Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER A DEMOCRATIC DISAPPOINTMENT When former Congressman Cordell Hull was chosen as chairman of the Democratic national committee there was a general feeling among Democrats that a fortunate selection had been made—even the Republicans were inclined to concede that a great improvement had been made in Democratic leadership. But there are now some indications that Mr. Hull is not running quite true to form and that there are many disappointments ahead for those who are to campaign under his leadership. Mr. Hull is hardly maintaining the standard of statesmanship he manifested while a member of the house of representatives. In a recent address at Indianapolis, copiously quoted by the Democratic press, we find him declaring, for instance, that "American people were led over the precipice to panic conditions and terrific business demoralization by the national Republican leadership from 1918 to 1921." Mr. Hull was a member of congress until March, 1921, and should be in full possession of all the facts. He knows, as all the rest of the people of the country do, that we had a Demo done themselves proud in securing for the show the very latest models to be obtained from the respective factories, were in a position to demonstrate the fine points of their cars, and the numerous cross-sections of the engines used in the cars came in for close inspection by the visitors. One of the stellar attractions in the huge tent was the Packard display, featuring, as it does, the 1922 improved single six.

Royal Baking Powder Co., 126 William St, New York BRITISH TARIFF PROJECT The revised tariff affords an excellent "colonial co-operation" with the British empire. The tariff follows closely agreed in Australia and of the empire. It scales of customs duties, which apply to troops with which they arrangement; prefers granted to goods or part of the British emirate rates which apply to the products as may later entailions with New Zealand tariff privileges. The principal feature in actual rates, as co-former tariff, is the tension of the system rates to British prices been accomplished entirely suitable certain prepared from foreign formerly were free or by continuing the rates and increasing rates on non-British foreign products for now pay 10 per cent sel fa higher average on all imports coming States under the Den still in force. The New Zealand provisions similar to against the dumping ducts and carries increases of the gen 25 per cent, upon countries with devices, the amount o varying with the dition. Last year we exp 000,000 worth of our Zealand. Our total the British possesses. In a recent address at Indianapolis, copiously quoted by the Democratic press, we find him declaring, for instance, that "American people were led over the precipice to panic conditions and terrific business demoralization by the national Republican leadership from 1918 to 1921." Mr. Hull was a member of congress until March, 1921, and should be in full possession of all the facts. He knows, as all the rest of the people of the country do, that we had a Democratic administration of the executive departments until March, 1921. Not only each of the nine departments but all of the boards and commissions were under the control of Democrats. This was particularly true of the federal reserve board which had more to do with business conditions than any other one government organization. It was true of the interstate commerce commission, of the shipping board and the war finance corporation. Congress had become Republican by a very narrow margin in 1919, but every effort of the Republicans in congress to put through remedial legislation was blocked by the Democratic president. If Mr. Hull will turn to the congressional Record he will find that the Democrats had refused to revive the war finance corporation which had expired by limitation and a bill for this purpose was passed by the Republican congress only to be vetoed by the president. That bill was passed over the veto of the president in both houses and in the house of representatives. Mr. Hull voted with the Republicans. If it be true that no people were even more ruthlessly led to the slaughter as Mr. Hull charges, how did it come that Mr. Hull voted with the Republicans against a president of his own party? But Mr. Hull shows his lack of statesmanlike poise by direct charges that Senator Lodge is "most remindful of Castilline, the political conspirator in the Roman senate, while his statesmanship most nearly resembles that of Aaron Burr." On second thought Mr. Hull will scarcely repeat his declaration of similitude between Lodge and Burr. Mr. Lodge has occupied a seat in national legislative halls for more than thirty years by virtue of the votes of a majority of the people of one of the great and intelligent states of the union. When Mr. Hull indicts Mr. Lodge in the words above quoted he indicts also the intelligence and honesty and patriotism of the people of Massachusetts. We doubt whether done themselves proud in securing for the show the very latest models to be obtained from the respective factories, were in a position to demonstrate the fine points of their cars, and the numerous cross-sections of the engines used in the cars came in for close inspection by the visitors. One of the stellar attractions in the huge tent was the Packard display featuring, as it does, the 1922 improved single six. In appearance this model is a distinct departure from the single six, which made its appearance last year. CRUELTY OF THE TURK The government has been asked to investigate cruelties of the Turk. It is a little puzzling that there should be hope of accomplishing anything by this. It is not a matter that needs investigation. Nobody thinks of investigating ocean water to ascertain that it is salty. The bestial cruelty of the Turk is known to all the world. There may be much to condemn, much to punish, necessity for drastic methods of reform, but there is nothing to be found out. The shameful story is known to the world, and as it has been written in blood and tears, chapter by chapter, has been an unspeakable shame to civilization. The powers of Europe have had chances to abate the Turk. They have neglected the opportunity and upon them there rests a heavy judgment. The present allegation is that the Turks have been cruel to Greek students. So, doubtless they have been, and to all others who have come within reach. It is the nature of the Turk to be atrocious in conduct, and no curb has been forced upon his instincts. Those he is able to reach become his victims. He had a plan for extermination of the Armenian people. Men, women and children, by the sword, by fire, by starvation, by exposure on the desert, he slew. The horrified Americans have done much to alleviate suffering. Their charity has snatched some of the unfortunates back from death. But Europe closer at hand, has appeared to be unconcerned. The tale has been told many times. Its truth is attested by uncounted skeletons unburned in the sands, by the remains of pillaged villages, by gaunt survivors now sustained by charity sent from afar. Bpt investigation would be merely the familiar provisions similar to those against the dumping ducts and carries increases of the genius 25 per cent, upon countries with deities, the amount owing varying with the destination.

When Mr. Hull indicts Mr. Lodge in the words above quoted he indicts also the intelligence and honesty and patriotism of the people of Massachusetts. We doubt whether Democratic leaders in Massachusetts will care to have that sort of argument spread before the people of that state as coming from a Democratic source. AUTO DEALERS MADE CAPITAL That the monster automobile show, held in connection with the second annual California Valley Orange show at Annandale, was attended widespread interest when it was learned sales have resulted in displays made by automobile dealers. The secretary of the Orlando Auto Trades' association who worked tirelessly to make the show a success, said that the scores of models, representing the last word in motor car construction, had served as the lure to draw hundreds of visitors to the citrus exposition. Finally even make of motor car handled by Orange county dealers was well represented. It was reported that several Durants, a Willis-Saint Claire, two or three Packards and a Reo had virtually been sold as the result of first-hand observation made by prospective buyers who visited the show. The Orange county dealers, having horrified Americans have done much to alleviate suffering. Their charity has snatched some of the unfortunates back from death. But Europe closer at hand, has appeared to be unconcerned. The tale has been told many times. Its truth is attested by uncounted skeletons unburned in the sands, by the remains of pillaged villages, by gaunt survivors now sustained by charity sent from afar. Bpt investigation would be merely the familiar recital of outrage and murder. It could add nothing to human knowledge. PLEASE REMIT Now it is announced that Great Britain has a plan to let Germany off in payment of reparations if she will pay enough to cover Britain's debts to the United States. That is all right so far as we are concerned. We surmise that that is about all that can be collected, anyway. That is none of our business, however. We are asking nothing of Germany except payment of the expenses of maintaining our forces on the Rhine, and Germany has already paid part of the amount to the allies, who seem to be slow in remitting to us the share that rightfully belongs to us. A WOEFUL MINORITY Apparently no one in America except a very small number of debt cancellationists wanted the United States to send representatives to the Genoa conference. These men were financiers who take care to collect all the money due them personally and it is evident that they would be personally benefitted if the United States were to donate eleven billion dollars to the allies.

The New Zealand tariff follows closely the policy adopted in Australia and other dominions of the empire. It consists of three scales of customs duties: Genereal rates, which apply to all foreign countries with which there is no special arrangement; preferential rates, granted to goods originating in any part of the British empire; and intermediate rates which it is proposed to apply to the products of such countries as may later enter into negotiations with New Zealand for reciprocal tariff privileges. The principal feature of the changes in actual rates, as compared with the former tariff, is the considerable extension of the system of preferential rates to British products. This has been accomplished either by rendering dutiable certain products when imported from foreign countries, which formerly were free from all sources, or by continuing the former British rates and increasing the corresponding rates on non-British goods. Most foreign products formerly free will now pay 10 per cent ad valorem, in itself fa higher average than that paid on all imports coming into the United States under the Democratic tariff law still in force. The New Zealand tariff contains provisions similar to those of Canada against the dumping of foreign products and carries special scales for increases of the general duties, up to 25 per cent, upon the products of countries with depreciated currencies, the amount of increased duties varying with the degree of depreciation. Last year we exported nearly $30,000,000 worth of our products to New Zealand. Our total export in 1921 to the British possessions, including the CATALINA ISLAND RESORT PREPARES FOR SUMMER There is probably no other enterprise in the world as unique and encompassing as many distinctive angles as Catalina island—the people's oceanic playground four seasons of the year. The remarkable success which Wm. Wrigley, Jr., has achieved in so vast and varied an undertaking is a singular tribute to his keen business ability and efficiency of his island organization—the Santa Catalina Island company, of which he is not only the head, but the inspiration and guiding hand. Mr. Wrigley in developing Catalina into his ideal of a world resort, took on himself the responsibility, not alone of bringing people both summer and winter to the island, but first, of making provisions to take care of the thousands of visitors seeking the many natural recreations found on the magic isle. Housing, eating, water and transportation facilities were among the first problems to be solved. Then came the making accessible of the natural beauties of land an sea of Catalina, for no artificial amusements could equal in thrill and enchantment those already provided by nature on this wondrous isle of the Pacific. People who have traveled the world over and are qualified to make comparisons, give Catalina island the preference over any resort in either hemisphere. One peculiarity of the magic isle is the inspiration it prompts to express one's feelings in verse. Possibly this is because the island itself is a variable poem. Cares drop away and tired nerves and brains feel the recuperative powers of Catalina overnight. For this summer season Catalina has been preparing to entertain the largest number of visitors in theHis new book on the Washington conference. Mr. Wells sees the millennium... provisions similar to those of Canada against the dumping of foreign products and carries special scales for increases of the general duties, up to 25 per cent, upon the products of countries with depreciated currencies, the amount of increased duties varying with the degree of depreciation. Last year we exported nearly $30,000,000 worth of our products to New Zealand. Our total export in 1921 to the British possessions, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and outlying territories, aggregated about $1800,000,000. Inasmuch as these possessions are rapidly conforming to the program laid down by Bonar Law as far back as 1017, it is apparent that the export trade of the United States is to be consistently handicapped in the commercial relations which we have with British dominions in competition with Great Britain herself. They have organized an exclusive little club of their own which our membership is not particularly desired, although we can get in on the payment of the maximum charge for admission. Last year our exports to all the world totaled $4,485,000,000, so it will be seen that something like 40 percent of our export trade is affected by these preferentials in favor of the British empire and against us. We cannot consistently complain at the British policy. It is in line with nationalistic development. It should be of material assistance to the mother country in expediting the payment of her indebtedness to the United States. But we can mend our own tariff walls by superimposing protection on the revenue-noly policy championed by southern Democrats in congress and denounced by the section of the country which they misrepresent. The British preferential policy is an impressive answer to those misguided or selfish individuals who would throw open the ports of the United States to all nations, regardless of what their policies or production costs may be. IT IS A REAL ISLAND While this country is not ambitious for island possessions, it was rather satisfactory to learn that upon discovery of an island in the south Pacific the United States had taken possession. The natural feeling was that had this government not pursued such course, some other government would have run up a flag there, and a new neighbor have been provided. Out of preference over any resort in either hemisphere. One peculiarity of the magic isle is the inspiration it prompts to express one's feelings in verse. Possibly this is because the island itself is a variable poem. Cares drop away and tired nerves and brains feel the recuperative powers of Catalina overnight. For this summer season Catalina has been preparing to entertain the largest number of visitors in the history of the island. Of particular charm are the two great "open air hotels," Island Villa and Villa Park, comprising one thousand villas situated in beautiful groves, with all the comforts and conveniences of hotel rooms out in the open. There are nine hotels, besides numerous apartments, and many cottages at Catalina, with a number of restaurants. Boating and bathing at Avalon, with the incomparable fishing to be enjoyed in Catalina waters, submarine gardens seen through glass bottom boats, and the various land sports, including golf, tennis, horseback riding and auto trips, combine to give the Catalina visitor every form of diversion. The Catalina Island company has issued a new illustrated folder, which will be sent free to inquirers from the Los Angeles office upon request. THE COUNTY'S CROPS Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg reports that crop prospects in the county are on the whole quite favorable, notwithstanding the lateness of the season. Sugar beets are in splendid condition, he says, and the tonnage of this crop will likely equal that of last year, although the acreage is but 60 per cent of what it was in 1921. Although the cool weather during the middle of May held back germination of lima beans, good stands are showing and indications point to a bumper crop because of the abundant supply of moisture stored up in the seed bed. The walnut outlook is good. The crop will not be as large as at first anticipated, but with the trees in good shape for the season, due to splendid moisture condition, good quality is promised. It is too early to say what the orange set for the coming year will be. Mr. Wahlberg says, but in most sections of Orange county a normal crops is in the making. The cold spell has In her answer to the suit, Mrs. Cumings denies that she avoided any attempts to keep the agreement, which she rescinded when the payment was not made on time. She offers to repay the $200 she received. ABOUT MILLENIUMS Maurice Hewlett is as good a liberal as H. G. Wells, but revolts violently from the Wellsian millennium. In his new book on the Washington conference, Mr. Wells sees the millennium as "a world-wide net of fine roads, great steady trains on renewed, broader tracks, long-distance airplane flights of the secureest sort, great and beautiful towns, a park-like countryside studded with delightful homes." For Maurice Hewlett a mechanic's millennium has no charms. His soul is not satisfied with motor transport or parlor cars, neither delighteth it in any man's telephones. "It thrives in contemplation, in retirement, in meditation, or collection, tranquility; motor transport puts it out." He may overstate his case in saying that "the happiest nations always have been the poorest nations," and Denmark, Holland and Switzerland, which he cites are not at present poor as present day Europe goes.. But he is emphatically right in holding that the road to happiness does not lie through wealth or mechanical invention. People or nations that postpone happiness till the millennium are likely to lose altogether. There is wholesale truth, too, in his conclusion that "it is much better for us to want things than to have them." Perhaps even the strenuous H. G. Wells would be disappointed in his millennium if he actually had it. TWO SENT TO THE PEN Twice convicted by a jury for petty larceny and a previous conviction, which made the crime a felony, Francisco Martinez, Mexican, was sentenced to a term of not more than five years in San Quentin by Superior Judge West Friday. He was convicted of stealing a bicycle. A second trial had been granted on the ground that the court had failed to instruct the jury on the merits of an alibi. Martinez sought his liberty on an application for probation. When this was denied by Judge West, Martinez proceeded to address the court in Spanish. Through the court interpreter it was stated that Martinez was of the opinion that he had been unjustly dealt with. He asserted that IT IS A REAL ISLAND While this country is not ambitious for island possessions, it was rather satisfactory to learn that upon discovery of an island in the south Pacific the United States had taken possession. The natural feeling was that had this government not pursued such course, some other government would have run up a flag there, and a new neighbor have been provided. Out of this might have come the possibility of diplomatic complications, of which the world already has plenty. Later advices tell about the new found island. It is tangible, and may under favorable conditions be observed by the naked eye. At low tide it presents a superficial area embraced by the dimensions of five by nine miles. At high tide it is 120 feet one way and nine feet the other, giving sufficient space for several persons to stand quietly. Of course were they to move about much, they might push each other off into the wet. It is not plain yet what may be done with the island except to represent it in marine maps by a dot so that the incautious mariner may not bump it in the dark. Yet it stirs the pride to know that the island belongs to a country that will not be inclined to use it for improper purposes. It is likely to remain devoid of society, and not become an educational problem, or offer a mission field. About the only immediate course that suggests itself is to let the island stay where it is, and perhaps much as it is, getting all the satisfaction possible from the thought that it is not to be in alien hands. The greatest leaders still follow somebody. The walnut outlook is good. The crop will not be as large as at first anticipated, but with the trees in good shape for the season, due to splendid moisture condition, good quality is promised. It is too early to say what the orange set for the coming year will be, Mr. Wahlberg says, but in most sections of Orange county a normal crop is in the making. The cold spell has held the blossoming back over four weeks. The mature Valencias will probably show a loss of from 25 to 30 per cent from the freeze. Lemons are blooming well, trees are recuperating, and the set for next season will be somewhat less than normal. It is too early to make a definite estimate. Early-sown grain will be heavy, and late-sown wheat and barley light. The late rains have materially helped both hay and grain. These crops will be short of last year's total tonnage, owing to deferred planting during the wet winter. The hay outlook is good, and a tonnage larger than normal will be harvested. FRANCE WILL PAY The French premier has reiterated his declaration that France will repay its debt to the United States. The statement refutes the utterances of certain individual Frenchmen to the effect that France would never be able to pay a cent of the obligation. The official attitude of France is just what would be expected of an honorable nation, and just what the foreign debt refunding commission of this country will assume to exist when it approaches the task of translating the debt of France into negotiable securities.

LIMAS ARE GROWING It now appears the acreage of Lima beans this season will be larger than in most former years. Sugar beet growers have received such an unsatisfactory return that many a beet field has been turned into a bean field this year. The big crop which is possible creates a situation which is causing the growers to ask "What are we going to do about it?" They are answering their own question by getting busy with plans for stronger cooperative effort. Commenting on the situation, Chas. C. Teague tells the bean growers: "It has always seemed to me that the lima bean growers should be able through co-operation to control the market and secure exceedingly favorable results, better results than the growers of most any other agricultural produce, because the growing of lima beans is confined to a very limited strip of land along the coast of southern California, and the California lima so no competition elsewhere in this country. This is a most favorable state of affairs and the growers should make the most of it by 100 per cent co-operation." ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY After observing the easy manner in which the bucket shops took money away from the rubes in New York City, the international financiers evidently thought they could get Uncle Sam to play the confidence game at Genoa. The composite America citizen is not such an easy mark.
