The San Francisco Rezional Ser-_ vice Committee has prepared a series of six articles about these grants, of which this article is the second. a The first Spanish grant in Califor. nia, actually a grazing permit signed by Governor Pedro Fages, -was made in 1784 to Juan Jose Dominquez, a Spanish soldier who came to; San Diego in 1769 from Baja California. Similar allotments were made to a number of soldiers before the end of the Spanish regime in 1822. Most of them later were confirmed by the Mexican government. ; Dominquez’ San Pedro Rancho, some 75,000 acres in extent took in tthat coastal region where now are the cities of San Pedro and Wilmington. He built a small adobe house’on a hill sloping down to the sea and liyed, there for 20 years, accumulating wealth in the form of 5000 horses and 1000 cattle. Part of the\ rancho ® subsequently . passed into the hands of the Sepulveda family, whose holdings of 31,000 arcres were called Rancho Los Palos Verdes. _ Jose Maria Verdugo, received permission in 1784 to graze cattle on what later became his 36,000 acre Rancho San Raphael in the vicinity SE.

Although the war food administration recommended the Friant-Kern (Canal, the congress appropriated $7,000,000 for its construction, the war production. board early in August, again’ refused: to release materials for it. The Contra Costa Canal is still under consideration: Added power units at Shasta’ and Keswick Dams may be reconsidered if future developments in the fuel oil situation warrant, but completion of the two 75,000 KW units at Shasta apparently is deemed by the war production board to be sufficient to take care of anticipated ‘power demands in Northern California in 1944: and 1946, Completion’ of Shasta Dam and ‘its two power units is assured. ‘Continuation ‘of concrete work on Keswick Dam has been approved in order to have it ready for installation of electric generators if the need for them becomes apparent.

In order to speed food production, for instance, efforts to obtain approval of war agencies and appropriations by congress for accelerated construction of certain irrigation features of the project have been supported by the governor, the California Farm Production Council, the State Water Project Authority, the California State ‘Chamber of Commerce, and other ofificial and civic agencies, Long term problems discussed in the allocation of costs of the project on its several Several citizens accepted the club’s invitation to hear him.

The American Merchant Marine ‘Institute in presenting a ten point; . Pprogram for post war shipping, ad;vocates that vessels sailing, under our flag should carry a greater portion of America’s foreign trade than they did in the periods preceding this war. The Institute sets forth also that ,a long range building program such as was established under the Mercontinued, to supply this country ‘with fast freighters and a new fleet of passenger vessels to replace those jtaken over during the war emergency. The Institute does not stipulate the share of commerce which should be carried under our own flag, but in the postwar studies made in preparation of the report it was discovered that in 1938 only 20 per cent of our own exports and imports were shipped on American vessels. At the same time, the Axis powers —Germany, Japan and Italy—were steadily enriching themselves, not only in tonnage but in dollars, which made them much more powerful and dangerous enemies when war came. . The three aggressor nations carried almost 12 per cent of Ameica’s own commerce. Information compiled by the Institute shows that in 1938 Germany . carried 4,333,000 long tons of cargo ‘either originating in this country or feotise for domestic use from oth.er countries. Italian vessels carried It, 680,000 tons while Japan almost equalled Germany’s figure with 4,. 425,000 tons. The American flag ships during ithat same period carried = slightly more than 22,000,000 tons, or only about twice the amount transported by the Axis powers. While doing those profitable chores for American business men, foreign shipping -allowed this country very little of their own trade. ‘The study shows that they carried most of their own merchandise and passenger traffic. Japan was carrying almost 70% of her own commerce; Germany: was confining 58% to her own ships and Italy 46%. “ scribes such commerce as trade from American ships permitted war. This country’s desire to carry an jincreased share of its trade may not seem unreasonable, according to the institute, when it is pointed out that prior to the war about 25% of all the world’s commerce originated in the United States or was destined for this country.

The American flag ships during ithat same period carried = slightly more than 22,000,000 tons, or only about twice the amount transported by the Axis powers. While doing those profitable chores for American business men, foreign shipping -allowed this country very little of their own trade. ‘The study shows that they carried most of their own merchandise and passenger traffic. Japan was carrying almost 70% of her own commerce; Germany: was confining 58% to her own ships and Italy 46%. “ scribes such commerce as trade from American ships permitted war. This country’s desire to carry an jincreased share of its trade may not seem unreasonable, according to the institute, when it is pointed out that prior to the war about 25% of all the world’s commerce originated in the United States or was destined for this country.
