that is almost ideal Authorities say that all the
activities of the temperate zone may be as easily
carried on as in any other land
Better yet Mexico has great possibilities as a
shipping center The Gulf of Mexico is contigu-
ous The Panama Canal is close at hand. Her
west coast of $500 miles fronts toward the
Pacific. Even now she has very extensive
railway system connecting with ours to the north
and Central Americas to the south.
She has the resources and the means of trans
portation. Her tragical condition is that she has
not the people competent to develop and to use
them. Of her population, more than four-fifths
are Indians or half-breeds. These are simple and
violent barbarians to whom the influences of the
most elementary education have not yet perco-
lated
This is the crux of the Mexican situation. She
has wealth without the power to use it. Sister
nations have the power, but need the wealth.
This creates tension by whetting the appetite
of every dollar hungry people on the planet The
history of the world shows that in almost every
such situation the weaker people give way before
the stronger.
Some believe it to be the United States
manifest destiny to gain the mastery of this
great territory. President Wilson and his sup
porters believe the Mexican people must them
selves evolve a class competent to control the
country. Whichever of these may prove the
workable theory, it is manifest that Mexico can
know no peace until those into charge of
her extraordinary resources who are as able ia
protect them against the avarce of outsiders as
they are to develop and to use them

The Basis of Mexican Peace

The more clearly Mexican conditions are re-
vealed, the more evident it becomes that the
AB mediation scheme con be nothing more
that a mere temporary arrangement. Mexico is
in a condition that means war of some kind and
long continued blood-letting before order and
prosperity can be established One needs only
give the most superficial consideration to the
general situation there to be convinced of this.
Mexican territory exceeds the area of Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, France Ireland and
Great Britain combined In this vast domain are
such deposits of wealth as entice the commercial
adventurer to extreme risks Gold, silver, cop
per- rubber, oils, hide, cattle, sugar, coffee and
mahogany: these are only few of her enormous
resources.
Although the coast line climate is insuffera-
BILE, the country for the most part has climate

HARNESS POTOMAC
TO LIGHT CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Lighting
up all buildings occupied by the ma
tional government in the District Of
Columbia is the task the Potomac Riv-
er must perform if Senator Norris has
his way There's a cost of $4,000. 900
to be considered before the develop
ment of this river power is made by
Uncle Sam, but appropriations of that
size are mere trifle to Congress
that losses out billion and more with
every two years of work Senator Nor
ris is trying to get this item which
would result in big saving to the
federal treasury in a few years, at
tached to the river and harbor appro-
priation bill. The chances are, howev-
er, that it will be put into one of the
other budget bills instead.
Army engineers have been looking
with ambitious eyes at the rapids in
the Potomac. just above the city, ever
since George Washington selected this
site for the capital Times after time
the power has been investigated and
the engineers have been chagrined to
witness the Indifference of the Senate
and House to the project. Recently a
new estimate of the cost of develop
mant has been prepared, and Norris
has made it his special business to
see. that, the project is brought to a
definite issue and vote.
Under the new plan there will be
built dam 115 feet in height, located
near the old Chain Bridge, above
Georgetown. This will form lake that
will extend nine miles upstream, to
the foot of the Great Falls Of the Po-
1omac. The scenic beauty of the falls
will be left untouched but from the
100000 horsepower now running to
waste in the stream within the nine
miles to be covered by the improve
ment the power plant will be able to
conserve tWO-thirdS.
