proval today.
The seed planted here by those early adventurers has
grown into mighty nations, spanning the area of the western
hemisphere. Nations founded and built by men and women
with an unquenchable hatred for tyranny and a passionate
devotion to freedom and democracy. The discovery by Columbus gave them fetile soil in which to nurture their convictions.
In the 451 years that have elapsed since Columbus planted foot on the new world, it has become the hope of the old
world. On the soil of his own native Italy today, American
boys in uniform are rekindling the spark of liberty and democracy crushed for years by the heel of a dictator. They are
fighting the same forces of ignorance, prejudice and intolerance that plagued Columbus all his life. That courageaus explorer, if he were alive today,undoubtedly would be in the
forefront of the battle.
AE REAR Ig
LOOKING AHEAD TO 1944
While California agriculture this year has been fortunate
so far in harvesting a bumper crop, it is wise to look at the
labor pool for the 1944 harvest season, for industry on the
Pacific Coast is calling upon more and more men to take care
of what they call a serious labor shortage.
' Before a Senate Military Affairs Sub-committee recently, Don H. Roney, assistant regional director for the War
Manpower Commission, said that the West Coast industries
would need to recruit 178,000 additional workers for shipyards and airplane factories by January . .
. The latter part of this year and the first of next is the
season when farm labor is not needed to any great extent and
it will be the tendency of many of these workers to drift to
the war industries. It will be an easy watter for them to secure
a certificate of ‘availability, which is required, particularly in
view of the fact that there is no work for therm. But by the
same token, when the harvest season comes next year and degnands are made for help, these same workers will not be allowed to quit their jobs in industry and return to the farms,
for it has been rarely, if ever, that employers in industry will
allow workers certificates of availability to quit their jobs to
go back to the farm. x
To keep many of these workers busy in agriculture until
the next harvest will take planning and will undoubtedly,
mean money out of the pockets of the farmers, but it may be
necessary to hold them on their present jobs.— Associated

is FREIGHT RATES AND THE FARMER
"The future welfare of California has been placed on the
political auction block by the recent introduction in conress
of a series of Uniform Freight Rate Bills. These meaures propose to “freeze” freight rates with distance as the sole basis
of computation.
Such legislation would shift the authority for establishing rates from the Interstate Commerce Commission to congress, and the effect here would be an exorbitant rise in freight
rates for California farmers and other shippers.
This threat to California industry and agriculture cannot
be overestimated. The ability to merchandise California products in large quantities is dependent on successful marketing
in centers far removed from the source of production. Farthest from the heaviest consuming markets of the mid-west and
Atlantic Coast, as well as farthest on the receiving end from
points at.which manufactured articles and farming machinery
originate, California would suffer from her geographical
handicap by a severe crippling if not total loss of the markets.
If the rates on fresh vegetables, fruit and canned goods,
sugar and lumber, for instance, were placed on a rigid mileage
basis; it would mean virtual elimination of Pacific Coast products from eastern markets.
Governor Warren actively opposed these bills at a recent joint conference of western and southern governors by
leading the western governors’ resistance to such harmful leg‘islation. California cannot and must not submit to interruption
in interstate commerce so vital to her maximum development.
CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT’S FUTURE
: Just about ten years ago, in the late fall of 1933, after a
long, hard campaign by far-sighted farmers and industrial
water users, the people of California voted their approval of
construction of the Central Valley Water Project. And last
week, as if to commemorate the anniversary, Central Valley

Ickes announced that a five-year contract for’ purchase of
Shasta Dam power had been negotiated with the Pacific Gas

mission line to Oroville, which Ickes intends to build. This,
incidentally, confirms the contention of Congressman Carter
and Elliott and other California representatives, who had opposed spending $1,250,000 on the Oroville power line at this
time on the ground that the government couldn't use it and
would be forced to rent it to the private company.
Of paramount importance, however, is the fact that an
advantagous sale of Central Valley power has been made, at
least for the duration of the war, and that the vast project will
soon start taking in revenue. ;
But California farmers, who carried the brunt of the
long battle for the water program, still have a vital job to do
in safeguarding the future of the Central Valley Project. For
when the war ends, the war debt will still have to be paid—
and appropriations to complete the project may be very uncertain. With that in mind, the $3,000,000 a year power revenue should be used or carefully ear-marked for later use in
completing the canals and conduits without which the water
stored behind Central Valley dams can never be utilized to
bring relief to arid farm lands.
The Central Valley Project was initiated to provide water
in dry years. Its power revenues should be stored away, in the
same manner, to provide needed construction funds in dry
appropriation years.

fully with everything you say. But
these facts are presumed to be
taken into consideration by the ra, tioning agency—the “Office of
. Price Administration—in the development of its ' rationing program. Given a shortage of supply
the rationing program should serve
as a. protective measure assuring
the necessary for those uses
that are more essential in the
prosecution of the war through
restricting the consumption in the
essential categories. -Only if
the priority of war industry .and
agriculture, and the local. conditions of which you speak, are taken fully into account in the rationing process, can the result be
sound. In this connection I am
forwarding to Mr. Prentiss Brown
a copy of your letter so that he
may .-have the benefit of your suggestions. i
Oil is a product which vitally
affects the life of the country and
it is the policy ofthe petroleum
administration for war to inform
the public of the full facts to .the
extent that military secrecy permits. There. have been numerous
investigating committees on the
oil subject and I feel that little
would be gained by the further investigation suggesited even though
participation by Mr. Baruch would,
of course, insure a fair minded inquiry. You speak of an ‘impartial
study’. Permit me to say that the
petroleum administration for war
is a decidedly impartial agency
from the standpoint you are discussing. Its objective is to-do
every-thing physically possible to
see that the requirements of the
military forces. of industry, of
agriculture, and of civilian areas
met and, to the extent that this is
not possible, that a sane order of
priority in uses prevails.
As we progress further with
our supply and demand estimates
in collaboration with the military
and are able to release to the public more complete facts as to the
situation, we shall do so. And as
this is done, I do hope the state
chamber will lend the full force of
its influence to the support of the
government’s program. Meanwhile
I can assure you that there is
nothing in the foregoing that is
overdrawn or that is without support in fact. The requirements of
the war ‘have simply outrun our
present productive capacity so far
as oil is concerned.
_ I have no objection to your
making use of this* letter in any
way that you may see fit.
Sincerely yours,
RALPH K. DAVIES,
Deputy Petroleum Administrator.
