From the Californian, March 15, 1848: the right to publish the Truth, ; —Alexander Hamil“Europe on the Eye’ _ is title of a book, recently published by Professor Frederick L. Schumann. It is fortunate that this book was in the hands of the reading public some months ago, as the foreign situation looks now as though it would soon render the title “‘Europe on the Eve,” out of date. With millions of men under arms, movement of troops to the borders of almost every European nation, and declarations of firmness of purpose by both Hitler, and his erstwhile appeaser, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of England, are not calculated to make one believe that the ‘“Hve” . is not drawing perilously close to the “Morrow.” Chamberlain, evidently having realized that the British people have had a stomach-full of ‘“appeasement” of the Munich variety, has decided to call a halt to the ever-growing demands of the Fascist nations, this time the demand of Hitler for the Free City of Danzig, and a passageway through the Polish Corridor. It is now apparent to even so singularly a nearsighted person as ‘Chamberlain, that Hitler’s demand for the concession of Danzig to the. Nazis, and the passageway thro the Polish Corridor, would be rely Hitler’s preliminary steps toward gobbling up all the rest of Poland. with its enormous sources of food supplies and war materials. Chamberlain must realize this. if he learned anything at all from7Hitler’s action in swallowing all of Czecho-Slovakia, after beating his breast like a Tarzan and wailing for the few thousand Germans in the Sudetenland. Of course with Chamberlain’s, pronounced. sympathy for the Axis powers, Germany, Italy, dnd Japan, it is not without the realm of probability that he may “sell-out”? Poland and the Polish people to the same sort of Fascist slavery into which he sold the peoples of Czecho-Slovakja, ~ The problem of what is going to happen resolves into something like ‘this: Britain, to protéct her interests in the Mediterranean, ane her “‘life--line of Empire’ to India; must stop Hitler now, as after Poland is gone Hitler’s ‘‘Drang nach QOsten’’ or march to the East becomes only a matter of overcoming a few weak Balkan states, Rumania, Bulgaria, and Greece, who are already decidedly pro-Nazi in sympathy. Jugoslavia, the only other Balkan state to consider has been directly under Fascist control _through Italy’s ‘‘conquest’” of Albania. Hitler, on the other hand, must now keep on with his demands, until he gets them or is confronted by such a show of determination on the part of England and France (which will act as England _instructs her) that he is forced to back down. This possibility is unlikely, as the Fascist economy is such that it must keep expanding, or perish. If Hitler does not get his demands on Poland and Danzig, he will undoubtedly face a revolution at home from the dis. gatisfied and downtrodden German workers who have suffered untold hardships to build Hitler’s huge fighting machine. Hitler’s only other alternative is to fight, and he must be prepared to fight a long war, and an expensive one. Military experts and his own generals do not believe that a lightning-like attack can win a war which will be resisted by not only the Poles, but by WBngland and France as well. This plan of attack may temporarily be successful, but not when the manpower and resources of ‘the anti-Axis powers come into full play. In all this it is apparent that England is the keystone of resistance to Hitler, as she has most at stake. It may be necessary for the English people to either force Chamberlain to resist or put a government:in office which will resist Hitler. Chamberlain who has been jestingly called the ‘‘Fascist Umbrella Man”’ by the British Press for his capitulation at Munich shows signs. of realizing that only ‘‘collectivesecurity” i. e. a united front of Democratic nations against Fascism ean stop Hitler. When this alignment of Democracies forms Hitler’s Nazi government will collapse either-through revolution at home,:or the defeat of his fight(Continued on Page Two) the Vol. 13, No. 68. The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Cénter FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 9 REPORT SAN JUAN GRAVEL PROJECT IS ABANDONED It is reported on good authority that the Melvill interests which have béen conducting an exploration through diamond drilling and shafts in the gravel deposits of the San Juan Ridge have abandoned this project Whether this is due to the high price set on the properties by owners said to aggregate $1,500,000, or not is unknown. But it seems certain that whatever value was placed on the gravel~holdings, exploration of the gravel deposits failed to warrant the price asked in the minds of those who contemplated the purchase. While it has been known for sometime that Melvill was acting for one of the largest English mining. companies in the world, the name of the company has never been revealed. It is estimated that more than $300,000 was expended in ascertaining the gold content of the gravel deposits. It is surmised that the imminence of another world war may also have influenced the decision of the management of the English company to abandon the project. ’ LAST RITES HELD. Edward Tibbetts who drowned in the Big Blue swimming hole in the diggings near Columbia Hill Sunday afternoon, was buried in the North San Juan cemetery Wednesday. Rev. Charles F. Washburn preached the service at the chapel in Holmes Funeral Home. Mrs. Charles’ Blliott sang two hymns and was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. R. E. Harris. Pall bearers were E. M. Cross, Dennis McCrandle, Dennis Wickes, George Harper, Martin Nichols and John Weilder. Tibbetts had resided ‘in the Columbia Hill4San. Juan _ section about six years. WINTER PEAR PROGRAM STARTS ANGUST 26TH Effective August 26, a marketing agreement program designed to assist winter pear growers of Oregon, California, and Washington has been given approval iby growers and handlers, the Division of Marketing and Marketing Agreements of the U. S. Department of Agriculture announced today. A marketing order, supplementing the agreement and making it applicable to all handlers, was issued following approval of the program by growers voting in a referendum, and by the signing of the agreement by handlers. Of a total of 1,263 growers voting in the referendum on the issuance of the order, 1,206, or almost 96 per cent of the growers vot‘ed in favor of the order. Handlers of 68 per cent of the total quantity of the six commercial varieties of winter pears shipped in interstate and foreign commerce from the _ three states during the 1938-1939 marketing season signed the marketing agreement, Issuance of the marketing order required approval of at least 50 per cent of the volume of these pears shipped in interstate .and foreign commerce during the 1938-1939 shipping season. Requested by members of the industry, the new marketing agreement and order replaces a similar Federal program which operated during the 1938-1939 marketing season, and covers the handling in interstate commerce of Anjou, Bosc, Winter Nelis, Doyenne du Comice, Clairgeau, and Waster varieties of pears. Administration of the program will be carried out by a grower-shipper committee of 12 members and their alternates, comprising one grower and one shipper member and alternate from each of the two districts in each of the three states. Major provision of the new program are as follows: (1) regulation e€ e 2 a FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR DAVID C. WAITE David C. Waite, born and reared on the old Waite ranch on ’ Deer Creek west of Nevada City January 14, 1878 died Tuesday afternoon. He had been a patient sufferer, ill for many years. It is believed he was poisoned by the cyanide process in milling as he had been a mill man a great portion of his life. Mr. Waite worked in mills in Nevada and Sierra counties and other parts of California, Nevada and Arizona states, He was a cheerful man and many acts of kindness endeared him to a wide circle of friends. Surviving Mr. Waite are his daughter, Mrs. Genevieve Heller of San Francisco; and the following brothers and sisters, Matt Waite and Mrs. Effie Morgan, Sacramento; Mrs. Bertha Alexander, Kirkland, Wash.; Benjamin Waite, who resides on the old homestead west of Nevada City.

And the county clerks are the keepers of the great registers, so they know whereof they are speaking. The reason, it seems, is that 20 oer cent of the registered voters failed to vote in either the August primary or the November general election of 1938, and so, voided their registration. Under the law, the county clerk had no other choice but to cancel their registration, notifying them, of course, that he had done :0, and instructing them as to the method of re-registering. Legal registration is now less than three million, whereas'in 1938 it was 3,611,416. Registration is open throughout the year, except the 39 days immediately preceding an election. Last date for registration for the special election called by Governor Olson for November 7 will be September 28.

Requested by members of the industry, the new marketing agreement and order replaces a similar Federal program which operated during the 1938-1939 marketing season, and covers the handling in interstate commerce of Anjou, Bosc, Winter Nelis, Doyenne du Comice, Clairgeau, and Waster varieties of pears.
