America Is not q nation a, England is a nation, as Germany isa

II is a federation.
Its conference is not of blood or religion or Of dynasty. IT cohcrcN

II has been said that a United state, of Europe is impossible and
cannot be erected GA the model of the United States of America be-
cause the states of Europe are of different race and language. But in
stead of this being q reason against Europcairfcdcration ii is a reason

trcly different characters can cooperate. Each state can attend to il

r JEW MENItO should establish a road building
record IN 1919. Our own industrial develop
mcni demands il and the inauguration Of
large road construction projects will not only aid Us
and add 10 our prosperity, but will be ia the nature
Of a patriotic service, since il will provide employ
Incnt for considerable numbers OF men.
Our highway construction activity has fallen
Tar behind during the period Of the war, aud not al
together because of war conditions. The federal
road aid funds promised Ia this state have not bcru
forthcoming rs had been expected. and the great
cost of preparation for . federal aid highway.
chiefly III the detailed Surveys required, has tended
to delay availability of these funds in so far as New
Mexico Is concerned.
We now have ii upon the high authority of The
secretary of Agriculture, 10 whose department the
expenditure of the federal sid funds is entrusted,
hat a national and very active program of highway
building * imperative during the coming year,
both because the country needs the roads and be-
cause we need that kind of activity To supply cm-
ploymcnt. He indicated. in a recent conference with
editors uf agricultural Journals, in Washington, that
approximately ST5, 100000 will be- available for the
roming wear in mcxpendcd balances in the federal
road aid fund. This should make it possible for
practically every western state to proceed actively
with highway construction, provided some of the
red tape and unnecessary detail of preparation can
be removed from the use of the federal funds, SO
that they may become available for practical pur-
poses.
Discussing his advocacy of an active road
building campaign m lHi9. the secretary ul Asri-
culnrc said
1T seem 10 mc that we should take a
further stcp-takc this step not only because Of
the Importance of good roads, but also because
of the dcsirability of furnishing worthy pro-
iects ON which unemployed labor during the
period of reimbursement may be engaged. There
viii bc many things suggested for which fed
cral and state funds will be sought. Some of
these will be unworthy. Clearly such public
works as roads are worthy, and it would be in
the public interest to make available larger APP
preparations from the federal treasury 10 he
used separately on in conjunction with the
state and local support.
There is no need for delay in the cxccu-
lion of such a program. The nation has already
provided the machinery IN the Department of
Agriculture aud in the State highway commis-
sions. The Federal aid road act was fruitful Of
good legislation and each state ia the Union
now has a central highway authority with pow
or 10 meet the terms of the Federal act. The
two agencies. in conjunction. have been cmgag-
ed iu devising wcllconSidcrcd road systems and
ia making surveys, plans and specifications.
The task will bc one OF selection, and those
roads should be built Immediately which are of
the greatest economic importancc-Thcrc is no
need for any departure from this scheme.
