Let's Build While We Fight

Americans have habit of quitting work and crowding around when an accident occurs. The case in point is the worlds accident in Europe.
 We are in danger of losing our heads and stopping work while the conflict is on. This would be a serious happening but, happily, every American can help to prevent it without adding to the noise and con- fusion of going to war.
 The only thing necessary is to go quietly on in attending to our own business.
 While our naval and military forces are hastening to the front to destroy agencies and obstacles that seek to impede our growth, it is essential that we double our constructive efforts at home.
 We can create and continue to build while we fight and we ought to seize upon this advan- tage as the greatest opportunity created by the war.
 Let useful building construc- ton, both public and private, proceed. Production and hand ling materials and public and private construction work are fundamental industries of the country, Any tendency to sus- pend or postpone building pro- jects is inconsistent with main talning our prosperity. The country is prosperous. Building investors should not hesitate to go, ahead with their plans. Railroads should spare no effort to supply the building industry with the cars needed to trans port materials. Government, state, county and municipal au- thorities should encourage the continuance of all kinds of build Ing. Road and street improve ments in particular should go on unabated. Bad roads and streets are factors of first importance Tn the present high cost of food s:tutfs. Never before was the improvement of highways so es- sential.
 Let us build while we fight!

Toxic, June 5.-(Correspondence
Frankly discussing what he calls the
Japanese sympathy with Germany.
Professor NJ. Anesaki, Japanese ex-
change professor to Harvard Cnivers-
ity in 1913-l9l5 declares in a magazine
article thapalthoush technically Japan
is at war with Germany. a feeling of
admiration for Germany is quite gem
eral among the japanese people, This,
he declares, is a significant contrast
with the situation in the United States
where anti-Germln feeling is almost
universal. How did German influence
gain such an ascendency in Japan, he
asks. First of all through Germany's
victory in 1870 which induced the jap
anese military authorities to adopt
German models in place of the French
which had beeen followed previously.
and secondly, through the adaptation
of German constitution and juris-
prudence. found by the tate Prince Ito
to he more congenial to Japanese
needs
After German Jurisprudence, came
German philosophy and science whose

Professor Anesaki continued:
japanese PRO Germanism Is also
due to other reasons. The German
desire or need to have place in the
sun is shared by many japanese
lea ders in politics and industry. Ac-
cording to these men the claims or
Germany as to expansion in various
directions are legitimate or urgently
necessary. Some Japanese are unfor-
tunately inclined to look askance at

sarding German atrocities and fail TO

The rare spectacle of the government

a allowances to certain categorles or
wives of modified men that have here

was adopted by vote OF

priation were among the SO.
Albert Thomas, Minister OF Num-
lions. though absent was recorded as
voting against. This apparent incon-
sistency arises from the old custom In
the Chamber of Deputies permitting
absent members to delegate their vote
either to the groups to which they be-
long or to colleagues. That custom
also explains the great frequency Of
rectifications Of votes. Absent men,
bers having been recorded by col
leagues as for or against propositions
and finding, after reflection that they
were on the wrong side. have this hber-
ty Of rectifying the vote.
Committee reports are frequently re-
jected. but rarely, II ever, has It hap
pened that the committee and the gov
eminent in power have been At the
same time on the losing side.

Holland finding the provision Of food on

transport firms are obliged to restrict
the work Of their animals to enable

Moreover, F. E. Posthuma, minister

huma anticipates that next autumn and
winter will be virtually no imported

will have to be reduced twenty five per
cent. This would necessarily man the
export Of cattle and meat on an abnor-

Meaning Of 81. 900, 900, 900.

Americas war loan Of seven thousand
million dollars surpasses the powers of the
mind to grasp. Spent at the rate of a
dollar a minute it would take 1898 years
to dispose OF the appropriation.
A writer in Leslie's says: Loaned out at
6 per cent, thirteen dollars could be spent
every second for an indefinite period with
out touching the principal. Converted into
silver dollars, the coined pieces laid end to
end would reach more than four times
around the earth at the equator. Piled on
top Of one another, these silver dollars
would extend nearly SIX hundred miles into
the air, Made into dollar bills, they would
cover 26,6S6 acres. The interest on the
loan is greater than the entire running ex-
penses OF the government less than half q
century ago, while the amount itself would
conduct the affairs of the government for
fully seven years, on the basis of the an
nual expenditures for the last decade. An
other and more cheerful way of looking at
the situation is that, great as the loan is,
the wealth OF the United States Is such
that 1t amounts to the lending of one dollar
out of every forty dollars of our existing
tangible resources. A penny a day saved
by every inhabitant would cancel the prin-
cipal within twenty years.

Use Your Tractor

Help your %neighbors'- is the keynote of
a special appeal to tractor owners issued
by Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture Carl
Vrooman.
every farmer who owns a tractor" he
says, owes it to his country this spring to
do all the custom or exchange work he can
do without neglecting his own work. Every
hour that his tractor would otherwise be
idle it ought to be at work helping a neigh
Dor who is behindhand with his blowing or
narrowing. Make your outfit work from
to dark; make 1t work all night II you
have enough operators to fill the shifts.
The acreage to be harvested this fall hangs
on the pillow. Don't let an acre that might
be planted go untitled because
your tractor is in the shed. Help your
neighbors and thus do your part in strength
ening the allied lines on the battle fronts
of Europe"

Your Fight

Support the New Mexican" says the
Las Vegas Journal, (which has been lead
ing the fight OF the independent presses of

eminent"
We recommend this suggestion to the
newspapers Of New Mexico. Many of them
have been outspoken in their support of
the principles to which this newspaper Is
dedicated. Many have feared to be out
spoken; quite a number, controlled by the
Republican machine, have sneered at this
fight. 3nfs
For the benefit of all newspapers in the
state, we might call attention to the fact
that a struggle for the rights OF. free
speech and the free press in this state is
a struggle in their behalf. It Is a little
larger than the political fghtzit goes fur
ther and deeper. To the machine press
we might say that times change and we
are changed in them and the shoe may
sometime be on the other foot. In brief,
the principle must be recognized beyond
peradventure Of future attack that the facts
about the actions of public officials and the
qualifications of candidates for office may
be published in the newspapers of New
Mexico; and that only by the fearless pub.
LEGATION of such facts can a proper standard
of official integrity be maintained in this
state.
The New Mexican has demonstrated how
rotten politics and oficialdom can be made
to fear and hate a newspaper that tells
the truth and can't be "got." We advise
the newspapers of the state to mediate on
what is possible of achievement by a unit.
ed, free and independent statewide press;
and we counsel the nose-ringed party or
gans to mediate with equal earnestness on
exactly what they have got and where they
have got to by the bootlfcking system.

NEW MEXICO'S WAR
CROWD PROUD or STROUD

Portales Valley News: Representative G.
w. Stroud returned Thursday from Santa
Fe where he had been attending the special
session of the legislature. We are proud
of Mr.. Stroud's record at this session in
taking a stand with those who fought and
defeated the plan to create an expensive
and useless state cavalry for the purpose
of creating nice fat jobs for several lame
duck politicians Of the state. = . = We feel
that credit is due Governor Lindsey and
those members of the legislature, like
Isaac Barth, Pardue, Kaseman, ct al, who
believe in preparedness and placing every
resource OF the state at the disposal Of
the governor, but refuse to turn it all over
to those petty politicians who seem to be
SO loyal to their c-ountry--provided there is
a good soft job connected with it--and the
other fellow will likely be placed where
the bullets are the thickest.
