CHURCHILL EXPLAINS
CLOS Angeles Times)

Clos Angeles Times)
The announcement by Prime Minister
Churchill of policy of isolating South
ern Ireland from the rest of the world, II
necessary to curb axis spies in that re-
gion. plus his explanation to the House
of Commons of the policy, completes in
general outline the picture of the situa-
ton brought about by Premier De Val
era's stubbornness.
Churchill declared truly that if any
serious loss was caused to the forces for
the invasion of Europe, by the presence
of axis agents in Dublin. breach would
be created with Fire which generations
could not heal. The isolation of Fire
is as much necessary to protect her peo-
pie from the consequences OF De Naleras
folly as for any other purpose.
Since the Irish reply to the American
request that these Axis agents be ousted
was made public, it has become known
that De Valera appealed both to Canada
and to Australia for mediation and was
turned down, getting no sympathy what
ever. 1t is evident these dominions, both
wholeheartedly in the war, see no reason
for De Valera's extremist position.
Fire need not enter the war, but she
need not help her own enemies elthr.

COUkTY'S TRAFFIC
RECORD IS BAD

Fourteen persons killed in traffic acci-
dents so far this year is a record that
should make every person in Imperial
county take notice. 1t is shameful rec
ord and calls for drastic measures by
public officers Such a record must not
be permitted to continue throughout the
year.
If the proportion should run it will
mean 81 fatalities this year. 1t almost is
unbelievable that last year from January
to March Is, only five deaths were re-
corded. Too many, but almost negligible
compared to the start this year.
The most deplorable part of the record
is that careless and reckless driving is
responsible for most of these fourteen
deaths. These cases have been so out
standing as to border on the criminal.
Plain ignorance accounts for not few.
The law has no way to get at ignorance.
but it can put its hand on the reckless
and the careless. There is no excuse for
ignorance; likewise there is no cure.
Excessive speed, despite wartime re-
strictoins, enters into most crashes. And
as usual, oftentimeS the violator OF the
speed rule and the cause of the accident
escapes unhurt.
Until our roads become three or four
lanes in width. one of the chief dangers
in driving will continue that of passing
cars And here is one Of the worst Of
fenses nowadays by the reckless driver
All the proof needed is to make trip
on any of the main county highways. II
you are the careful driver you will be
forced to slow down or to stop many
times as an approaching car passes an
other when the intervening distance SIM
s..l, Mo-, docs mn
pass" line on curve or hill mean thing
to these road-killers.
Observance of the rule of turning on
main highways from side roads. is more
marked in the country than in cities.
Backing from parked positions into roads
and streets is at the peril of the driver
with the right-of-way and in Ell Centre
it would appear there is no rule If day
after day violations mean anything.
Nor are all reckless and careless drlv-
ers limited to minors. Adults maintain
their share in these claSsifications.
sWe are not recommending that high
wav or other officers make examples OF
violators." But we do recommend that
each and every person guilty of these
safety regulations be given more than
ticket and that the punishment fit the
violation no matter who it may be and
that the public is as much responsible
as officers in seeing that safety rules are
maintained.
Imperial county's record is all the
more inexcusable, as are all other bad
records, other places, because OF the
light traffic on highways now. 1t would
appear that drivers seem to think the
"sky is the limit simply because there
are fewer cars on the'roads. If this attl-
tude is continued, it is horrible to think
what will happen when unrestricted
travel is restored.
Let's put stop to this unnecessary
s1auphter

present needs in taxation and
the best method of collecting
these taxes.
Mrs. Burleigh DoWney, Legs
lative Chairman of the Michigan
State League was the speaker
of the afternoon, and discussed
the need Of Child Labor legis-
lation in Michigan. Whenever
possible children should be al
lowed TO finish their schooling
as they are the reservoir of
trained bodies and minds of to-
morrow. 1t is fully recognized
that child labor is vital for the
war effort, but should be called
upon only when the supply of
older men, women without
children, and the minority races
has been exhausted.
Child Labor laws must be re-
vised so industry can not make
a profit on child labor and the
hard won social gains Of the
past will not be lost. Children
need shorter hours, with rest
periods and longer lunch hours.
must not be asked TO lift heavy
weights, and should work under
conditions which can not injure
their health. Better policing
facilities are 10 be asked in the
new law, TO see that these stand
ards are being met.
Employment under eighteen
is increasing at a tremendous
rate, some leaving school entire
ly. and others working in addi-
ton TO their school program.
Tie problem Of juvenile delin-
quency develops with the prob
lem of child labor, especially
increasing in the areas of grow
ing communities. These working
boys or girls are treated IS
adults at work, but as children
at school or play. The war has
brought a strain on their family
life, with the father in service,
or the mother working, or with
parents on the night shift. At
tie same time there has been a
serious lessening in community
recreation, which in normal
times could help the youth.
Mrs. DoWnej reported that
the Governor is TO appoint
commission to study these press
ing problems of child labor, and
they will draw up new Child
Labor Bill which can be pre-
scented to the Legislature next
January.
