LORD KEYNES GETS POST
WHICH CAUSES DlSQUIET
clos Angeles TimeS)

Clos Angeles 1lmeS)
The news from Breton Woods, n H.
that Lord Keynes has been made char
man of the section which will draw plans
for an international bank Is perhaps the
most diSquieting news about the confer
ence that has yet been announced. 10
saw that Lord Keynes does not ENJOY
the full confidence of sound economists
is very great underStatement. The
vagaries of British politics which ele-
waited John Maynard Keynes to the peer
age in a country which has taken none
of his advice. but instead won back pros
perity on conventional lines, are not
understood here But it is possible keyn-
es was rewarded for being considered a
great man in Washington, where his
deficit-finance ideas accorded with the
desires of the New Deal.
If Lord Keynes writes the charter tor
the international bank, it may be diff
cult to find private investors for its capl-
tai. if it is proposed to have 1t financed
in any part privately.
What Lord Keynes says about the Unit
ed States having to furnish most of the
capital-or, in other words, to bear the
"lending load" of the bank-will be par
ticularly true if the bank is not given a
structure and management which can be
approved by tough-minded thinkers.
What Lord Keynes says about the risk
being widely distributed is not entirely
reassuring. The risk naturally will be
shared. But it will have to be shared in
proportion to capital, and if the United
States has to put up the bulk of the lend
ing funds its risk will be proportion
ately large
Properly instituted and well run, such
a bank should be safe and profitable. But
to be safe and profitable it will have to
be conducted on principles proved COM
mercially practical; which is to say con-
ventionally. This is not to say that no
new banking or finance principles re-
main to be discovered; neither the theor-
lists nor the practicians have exhausted
the subject. But such discoveries as are
made ought to be made by experiment on
a small scale and tested by time, trial
and error before being put into wide

WARREN SHOWS STRENGTH
(SacramentO Bee)

(SacfamenlO bee)
Governor Earl Warren of California
announced last week in Chicago he would
not accept the nomination for vice-presl-
dent
His action, startling though it may
seem. is not unusual in American politics.
Often an offer of the presidential
nomination has been refused
Senator Hiram W. Johnson declined
place on the Republican ticket with War
ren G. Harding in 1920 and Senator Will
liam E. Borah refused to consider being
Calvin Coolidges running mate in 1924.
However, Johnson and BOrah already
had place in the national capital which
they regarded as more important than
being second man on the COP prasiden-
tial ticket.
A great many reasons and eXplana-
tions will be advanced for Governor War
ren's decision. running from the political
TO the esoteric.
But why not take him at his word
that when elected governor of California
it was for a four year term and that he
believes it his duty to keep faith with
those who put their faith in him?
Said the governor:
The people of California certainly will
welcome Warren's decision as well as
honor the strength of character he has
shown in refusing the vice-presidential
nomination.

ALLEGATION OF POSTWAR
FEDERAL AID ROAD FUND

Hearings have been completed by DOth
houses Of congress on the Postwar Fed
eral-Aid Highway act and the reconVen-
ing congress next month will take up
consideration of measure setting aside
500 millions for a nationwide project
calculated to spread the money IN way
most beneficial to various sections OF the
land.
While, as usual, there has been the
time-old game of grabbing" involved
in the ALLEGATION of the fund, there also
is seen a bit of fine political maneuver-
ing.
Because the area known in loose way
as the west occupies peculiar posi-
ton in any FedeIal-aid program on high
way construction in which the states
share certain portion of the cost. eN-
tensive road building almost has been
prohibitive. This evolves around the fact
that vast tracts of land are government
owned or controlled in the west. Fur
thermore the areas are more desert and
unproductive than tillable and revenue
producing Some inter-mountain states
are three-fourths barren. In these states
there is the additional drawback be
cause of some revenue-poSsible areas be
ing withdrawn as Federal holdings. Thus
the west logically stands to rate pretty
high in any ALLEGATION program, other
wise through highways never would be
built.
A glance at the proposed division of
funds in the pending measure is not so
good from the standpoint of the west and
extremely encouraging for the deep and
solid south. True, some southern states
are downright poor but not through
any lack of tillable soil.
A glance at the set-up shows that Is
southern states will receive S140,O90,OO0
while the same number of states IN the
west is to get S104,000,000.
The division runs this way: South
Alabama S1O,406,000: Arkansas S8.186,-
600; Florida S7,099,000; Georgia S12,-
231, 600; Kentucky S9,566,000; Louisiana
S7.732 900; North Carolina S12,261, 600 :;
Oklahoma S10,5S1 900: South Carolina
S6.791 900; Tennessee S10,575 900; Texas
9,547 ,0O0 Virginia S9,270,000 West
Virginia S5,S35 900.
Western: California S21.245,000; Col
orado S7,757 900; Idaho $5,114,00O; New
ada S4,890,000; New Mexico S6,542,OOO !;
Oregon S7,2O4000; Utah S4,720,00O;
Washington S7,471 900; Wyoming $4,-
S98, 900; Arizona S5.S44000; Montana
So, ,O93 900; Kansas S11 ,598 900; Nebras-
ka SS,660,000
To the southern list should be added
Mississippi. surely not among the poor
states which would get S8,705,000.
1t is interesting to note that the three
safes in somewhat of a revolt against
the Washington administration, Texas,
North Carolina and Mississippi are due
to draw down a total of S50,513,000 or
more than one-third of the total allowed
in the south and nearly half as much as
the thirteen western states put together.
The chairman of the house committee
in charge of the bill is from one of the
western states SO sadly in need of roads
and help. But he also is 100 per cent
new dealer.

ducing a new variety in half the
usual time" Dessert said. IF a new
resistant strain or ether valuable
seed is being developed, the seed
can be planted in some other state
in the summer. harvested in the
fall and the seed sent to the valley
for planting in the winter. 1t can
be harvested in the valley in the
spring and sent to the other state
for planting then and harvesting
in the fall. If it would take eight
wears to get the seed ready, the
cooperation between the valley and
the other states would cut the time

Imperial Valley press., 1944-07-07
MANY ADVANTAGES

One of the other advantages Of
growing seed in the valley is a mar
keting one. Dessert said that tall
ure of crop in another area could
be learned about in time for valley
growers to plant seed to supply
them the next season, thus assuring
themselves CT sure market instead
of a probable one. The climate and
growing season make that possible
The valley thus is a sort OF emer-
gency growing ground.
At present Dessert has more than
1000 acres for growing SEED. he
crows some himself and contracts
for growers to produce some Tor
him. Some he grows for the gov
ernment for lend-lease. He dlstrIn-
utcs seed in 40 states and exports
some. He also has plants in NySSa
Ore, and Phoenix, Arlz.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-07-07
OPTIMISM GROWS

After three years OF growing
seed in Imperial Valley, Dessert Is
more enthusiastic than ever as TO
the future of seed productlcn IN
this area. He has been in the seed
business for 80 years, - in Canada
and 90 in the United States.
There have been many oelle1S
about seed production in the valley
which my three years of experience
here have shown to be false. Des-
sert caid. For instance, 1t used to
be said that it was too hot in the
valley to grow seed successfully. The
temperature in the growing season
in the valley is lower than in most
of the seed-growing states in the
nation in June, July and August
We grow seed in the valley in the
winter. making seed of hardness
The planting season is September
to January and We harvest from
May to mid-July.
Flax seed grown in Imperial val
lev is the best, drawing a premium
/ over all others.

From his new wholesale head
quarters at 355 Commercial street,

declared that much Of the seed pro-

in the nation and some OF 1t the
best in the world.
His faith in the future of seed
production in Imperial valley
caused him to purchase the Haas
Baruch building with its 2S,OOo
square feet of floor surface for his
wholesale office and cleaning plant
This reinforced concrete building
has been equipped with modern
seed-cleaning machinery and the
latest type of machinery needed for
