INVADE MEXICO
 ON PEACE MISSION
By HOLLAND

ANew York. January 26Early in Feb ruary Mexico is to be invaded. A com pany of considerable size will cross the border with intent to reach Mexico City and to remain there for the great CT part of week. It is to be a peace fu1 invasion, welcomed by citizens of Mexico and from it may flow benefits both for Mexico and the United States which in time will serve to asuage the characterized some of the Mexican aur- of the United States.
 So much has been reported recently of friction in Mexico and so many have
 been the statements which referred
 to the alleged jealously of President Carranza which is centered upon the United States that it will undoubtly be gratifying to learn from those who will take part in this invasion that Mexico is not as#bad as many have believed that republic to be and that with skiliful and wise direction cordial business and com nteI cial relations will be established be- tween Mexico and the United States. so great as to be sufficient guarantee of peace and prosperous will be astonished to hear that in Mexico City a Chamber of Commerce has been whose members are Ameri- can business men who live in that city. It developed so rapidly in membership and influence that although only year or two ago it's members numbered no more than 65, yet now the membership is little over 200.
 Almost all the members of this Cham per of Commerce are either leaders in American industries or their agents in Mexico. In mid-February the first -An- lual trade conference whinch has ever ,een called by an American Chamber of Commerce in a foreign.seountry is to be

 The Mexican business men are certain that if the manufacturers and exporters of the United States want this business and are willing to take the pains which are necessary to secure it then they will successfully compete with the nations across the sea. It is for the purpose of furthering the commercial and interna- tional trade between the United States and Mexico that the conference isa to be held in mid-February at Mexico City.

SILVER IN MEXICO

The worlds demand for silver, surpass- ing any that has heretofore been made. has stimulated mining in Mexico and probably not far from a hundred million dollars in silver will be taken from these Mexican mines. So also the mining of cop per and mercury and to some extent of gold, will be carried on so that the esti- mate is that in the present year the money value of Mexican mineral output will not be far from a hundred and thirty millions Very much of this output will be imported by the United States. It is also estimated that the total received for oil pumped from the Mexican oil fields will be fifty million dollars.

 men, who as whole. in association with
 several bankers who have gained great
 influence. of whom John J. Arnold. of
 Chicago, is fairly representative and
 who is to be chairman of the entire
 group. take part in the conference.
 MExICO'S CORDIAL WELCOME
 While the politicians and the army of
 Mexico may not welcome formally or even informally these American business
 men. they will surely be cordially greeted
 by various business associations of Mex ico, including the National Chamber of
 Commerce. It is. however, true that some who are in official relation to the
 Mexican government have frankly ex- pressed themselves as being in cordial ap- proval of the purpose of this conference
 and of the share the American business leaders will take in it.
 Much has been said about the increase
 of international commerce with Canada and with South America. In fact it has been frequently pointed out that the combined international commerce of the
 nations of the American hemisphere or at least the part of the United States | has in that commerce is of greater
 money value even than our commerce with England.
 Not until recently however has it been possible to secure authoritative figures which reveal the magnitude of our com merce with Mexico, notwithstanding the foam and froth which characterize some part of the political life of that republic as well as the more accute dangers which are created by those who con- I spire for revolutions.
 Tn 1913 the trade between the United States and Mexico was of the money value of nearly two hundred and seventy million dollars. If these figures were not authoritative the publication of them cause incredulity. Very few people realize that although Mexico is in some political antagonism with the United States, never theless, 95 per cent of the international trade of Mexico was carried on with this country in 1919. Mexico's total interna- tional trade in 1920 will probably reach four hundred millions and much the greater part of this will pass between that republic and our own, if the confer
 ence soon to be held in Mexico shows the way.

BUYING IN THE U. s.

Tn the next 12 months Mexico will be able by reason of the increased pros perity which her mineral. oil and agri- cultural output will create, to buy com modites in other countries the estimated value of which in money is two hundred million dollars.
 Some of the nations across the sea arc preparing to gain, if possible, large share of this trade. Germany is to under take, by methods peculiar to the Ger man merchants. to gain no small part of this trade. England also is seeking 1t and even France and Spain.

measure, claiming that the bond issue
would be a tremendous burden for the
state to bear at this time and that the
bonus derived by ex-service men
would be negligible in comparison to
the additional revenues required from
the taxpayers. but the voters ignored
this advice and voted for the pro-
posed bonus plan. The spirit pro-
noting this action is an admirable
one, yet we doubt the wisdom of it.
Only men who served at least two
months will be entitled to a slice of
