Draft Waits Unit
Held as Below
Physical Standard

WASHINGTON, June 2. UP)-
Selective Service is preparing to
draft into the army 25,C0O men be-
tween 18 and 25, who are slightly
below the normal physical require
ments for induction, it was learned
Saturday at the war department.
These inductions, scheduled for
June and July, are expected to
make possible the early release of
veterans with more than IS dis
charge points who have been as
signed to combat duties in the
United States because of physical
disabilities suffered overseas.
The group of $4,000 will be in ad-
dition to the regular quotas of 100,-
900 for June and 10000 for July.
Generally speaking they will be men
whose physical condition was for
merly acceptable for limited service
inductees, classification which has
been abolished.
1t was expected that many of the
25,000 will be men with slightly
substandard eyesight. Men with
hernia or Affections of the feet
and joints will not be taken.

FIGURES SHOW SEVENTH
WAR LOAN DRIVE LAGS

Imperial county citizens are facing the
cold fact that the sales of war bonds in
the Seventh drive are away behind
schedule. 1t was hoped by those in charge
of this drive that such situation would
not prevail and that the people would
not have to be reminded to speed up"
A number of busy men and women
have volunteered to keep the machinery
of the drive going. Any such activity re-
quires an organization, but after all these
volunteers are not charged with the re-
sponsibility of meeting the quota. They
are among the thousands who buy bonds,
attend to civic duties and keep their bust
nesses going. They are. not statesmen
They are not expected to go from house
to house or from person to person sell
ing the bonds. They are conscientious
are devoting much more of their time to
that job than reasonably should beck
pected of them.
Heretofore bond drives have been for
the purpose of carrying on a dual war
Now we have only Japan to defeat. This
drive directly is to hasten that day. Each
and every day less fighting means that
many more of our fighting men will come
home. There is the appeal.
In apportioning to various sections
certain quota, Imperial county people
were listed to buy to the amount of
$3,175,000 The drive is close to two
thirds over and the current sales total,
stands at $1,039,193 The total should
be we'll above the two million mark if
the daily pace had been maintained
Here is just some plain arithmetic.
Approximately ten selling days are left.
1t is easy to figure out the daily sales.
Hundreds of Valley people are going to
purchase bonds as surely as the sun rises.
1t would relieve the anxiety and lessen
the work of the volunteer leaders if these
purchases were made right now.

cific The President declares that an

FARMER LEGISLATOR
ENLlGHTENS COLLEAGUES

1t doesn't come amiss in these days of
war talks; of feats of human ingenuity in
creating more deadly war weapons and
of industrial miracles, to remind our
selves of the one indispensable asset
the SOIL
And so the lower house of congress
members probably sat up in amazement
recently when Rep. John Phillips, him.
self a farmer, made little speech ex-
tolling the inventive genius of tiller of
the soil in the representatives bailiwick.
After enumerating all the wonderful
war machines that have made it possible
to crush the Axis, the congressman turn
ed to the theme Of his talk. He told his
colleagues of peacetime invention, the
product Of a Perris, California, orchadist
"a new type disc plow. Maybe Phillips
had seen the implement at work. Any
way he qualified as an expert in describ-
ing all the implements advantages over
old machinery and showed how its use
can increase acreages of foodstuffs.
He closed by saying: ''Mr. Speaker,
suggest that this is very practical dem
onstration of what the peace-loving peo-
Piles of ali the world want to see, the
beating of swords into plowshares."
The point the congressman makes
should be we'll taken by the nations

FREE SCOTLAND"

(Riverside Daily Press
Should Scotland be free? Yes, says the
new Scottish Nationalist party, whose
first member of parliament has just
taken his seat.
1t is news to most people that Scotland
is not free, or free enough for all prac-
teal purposes. Scottish nationalists, how
ever, say that the British parliament does
not devote enough attention to Scottish
affairs. 1t should meet elsewhere than
in London every now and then, say in
Edinburgh. Perhaps a separate Scottish
parliament should be set up, just as has
been done in the case of Ireland.
This Scottish home rule movement re-
calls the Irish movement, which finally
attained success Scotland has fewer
grievances, however, and no embittering
religious differences to mark her off
from England.
The English have grievances of their
own. They say that the Scots run Eng
land as it is, and point to the British
prime ministers who have been Scottish
by birth or inheritance: Gladstone, the
greatest of the nineteenth century pre-
miers Balfour, Bonar Law and Ramsay
Macdonald.
Scottish nationalism is probably only
a protest which will not go far, but pro-
tests often serve useful purpose. They
call attention to the grievances which
underlie them, and once in while some
thing gets done to ease them.

RELAXING THE CENSORSHIP
New York Timas)

(NeW York IImaS)
Byron Price, director of censorship, is
a newspaperman who dislikes his Job. He
believes Fundamentally in free press
and accepts censorship only as a grim
necessity of war. 1t is all the more to his
credit, therefore, tnat he has administer
ed his office firmly but with cool and
temperate judgment 1t is a further proof
of his wisdom that he has now promptly
modified the rigid rules previously ap-
piled to all theaters of war. Henceforth
the full code will be observed only for the
Far Eastern combat zone.
There is no doubt that at times the CEN
sorship has been abused. Jealous mill
tary officers have withheld information
the public was we'll qualified to assess
long after it could be of use to the enemy.
Correspondents have been restive under
needless restrictions, but these have been
condoned or endured as part of the price
of war In land where free press is
one of the great pillars of our liberty they
would be inexcusable if continued into
the days of peace. The present relaxa-
tion foreshadows a time when there will
be no such restrictions. Great Britain
is already lifting the veil of censorship
on phases of the war not previously pub
lished and we have begun to do the same
here. Except for the Pacific-Asiatic zone
it is now possible, for example, for our
newspapers to print details of the wealth
er, sabotage, movements of planes, troop
movements, production rates and the dis
position of prisoners of war The sole
purpose of censorship is to help win the
war with Japan. Mr.. Price hopes to end
it as soon as possible
