BIC PRODUCTION
WILL KNOCK OLD
MAN PRICE DOWN

WASHINGTON.-That the high
cost Of living cannot be dealt
with permanently unless the
problem of unemployment is solved
at the same time, and that the in
creased production necessary to solve
both problems can not be obtained
without making idle hands and nat
uraI resources more accessible to Ia
Dor, is the conclusion reached by a
report issued today by the depart
ment of labor on Employment and
Natural Resources" written by Ben
ton Mackaye, an expert in the office
of the secretary of labor.
No appreciate decrease in the cost
of living can be expected SO long
as superficial factors only are dealt
with. High prices of manufactured
products generally reflect either high
prices for raw materials, or lack of
organlza ton in transportation and
distribution. An effective policy
must start with the land from which
the "extractive" industries draw raw
materials and must follow the sub
sequent industrial processes clear
through to the consumer. Coupled
with this must be changes in the
''distributive' industries so. that
products will flow smoothly from
land to men,"
A substantial increase in produc-
ton is unlikely, says the report,
so long as the average wageearner is
unemployed 20 per cent of his time
and so per cent of our land and nat
uraI resources are unused. A scheme
for bringing together these potential
productive factors is presented.

French Birth Rate
Is Increasing Slowly

A correspondent of THE Man
chester Guardian" reports that for
the first time since 1914 the births
in Paris for the week ending Au-
gust 9 exceeded the deaths. There
were 658 children born alive (321
boys and 337 girls), of whom 42S
were legitimate and 235 illegitimate.
This is equivalent to an annual
birth rate of 11.84 per 1000 on the
Partisan population at the last CEN
sus G91D, which is now increased
in spite of the large excess Of
deaths over births during the war.
The number of deaths was $40, 80
fewer than the average for the
time of year and equivalent to an
annual death rate of 11.16 per 1000
on the population of 1911. The pro-
portion of illegitimate children born
-35.7 per cent-was above the
average, which is about 80 per cent
in Paris.
1t will be noticed that more gi12s
were born than boys. AS a rule
more boys than girls are born
everywhere. and in England the eX-
cess of male children has increased
CT late. circumstance which has
been somewhat rashly attributed to
the war.

WORLDATTRACTED
BY GREAT WEALTH
OF OIL IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY. The vast
petroleum deposits in Mexico, YER
table rivers of gold to their own
ers. have within the past few years
attarcted the attention of the world;
first. because their exhaustless sup
plies filled a demand in the COM
mercial world which was empha-
sized during the war. and secondly,
because of late they have formed
one of tn most fruitful sources of
misunderstanding between the gov
ernments of Mexico and the United
States.
The development of this industry
by foreign capital has reached the
point where dividends are declared
in millions of dollars and produc-
ton runs into millions of barrels.
Legislation designed by the Mex
terms its just share of profit. into
the national treasury has been met
by charges of confiscation on the
part of the foreign interests whose
opposition has become so vigorous
that President Carranga recently
stated in an interview that the
petroleum companies were deliber-
ately engendering ill-feeling between
the United States and Mexico.
Exploitation of petroleum in Mex
leo for commercial purposes is
confined to the past eighteen years,
according to a statement recently
furnished to the Associated Press
by the department of commerce and
industry.
Exploration of the oil fields began
about 1900 and has been conducted
since by the Mexican Petroleum
company. of California. the British
firm of Pearson & Son: the Huas-
teca Petroleum company; The East
Oil company; the Oil company of
Tepetate and others.
Vessels now available to convey
Mexican oil have Appropriately 700,-
900 tons capacity and are worth
$90.000.000. In addition it is stated
that the value of pipe lines is es-
tirnated at s5OO0O,00O and storage
depots at $6O.O00,OOO; bringing the
total of such investment to $780,
100000 The pipe line system is $50
miles long and the steel tanks for
the storage of oil have a capacity
of 26,000.000 barrels.
Commenting upon these figures the
statement says that "the Mexican
Gil industry has not yet equalled
the American because of the lack
of means of transportation and of
STORM which are not equal to the
production of the oil lands"
