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 Farmer. i 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 coming a successful, going project, when Secretary of Interior Ickes announced that a five-year contract for’ purchase of Shasta Dam power had been negotiated with the Pacific Gas The P. G. & S. will pay approximately $3,000,000 a year the power—and guarantees a minimum of $2,775,000 a ar—beginning January . , 1945, which the Reclamation declares “‘a fair and equitable price.” * The governwill deliver the power at the Shasta usb-station of the ry, but the P.

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. You CAN SEE when traffic jams a highway or people stand in the aisles of a train. But you can’t tell when Long Distance lines are crowded by looking atatelephone. _ When they are, the operator will say—‘“‘Please limit your call to 5 minutes. Others are waiting.”’ That’s a mighty good rule for these days. Helps you. Helps us. Helps the war. Buy War Bonds for Victory THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY 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. oil lesis WANTED $50.00 GOLD PIECE Will pay $100.00 up, depending on variety and condition. of coin. Also other pioneer gold coins.
