep
an eye on Churchill to see that the
Prime Minister did not use his per-
suasive charms on General Eisen-
hover and go into the Balkans,
after all.
At any rate, once Churchill got to
Algiers, there is no question that
the old bulldog tenacity for his pei
ampaign cropped up again
Churchill argued in Algiers that
once we had taken Sicily and the
southern boot, we must not stop, but
should plunge Immediately across
the Adriatic and the Aegean to
Greece and JugoSIavia.
General Marshall argued to the
contrary. He pointed to the SUBJ
marine menace around the Aegean
Islands, also the difficult problem
OF transporting men and supplies
also the mountain barriers of the
Balkans and Forthcoming snow.

Shortly after the District began
Valley-wide distribution of power
in 1899, it became obvious that the
Valley load was growing so rapidly
that additional sources of electri-
cal energy must be found. The

that would accrue from the Parker

Other contentious are that the
treaty gives to Mexico more than
double the amount of water she
would receive under natural stream
conditions-at the expense of farm
erS, taxpayers and other users of
Colorado river water in the United
States.
In Washington Representative
Hinshaw of California charged the
treaty is unconstitutional as it gives
to Mexico property of the United
States without action by both
house and senate instead OF a two
thirds majority of the senate which
is necessary for usual treaties.
HinShaW also stated in an inter-
view that the value of the water
given Mexico in terms of potential
loss to California for irrigation pur-
poses would approximate $100,000,-

In Imperial Valley opposition to
the treaty was voiced by the various
groups, including the Imperial
county farm bureau, as condemn
