respect to the oil regions in the vicin-
ity of the Panama canal.
As viewed by shrewd students of
foreign relations here, the present
trend of events is leading directly to-
ward natural conflict of great in
terests over the question of the oil
production of the caribbean countries.
The people of the United States and
Great Britain have sensed, in part,
the significance of the British gov
ernment's interest in the Cowdray oil
properties in Mexico through the re-
lations of that government to the
Huerta regime in Mexico.
1t is not generally realized here
that not only is the interest of the
British government in the Cowdray
concessions in Mexico vital and i'm
portant and to certain extent
mutual for an indefinite period, but
that it is extending its moral support
to his company in efforts which, if
successful, would give to the British
concern virtual control of the
major part of the oil production in
the region of the Panama canal.
What would be perfectly normal
situation Of keen competition for ac-
QUESTION, one of the richest oil fields
the world has ever yet known, is
complicated by the attitude taken by
President Wilson with respect to the
development of Latni- American nat
ural resources. President Wilson in
his Mobile speech declared himself as
opposed to the granting of conces-
sions by Latin-American govern.
ments, and announced that it was the
mission of the United States to free
these governments from foreign DOM
nation.
Great Britain has made with Lord
Cowdray contract extending over
4 term of years for obtaining con-
tinuous supply of oil fuel at steady
price for the use of the British navy.
Until she has acquired complete con-
troll over some source of oil supply.
as yet the locality of which is not
indicated, Great Britain is to devote
herself to storing up at home and in
al her naval stations, throughout the
world, great reserve supplies of oil
fuel -
Aside from the private interests
involved, it is most emphatically de-
clared by specialists in the subject,
that the United States simply cannot
neglect her tremendously vital inter
ests by reason of possession of the
Panama canal, and that control of oil
supplies in that region must not be
permitted to fall, into the hands of
potential enemies Sf the United
States. t'a9 - 4:,i"fo3 =

the United States is to get any

pared to meet and conquer powerful
trade rivalry of other nations, es-

Mr.. Hutchinson holds that the

the peoples of all the leading coun-

country, there will be numerous
other competitors. He says that i'm
portant rivals, but to a less degree
than England and Germany, will be
France. Belgium, Italy, Spain, and
Russia Holland and Austria Hungary
also contribute TO a small exten'
10 the trade with China and Japan.
On the other side Of the equation
will be the lands which provide a
market for the goods of these va
rious countries. These countries
which import American goods, fall
into two distinct classes: Those SO
definitely within the zone of influ-
ence Of the canal that the trade
routes to them from the Eastern
United States and Europe must OF
necessity be via the new waterway:
those so situated that even after the
completion of the canal there will
be alternative rival routes open fc"
use.
To the former class belong the
countries Of the west coast of South
America, the west coasts Of Contra!
America, Mexico, the United States
and British CoJImbia, and the Pa
cific Islands. The second class will
include New Zealand and Australia,
the Philippines and the Orient geh-
orally, with increasing Influence OF
the canal as one passes up the
Asiatic coast to Japan.
Mr. Hutchinson seeks to make it
plain that if the United States is
10 get large benefits in trade out
Of the canal its merchants must
study conditions; they must under"
stand the limitations of the new
route moreover, there must be in
.eligeEt knowledge of the trade anu
.rade conditions of the lands that
are to come under the influence Of
he new waterway.
American merchants must know
who their rivals are, what sort Of
goods they handle and in short, be
prepared with full knowledge of the
entire situation in order that they
may not go about their business
bllndly and in the dark.
What he says, in a most exhaust
I've analysis of the conditions that
will obtain after the canal is open
ed, Is in the nature of warning to
America to prepare for great bat
tie for the markets" He discusses
this with special reference to Eng.
land and Germany as rivals, also
with reference to other competition.
Considering England and Germany
as the really important rivals of
the United States, Mr.. Hutchinson
says England occupies in a way the
position CT vantage and defense, and
that generations of experience have
given her traders a skill that is
hard to match. On the other hand
the success of English trade has
given her traders a conservatism that
is to her disadvantage

The same economic problems
are pressing for settlement the
whole world over. They are the
securing of sufficient remunera-
ton for the toiling masses, for to
very many thousands they are
insufficient and they live in un.
sanitary tenements, toll unceas-
ingly for a bare existence and
enjoy few Of the desirable things
that civilization is perfectly cap
able of comforting upon them
says the Omaha World-Herald.
The excessive incomes of a very
few,mnst in the future be pre-
vented and the wealth of the
country must be more evenly
distributed.
The remedy for the first is the
most difficult of all. Minimum
wages have in some cases been
adopted. Time enough has not
elapsed to show whether, except
in few cases, il is a remedy.
The objection made is that the
minimum soon becomes the max.
imum wage. Excessive hours of
labor have in many cases been
prohibited. So far that seems
to be very effective and no good
argument has been made against
lii. The arbitration Of industrial
disputes, replacing strikes, as
far as it has been applied has al-
so been almost universally sue
cessful.
There can not be much doubt
that excessive incomes can be
prevented. The road toward
that is very plain. When all
special privileges are abolished
there will be few excessive ln-
comes. Natural monopolies
should be controlled by govern.
ment down to the smallest detail
of publicly owned. Taxes can
be largely removed from the
poor and placed upon those who
receive the greatest benefits.
They can be placed on incomes,
inheritance and land monopoly.
In Germany, in England and
in France legislation along these
lines is much further advanced
than in the United States. If we
do not start soon we will never
catch up. America is not "en-
Tightening the world" now so
much as Europe it. For a hum
dred years it was in the advance,
