HATS OFF TO CAL-JUICES One year ago this new industry came to make Anaheim its home. It sought to help make up that little difference between profit and loss which was slowly throttling the citrus grower. Like the weather, which everyone talks about, the orange business is a matter for much discussion. The effect of low producer return has been felt greatly in this locality. Many people, vitally interested, had not put their collective shoulders to the wheel. They merely talked and let someone else bear the burden and stigma of diminishing returns. With the coming of Cal-Juices the people of Anaheim, whether, connected with the industry, in any way, or not, have found a new way in which to help increase grower returns. We believe Anaheim is unselfishly back of Cal-Juices, just as they are behind any other group which is determined to benefit the citrus industry. So, on this, their first birthday, we say hats off and orchids to Cal-Juices, its officers, directors and personnel.

Herbert Hoover, only living ex-President, writing in the American Magazine, says that "we may have to go to war again," but adds: "That war should be on this hemisphere alone and in the defense of our firesides or our honor. For that alone should we pay the price." President Roosevelt is quoted as saying that the policy of his Administration is to prevent war in any part of the world because anything that can be done to stop war is good. Here are two respected American statesmen, both with the will of peace, but with views somewhat divergent. With Mr. Hoover, most Americans will instantly agree that the place for American soldiers to fight is on American soil—at least, on the soil of the American continents. With Mr. Roosevelt, most Americans will also agree that the prevention of war in any part of the world is good. Yet, while both men are earnest in their stands, an instinctive feeling arises that Mr. Roosevelt may be a trifle too hopeful as well as too bold. No ideal could be more highly motivated than his ideal that it be well to prevent war in "any part of the world." But can we prevent it? We couldn't—in 1914! If Mr. Roosevelt, undoubtedly a man of extraordinary influence throughout the world, can exert that influence to prevent faraway war, he will perform a universal service all his countrymen will applaud. But if he cannot accomplish that, Mr. Hoover's advice that we confine our military activities to home defense will find a warm echo in many hearts—particularly in those of Gold Star mothers and the inmates of veteran's hospitals. MAN'S GREATEST WEAKNESS JAMES T. MANGAN, ace writer of inspirational copy, believes that laziness is man's greatest weakness. In his little book, "Push," published by The Black Cat Press of Chicago, he vigorously attacks the habit of laziness. He points out that almost all other negative qualities are due to laziness. "Conquer laziness and you conquer fear," he writes. "It's easy to see that you can't be afraid, you can't worry, while you conquer procrastination, for when you are keyed up to do all things and to do them promptly, you just can't bring yourself to put things off. A world of time is at your disposal and your life is released for the happy work of producing. Conquer laziness and your inferiority complex disappears overnight. The man who is full of action cares nothing for excusing himself, explaining his action, finding fault with others. The busy man is the happy man, the Superior Man." "Goodbye to fear, to sensitiveness, to worry, to inertia, to procrastination; to all inferior feeling, once you have conquered laziness. And when you bid laziness a final farewell, the world suddenly will discover you and say: 'Here is Somebody!'." "Goodby to fear, to sensitiveness, to worry, to inertia, to procrastination, to all inferior feeling, once you have conquered laziness. And when you bid laziness a final farewell, the world suddenly will discover you and say: 'Here is Somebody!'."

[You are cordially invited to see the Bell System Exhibit at the Golden Gate International Exposition] SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY 217 North Lemon Street — Telephone Anaheim 2101 The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine GERMAN DRUMS DANZIG—Last week occurred 20th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the treaty that was going to insure peace of Europe forever. No celebrations marked the date. Instead, all eyes were on the man who had torn that document to tears, Adolf Hitler. That day was on a Bavarian mountain directing a campaign to reclaim for the German fatherland the Free City of Danzig, neutralized and placed in customs union with Poland by the treaty-makers. The fuhrer's well-oiled propaganda machine went into high gear, as his high-powered army stood by prepared, if need be, to force the leader's will, Europe's drums throbbed louder and fatter. No longer was there any doubt that Hitler is determined to have Danzig this summer, preferably without war, but, if necessary, with war. Nor could there be any doubt that, as matters now stand, land would fight rather than be up the mouth of the Vistula. But the big question was whether Island's allies, Britain and France, could also go to war. Despite a great Anglo-French outcry of warnings that further aggression would be met "by force," the Nazis believed that when the showown came Britain and France, as they did last summer over Czechoslovakia, would not only back down but would try to restrain Island from resisting. The nazis followed through that we can meet, in the future, circumstances much more favorable than those that exist today. I hold that Germany, Italy and Japan are in a position to conquer today all their enemies combined. The hour, therefore, has sounded to take the supreme risk." Though many thought this tense style highly unlike the author of Mein Kampf, and very much like the political section of the German Intelligence, the story did much to make the French jittery. They frankly expected a Danzig coup over the weekend. The weekend passed without one. So many alarming rumors (and war preparations) had spread over Europe that Hitler apparently decided that the hour was not quite as propitious as he had thought. An "authorized" (but unidentified) nazi spokesman delivered an extraordinary announcement; prompted by Neville Chamberlain's statement to the house of commons that armed Germans had already entered Danzig. Said he: "We have no desire to go against the territorial integrity of Poland. If we had wanted to let the matter come to military action, we could have done so anyday ... There are no German soldiers going into Danzig with tourist skirts on..." This declaration failed to reassure anyone. There are many more week-ends to go before Europe can be sure that it is not headed this summer toward another bloody destiny. FILIBUSTER supreme court What they fought about this time was the bill to extend the president's power over money, but what they were principally sore at was each other. There were four main issues involved in the money bill: 1) The purchase of foreign silver. Congress proposed to end this practice and the administration did not seriously object. 2) The purchase of U.S.-mined silver at above the world price—a subsidy to domestic silver producers. The "economy-minded" senate proposed to boost the price for domestic silver from 64.64 cAn oz. (world price around 40c) to 77.57c. 3) Continuation of the stabilization fund (created in 1894 out of a $2-billion paper "profit" from the devaluation of the dollar) which is used to protect the exchange value of the dollar from violent fluctuations during crises. 4) Extension of the president's power to reset the gold content of the dollar as low as 50 per cent of its old value (present value 59c). The administration has not used this power, has no present plans for using it except in some emergency if the pound sterling and franc should collapse. The senate proposed to let this power (a threat of inflation) expire—in effect, to take it back into the hands of congress until it is again needed. Last fortnight the senate's hard money men led by Virginia's Carter Glass killed the section of the bill renewing the president's power to revalue the dollar by getting Key Pittman's silver bloc to join them—the price being 77.57c an oz., for domestic silver. In Hyde Park, President Roosevelt hit the ceiling. The president returned to Washington from Hyde Park a day early to lead the money fight in person.

Despite a great Anglo-French outcry of earnings that further aggression would be met "by force," the azis believed that when the showown came Britain and France, as they did last summer over Czechoovakia, would not only back own but would try to restrain land from resisting. The nazis followed through their by now familiar routine of "war of nerves" by massing boops on the Polish border, smugging men and ammunition into anzig, spreading tales of terror, creating incidents and sounding else alarms. While war fears rose in Britain and France, in Germany the people believed that their fuhrer was again going to save his way by simply threatening to fight. That was not the situation, however-reflected to the outside world by the German opaganda machine. A purported Hitler speech to a purported war council" that the fuhrer mistily appointed "leaked" into the lands of French Rightist Deputy Benri de Kerillis, who also hapens to be editor of L'Epoque. "The die is cast," Hitler was quoted as saying. "We cannot treat now. Our backs are against the wall. It is not a queston of knowing if I am right or strong in posing so brutally the anzig question. What is done is done, and we must accept the consequences. We must have our way, whatever the cost, in the new weeks which still separate us from the autumn months.

Various senators delayed matters until 11:30 p.m., when by prearrangement with the Republicans, Democrat Tydings of Maryland, whom Franklin Roosevelt tried to "purge" last year, got the floor. The galleries were packed. Majority Leader Barkley's jaw muscles twitched in angry impotence. Sweetly relishing his revenge, Senator Tydings cried: "Shall we, now that the time limit is expiring, recapture the right vested in the congress by the constitution to fix the value of the nation's money? Or shall we give up that power in advance, without an emergency, to the president of the United States, and deprive ourselves ourselves of the power, in case of future need, to take action that congress may deem wise?" angry impotence.
