The thought, probably, was that this sum was pretty close to nothing at all. But that was as it should be. The purpose of the Associa- tion of Commerce is not to maintain a bank balance. Neither is its function that of providing employment for one or two persons. Its job is to speak for the united business éommun- ity, to assume leadership in movements and enterprises to build e bigger and better city. On the basis of the reports submitted this job has, on the whole, been well-handled. Bismarck was the fastest growing city in North Dakota from 1920 to 1930. It certainly will be far and away the best city when the census is taken in 1940. To be sure, this is not entirely due to local effort and initia- tive. The fact that this is the capital, that space for govern- ment agencies was available in the new capitol building and the accident of geographical location had much to do with it, but it also is true that Bismarck met the opportunity for growth with open arms and has made a real effort to see that this growth was sustained and encouraged. We didn’t create the opportunity but we ‘have taken advantage of it. That is about all any com- munity can do. Cities, like individuals, cannot make bricks with- out straw. *- * * The next big step in developing Bismarck will be to take further advantage of our opportunties by fertilizing the Mis- souri valley with water from the river. It will not be an easy thing to get done but if the goal is attained and irrigation is well established in this valley Bismarck will, as the association’s irri- gation committee envisions, be “forever free” from the disas- trous effects of drouth. What that would mean to Bismarck and the area for miles on both sides of the valley is the kind of be realized there must be some very straight thinking and the in the eyes and drips off the end of the nose. : There is no royal road to agricultural success any more than there is an easy road to heaven. *. * *. The program adopted for this year is sound, sensible and easily possible of achievement, but there, too, the job will take some doing. Hardest of the 10 objectives to achieve, outside of irriga- tion, will be that of improving traffic and parking regulations and safety conditions. The safety movement is well under way here through the agency of the schools, The instruction being given in that subejct is sound and adequate. The 10-year-old of today usually is more conscious of safety needs than is the adult who preaches to him. The schools are presenting the mat- ter in such a way that it strikes home. Traffic and parking are as full of difficulties as a porcupine is of quills. The probability is that no solution which will be satisfactory to everyone can be reached. Too many people have too many different ideas to make this possible. But that the situation could be improved is undeniable. If the subject is approached with a desire to first ascertain the facts and then act accordingly it WILL be improved. - * * * The proposal to aid in farm development is allied with, but still apart from, the irrigation program. Whether we irrigate or not, people will continue to live on our prairies. An ideal situation would be even bigger farms than we now have with a ind Scenes Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 4.—Most forecasts as to the type of neutrality legislation which congress will pass at this ses- sion indicate that sometimes we will mean it and sometimes we won't. Experts who have revealed their views on the problem usually are con- vinced either that there is no such thing as neutrality or that, even if there is, there’s little chance of this country ever keeping completely aloof from a big war through legislation. There is so much difference on these and numerous other points that many of the people who feel most strongly about keeping out'of war are all mixed up. Some of them feel that the United States can’t help having an economic and political interest in any big war. Others fear that the fact no neutral- ity policy can operate impartially is always likely to drag us into trouble against our will, because there'll al- ways be a chance that some nation will feel our policy is discriminating against it. ie * Mandatory Law Unlikely One vociferous school of thought holds that only mandatory legislation automatically embargoing implements of war to belligerent nations, along with other safeguards, can keep us at peace. But the outlook is for a law which will allow the president and the state department considerable discretion in invoking such safeguards. Even those shouting loudest for “manda- tory” legislation admit the president should have some discretion over em- bargoes as to war supplies other than munitions. Although one principle of manda- tory legislation would be that what- ever embargoes were declared should be enforced against all belligerents, | one need only recall our shipments of supplies to the Allies when Ger- many was blockaded; our considera- tion of embargoing oil in the Italo- Ethiopian war, when only Italy would WHEN Do © GET A CHANCE To SIT Down? have suffered; and the recent em- bargo on arms to Spain, which in- jured only the Spanish government, to see another large avenue to possi- ble complications.

But this sentiment is unlikely uch statements were “just a lot of hogwash.” Surely, it isn’t possible that Messrs. Lagger and Erickson have been feeding a lot of “hogwash” to the to influence congress. Neutrality as applied to Mexico and otherf Latin American republics is a still more ticklish question.

Families forced off the prairie by such adjustment could find homes in the irrigated areas, but that is not an aim of the Association of Commerce. The association can be most helpful by trying to improve conditions without reference to any shifting of population. A; The best means at hand is support of the soil conservation service, by fostering the baby chick and turkey poult movement and by aiding in the purchase of horse, dairy and beef sires. The need is particularly serious in the latter two classifications. Lest we put all our hopes in irrigation, it is only fair to say that with pasture furrowing our prairies will grow more grass and with contour plowing and listing many acres which now pro- duce a thin, scrawny crop, if anything, will yield more bounti- fully. *. * * Other objectives are more or less of a routine nature. They will require thought and application to the job in hand but are not as difficult as some of the others.
