FIGHT, YOU SONS OF YANKEES! FIGHT! Fundamentally, the most important problem in California's history resolves itself down to these clear-cut issues: Will we swallow the bait of endless promises Upton Sinclair dangles before hungry eyes—a vote-catching trap conceived by Socialist leaders as a long stride toward goosestepping at each bark of an European-type dictator? Or, will we hold our heads and our traditional freedom, simply revising to meet modern conditions a system of democratic government under which California thrived and America grew to world dominance? As patriotic Americans, march to the polls on November 6 and hang our insidious enemy of human liberty from the serifs of a cross for Merriam. PROFIT FROM WAR MUST END It was Benjamin Franklin, we think, who said that there never was a good war or a bad peace. Whosoever said it, we are reminded of it by the disclosures made by the senate committee which is investigating the "munitions racket." Startling and shocking facts have already been disclosed, and sinister figures such as most of us regard as creatures of fiction appear in their true colors, as profiteers who make money by arming the nations against each other. Sir Basil Zaharoff, the "mystery man" of Europe, has been disclosed as the agent for the great munitions manufacturers of the world, without regard to nationality. American builders of submarines have been shown It was Benjamin Franklin, we think, who said that there never was a good war or a bad peace. Whosoever said it, we are reminded of it by the disclosures made by the senate committee which is investigating the "munitions racket." Startling and shocking facts have already been disclosed, and sinister figures such as most of us regard as creatures of fiction appear in their true colors, as profiteers who make money by arming the nations against each other. Sir Basil Zaharoff, the "mystery man" of Europe, has been disclosed as the agent for the great munitions manufacturers of the world, without regard to nationality. American builders of submarines have been shown up as unwilling—on paper—to sell their submersible torpedo-boats to both sides in a war, but through their foreign agents doing precisely that—for a commission. An international ring has controlled armament of the great nations for years, apparently. The competition between nations, each striving to be better armed than its arrivals, has been stirred up by high-pressure salesmanship and the circulation of rumors that this, that or the other country was contemplating war. It is time an end was put to this sort of hing. It is a real service to the cause of humanity and world peace that Senator Nye's committee is performing in bringing the facts to light. If they shock the other civilized peoples of the world as they have shocked America, we may hope for action by the League of Nations or by other mutual agreements to limit the manufacture of munitions of war to governments themselves. War should no longer be profitable to any individual or private company. THE LATEST SEA TRAGEDY There is something especially horrifying about disaster at sea. Shipwreck is a terrible thing to contemplate under any conditions; the sea is so vast and the chances of rescue, even in these days, apparently so small. But when the sea disaster takes the form of fire, it is too ghastly to contemplate. The recent disaster to the Morro Castle, homeward bound from Havana with a gay party of tourists, when more than 150 of them lost their lives when the ship caught fire almost within sight of port, is in some ways far more shocking than the sinking of the Titanic. If as seems to be indicated from the early reports of the government investigation into the circumstances of this tragedy of the sea, the fire was deliberately set, the governments of the United States and of Cuba should spare no expense, utilize all their available resources, to hunt down the culprits and bring them to swift justice. We hope that the suspicion proves untrue. We would hate to believe that there are human beings so callous and so filled with hatred against their kind as to perpetrate a deed like that. But human passions and hatreds are running high in these troublous times, and it is impossible to say that any atrocity is impossible. In spite of this latest sea tragedy, mankind will continue to travel the ocean lanes. On the whole, we understand, there has been a smaller percentage of lives lost among ocean passengers in the past 50 years than among travellers by any other means of locomotion. IMPORTING OIL AND GRAIN deed like that. But human passions and hatreds are running high in these troublous times, and it is impossible to say that any atrocity is impossible. In spite of this latest sea tragedy, mankind will continue to travel the ocean lanes. On the whole, we understand, there has been a smaller percentage of lives lost among ocean passengers in the past 50 years than among travellers by any other means of locomotion. IMPORTING OIL AND GRAIN One of the big businesses in America which the government is seeking to regulate into prosperity is the oil industry. Oil production in the United States has been cut down by agreement, although the situation is not under control because a great deal of "hot' or bootleg oil is produced in Texas in spite of the efforts of the federal and state governments to prevent it. When the agreement to limit production in the United States was entered into it was understood that the importation of oil was to be cut down, too. The measure for the importation of oil from foreign fields was fixed as an amount not exceeding the average daily imports for the last six months of 1932. It was estimated that the imports were about 108,000 barrels a day. But it is now stated that the imports during the first six months of 1934 have exceeded the agreed measure in every month excepting February and that the importations for the period amounted to nearly 25,000,000 barrels. It would seem sensible to believe that at a time when the oil industry in America is overburdened with excess production, and the government is unable entirely to control it, that oil should come in the list of unnecessary imports. Why should we cut down oil production in America when oil is being imported from foreign fields and the money is going to workers in the foreign oil industry? THE RUSSIAN FIASCO It is now becoming evident that one of the biggest mistakes in foreign policy which our government has made in recent years was the recognition of Soviet Russia on the assumption that Russia would pay its debts, that our foreign trade would increase and that subversive propaganda in the United States would cease. It is now generally admitted that we are to be disappointed in all three assumptions, just as millions of patriotic Americans knew that we would be disappointed when the negotiations for Russian recognition were put under way. Stand Fast—America! By Den Walters Why do you read the newspapers? The answer is—and the reply is universal in this free country of ours—because we want the NEWS. As a nation, we believe in the truthfulness and the integrity of our newspapers. We rely upon the Associated Press, the United Press, the International News Service and other well-known news agencies to give us the FACTS. As the result of many years of service to us we know that is exactly what they do. We know our local editors and reporters. They are our neighbors. They belong to our town. They attend their home-town church, lodge, club, Chamber of Commerce and service organizations. We read the editorials and we accept them as one man's opinion. There may be times when we do not agree with that opinion but we believe that the editor is sincere. After all he may be right—and we usually find that he is. Thank God that under our Constitution, our newspapers still are free to print the facts and to interpret them in their editorial columns without governmental interference! But listen—America. That freedom of the press—which means so much to free Americans—is threatened! It is a threat which may develop into actual censorship which would entirely destroy this freedom—not only of the press but your freedom and mine. In many sections of the world newspapers are under governmental control—permitted to print only those items which some governmental bureau dictates. When that time comes, my friends, American liberty YOUR HEALTH Contributed by DR. CHARLES SCHULTZ DIET FADS Many people, having recently been interested in the treatment of physical disorders by means of natural methods such as diet, fresh air, corrective exercises, air and sun baths, and massages are of the belief that what is good for one is good for all, and in many cases have made it a habit to follow each new diet fad that they may have heard about through friends or neighbors. While it is true in great measure that natural methods of healing are good for all, it is also true that each individual case should be treated as case unto itself, and a diet prescripted by a physician skilled in administering natural methods. Of recent years we have heard much about so-called 'reducing diets', 'dealing diets', and the like, and a great many people have snapped at the with little or no thought other than "what is good for Mrs. Jones should be good for me." Diet as we know it, being such powerful factor in connection with maintenance of good health and correction of physical disorders, is something for the specialist to provide rather than to be picked up at random over the bridge table. It is often found that a diet as provided for someone friend or neighbor is not the one that will prove most helpful in connection with treatment of your own disorder or complication of disorders; therefore I always advise my patients and readers to follow a diet as outlined in their individual case by a physician. The latest news from our state department is that the negotiations for the settlement of Russian debts to the United States have broken down. R. Walton Moore, acting secretary of state, is quoted as stating: "We have gone the limit in making concessions on the material questions involved," and he added that "it was not possible to be optimistic that any agreement will be reached." If American diplomacy had examined Soviet Russia's past record carefully, before recognizing her, it would have been found that she has defaulted in her promises to other countries just as she is now defaulting toward the United States. Great Britain, Germany and other countries recognized Soviet Russia in the belief that the land of the reds would settle its debts and increase its foreign trade with its new "friends." In each case there has been disappointment. Now the United States is getting disillusioned in exactly the same way. Since Russian recognition our trade with that country has decreased rather than increased, and communistic propaganda and rioting in the United States have grown by leaps and bounds. Now it is becoming evident that Russia is not going to agree to pay its debts. Of course Russia would pay—providing we would lend her the money. What she wants is a big loan and a big credit for purchasing goods in the United States. Then, if this is brought about, she is willing to start paying her claims—of course in long drawn out installments which would be extended over a period of perhaps a quarter of a century. But the administration is evidently beginning to awaken to the fact that it has been bunkered by the soviets and it is announced that the terms set forth by Russia are unreasonable and cannot be accepted. Thus another great idea goes glimmering. The reds, pinks and hybrids who announced a few months ago that Russia recognition would restore our foreign trade and bring prosperity back to the United States have run for cover. But they will be out again when they think they can help put over something else on Uncle Sam. Thank God that under our Constitution, our newspapers still are free to print the facts and to interpret them in their editorial columns without governmental interference! But listen—America. That freedom of the press—which means so much to free Americans—is threatened! It is a threat which may develop into actual censorship which would entirely destroy this freedom—not only of the press but your freedom and mine. In many sections of the world newspapers are under governmental control—permitted to print only those items which some governmental bureau dictates. When that time comes, my friends, American liberty is gone. Is this an idle discussion? Far from it. Certain moves to curtail the freedom of American newspapers have been started. Fortunately, these moves did not succeed. Other efforts to throttle the American press are certain. Whether they succeed or fail depends largely upon you and upon me—as American citizens. Stand fast—America. Our liberty is imperiled. Think! Just one question. Did you vote at the recent primaries? STAND FAST, AMERICA, AND CAST YOUR BALLOTS. (NOTE. This is one of a series of eight editorials sponsored by STEADFAST CALIFORNIANS, ASSOCIATED.) McADOO ON ENTANGLEMENTS Senator William G. McAdoo recently returned from a trip to Europe and it became immediately evident that the California Senator's trip across the big pond had not affected his vision on international matters. In an interview published on his arrival in New York, Senator McAdoo intimated that it is about time that Uncle Sam give up what he termed our "milk-sop" policy in foreign affairs. He added that the mingling of Americans in the affairs of other nations was "hopeless" and expressed the opinion that we ought to keep out of foreign entanglements, and continued: "Far from appreciating our unparalleled generosity in reducing debts in the settlements mutually agreed upon, the debtor nations have repudiated their obligations without a semblance of justification, and with an utter disregard of every honorable consideration." These may sound like harsh words but they are undoubtedly justified. If Uncle Sam takes another flier in European politics or lends any more money for international enterprises we will be more than convinced that there is something serious the matter with his international judgment. WHAT WILL BECOME OF US? Tte other evening we heard a woman ask, "what in the world will become of the present generation?" That's an easy one. lady. They'll fall in love, get married, have children and do all sorts of things, and as they grow older they'll worry about what's to become of the younger generation. History of Anaheim Officially Recorded In Minutes of Anaheim Water Company, Which are Copyrighted, 1932, by Anaheim Gazette, and Printed In Weekly Installments The zanjero stated that $77.50 worth of water had been delivered during the last run.

Smith and presented the following proposition to the board, towit: "Los Angeles, July 22, 1879. To the Anaheim Water Co., a corporation: "I hereby offer and propose to be retained as associated counsel in the two cases now pending in the 17th district court, to-wit: Case No. 4014, Anaheim Water company vs. Ames Wright et al and case No. 7117, Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., Anaheim Water company et al, on the following terms and conditions to-wit: 1.

Reiser in the chair; all members present. The minutes of previous meeting read and approved. The secretary reported as follows: That on Monday the 28th day of July, he attended the meeting of the board of trustees of the C.I. company, and made a request for more water on account of our better and older claim to the water, and also laid claim to $11 as referred to at the special meeting of July 7, held by the directors of the A.W.Co." The trustees of the C.I. Co. received the bill of $11 with the promise to hand it to their auditing committee for action, and invited him (the secretary) to come before the general meeting of the stockholders of the C.I. Co. to be held Aug. 1st at 3 o'clock p.m. in the school house. Accordingly, the secretary was present at that meeting, presented our claim and stated that if no friendly arrangement could be entered into, that the A.W.Co. would be forced to get our rights complied with by other means. Mr. Langenberger reported that the bill of $11 had been returned and payment refused. To avoid trouble, it was resolved to withdraw this bill and pay it ourselves. The treasurer reported $324.85 cash on hand. The zanjero stated that $43 worth of water is to be delivered yet from the list of June 14th. He also reported that Mr. Sheffield ought to be requested to have new water taken up."

Instead of arresting any one in Damascus, he at once announced his change of convictions, and had to escapefrom the city by means of a basket let down from the wall. For three years he retired to Arabia. When he emerged he had a definite plan. He would go back to Jerusalem to be welcomed by the disciples, who would naturally choose him as their leader, and so he would become minister of the First Church in Jerusalem. It was a grand plan, but it met with bitter disappointment. When he arrived in Jerusalem the disciples were afraid of him and even after he had been vouched for by Barnabas, gave him a very grudging welcome. Rebuffed but still ardent, he went to his old home in Tarsus, a Greek city, where he had been born, a Jew but with full right of Roman citizenship, a fact of which he was immensely proud and of which he took full advantage. For a while he had little to do. Then Barnabas, a discoverer of men greater than himself, the discoverer of Mark, went to Tarsus and invited Saul to come to Antioch. After a very successful work in Antioch, Barnabas and Saul proposed to visit the old home of Barnabas in the island of Cyprus, and to preach as they went. This they did, and took with them Mark, who was a nephew of Barnabas. In Cyprus they had great success and established a friendship with the Roman governor, Serigus Paulus. Saul named for the Old Testament king, now changed his name to Paulus, probably after this governor. From Cyprus they went into the nearer regions of Asia Minor. And now an occasion of irritation arose. Barnabas was the leader of this journey, but Saul everywhere became the more prominent character. Barnabas was evidently a tall impressive man; Paul much smaller, more active, and nervous. In one place on the mainland they were received with such honor that there was a proposal to deify them; And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Saul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Mark did not like the way things were going. His uncle Barnabas was the really great man, but Saul was taking the lion's share of the honors. Mark made himself disagreeable, and Saul did not like Mark, who finally left the two other men and went back to Jesusalem. In due time Saul and Barnabas followed, and both at Antioch and later at Jerusalem gave a vivid account of a most successful tour. Thus far there had been no serious quarrel in the church, but the calm was about to be broken. Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co.
