INNOCENT PACTS There can be little question that it is the consensus of opinion in America that we ought to stay out of any guarantee pact in connection with the naval conference at London and the decision of the American delegates to that effect has met with the warm approval of the great majority of the people of the United States. The more militant internationalists, however, are not satisfied, and it was not expected that they would be. They declare that if such a pact is necessary to get France to agree to naval limitations we ought to go into it. Their principal argument is that it would be only a little innocent agreement obliging us to "consult" with the other signers to the pact in case of trouble. But the American people may well have cause to doubt the "innocence" of any pact that would satisfy France. The French people believe that they ought to have a bigger navy to protect their interests in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic. The British say they cannot agree to further disarmament unless the French will forego their naval ambitions. The French say they are willing to do this if they can have a satisfactory security or guaranty pact signed by the United States and Great Britain. Now if this pact is to be as innocent, as harmless and as devoid of teeth as some of our internationalists declare, then it would do the French no good anyhow. It must be admitted that the French are skilled diplomats and it is to be gravely doubted whether they would forego naval building which they deem necessary in return for an innocent non-binding pact which would do them no future good. This supposition is a little unreasonable to say the least... British say they cannot agree to further disarmament unless the French will forego their naval ambitions. The French say they are willing to do this if they can have a satisfactory security or guaranty pact signed by the United States and Great Britain. Now if this pact is to be as innocent, as harmless and as devoid of teeth as some of our internationalists declare, then it would do the French no good anyhow. It must be admitted that the French are skilled diplomats and it is to be gravely doubted whether they would forego naval building which they deem necessary in return for an innocent non-binding pact which would do them no future good. This supposition is a little unreasonable to say the least. In case of trouble in Europe involving the freedom of the seas and our rights to trade with belligerents, the French and the other nations of Europe can consult us anyhow, and find out what our policy is. To do this it will not be necessary to get us into any sort of agreement in advance. Any pact which we might sign now, that would satisfy France, might seem perfectly innocuous at this time, but when war danger threatened, the atmosphere would be surcharged with doubt and suspicion everywhere, and if we did not agree with the other signers of the pact at the time, we would hear our motives, our sportsmanship and our good intentions attacked from one end of Europe to the other. This would not be all. In the United States we would have the internationalists taking up the cry and seeking in every way possible to embarrass the government which happened to be in power at Washington at that time, no matter whether it were a Republican or a Democratic government—for this is not a partisan issue. We have heard a great deal of this "let's go ahead and do it, it won't hurt us anyhow" argument applied to our foreign policy during the past few months and strange to say it is usually proposed by the internationalists who have been seeking to get us involved in European affairs since the close of the World War. At first they told us it was our duty to join in the politics of Europe "in the interest of humanity." When they found that the people of the United States were not to be fooled with that sort of twaddle, they changed their methods. Now they are telling us that the changes in policy which they propose for us are perfectly harmless and not inclined to involve us in European politics. But knowing the interests which are proposing such changes of policy, the thinking American knows that if these changes were so harmless and non-involving as their proponents make out, then such proponents would not be urging the policy change at all. The internationalists and pro-Europeans have not given up the effort to make us a tail to the European kite. They have merely changed their mode of operations, having learned by experience that a direct attack is useless. DOING GOOD IN NICARAGUA Some time ago an epidemic of smallpox broke out in Nicaragua near the Costa Rican border. United States army engineers are in the section of the Western Hemisphere engaged in the task of making a survey for the proposed Nicaraguan Canal. The situation became serious and the army medical corps with the engineers immediately got busy and as a result, the epidemic at last reports was under control. This is only another little story of what our army and its scientists have done in Latin-America. Although certain "liberals" who are opposed to our policy in Latin-America declare that we have only imperialist ambitions, it is a fact that every intervention of the United States army into the affairs of a High School In Agro-Interesting Content University Agricultural students schools of Orange county year have an opportunity for their schools in the to be held at the U Davis, April 18, Plea Preparations are under the event the largest ever attempted, officiate The only requirement that they hold either card of a Future Fair card.

Some time ago an epidemic of smallpox broke out in Nicaragua near the Costa Rican border. United States army engineers are in the section of the Western Hemisphere engaged in the task of making a survey for the proposed Nicaraguan Canal: The situation became serious and the army medical corps with the engineers immediately got busy and as a result, the epidemic at last reports was under control. This is only another little story of what our army and its scientists have done in Latin-America. Although certain "liberals" who are opposed to our policy in Latin-America declare that we have only imperialist ambitions, it is a fact that every intervention of the United States army into the affairs of a Latin-American country has resulted in benefit not only of the persons whom it was designed to protect but to the country which had some of its territory occupied. If Uncle Sam was imperialistically inclined toward Latin-America he would have had some of the countries to the south of us ground under his heel long before this. But this has not been the case. He has only intervened when it was necessary to save lives and property, and wherever the army and the marines have gone there have been better sanitary conditions and better living conditions after the Yankees have left. How Cuba was cleaned up after the departure of the Spaniards is well known to everyone, and the record of the past few years in Hawaii is one of constructive effort to help the natives toward a higher standard of living. Have you heard any of the so-called "intellectuals" arise anywhere to commend the action of the United States army doctors in stamping out the latest smallpox epidemic in Nicaragua? Have you heard any praise for this purely benevolent effort from those who like to call Uncle Sam an imperialist in his Latin-American efforts? Not a word has been sounded. The insincerity of these critics of Uncle Sam is best evidenced by the fact that they make a noise only when they think they can becloud the issues and embarrass the government in carrying out its policies. Praise for any service like the kind recently rendered in Nicaragua is beyond their kin. No wonder then, that their efforts give rise to the suspicion in the minds of thinking Americans that in their criticism of this government they are actuated not so much by motives friendly to the people of Latin-America, but by a desire to do something to help European propaganda in the countries to the south of us. This is only a part of the general program to make Uncle Sam always in the wrong. Occasionally an English lord will get up in Parliament and denounce the United States for not paying back the money the British loaned to the Confederate states during the Civil War. So far as can be learned this is about the first time in her long career England failed to get her money's worth. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Buddies By Albert T. Reid SOVIET RUSSIA Abert T. Reid AUTOCASTER High Schools Ronded Debt District of Riveralde County and Orange County High Schools In Agriculture Interesting Contest to be Held at University Farm Agricultural students in the high schools of Orange county will lagain this year have an opportunity to win honor for their schools in the judging contests to be held at the University Farm at Davis, April 18, Picnic Day. Preparations are under way to make the event the largest judging contest ever attempted, officials in charge say. The only requirement for entrants is that they hold either a Junior Aggie card or a Future Farmers of America card. Any high school in which agriculture is taught may enter one team in each contest. The contests include judging of livestock, poultry, dairy cattle, dairy products, trees, agronomy and farm mechanics. Eight classes will be judged in the livestock division, including beef cattle, sheep, draft horses, and hogs. Poultry will have four classes to be judged by the students. They are S. C. W. Leghorn Pullets, S. C. W. Leghorn Hens, S. C. R. I. R. Pullets, and Plymouth Rock Pullets (white or barred). In the dairy cattle judging contest six classes of dairy cattle will be judged, as follows: One class each of Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey, and Ayrshire; mature cows; one class of two year old Holstein cows; and one class of Jersey yearling heifers. Contestants will be given five samples of milk, butter, and cheese (Cheddar) in the dairy-products contest, to score, criticise, and place. One key sample of each product, on which a score and criticism by the judges is displayed, will be placed before the contestants 15 minutes before the contest and may be used during the contest as a guide. Three classes of trees will be judged in the tree division—a class of four bearing pear trees, a class of four young bearing prune trees, and a class of four bearing or non-bearing peach trees. Fifty crop specimens in seed and head, including several products, will be offered the students for judging in the field crop and identification contest. Four classes of field crops, each consisting of five 10 pound samples, will also be judged. Bonded Debt Large In State California, Next to Florida, Has Greatest Indebtedness Next to Florida, California has the largest total net bonded indebtedness of any state in the union. Every man, woman and child in California is represented by $190.20 in bonded indebtedness for its cities and counties, as compared to $341.26 for Florida, according to State Controller Ray L. Riley. County bond issues in Orange county, exclusive of water, school and road districts, now stand at $924,000 according to figures just compiled by Riley. While California's optimism is unbounded, Riley says, this optimism is backed by accurate knowledge of its wealth and future prospects. Income tax figures indicate California is the fifth richest state in the country. The bonded debt for cities far outstrips that of other political subdivisions and totals $360,252,349.57. The debt for irrigation, reclamation, school and other districts comes next with a total burden of $219,744,656.32. The state's debt is third, totaling $121,176-500, while county burdens come fourth, set at $50,233,300. "It's not so much what we spend as what we get for one dollar," said Riley. "Millions have been wasted in unwide bond issues. In one reclamation district No. 6, the state has had to step in and sasume over $5,000,000. There's an inclination to spend too much on showy school buildings. I also feel that too much is spent on supervision of business." California's present need is some state authority to pass upon the issuance of bonds. Riley believes. The present State Bond Certification Commission is a step in that direction, but he says, should be provided with more "teeth." Supervisors Proceedings Petition of Donald W.

Riley Came Too Quick Ray L. Riley, state controller, was reminded of a good story on himself the other day when Charter Day at the University of California was being discussed. Riley got an invitation to the ceremony several years ago and decided to attend. He was quite busy, but arrived at Berkeley after a fast drive, just in time, he thought, for the affair. No one was in sight and the controller asked a student where the Charter Day parade would gather. "Well," answered the student, "it will gather right on this spot a week from today." Protecting Quail In order that quail may not become entirely extinct as a California game bird, state fish and game authorities are enlisting the support of 500 volunteer workers to ask farmers of the state to establish bird sanctuaries on their property. It is believed that if each farmer will set aside some racine or canyon on his property where quail may find feed and water and protect this refuge from hunters for three years, replenishment of the bird supply can be made with no expense to the State. Part of the Kaw Indian land, in which Vice President Curtis has an interest as a member of the tribe, is to be leased for the drilling of oil. If the Vice President isn't careful he will be getting himself investigated by the Senate. Supervisors Proceedings Petition of Donald W.
