World More Speedy.

One of the three chief characteristics of advancing civilization has been the increase in mans power of moving rap idly from one place to another The other two have been the rapid multipli- cation of clothes and other useful pro- ducts by machinery, and the elaboration of means for the self-destruction of mans genius.
 Probably the mechanical reproduction of clothes, etc, has been on the whole the most serviceable of the three, though we cannot withhold our sympathy from the war office chemists, who had de- vised gases to poison whole army corps and, bombs to wipe out whole cities just after the late war came to an end How ever, they have a future, as Lord Bea- consfield once said of Greece, and we dc not question their. power to carry their service to civilization so far that man may soon cease upon the earth and the Day of Judgment become unnecessary.
 But certainly the develonment of speedy movement from place to place has within the last century been almost as remarkable as the growth of factories or the invention of implements for the de. struction of mankind.

supplies large proportion of the inn ports of Mexico, lying just alongside as she does, and takes a correspond ing proportion of her exports. Even prior to the war we were supplying about one-half of Mexicos imports while our European friends were sup plying the other half. With the cir cumstances of the war, their facilities for supplying the class of merchandise required by Mexico were naturally minimized and as a result the United States is now supplying about S5 per cent. of the merchandise imported into Mexico and taking about 90 per cent of her exports.
 Still another reason for the large trade between Mexico and the United States lies in the fact that Mexico has a tropical or sub-tropical climate while the climate of 1he United States is that of the temperate zone, and as a result the intrechanges of tropical products on the one hand for temper ate zone products, and especially man ufactures, on the other are very large. The United States now imports an- nually over $2,000,000,000 worth of tropical and sub-tropical products as against $350,000,000 worth in 1900, and the fact that Mexico is able to supply material of this character, which in cludes India-rubber, fibers, coffee, ca coa, cotton, tobacco, sugar, and vege- table oils, makes the markets of the United States especially attractive tC her producers, while the fact that a very large proportion of her imports are manufactures renders this country especially attractive to her buyers particularly in view of the fact that the time required to obtain merchan-
 disc from the United States is natur.
 ally much less than that of goods ord
 cred from Europe
 | One further reason for the gains ir recent years of our share in the trade
 of Mexico is presumably due to th,
 very large and steadily increasing
 amount of American capital invested
 in that country. which before the wa
 was estimated at over a billion dollar
 and was recently estimated by Sena

TRADE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO

, The trade of the United States with Mexico has been heading for the $500, 900, 900 line in the fiscal year 1920, which ends with next month. Our trade with Mexico even during the dis turbed period since the resignation of President Diaz in 1911 has shown re- markable gains. It totaled says a statement by The National City Bank of New York, $115 ,000, 900 in 1910; drop ped to s110,000,000 in 1915; then, des bite the continued disturbances since that date, advanced to 1000, 600 in 1917, $245,000,000 in 1918, and s27S,000,- 900 in 1919, while the March figures, the latest received, indicated a total of over $300, 900 ,00O in the fiscal year end ing with June 1920. Whether recent events in Mexico will prevent it's reaching that high water mark of $500, 900, 900 for the current fiscal year cannot be foretold It is a fact, how ever, that the sales by the United States to our 15,000,000 neighbors in Mexico in the calendar year 1919 were more than to the 300, ,000, 900 inhabi- tants of ndia or the 400, 100000 of China. Our imports from Mexico in the calendar year 1919 were $14S, ,926, 1 900; exports to Mexico s131. .452, 900.
