the Germanized Mexicans to 6x4ve
them off is to my mind one OF, ths
really patriotic chapters OF the war.
1t may be printed some day and JUS
ticc may be done to these heroes.
AS far as I am able to sec at the
present time oil is rapidly becoming
one of the most important factors In
the Mexican situation and IL will
doubtless become a vital factor in any
plans which may be made now or here
nfter to adopt policy other than
watchfHl waiting. II my information
Il correct Il great percentage of the
bottom faid>down by the American
Shipping Board are oil burners. Nj.
Hurley and his advisers who worked
out the shipping programme decided
that tho only way America could seq
70 meet European and Asiatfc low
rates on the sea was by Utilizing oil
burners with Sh~ir consequent saving
Of space and expense. With this plan
in mind the Shipping Board looked TO
the Mexican oil fields. hocated as theV
are on the coast, 10 supply ths fuel.
At present they are turning out only
about 10 per cent. of what would be
considered a fair maximum
With a stable Government in Mexico
guaranteeing the owners In their
rights and thereby justifying further
expenditures for developments the oil
fields can readily supply the necessary
fuel for the greatest fleet the world
has ever seen. Without this supply
the ships will have 70 DO supplied In
large part from the interior. with Shs
con seuuent Increased cost
1t appears highly probable then That
the Mexican question before very long
will become involved with the Amer
lean shipping question. When thla
happens possibly in one form or an
other tho American Government Will
decide, TO throw over the visionary
policy of watchful waiting and re-
establish something akin to Ell Fan-
| tGSnd.

capture or death of Villa, because then
the Americans might return to take
possession of the properties which the
Carranzistaxshave been looting so gem

Hundreds Of American mines are
closed down in this section and the
only ore taken out Is that which the
Carrunza Generals steal.
But there are Villas OF lesser de-

recount their methods would merely
be tedious. 1t Is the same story OF
robbery and loot at the expense of for
eigners who developed them.
Virtually every railroad line in the
country is bankrupt and hundreds OF
millions would be required to rebuild
them. Where the money will come from
no one knows. 1t is interesting to
cite the official figures OF the financial
condition OF Mexico at the present
time to show what the revolution has
done for a once prosperous treasury.

The LEAGUE PROPO POSTTION

This Is q period when big issues ete
handled only by big combination. The
biggest problem before the world To-
day Is the prevention Of wGr. IL can
not be handled by any nation acting
alone, and with great difficulty II they
act separately. II needySOme form Of
organisation to settle disputes with
out war. As the result Of the lack
Of such force making for peace: the
United States was plunged in q war
costing 100000 lives. II this govern
ment had to fight power like Ger
meny alone, Il would cost many more
than that. And as II was, Il cost $50
100000 in money.
The proposed League Consultations
as It now stands, needs much amend
ment and clarifying. Four points
should be safeguarded and clearly e.
tablished..
1.-The Monf0S Doctrine
2.-The right Of each nation to'con-
troll immigration into its own terri
tory.
8.-The right Of each nation to
withdraw from the League after d
reasonable trial.
4.-The principle that no nation
will be expected to engage in q war
except Of its own consent IN each IN
dividual case.
With these principles eStablished,
and minor points clarified, the United
States would seem to be much more
secure with such q league thaM With
out il.
Objection is feit by some 10 enter
ing q combination Of European pow
ers, on the ground that the United
States would be 6ntnnmbered BY Eur
opean interests. But the same 6bjec-
ton existed to taking part in the re-
cent war. # Europe wishes to COM
bine against the United States It will
do 50 anyway.
Europe is in turmoil and chaos. We
can not wash our hands Of the whole
situation and retire IN isolation, with
out involving ourselves in the grow
ing peril. It will be cheaper 70 take
hold ana give some helHih StrtieAten-
ing up this chaos, than 10 'let it IN
crease and involve Amefica IN tAe
growing anarchy.

BAILEY ON ExTRAvAGANCE

Joseph W. Bailey, former US. Sem
ator from Texas, and at one time lead
er of the democrats in the lower house
Of Congress, has this bit Of political
history hooked on to the party Of his
faith:
"For more than q century," he says,
'the Democratic party has opposed
the creation of useless Offices, but in
the last six years. Democratic con-
gresses have created more Offices and
more useless Offices than were ever
created in the same length Of time
since the government was organised.
For more than q century the Demo
cratic party preached and practiced
economy in all public expenditures,
but, despising our traditions and
teachings, q Democratic congress,
even before we engaged in the Euro,
pean war, had spent more money than
any congress which had ever as.
sembled in the history Of the republic,
Our fathers were wise enough to know
that extravaganee breeds cOrruption,
that an extrayasant government cam
no more escape becoming q corrupt
governnsut than q spendthrift can es-,
cane becoming q bankrupt and our,
children will learn this truth in bitter
experience"
