OUR NATIONAL FUTURE While Americans as a general rule have confidence in the future of their country despite the vaporings of a few pessimists of internationalist mind, it is of particular interest at this time, following the crash in our stock market of a few months ago and the slump which followed it, to note the opinion of Europeans on the future of the American continent. Some such opinion was expressed recently in a circular issued on American securities by Buckmaster and Moore, members of the Senior Stock Exchange at London. This circular sets out a comparison of the situation in America and Great Britain and advises the customers of the firm to sell their British industrial securities and buy good American stocks of an industrial nature. As quoted by the New York Times this British circular says in part: "Industrial prosperity in England is much more than temporarily depressed. We are some way down the road of a long decline, at the end of which we shall find our relative industrial position entirely different from what it was in the nineteenth century. "On the basis of this view, we would sell the shares of almost all British industrial companies operating at home, particularly the shares of the older industries. "Prosperity depends upon growth. The economic, political and climatic advantages of the United States and Canada, during the next few decades, will be so overwhelmingly great that these countries offer the most attractive field for investment. There is room for immense expansion and the desire for it. Wealth is the main objective, the pace will be hot and the profit high." Americans of course will find no comfort in the gloomy view as to British possibilities. We would much prefer to have Great position entirely different from what it was in the nineteenth century. "On the basis of this view, we would sell the shares of almost all British industrial companies operating at home, particularly the shares of the older industries. "Prosperity depends upon growth. The economic, political and climatic advantages of the United States and Canada, during the next few decades, will be so overwhelmingly great that these countries offer the most attractive field for investment. There is room for immense expansion and the desire for it. Wealth is the main objective, the pace will be hot and the profit high." Americans of course will find no comfort in the gloomy view as to British possibilities. We would much prefer to have Great Britain and the other nations of Europe prosperous, with their unemployment problems settled. This would be good, of course not only for Europe, but for America and the rest of the world, too. But we can at least find great satisfaction in the prophecy as to the future of America. Too often we do not appreciate the boundless resources which nature has given us and of which we are making an increasingly full use, under the American system of private enterprise and individual progress. While there may have been some temporary advantage in selling Uncle Sam short during last October and November, that time is past and we are now ready for the long pull up hill again. Certainly we ought to have the same old confidence, now that the nation has withstood the shock of stock market liquidation and is ready for constructive action again. WE GUARANTEE NO NATION'S SAFETY Before she will modify her demand for a fleet tonnage of 724,000 tons, France must have a guaranty from nations signatory to the proposed five-power pact that they will go to her rescue with arms in case she becomes involved in war. That is the block upon which delegates to the London conference today are attumbling. Perhaps France should understand, and does understand, that at least so far as the United States is concerned our national policy forbids any such entangling alliance. Far better from our standpoint that France be permitted to build all the ships she wishes and that we do the same than that this country enter into an agreement in advance to ally herself with any nation in the latter's wars. The United States anticipates no trouble with France nor with any other country, while France has some reasons to expect trouble from more than one source, due to the complicated political situation in Europe. Always hanging over her is the menace of Italy, and in time Germany may become powerful enough to be feared again. Such an arrangement as France suggests could be of no interest to the United States, for it would be wholly one sided. The United States, to be sure, is not immune from attack, not beyond the possibility of engaging in a war, but at least she has no traditional foe to fear and only in some remote event could benefit by a military alliance with any nation. It is improbable that the American delegates would be willing to enter into any deal such as France proposes; certainly not if the delegates know the temper of their countrymen; and if they should, the Senate would not ratify any such treaty. BEHIND THE FARM BOARD'S POLICY A private statistical service furnishes this information and inference about the wheat situation: It is reported that shipments of wheat from North America BEHIND THE FARM BOARD'S POLICY A private statistical service furnishes this information and inference about the wheat situation: It is reported that shipments of wheat from North America between the beginning of the 1929-'30 crop year on July 1, last, and Feb. 24 totaled about 212 million bushels as compared with 394 million bushels a year ago and about the same amount in 1927. Europe's takings from our market declined abruptly and this seems to be equally true of their importations from the Argentine and from Australia. Within recent weeks the exports from North America have declined to the smallest volume for any similar period since 1910. This general situation suggests that quite possibly Europe has been staying out of the market, has not yet satisfied its requirements, and that, therefore, there is a possibility that rather than there having been an artificial character to the market because of price fixing at too high levels, there may have been attempts to force liquidation at low levels. To the extent that this has been prevented by activities of our farm board, it may prove a later stimulant to the wheat market and of a very decided benefit to the American farmer. The inference that Europe is bound to come into the market for its supplies in the near future and thus to boost prices may be optimistic. But it was this view of the situation, with a European boycott of North American wheat, and the belief that the depression was temporary, that led to avowedly emergency action of the farm board in attempting to tide the wheat farmers over until normal conditions should return. Having already subscribed to the League of Nations pact, the World Court pact and the Kellogg pact, France seems to want another peace guarantee pact. Reminds us of the old riddle, "pact upon pact and a hole in the middle." The grand old "Constitution" has been refloated from the drydocks at Boston and up to this time the pacifists are overlooking a bet. They ought to protest that such "carrying on" will interfere with the spirit of the naval conference at London, ANAHEIM GAZETTE Back on the Old Job——By Albert T. Reid OUR PRODUCING WORLD County Tuberculosis Society Meeting industry benefited by this cooperative supply department. A substantial reduction in operating costs of the purchasing division of the company is shown by a decrease from $1.50 per $100 in 1928 to $1.20 per $100 for operating expenses in 1979. Boy Scouts State Honors Boy Scouts of Anaheim have an opportunity to win state honors and individual cash prizes to be offered for the best and most varied exhibits at the California State Fair and Western County Tuberculosis Society Meeting County Association Holds Annual Session at Santa Ana Tomorrow The Annual Meeting of the Orange County Tuberculosis Association will be held in Court Room No. 3, Hall of Records, Friday, March 28, 1930, at 7:30 AM.

Industry benefited by this cooperative supply department." A substantial reduction in operating costs of the purchasing division of the company is shown by a decrease from $1.50 per 100 in 1928 to $1.20 per $100 for operating expenses in 1929. Refunds to growers amounted to $153,267 of which $85,890 was refunded on orchard supplies and $67,377 on packing house supplies. During last season the staggering total of 4,453 carloads of box shook, supplied to members to ship 1929's record citrus crop. The records show that during twenty-three years of Supply Company operations no association affiliated with them has lost fruit due to lack of necessary supplies when needed. The report further disclosed that during these twenty-three years the Supply Company has done a total of $143,814,170 of which almost six million dollars has been returned to members. A total of over 65,000 hundred thousand pieces, or 7,274 tons of tissue wraps were used last year by Exchange members, while more than $2,000 kegs of nails were purchased on the 1929 contract. The two lumber mills owned by the Supply Company cut over 100 million feet last year. Athletics in Public Schools Physical Education Stress to Games in Which Youths Participate "Every boy and girl an athlete" is the slogan of California's schools, which are receiving nationwide attention for their program of physical education. No longer do the schools of this state devote their attention to building up a powerful team of athletes in each sport, says N. P. Nelson, chief of the State Division of Health and Physical Education. The new policy is to stress games in which every child participates. Both elementary and high schools are building up their gymnasiums, and within the next decade well-equipped quarters for physical education 12 months of the year will be part of every modern school. In 1921 there were only 89 of the 303 high schools in California, or about 29 per cent having gymnasiums. Today there 230 schools out of 345, or 66 per cent. At present, Orange county has a total of 8 gymnasiums in its high schools. In elementary grades the Boy Scouts State Honors Boy Scouts of Anaheim have an opportunity to win state honors and individual cash prizes to be offered for the best and most varied exhibits at the California State Fair and Western Exposition in Sacramento in September. Ellis Franklin, director in charge of the educational department of the fair, declared this week that scouts all over California should begin now to prepare the exhibits of their handwork. In addition to the skweepstake trophy, individual cash awards will be made in 25 classifications under the heading of Boy Scout work. They are: Bridge models, tower models, knot boards, bird study material, bows and arrows, drawings for architecture, paintings and drawings, model made for aviation, metal craftwork, carpentry, leather work, printing, mining, cement craftwork, wood carving, radio collection o finsects, potography, seamanship, signaling, taxidermy, maps, knifework, and bookbinding. Franklin suggests that the Boy Scouts councils of California communicate with Charles W. Paline, secretary of the State Fair at Sacramento, for full details of the competition. In all the broadside directed at Congress little is said about the one thing that would surely solve the prohibition problem: Get the people to stop drinking. We can't understand why married men should prefer talking pictures to the old silent ones. Growers Supply Co. Broke All Records More Business Transacted In 1929 Than Any Previous Year Breaking previous records the Fruit Growers Supply Company completed 1929 with a total of $12,340,130 business transacted, according to the annual report of E. G. Dezell, who is general manager of this Sunkist purchasing unit as well as of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The Supply Company is the cooperative buying organization for the members of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The volume of business during 1929 is indicated by 52,143 invoices handled for last year as compared with 47,465 in 1928. The value of business with members in 1929 amounted to $10,831,998 compared with $8,775,780 for the preceding year. Lumber products sold to other than members amounted to $1,508,132. "Actual figures cannot show the many benefits of cooperative marketing and purchasing to the citrus industry," stated the report. "The real value of the Fruit Growers Supply Company is in the service and protection it affords to its members in furnishing supplies at reasonable prices at the time needed. Just as the systematic marketing and advertising of citrus fruits by the Exchange has benefited each citrus grower in California so, also, has the citrus Division of Health and Physical Education. The new policy is to stress games in which every child participates. Both elementary and high schools are building up their gymnasiums, and within the next decade well-equipped quarters for physical education 12 months of the year will be part of every modern school. In 1921 there were only 89 of the 303 high schools in California, or about 29 per cent having gymnasiums. Today there 230 schools out of 345, or 66 per cent. At present, Orange county has a total of 8 gymnasiums in its high schools. In elementary grades the playgrounds and organized games take the place of gymnasiums. "Play days for girls have been substituted for interscholastic athletics in virtually every high school in California," points out Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction. "State athletic championships for boys have been eliminated except in track events an dthe tendency is to restrict championship games to local leagues." This will eventually give to every boy and girl the opportunities he should have rather than shower the major attention on the few expert athletes who are already superior to the general group. Interscholastic football for junior high school is being slowly eliminated. To carry out the new program of physical education, a number of high schools are being designated as experimental schools, Kersey said. These schools are attempting to adapt the physical education program to the individual needs of pupils. Other developments in California's program includes Revision of teacher certification requirements from a low level to one on a par with those required of teachers of other subjects; development of a curriculum for training of physical education teachers for California schools; and publication of a series of five manuals, three in physical education and two in health supervision to embrace the state program. The first o f these, "A Manual of Physical Education Activities for California Elementary Schools" has been printed and 15,000 of them distributed.
