preparedness are concerned, is pres.
ent d in THE President" an article
by Richard Washburn Child, in Col
iier's" for March l6. The statement
draws no conclusions, which, under
the circumstances, might be held to
be unfair; but, in a way hat is just
and impartial, cites facts which are
not less than disquieting. We hope
every New Mexican who is interest
ed in the welfare of his country will
read Mr.. Child's article. 1t may be
read in 70 minutes, but it will not be
forgotten in as many months.
