adwithout giving committee rigation verse interests a chance to be heard By the merest accident Representative J W Robinson of Utah a member of that committee got wind of the scheme to take rap judgment while he was attendingt Hurrying another Important hearing the Irrigation committee room he found it crowded with Californians and their lotvcr He halted the proceedings basin allies and demanded an explanation of the discourtesy and irregularity by which his congressional privilege and rights of a half dozen states were being ignored Representative James B Scrugham of Nevada sponsor for the bill to revise regulation of the power and irrigation project after vainly trying to excuse the surreptitious rush to report a measure introduced three days previously finally consented to a postponement of Its consideration This is not the first attempt of the California contingent to railroad one sided programs through congress with reference to the dam and it is not likely to be the last Representative Robinson’s prompt and aggressive action is appreciated by the people of this and every other state of the upper basin Should the Colorado river bill in its present form become a law it Is feared that certain advantages sought by California will be gained at the expense of Utah and other upper basin states In looking after their own Interests in trying to promote the welfare of their commonwealth Californians need no assistance from outsiders They know what they want and are adept in confusing and overcoming opposition to their plans Other states supplying Lake Mead with water and the southwest with power might profit by taking a leaf from the book of the Golden state in relation to employment of experts application of technical knowledge and the supreme virtue of unanimity in obtaining desired results This afternoon at the governor's office in the state capltol in Salt Lake City the water storage commission will reconvene for further discussion of the California plan embodied in the bill sponsored by There ought Representative Scrugham to be a free and frank interchange of opinions a willingness to discard premature conclusions and a manifest desire to protect and advance the best interests of Utah and incidentally of those states having similar claims upon the project for which their watersheds contribute the essentials of electric energy No factional fights nor perverse judgments nor personal promises nor preconceived notions should be allowed to interfere with a thorough examination of all Issues involved or to prevent a harmonious

time "Politics makes strange bed fellows” according to some sneering sage of the past But diplomacy Is playing such fantastic tricks before mankind that the devil must be convulsed with laughter Look at the flirtation between Russia and Japan Note how Great Britain is trying to cut in while the music keeps going Consider the alliance between Hitler and Stalin in view of their early aversion to each other Watch Mussolini repeating to the Balkan states the vow he made to Austria See France trying to catch step with Italy and listen to the hymns of hate they all sing when no neighbor is

"I've always noticed that people with good teeth hardly ever have a good head of hair and that people with a nice shaggy head of hair geneially have bad teeth" So says Frank my Times square barber "1

manage to unite the Mc- Democrats organization Adoo Olson and Creel After a long series of conferences in which he blended threats and cooings in a nice persuasive mixture he obtained their consent to Join in a “harmony” slate of delegates pledged to the third term This at least consolidated whatever political strength the third term enjoys on the west coast McAdoo subsequently retired from the delegate race announcing that he was through with everything political except his present large salary But as he also emphatically declared his his support for the Ickes slate Imretirement does not seem portant The remaining troubles in California arise in the wilder fringe Lieutenant Governor Patterson was at first Included among Ickes’ harmonlzers Association with Olson proved loo much for him

Utah politics in the first two decades of statehood which ended with the election of Simon Bamberger for governor in 1916 The vote of the La Follette element in the Republican party went to Woodrow Wilson electors on the Progressive ticket in 1916 This business was managed for the Progressives by Allen T Sanford and by the writer for the Democratic state committee Mrs Jarvis H Wolfe then a clerk

The State 0 The Nation By Olin Miller Congress has never been quieter than during this session A political columnist who ought to be ashamed of himself has suggested that perhaps congress has broken a precedent of long years standing and was trying to think A more plausible explanation Is that it Is extremely difficult to talk with an ear to the ground At any rate congress has been so quiet that If a third term hint were dropped at the White House however softly it could easily hear It For many years congress and starlings have been convening In Washington at the same time but this Is the first year In which the starlings are considerably noisier than congress Squire Perkins say: "You can't develop yo’ backbone by seltln’ on th’ south end of it " Distributed by Esquire Features Inc Reproduction strictly prohibled Chief Justice Hughes’ father was a minister and was deeply disappointed whrn his son chose the law for his calling instead of the ministry This holds that Mr Welles did accomplish something but not what is above represented On the contrary it is contended the results of his visit were the reverse of beneficial it is asserted he contributed Undoubtedly to "pulling the pins" from under Daladier in he weakened Chamberlain of France England and his visit inspired the carefully staged conference between Hitler and Mussolini at the Brenner pass In addition it gave currency to the story that Germany and the United States would again resume full diplomatic relations That through an exchange of ambassadors at this time such action certainly would be interpreted in Germany as a friendly gesture involving qualified American approval was clear Naturally the thought was unwelcome to the allies Since Mr Welles’ return it is said by those who ought to know that that idea is "out" that it came exclusively from German sources and never had anv real foundation Of course It is not contended that Mr Welles consciously — or willingly — contributed to the Daladier downfall added to Mr Chamberlain's troubles and caused the demonstration that the axis is still functioning In his icy way Mr Welles is as the president His contribuas pro-all- y tion to these results was unwitting Largely It was due to the fact that his presence inevitably promoted the talk of peace negotiations at the very moment when that kind of talk was most embarrassing to both England and France ni Had Nothing to Propose The facts that he had no proposal to make to any ruler that they made none for him that his conferences — in Italy and Germany — were conducted through interpreters and that it is absurd to suppose in so brief a period he could gain any Information not already possessed by our very competent ambassadors— Kennedy Bullitt and Phillips — these facts did not offset the impression that Mr Welles’ primary purpose was to Inquire into the prospects for ppace If that was not the idea then nothing about his trip made sense His statement just before sailing for home made tt clear he had nothing of great importance to impart to the president when he returned It wasn't necessary to say so — It was too obvious that he couldn't have The Whitie House warning against speculation about the Welles report and the presidential determination to keep it a "deep seert" are humorously regarded by the more levelheaded men In the state department There has been some mystery about just who Inspired Mr Roosevelt to make this gesture No one seems sure about the origin of the idea But one thing is certain— It did not come from Mr Cordell Hull 1 dri w w h Ju Ho t Hi Hi coi
