VIOLATES HIS INTELLECT

Judge Taft does violence to his
inteliigsnce when he asserts that
the new draft Of the league oven
ant s.feguards the Monroe Doctrine.
His whole argument to hat effect
is based on the statement that the
covenant Recognizes il (the doetrine)
as a regional understanding for Sc
curing the maintenance of peace"
II makes no difference what the
league Of nations may recognize"
in the Monroe Doctrine. 1t 10 not a
document 'for securing the main
tenance of peace" and never was. 1t
10 a declaration to the world that If
certain things are attempted we will
regard those attempts as a menace
to our safety, and act accordingly.
So long as nations of the Old World
refrain from violation of the Prin-
ciples set forth in the Monroe Doc
trine peace will prevail, but the
moment they undertake to t%rsnsgress
the rule we have laid down war will
be the order of the day.
Candid Americans everywhere will
admit that it has been the military
power of the United States that has
been in the bounds Of the Monroe
Doctrine for a hundred years. Des-
troy that power, as the league OF
nations will do, and the Monroe
Doctrine will not be worth the paper
IL 10 written on. 1t is not the Doc
trine that has secured the mainten-
ance Of peace as Mr.. Taft would
hae us believe, but the military
power Of America.
That being true (and Mr.. Taft in
his innermosi soul, Mr.. Wilson, and
all the delegates to the peace con-
ference must know that it Is true) il
follows that Article XXI of the COW
enant, under the terms of which the
league fanatics say the Monroe
Doctrine will be protected, falls to
the ground.

FACTORIES

New eanneries are being located
ct Roswell and Soeorro. This merits
more than passing notice as the cam
ming industry has not ss yet been
really established in New Mexico.
Canned goods packed in other
states are shipped in by the train
load every year. A handsome penny
goes out of the state every year for
this item alone. What little is being
packed by the few eanneries now in
the state does not go very far.
The climate and soil Of New Mexico
are favorable to the growing of a long
list of crops Of superior flavor and
firmness, suitable for canning. They
include apples, pears, all the stone
fruits. berries, corn, tomatoes, beans
gus, sweet potatoes, pumpkins,
and many Others. The highest quality
of raw material can be produced to
supply a large market at home and
in the southwest.
The canning industry lead. to in
~fensive farming and will be a factor
in the DEVELOPMENT Of the state. The
example set by Roswell and Soeorro
should encourage other localities.
Lakewood is an example of what a
can do for the community.

THE OIL

The State Record has become
greatly impressed with the earnest
ness of the present statewide move
ment to explore every promising oil
prospect in New Mexico. Drilling
operations are already under way in
several counties. Other rigs are be-
ing installed and still others are in
transit and will be placed within a
short time. Several of the new rigs
are going into sections where no
previous drilling has been attempted.
The movement to locate CONNER
cial oil in New Mexico needs to have
full support of every public spirited
citizen. Every possible inducement
should be offered outside capital and
experienced oil men to enter the
state to make complete and thorough
te.ts of every promising location.
The locating of commercial oil means
much to the entire state. b will
stimulate development of industry
and business generally and lead 20
exploration and development OF other
natural ~souree now latent.
The State Record has kept in close
touch with the present oil movement
and will continue to give eonserva-
tive and reliable information as to
the as far as possible. We
believe firmly that oil will be located
in several districts. II will require
time as il 10 certain that the big oil
lies deep, possibly between 5000 and
S,0O0 feet in some parts Of h state.
To drill this deep requires many
weeks, possibly months.
From reports received recently the
rush for control of land through
leases or placer location is still on.
A lot Of spectators naturally are in
the field, trsffickins in leases. They
look for immediate profit by selling
leases. This feature 10 not helpful
in bringing in operators to test the
fields by drilling.
The movement. however. has gain
ed so much force that W. feel certain
Of results. The oil may be found in
San Juan Basin. the Pseos Valley, at
Columbus, in Quay County. Union
County, or Santa Fe County whore
drills have been at work for some
time. o. the first big oil may come
in newer locations like the Tuiarosa
Basin. at Stems, the Pisyas basin,
the tornado basin, or Mckinley
County.
The men in the field are determined
and we look for results. In the mean
time the State Record will continue
to give a weekly summary OF the
progress Of the statewide oil en-
~ploration.

SILVER IN NEW MEXICO

At one time New Mexico was an
important producer Of silver. But in
the early nineties the price of silver
went below the cost Of production
and many mines were Abandoned.
Though silver is still produced in
considerable quantities, it has been
in connection with the mining of
other metals. The price has now adj
vaDced to a point where silver min
ing has again become attractive. AT
$1.06 an ounce we may look for
a revival of mining Of silver in New
MEXICO.
