What Is a Crisis in Mexico? I?

Unless some central authority is to be
recognized, the most serious crisis in the
history Of Mexico soon win be reached
Statement OF Provisional President Gu
uerrez
ANY student Of language, of economics,
"A of instructions, Of brigandage Of
sociology, or of almost any other subject
must wonder how any further superlatives
are possible. If any more serious crisis"
than the long Succession of crises which
Mexico has passed through can be brought
about 1t will certainly be something unique
in the eventful history Of the world.
Poor Mexico has already run the gamut Of
war pillage, misgovernment, anarchy, blood
and fire, economic disaster and social dis
order. The country deserves rest and
long rest. '
If Mexico can manage to get along with
out crisis for a generation 1t will be a
great nation; and IL Villa or any one else
can set up central authority" strong
enough to guarantee order the United States
will lead in congratulations and Fluctuations

United We Win

THE Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States. which has in it's membership
many men who are efficient and not dis
honest thinks that the Government should
permit combinations in promotion Of trade
abroad. So do several million other Ameri-
cans, who are convinced that charity goes a
little too far when II causes us to put balls
and chains on our own legs in order to give
our competitors chance.
There are hundreds of small manufactur-
ing establishments which cannot afford to
maintain selling agencies abroad. But
dozen Of them united could afford to do so.
with every assurance Of success, and the
trade they could get would solve the prob
lem Of unemployment. There Is nothing par
tlcularly vicious In such a combination, and
It's efficiency would be the only thing against
II. Yet efficiency is not a natural crime It
has simply been made a crime by legisla-
tion. Why not be generous and give II a fair
trial? II may not be such terrible thing as
we imagine. Indeed there are men who
have won immortality merely by being eff
cient. Washington was one of them and
Franklin was another.
Unite our merchants. Give them chance.
Let them meet their competitors on equal
terms, Put the flag in their hands and wish
them godspeed. We need them, and they
need the nation back OF them. Let them get
together and fight this battle together and
open up the markets together. There is no
crime in them and no guile. They want a
chance, that is all, and they are entitled
to It.
We talk about winning the markets Of the
world We win them and we must win
them. But we can't do It by tying our busi-
ness men hand and foot, and we can't do it
IL we are afraid Of prosperity Have done
with legislation for purposes of calamity
only. Business is convalescent. The period
of probation is over. Throw away the medi-
cine and give it invigorating food, some
thing it can sink it's teeth into and chew.

scrapheaping Our Covernment


T5oR two decades Congress and every State
4 Legislature has been In frenzy of law
making. We passed a greater number OF
specific laws in the last decade than in the
nrst century OF our national history. And
the majority OF them are non-usabie; they
do not fit the circumstances; they become
imperative because inappIieabIe
Congress and the Legislatures must do
something to justify their existence and
warrant the drawing OF pay envelopes So
they have taken to appointing commissions
IN order TO sec what has become OF all the
laws. There are commissions to facilitate
ths use Of tho executive. to connect the Leg
iaiature with tha people for whom or against
whom the legislation has been framed to
supplement the courts ana exercise quasi
judicial functions.
Questions are becoming insistent in
khoughtful minds; Did the Constitution con-
template government by commissioner
Hay not the commissions ultimately usurp
2he powers Of the executive, the Legislative
ana the judicial provinces OF government?
pe not these commissions already raise the
presumption that our time -honored form OF
sovenment is saIf-eonfessed failure?

other day was talking with a naval officer,
who remarked: For the cost of two battle
ships we could build 90 submarines With
so submarines on the Pacific coast Japan
couldn't land an invading army big enough
to pick the prune crop in the Santa Clara
Valley
Then why haven't we been building more
submarines?" asked
because a submarine is not captains
nor an admiral's command, and you can't
give a party on a submarine"

PHILADELPHIA must not be satisfied
i with anything less than perfectly mod
ern and adequate hre-fighting equipment. On
the dollar -and-cents basis a strong argu-
ment can be framed to justify all the ex-
pendlture that may be necessary to make our
Fire Department the most complete and
servceable in the country. Just in proper
tion as fire risks decrease does the rate OF
insurance fall and the value Of property
rise
But that is only one consideration, and
by no means the largest. Every foot OF de-
fective hose and every antiquated engine en-
dangers human life. And It is the human
equation that must always be the determin-
ing factor in public administration Politics
that puts human life in jeopardy is rotten
politics, whether II niasquerades under the
guise Of public economy OF not. Money saved
at the expense Of human life is blood money
whatever other name may be given to It.
Before and above every consideration the
health and safety and happiness OF the citi-
zens must be placed. Amy other policy Is
a form Of ofioiai murder or community
suicide.

Kind.Hearted CLARK

One might ask why Speaker Clark allowed
stage settings in the first place, contrary TO
the rules OF the House. Well, Champ Clark
is the kindest hearted man imaginable. and
in addition is so eager TO be fair that he
leans a trihe backward in constituting rules
for the benefit Of his political opponents. In
deciding point Of order where proponent
OF the point is OF one political faith and an
opponent OF another, II the Speaker is in
doubt he generally gives the benefit OF II to
