BUYING MEXICAN TERRITORY

Senator Ashurst, OF Arizona, has brought to the at
tention of congress in the form of a bill the project Tor
the purchase from Mexico Of the peninsula of Lower
California and a part Of the province of Sonora, Just
across the bay, a project which has been discussed in
q desultory manner for u long time, and which has y
good many friends.
1t goes without saying that if the United States does
acquire this territory it must be by purchase. There
can be no thought Of conquest. And it may be untor-
tunate that the matter is brought to public attention just
at this time, when we have the largest army in our his
tory, and when matters in Mexico are far from being as
well settled as they should be. An impression may be
created in Mexico, and perhaps elsewhere, that We are
trying to bully our neighbor into parting with a bit OF
territory which we earnestly desire.
On the merit Of the case, and aside from all consld-
ing this purchase desirable. Most Of it is practically USE
less to Mexico. It would require more wealth than Mex
leo has, or is likely to have in the immediate future, 90
defend this territory in case Of war or to develope it in
time of peace to such an extent as to realize any import
ant part of its possibilities. The country can be made i'm
mensely productive, but only by vast outlay such as is
likely to be undertaken by no interests other than either
the United States government or individuals acting under
its authority.
In the hands of the United States resources of vast
value would be guaranteed by the power of this nation.
The territory would offer splendid opportunities for many
Of our returning soldiers who wish to seek for themselves
new homes. 1t would give US a protected inland sea for
the use Of our navy, and would afford possibilities for
winter resotts unsurpassed in beauty even on the shores
Of the Mediterranean.

THE UNKNOWN FRIENDS.
We cannot count our friends. o say
How many praise us day by day.
Each'one Of us has friends, that he
Has yet to meet and really know.
Who guard him. wheresoe'er they
be,
From harm and : SANDERS cruel
They help to light our paths with
cheer
Although they pass as strangers here.
These friends. unseen unheard, unS
Our lasting gratitude should own.
They serve US in a thousand ways
Where We perhaps should friend
less be; ~
They tell our worth and speak u
And for their service ask no fee;
They choose to be our friends. al
though
| We have not learned to call them so.
We cannot guess how large the debt
| We owe to friends we have not met.
We only know, from day to day,
That we discover here and there
How one has tried to smooth our
way
And ease our heavy load of care,
Then passed along and left behind
His friendly gift for us to find.

opportunity to develop the plane un-
der conditions Of deliberate expert
ment, the same spirit Of inventive
genius which evolved a heavier-than-
air machine. a be counted on to
perfect it. There will naturally be
sonle days in every year in which no
plane can navigate, just as there are
now some days in which trains are
stalled by snow or water, but a few
unusual storms do not constitute the
weather. although there probably
would be more such days for planes
than railroads.
The perfection of planes in the next
few years will be one of the most in
.teresting features of a lifetime. In
the meantime we must not demand
nor expect too much.
There are those among the British
aviators who predict that air travel
will broaden and soften the minds
Of men as no other form of travel has,
or can ever accomplish. Seen from
the sky, the rapidly passing panor-
anna below reveals great cities as
mere spots, and vast railway systems
as the faint lines of a spiders web.
Large lakes become ponds, and one
country blends into another in that
harmonious whole which the Creator
intended. Under these Impressions
the ego of the individual, and the
petty selfishnesses of the human mind
fade into insignificance before the
grandness of it all. while a vision of
the millennium steals upon ones con-
s~ciousness.

UNITED STATES
ADOPTS POLICY
To Compete Successfully
With Other Maritime Ma

#
Paris. Jan.@16.-(By the Associated
rress.)-American shipping will be
enabled to make rates in succs..,v,
competition with other maritime ma
tions n keep the seas open to the
great business development expected
with the end of the war. under the
provisions of a shipping policy adopt
ed by the United States government,
1t was learned here today.
Formulated by E.. NJ. Hurley.
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, this policy proposes t.
write off virtually $1,000, 600, 200 from
the cost OF American shipping built
during the war and possibly a propo-.
tionate write off from the valuations
Of American shipyards.
It is expected that the moral force
Of the government In making such q
reduction will bring privately owned
shipping into the plan.

INTERNATIONAL BOLSHEYISM

Those who maintain that a league of nations cannot
be established on a basis which will make it an accepta-
BILE agency for the maintenance of peace have as little
faith in the progress of nations as those who hold that
Eolshcvism is the destiny Of the human race have in the
progress of humanity itself. The principle of that group
Of people the world over, whatever name may be used
man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. One
OF the articles of the I. w. w. confession Of faith is that
the employer and the enploye have no interests in COM
mon. The member of this precious organization is taught
that there is war between himself and every other in
diyidual with whom he has business dealings, and that
it is his business-the outfit has no conception of right
to use whatever means he may find most useful in gain
ing an advantage over this, his adversary,
1t is on this principle that not a few would have us
believe that all nations of the earth exist, and that when
my big nation refrains from %gobbling up its little neigh
bors, it is restrained, not by any regard for right or duty,
but solely by regard for its own selfish interest, which
might be imperiled were advantage to be taken of the
weak neighbours unprotectedness. Therefore the policy
" hands. of is followed until the opportunity is better
and safer.
1t is true that much Of this spirit has entered into
the intercourse~of nations in the past 1t is not to be ex-
pected that the spirit of selfishness will ever be entirely
eradicated. But there is no reason to believe that the
conscience and intelligence of the world will fail in the
effort to bring the nations together in a union of spirit
which will be closer and more substantial than anything
before attempted, and which will contribute vastly to the
maintenance Of that peace which can be maintained only
II it is founded on justice.
