IMPERIAL COUNTY is ON ITS
WAY TO GREATER THINGS

Imperial County has set its stakes for
an overall program to encompass post
war reconstruction. What undoubtedly
is the greatest unity move the valley has
seen of recent date, Is being launched In
most auspicious setting The success of
this comprehensive move is assured. The
approach was unanimous and whole
hearted. Back of it is a united cOmmuni-
ty those who Will undertake this huge
program will go ahead fully sure that
the county to man is with them.
The unity plan looks much further
ahead than the so-caiied reconstruction
period. 1t is built on the conception Of
building up the valley over unlimited
years to come. Men now in the forefront
will retire and others will move into
their places. But the foundations will
remain and he must be a pessimist in
deed who does not vision great and last
ing growth for this so rich inland en-
pire.
'Stemming from spontaneous gather
ing of representatives of all branches OF
activity in the county, the movement has
gained steadily in speed. Presently there
will be in action one of the most ener-
getic, far-seeing groups the county ever
has entrusted with its destiny.
Much is owed to the more than score
Of leaders who dropped all masks and
demanded that community pickering
shall end and then set forth real plan.
Next came the Associated Chambers of
Commerce, a body that has made heroic
efforts to gather the eounty's interests
into single activity. 1t accepted the
challenge as we'll as the demand to take
over the initial work of organization.
Again Valley leaders were not shy in call
ing a spade spade when in reviewing
past difficulties, and bullwarking the
challenge of the original group, they Gre
ated a group Of five men to take the
final step in setting up this important
planning agency
st is to be hoped that this tempo of
cooperation and push will continue. In
az short time there should be organized
a-group charged with putting into effect
this comprehensive program. There
should be no slackers. The sentiment
of these moves has been and will be to
demand and expect service, and II 1t Is
not forthcoming declare vacancies and
call in persons who are ready and will
ing to work and participate in the "all
for one and one for all' program.
The working group, if it is to be sue
cessful, must have unlimited backing and
cooperation. The support must be eX-
pected of every civic body and all COM
munity committees already working on
postwar planning. 1t must also come
from service clubs, farm organizations,
political groups and agencies. And last
ly, backing must be expected from each
and every individual citizen.
with such unanimity, success can be
expected.
without such unanimity, only failure
OF partial success can result.

RUSS DRIVE HARD BARGAIN
AT JAPANESE EXPENSE
clos Angeles Times)

CLOS Angeles Times)
What is described in both London and
Moscow as a "clear-cut Soviet diplomatic
victory" is new treaty between Russia
and Japan, in which Japan surrenders
coal and oil rights in northern Sakhalln
Island 26 years before the leases were due
to run out, in return, apparently, for an
extension of fishing rights for five years
and S950,000.
Russia agrees to sell Japan $4,000 tons
of oil year for five years, but deliver
les are not to begin till after the war.
About the only concession Japan seems
to win is the right to remove the oil and
coal already in storage.
Considering that the Jap navy was
ready, in 1889, to make a demonstration
off Sakhalin to enforce her oil and coal
rights with which she said Russia was
interfering, the liquidation of the Jap
properties at such nominal figure indi-
Gates the Russians have driven sharp
bargain, to which the JapS may have
been driven to accede in the hope Of keep
ing peace with Russia.
The five-year extension of fishing
rights is, to be sure, worth good deal
to Japan, since for some years she has
been able only to get them for year at
a time. How much coal and oil the Japs
have stored in Sakhalin is not stated, but
there may not be much oil since the an
nual production before the war had sunk
to 10000 barrels from high of 100000.
The reduction was said by the Japs to
have been due to Russian interference.
London considers the new treaty an
indication of japanese weakness, and it
may we'll be that. If so, other conces-
sions along the border between Man.
churia, Siberia and Outer Mongolia will
not be unexpected.

Democratic presidential and vice

The Republicans will meet June

convention because of the large
field of prospects. There will be
1859 delegates to the Republican
convention.
Delegates to the Democratic con-
vention will number 1,176. Hanne-
gan said state delegations would in

full vote, for each senator and
representative in congress, and two
additional delegates-at-large, each
with a full vote, for those states
which cast their electoral votes for
the Democrats in the 1910 election.
In addition, there will be six del
egates with a full vote each for
the District OF Columbia, Hawaii,
Philippine Islands, Puerto Rico, and
the Canal Zone; and two delegates,
each with a full vote, for the Virgin

Capital Talk

First industry to be mobiliZed Tor
war was the machine tool industry
and, conversely, it is the first to be
demobilized. The tendency has been
to sing the blues over the indus
try'S future, on the broad aSSump-
ton that during the war it has
produced enough machine tools to
last for the next 10 or Is years
and has SO manufactured itself
out of a job.
This line of reasoning has been
followed frequently in dickering
with Army and Navy price adjust
ment boards on renegotiation of
excess profits. Individual machine
toolmakerS argue that since they
have already supplied their post
war market for a decade or more,
they should be allowed greater
profit margins to build up postwar
reserves. By and large, this argu-
ment has fallen on deaf ears in
Washington.
Also, a new note CT optimism is
beginning to be heard, like the first
robin of spring on the grass plots
around the offices of the machine
tool builders. Pencils have been
sharpened to record those notes and
the result is something of a song
that maybe there aren't 10. years
of continuous winter ahead. And
since the prosperity of the machine
tool industry is basic to general
American Well-belng, it's worth lis
tening to.
At the end of 1899, U. 5. indus
try had about a million machine
tools in operation. Sixty per cent
of these tools are over 10 years
old and could stand replacement.
AS of today, approximately 100000
new tools will have been built for
war industries. About 100000 OF
these have been built for private
industry, leaving 100000 govern
ment owned.
The 100000 privately-oWned tools
are no particular worry. They're
going to be put to use, replacing
older and less efficient tools, for in
the conn., petition for postwar mar
kets. with higher labor production
costs, manufacturer with the most
efficient tools will have the advant-
age.
The 100000 privately-owned tools
are no particular worry. They're
going to be put to use, replacing
older and less efficient tools, for
in the competition for postwar
markets, with higher labor produc-
ton costs, manufacturers with the
most efficient tools will have the
advantage.
THE SPECIALS" WILL GO
Concerning the 100000 govern
ment-owned tools, estimates vary.
From 5 per cent to perhaps 20 per
cent, or approximately from $4,000
to 100000, are special purpose tools
for war industries and manufacture
of munitions. These tools offer no
postwar competition to civilian in
dustry.
How many government war plants
the Army and Navy will want to
keep in a standby" condition,
ready for any possible emergency
resumption of hostilities, is an un-
known factor. One thing that is
counted on is the desire of Army
and Navy to retool all their Navy
yards and arsenals, replacing older
machinery with newer and more
efficient models which they already
own. Estimates of the number OF

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

I'VE are liable to have genera
ton of uneducated men and educat-
ed women in the postwar world,
recently declared DR.. Roswell Gray
Ham, president of Mount Holyoke
College.
His prediction is probably sound,
if he means to imply that the girl
who has four years of college credit
is educated" and the young man
who went into the Army as soon
as he finished high school is "un-
educated" For a lot Of young men
who had their education inter-
rupted by the war will never go
back to school.
But, perhaps the young man, in
reality, will be better educated than
the girl who stayed at home and
went to college during the war
years.
The Army teaches him discipline.
And he has to learn to get along
with whatever outfit he is put with.
Instead, the college girl can choose
friends.
And, the young man, if he is
Intelligent to begin with, STANDS a
good chance of learning a lot tech
nically while he is in the service.
HE'LL SEE THE WORLD
He'll probably get to see a lot
of the world, too, while in service
and see it from a more realistic
viewpoint than he would through
the eyes of a tourist.
Also, we can't forget that the
young man in service is in on the
biggest event of his lifetime. He's
part of it-While the girl who is
spending those same years on a
college campus really has no way
of knowing what war means.
So, the young men who come
back at the wars end may not be
an "uneducated" generation-even
if they don't continue their school,
ing, but instead get jobs and marry
College girls should be impressed
now with the fact that there are
all kinos of ways of becoming edu-
cated-and that going to college is
just one of them.
If not, we are going to have some
unhappy marriages when the "edu-
Gated" girls marry ''uneducated'
boys-and never let the boys forget
who it was that got the schooling.

4 LESSON TO LANDLORDS
Sacramento Bee)


A recent Los Angeles court case in
voving a violation of the emergency price
control act will be worth remembering
by both landlords and tenants in this
area.
Finding that the maximum rent charg
ed for small dwelling should have been
S25 month instead of the $50 collected,
Municipal Judge Frank ]. Tyrrell award
ed the tenant judgment of $500, plus
S75 for attorney fees, and assessed the
landlord additional costs of the action.
The 5000 represented $50 a month
penalty over a II months period to which
the price control act limits recovery.
1t was an exceedingly good return to
an overcharged tenant-at the rate OF
10 to one, or sufficient to pay the per-
missble rental rate on the house for
two years to come.
Contrastingly, it was decidedly bad
bit of gambling by the landlord. Violat-
ing rent ceilings may be just as pleasant
as playing with buzz saw.

new tools that will go lin grease"
for Standby plants and to retool
government shops range from TO-
900 to 10000 units
Postwar domestic demand is an
other indeterminate market, but it
is pointed out that many old ma
chine tools have been worked dur
ing the war far beyond normal
life. Also, these tools have been
worked on two or three-shift
basis. Getting all American indus
try back to a one-shift basis and
replacing obsolete tools might dis
pose of 100000. A minor market to
be developed is retooling of the
125000 machine shops in technical
and vocational schools, which might
take 5000 to 10000 of the newer
model, simpler machine tools.
EXPORT, THE UNKNOWN
QUANTITY
There remains the export market
as the greatest imponderable of
all. Soviet Russia has shown
great liking Tor American machin-
cry and has her entire western in
dustrial plant to rebuild. How many
machines it will take to retool
bombed factories in Germany,
France and Italy is anybooy's guess.
How much of an industrial nation
China, Australia, India or any of
the Latin American republics will
become is pure speculation.
For all these markets, the U. S.
will of course be competing with
Great Britain. But from the above
point of view the machine tool glut
does not look hopeless, and it fur
ther outlines an opportunity for
the postwar employment of many
go-getting American gumshoe sales
men, to whom there is no superior
