sador, TO represent the United States In
resumption Of relations with the Car.
rama government.
Those Of us who have followed the
difficulties of Carranza and have kept in
touch with the constitution which he
has been drawing up for the Mexican
people, will see plainly why President Will
son is anxious to do what he can to as
sist leader who is responsible for so
progressive and commendable a docu-
ment.
The Mechanics and Metals National
Bank Of New York City has issued a
financial handbook, entitled Mexico. .
which gives us some interesting informa-
ton.
In il we are told; "0ne thing is GER
tainl Mexicos financial and industrial
hope lies with the bankers and financial
interests Of the United States"
The amount of American capital invest
ed is said by the American consul at Chi
huahua TO be one billion, fifty seven mil
lion dollars.
In spite of the revolution, exports
from Mexico were larger in 1915 than
ever before.
Mining exports for 1928 were $685.
Do, Sls.
There are 55 American oil companies
sending out in 1914 25,725, 403 barrels of
oil.
This" says the hand book, 'is the
richest country in the world in all sorts
of productions and there is plenty of OPP
portunity for more capital 10 be invested
and anywhere from so to 100 PER
CENT to be made IF the old Diaz gov
eminent, or one very similar. can be re-
stored"
The Mechanics and Metals National
Bank feels very sorry for Mexico and con-
siders that it is our duty to save it from
itself and for ourself if We have to Kill
off the Mexicans in order to do it.
1t is the White Mans burden, so to
speak, and we must not shirk RESPONSE
bility.
One might pertinently ask:
II all this exporting is going on, in
spite of the war, why are American cap
italists so upse. and nervous over this af-
fair, and why are they so hurt with the
United States sympathy with the Car
rama de facto government
Ii is this little matter Of the constitu-
ton and fears for the future, tho there
Is no doubt but that many of them have
already been badly hurt
Carranza has drawn up constitution
which will cut down the percentage or
each barrel of oil and each ton of ore YIN.
til it is around the legitimate six per cent
mark.
Each barrel of oil. each ton of ore
taken out of the country must pay to the
people of that country, TO whom the land
belongs, proper sum and not be looted
from them.

Her Cargo, and Averted War!

body knows.
The lingo newspapers are confident
ehat It can be a matter of only few
hours
In their case, however, the wish is
father to the headline.
The Times does not know that war
With Germany will come at all--it hopes
that war does NOT come.
Still, we fall to wondering just what
the situation would be at the present
time il the captain Of the Holland-Ameri-
can line steamship Ryndam had elected TO
take course other than the course he
took when he was warned by a German
submarine to turn back.
The story. which reaches New York
from unofficial sources, is this:
The Ryndam left New York on January
20 for Rotterdam, flying the flag of Hol-
land and having on board the American
consular agent at Luxembourg and 100
other cabin passengers
She was within IA hours Of Falmouth
when the warning of the submarine was
received
The captain swung her around imme-
diately and is expected to reach New
York today or tomorrow.
The New York Office Of the steamship
company was visited by a newspaper rep
resentative whose report of his interview
shows very plainly that he hoped to
meet there the same spirit that seems to
b manifest on the part of other steam
ship companies whose heads keep on de-
claring: I'VE shall sail"
But the newspaper representative did
not find that spirit at all.
The officer of the steamship company
with whom he talked, said:
THE CAPTAIN WAS CLEARLY
WITHIN HIS RIGHTS, AS FULL RE-
SPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF
THE SHIP AND PASSENGERS is HIS
WHILE AT SEA"
This captain is, of course. "spineless
seward"
Maybe he viii be denounced as pro
German sympathizer."
They may 60 so far as to call him a
rpacifist" Is quite roundly condemn
ID at this time If he is a pacifist.
II he is pacifist, he isn't patriotic"
But the idea is this:
The Ryndam is SAFE and COMING
BACK.
THE LIVES OF THE HUNDREDS
UPON HER HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Her CARGO has been saved.
And IL the United States is forced into
war with Germany, it will not be the
fault Of the Ryndam.
you will admit, however" we hear
someone observe, that our shipping has
been interrupted in the case of the Ryn-
dam7 Her cargo from these shores
did not reach its intended destination"
Yes, we will admit it, meantime sug-
costing that it has not been interfered
with to the extent it WOULD have been
interfered with if the Ryndam had been
hit by torpedo, in which event it would
not have reached its intended destination.
either.
We claim that IL has even a BETTER
CHANCE of reaching its destination
eventually.
A little interference with shipping from
this country might not be a bad idea at
that.
Possibly IL would have the effect of
keeping potatoes. say, on this side of the
water, and of keeping the price down
where this humble food will not be be-

THAT SILENT PROTEST PARADE

A movement is on foot to put on silent
protest parade in Seattle September 22nd
-Lincoln' s emancipation day-and we truly
hope it will be perfected. May, perhaps, it
will not improve existing conditions, SO far
as the Negro is concerned, one single iota,
but there is one thing certain, it will not
make them any worse and then it would
show to the world that though circumstan-
ces forced them, the Negroes to submit to
such outrages, they are by no means either
pleasing or agreeable to them. And then,
again, making this silent parade on that
particular day would be calling on the
sanity Lincoln to once again intervene in
the black mans behalf
If such thing is undertaken every col
ored person and his family should enthuse
over it and turn out to a man, woman and
child, and, for once line the streets of Sc
attic with black and tan faces. No conclus-
ions have been reached and no fixed plans
decided upon as to this prospective silent
parade-its only being talked Of with the
hope Of bringing the forces of the city to-
gether and determine on the advisability
sary plans for the same.
While the thought eminated in the local
branch Of the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People, yet the
members thereof desire no particular leader
ship in the execution, but on the other hand
they desire the people to take it into their
hands and create their own leaders and
formulate their own plans. The chief desire
is that the colored citizens of the Puget
Sound country without regard to club, color
or creed, join heartily in the plans with
the view of making the parade most bril-
liant success.
