PROGRESS IN MEXICO

While conditions in Mexico are not yet en-
tirely tranquil there is good reason to believe
that President Wilson's "Watchful waiting
policy, coupled with the driving tactics of the
Constituencies, has solved the major part
of the problem. -
Huerta is eliminated. The old official pha-
lanx of land grabbing and land holding barons
is smashed effectively and the old regime of
peonage is gone. What the dreamer Madero
did not have the power to do, the vigorous
executive Carranza and the ruthless soldier
Villa have DONE Perhaps they have done it
roughly, cruelty, with some injustice and some
needless bloodshed, but it is done. And both
Carranza and Villa are pledged to more liberal
land laws, to educational reforms, to. election
reforms. "...=t #.:
The one critical point today seems to be
Villas opposition to Carranza as candidate
in the presidential elections. These elections
are to be held as soon as the country has settled
down from its years of revolution. Villa main
tains that Carranza is not legally entitled to
become president of Mexico by election. Presi-
dent Wilson takes the opposite view. He has
declined to regard Carranza as provisional
president designating him instead First
Chief of the Constitutionalist Army" and as
such trying to enforce law and order in Mexico.
President Wilson has sent another emissary
to Mexico, much as he sent John Lind. The
latest special envoy is Paul Fuller, who is sent
to convey personally to Villa the presidents
views as to what conditions must be brought
about in Mexico before the United States will
recognize the new government.
Tf 10 roo conohlo RI holiovn that with nrooraSs
made thus far in President Wilson'S avowed1
effort to make the United States of real service
to Mexico and her people further success is
coming.
Carranza is preparing to call an election for
November for all federal offices, including the
Villa is probably opposing him,
but Villa viii be brought to recognize the ne
eessity Of proceeding along lines favored by
President Wilson. Unless, indeed, the Tiger

they have not gone boldly ahead and carried

FEDERAL. TRADE COM
MISSION A REALITY

With the passage of the Federal Trade Com
mission bill in Congress a few days ago, one of
the essential features of President, Wilson s
antitrust program was accomplished. The
president, it is announced will nominate the
new commissioners in December and the COM
mission will be in active working order early
in 1918.
Dispatches from Washington summarize the
duties and powers of the new commission as
follows:
The Federal Trade Commission of five mem
bers will absorb, with enlarged powers, the
functions Of the Bureau of Corporations, which
the bill abolishes. 1t will assist the Department
of Justice upon direction of the courts. in
solving economic problems connected with the
antitrust laws, and will supervise compliance
of corporations with DEGREES of dissolution
The commission will investigate, at the di-
rection of the president, alleged violations of
antitrust laws, making recommendations for
readjustment of business so that corporations
Investigated may operate lawfully, either at
its own discretion or on request of the attorney
general
The commission has authority to investigate
practices which may affect foreign trade and
to provide publicity for ''facts which ought to
be common property of American business
men" 1t will have the usual right of sum
moning witnesses and requiring testimony,
and its orders will be enforced by the Circuit
Court of Appeals, which may pass only on the
question of law, the commission s findings as
to facts being conclusive Judgments of the
Court of Appeals are to be final, subject to re-
view by. the Supreme-E ,esstesssywpi1s eaf GER

Col. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay was

This attitude Is said to be due to
advice from the ColoneHs lawyers,
Bowers & Sands, that to make public

cally be construed as contempt Of

COAST COMPANY

INTER,ISLAND

The long damage suit
brought in 1912 by the Puget Sound
Commercial Company against the In
ter-Island Steam Navigation Company
for the loss of the formers schooner
Klikitat, outside OF Hilo harbor, was
brought to close in the federal court
this morning through a decision hand
ed down by Judge Sanford B. Dole IA
voring the coast concern. The deci.
sion awarded $4,000 to the Puget Sound
Commercial Company, and ruled that
each company involved pay one-half
the costs, Capt ]. d. Nelson of the
Klikitat was awarded $50. The Kliki-
tat was valued et approximately &c.,

auction, about $3.50 being derived from
the sale r.. -. .:-:. ~. -.
As pointed out in Judge Dole's
lengthy decision and recitation of cir.
cumstances, the Inter-Island's tug Ke-
auhou from Hilo dropped the Klikittat
when about mile from shore. Owing
to the prevailing winds. and from the
fact that the vessel wss carrying no
cargo, the Klikitat became unmanage-
able, drifted to shore and was wreck

certain amount of blame lay with the
captain of the. tug from the fact that
he did not stand by ready to render

its fullest extent in endeavoring to

BRITAIN SUGAR
BUYING HINTSAT
PROTRACTED VAR

That Great Britain is securing sugar
secHmuiatieHs on a scale Indicating
that she expects the war to last into
next summer at least is the statement
o. the latest issue of Willett & Gray s
Sugar Journal, September 5. The
Journal saws:
:" Great Britain acts, in its sugar ac.
foundations, as if the war will last
into next summer at least She has
already secured an oversupply for the
remainder of this year and is busy
now in buying from the next Cuba
crop, having already secured go 900
tons of the early deliveries of January
to March, paying for the same 3.s0e to
4.00c fob. and still bidding 4.00e fob.
in instances for the entire production
eff some estates. II. +.
From the latest and most reliable
figures available we estimate that
Great Britain has secured since Aug
from the United States, Cuba, Java,
Mauritius, Demarara, British West
Indies and elsewhere (not including
new crop Cubas), total of $4,000
tons raws, semi-refned and refined
The present refining capacity of Great
Britain is $4,000 tons per month and
will need to be increased even if raw
sugar goes into consumption to con.
siderable extent.
+ Placing the requirements for con.
sumption of all sugar for six months,
from August /, at l25,000 tons per
month-say 100000 tons for six
months, but Great Britain is evidently
intent on looking further ahead in
case the war continues, and hence
the interest shown already in secur.
ing a considerable amount of sugar
from the next Cuba crop.
Referring to our recent article
August 20 number, giving the loca.
tion of European beet fields in danger
of being trampled under foot by the
warning armies, we can now call at
tention to such as have already suf-
fered.
In Belgium IS factories, of which
there are located in the provinces of
Liege Is, Brabant IL, Namur 4, Hahn
aut 2S, have probably lost their crops
and only in Antwerp 2, Flanders q
and Limburg 4 factories remain intact.
Total crop of Belgium is 100000 tons
sugar, of which probably 100000 tons
are affected.
In France 40 factories in Nord, %
in Pas de Calais, 81 in Somme, "a in
Aisne, 4 in Ardennes, 81 in 0ise, to-
gether 1S4 factories, are already with
in the firing lines. Thirty-two other
factories are in direct line to Paris
leaving only Is factories in France so
far immune from disaster.
"Our German correspondence claims
that the crops Of Germany will be
fully harvested, labor for the fields be-
ing impressed from Belgium las we
understand it,.
This report takes no note of the
Russian advance to Berlin, which, if
would be over some of the
principal beet fields of Germany,
which lie between the Russian army
and Berlin
The Journal indicates a satisfactory
beet sugar situation and says that in
q few days the advent of the domestic
beet crops should find the refners
well balanced up.
