ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers A DEFINITE SOLUTION The only real solution of Orange county's water problem is to argument our present supply and the only available source at hand is Metropolitan water. The three cities, Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana, are already members. The rest of the county, or at least the two water districts, should become members. We understand that the Metropolitan Water District will announce tomorrow (Friday) the expense unincorporated areas will have to assume to become members of MWD. Whatever that rate is, we are sure it will be in keeping with what the property owner can pay. It will assure a definite amount of water for a definite amount of money. THE REAL SPANISH ISSUE The rebellion in Spain is not war to establish or defend constitutional freedom in the land of the Don. Granting that the original revolution which unseated King Alfonso, was led by men some of whom had in mind the establishment of a constitutional republic, the situation has entirely changed. The question now is whether Spain shall become a Communist or a Fascist country. All ideas of constitutional liberty have been lost sight of. The rebels, who are said to have enlisted three-fourths of the Spanish regulars, now seem to have in mind the destruction of Communism and the establishment of a Fascist state, while the reds and other extreme radicals have seized control of the so-called loyalist government. The lineup in Europe, outside unhappy Spain, proves what is going on. We see Mussolini and Hitler openly sympathizing with the rebels while Moscow is bending every effort to bring matters head, Mandini announces he will name the murderer the ship's concert, hoping the murderer will show him He meets Inspector Lorel of the detectives, and the for a walk.

The rebels, who are said to have enlisted three-fourths of the Spanish regulars, now seem to have in mind the destruction of Communism and the establishment of a Fascist state, while the reds and other extreme radicals have seized control of the so-called loyalist government. The lineup in Europe, outside unhappy Spain, proves what is going on. We see Mussolini and Hitler openly sympathizing with the rebels while Moscow is bending every effort to help the radicals in Madrid. France with a strongly radical government under Leon Blum is in sympathy with the Madrid leaders too, while Great Britain is apparently on the fence. If the Fascists win they may give Italy a naval base in the Mediterranean which would threaten the British route to India. If the reds win, it is very likely that Portugal will go red, too. And Portugal is a close friend of Great Britain, situated along the route to India, and capable of acting troublesome if Communist controlled. At any time may come an explosion which will touch off a general European war. Only the quick victory or the sudden suppression of the rebels might lessen the tension: Who knows? The United States is very wisely keeping out of the mess. There have been suggestions that Uncle Sam use his good offices by attempting to settle the fight. This would be a grave mistake. The war in Spain is one between two antagonistic principles, and it is being fought with savagery and violence little known in modern warfare. Any attempt on the part of Uncle Sam to intervent diplomatically, even with the best of intentions, would undoubtedly result in a whole set of burned fingers. Up to this time nobody has heard of any effort on the part of the much advertised League of Nations to settle the Spanish conflict. And there is certainly no justifiable reason for interference on the part of the United States. To "butt in" might involve us in another world war. OBSERVATIONS GET SENSE. MR. CONGRESSMAN! There are several Simple remedies which could be put into operation within six months which would pull this country out of the quagmire.

A charming actress who had a falling out with her husband got into court to find out who should get their child. Spice entered when the diary of the lady was read. The names of several boy friends cropped out; but they all crossed their fingers, saying it was purely platonic. KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING If the two chairmen of the national committees want any streets named after them they must give the dear public something better than glittering generalities. HERE'S A WAY OUT Congress could pass a law fixing the minimum price at which commodities should be sold. Take hay for instance. Make the price reasonable so the grower could get by. If there happened to be a shortage he would get the increase in price, which would be regulated by supply and demand. The government could do this, making it apply to all staple articles. It would make those middlemen squeal. That would be music to the ears of the producers. UPSETTING APPLE CART There was a time when the American worker was listed under a standard of living, that is his wages were higher than foreigners. Now comes reciprocal trade relations and foreigners flood this country with cheaply produced articles and the home producer gets the dole. CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING MR. CONGRESSMAN American makers of good tennis slippers list their wares for $1.50 a pair. Along comes Japan, sends over a good imitation slippers and they are sold for 50 cents a pair. This same cheap foreign labor competes with many other lines of American made goods. PICK-UPS AND THROWS Two lads were having a heated discussion. Said one: "I'll betcher the Red Socks win. The other countered: "Gee, but you are dumb. You're don't know nutting. The Giants are going to win, and I'll betcher this bunch of marbles. O.K. Michigan and Ohio—have 157 electoral votes.

The candidate carrying those states would be elected president. On the other hand if a candidate carried all the other states he would lose. If a nominee received a majority of only one vote at the general election in each of the above 13 states he would win, whereas if the other candidate carried all the other states unanimously he would be defeated. It is not the popular vote of the people which elects the president, it is a majority of the Electoral College.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Carole and Fred LOMBARD * MACMURRAY in "THE PRINCESS COMES ACROSS" Serialized by Wallace West from the Paramount Picture of the same name SYNOPSIS Princess Olga of Sweden, who in reality an American showwoman from Brooklyn posing as royalty to get a film contract, meets and falls in love with King Mandini, the Concertina king, aboard the S.S. Avignon bound for America. Darcy, a backmailer, who has received money from the bogus princess, found dead in her stateroom. The notifies Mandini who moves Darcy's body to an empty stateroom to avoid suspicion. A group of international detectives are searching the ship for the murderer, Merko, who has message under the name of Petroff. One of the detectives, Windorf, is found murdered in Petroff's stateroom. Petroff is named for both murders, although some of the detectives will suspect Mandini and the princess. To bring matters to a head, Mandini announces that she will name the murderer at the ship's concert, hoping that the murderer will show himself; he meets Inspector Lorel, one of the detectives, and they go on a walk. Meanwhile, the er. "You're Princess Olga of Sweden?" When she admitted it she was deluged with question as to her ancestry, her new job, what she liked for breakfast, etc., etc., ad nauseum. The Princess steadfastly refused to talk until a latecomer dashed up, pulled out a portable microphone and announced himself a representative of the International Films. "Just a few words," he pleaded. "This is a nation-wide hook-up." At that the girl stepped to the mike, sudden decision showing on her face. "This is the Princess Olga of Sweden, talking to ze great American people," she began in dialect. Then, taking a long breath, she added: "Oh; phooie! I'm really just Wanda Nash, of Brooklyn. I've been a fake but I'm coming home on the level." "She's ill; she's raving"; wailed Lady Gertrude, who had been standing near enough to hear the whole thing. "She's in love!" Now another man jammed his way through the gaping incredulous crowd. "So you think you could walk pect me to take you under my wing and keep protecting you for the rest of my life?" "Jag solta attal till mandar volt och yar silt tachlig amkar!" she ripped out at him in the language of her girlhood. "Sent oltar glad imver manda kalt Ja imkin ihrvar." "What does that mean, Princess?" he inquired humbly. "Yes," she answered as she flung herself into his arms. THE END A daily paper carries presidential poll figures day. In the right side column was a picture of G. O. P. candidate Solway wearing spectacles, with the page to the leftness of the Bourbon hat pulled his ears and wearing a smile, head turned looking ironically at him. It looked like he was Grass Root Governor laughing, according to The paper is a staucch One of the detectives, Windorf, is found murdered in Petroff's stateroom. Petroff is named for both murders, although some of the detectives will suspect Mandini and the princess. To bring matters to a head, Mandini announces that he will name the murderer at the ship's concert, hoping that the murderer will show himself. He meets Inspector Lorel, one of the detectives, and they go on a walk. Meanwhile, the princess and other officials have recovered definite information that Merko the murderer is one other than Lorel. They wish to save Mandini. Yes, Monsieur," the other muttered exultantly. "The end." With these words he swung round and jumped over the side of the ammer. And though Captain Hollis stopped the ship and covered searching boats, the body was not found. The arrival of the ship atarantine in New York was an event. Smith's carrier pigeons reached town long before and the whole story was smeared over front pages of the Bulletin. Nothing in here to make any trouble," King told Wanda after taking the paper over carefully. "You're still a Princess." Then, as nodded coldly he added: "Well, good-bye—and good luck. You said when we were cleared you'd go your way and I mine on my way." He stalked off. Just a minute please," cried a porter, rushing up a second lat- WASHINGTON SNAP-SHOTS The political campaign is on with a vengeance. Both major parties' presidential candidates take advantage of opportunities to put themselves and their views before the country. President Roosevelt is making a war of the drought states. Alfred Landon has made his initialump speeches in the Eastern states. He plans more. As the campaign gets into high, new issue is building itself up debates in Congress. It centers around the strike which has used down the Post-Intelligence-and deprived Seattle Washing- The language both candidates approve, Washington believes, certainly would apply in the Seattle case. Present federal law seeks only to protect employees from coercion by their employers. But Seattle offers an illustration of coercion by outsiders—not even employees of the same paper—which would be forbidden if Roosevelt-Landon language were added to the law. Washington's "mistake preventing" machinery apparently has slipped again.

It centers around the strike which has based down the Post-Intelligence and deprived Seattle, Washington, of its famous morning paper the first time in 71 years. The Seattle strike was called, theoretically, because a photographer and a dramatic critic were charged. The American Newsper Guild said they were fired union activities; the newsper's management insisted that was not true. Nevertheless, there were several other unions in the Post-Intelligence. The linotypers and printers and pressmen and mailers had contracts with the newsper at wages and hours satisfactory to them. They wanted to stay at work. But when Seattle's central Labor Council listed the Post-Intelligence as "unfair" and asked hundreds of pickets around the newspaper plant, even the men who wanted to couldn't go to work. The Seattle situation revives Washington discussion of a couple of previous statements by both President Roosevelt and Candidate Landon. In settling the 1934 automobile controversy, Roosevelt declared that it was the duty of government to protect employees against coercion or interference from any source." Landon, in agreement with his party's platform, has taken the same attitude and used those same words barring coercion of workers "from any source." Washington's "mistake preventing" machinery apparently has slipped again. In the current issue of Army Ordnance, the journal of the Army Ordnance Association, appears an article advocating private ownership and operation of munitions plants. The article, written by Major General William H. Tschappat, chief of army ordnance, says in part: "The War Department is convinced that in the event of war, American industry must produce the major portion of the required munitions. Assuming this premise, it follows that so far as practicable industry should be prepared for its war mission. * * * The War Department does not favor the nationalization of munitions manufacture. * * * Such a policy would fail in war and does not appear logical in peace." General Tschappat's attitude, which is understood to have the War Department's full approval, is diametrically opposed to that of the special Senate committee which has just completed a lengthy munitions investigation. What is worse, though, is that Washington observers are now asking this question: "If it isn't necessary for the government to maintain absolute control over munitions, which are essential to the nation's defense in time of war, how can control over other industries be justified?" THE FOUR FLUSHERS Those dictators over in Europe who carry chips on their shoulders, have a chance to fight now over that Spain flare-up, but it's a safe bet they will talk themselves out of it. RAINBOW CEREMONY A young man named White was married to a lady named Black by a J. P. named Green over in another state. No doubt the bride's other admirers turned purple with rage while the groom's sweeties got red in the face. HI, ALF! LO, F. D. R! A daily paper carried a page of presidential poll figures the other day. In the right hand outside column was a picture of the G. O. P. candidate sober looking, wearing spectacles, while across the page to the left was a likeness of the Bourbon nominee with a panama hat pulled down over his ears and wearing that hearty smile, head turned to the left looking ironically at his opponent. It looked like he was giving the Grass Root Governor the horse laugh, according to the figures. The paper is a stauch republican journal and no doubt when the editor lamped that setup he got as mad as the dickens. HIT AND RUN The third party candidate for president has as much chance of being elected as a barber would have making a living in Moscow. All he can do is to cut in on the vote in some states of either one of the two major party nominees where the contest is close. The states he might carry in the midwest and northwest wouldn't get him to first base in the Electoral College. THE TRUMP CARD The vote for president in the Eastern states between the republican and democratic candidates will be close. The republican vote in the north no doubt will offset the democratic vote in the south. It might so happen that California with 22 electoral votes will decide the contest. OFF BLOOMS Those three or four political sideshows which have been kicking up some dust in denouncing both the democratic and republi- can candidates for president have as much show to put a man in the White House as a snowboard would have in Yuma.
