Editorial Comment
A Wise Regulation.
(Boston Post.) j.

Automobiles and others who are
interested in the campaign to make
the highways safer will be interested
in the report of the recent arrest on
the Portland-S aco road of motorist
for passing another automobile on
hill.
1t was during the attempt to do
that very thing on a hill in suburban
Boston that one of the most terrible
automobile tragedies of recent years
occurred. The Portland Press, in ex-
planning the Maine law. says:
1t may be observed that nearly all
the accidents which occur where col
Iisions result are due to the attempt
of one car to pass another. Sudden
Nv lodging out of 9 line of cars and
attempting t. go ahead frequently re-
suits in two cars coming together, or
one car. TO avoid a collision, taxing
to thu ditch and overturning. The
careful driver will not attempt pass
ing another car upon road with
many curves or heavy grades, but VIII
wait a time when the road ahead may
be seen for a long distance All
drivers are not careful. however, and
it is to reach them that the law
quoted above was enacted.

NOT ENCOURAGING

1t is not improbable that there
have been times when some people
at least have wished it were possible
to leave Ireland to fight it out be-
tween the North and the South, but
all must see that England cannot
leave the North of Ireland in the
lurch now that Ulster has complied
with Great Britain's terms, also
that she cannot consent to the
establishment of a hostile coun-
try at her front door. Eng
land. what with her troubles in
India and Afghanistan, as we'll as in
Ireland, not to mention affairs in
Turkey, would seem to have the
disagreement of her past coming
home to roost in f1ocks. But Eng
lands government of colonies has
been in the main beneficial to the
governed a fact which will weigh in
the scales when the final result is at
tanned.
& The deviltry that has been afoot in
Ulster the past few weeks when
there should have been as correct an
observance of peace negotiations as
was manifested under the Dali
Eireann would seem to demonstrate
the impossibility of having a united
Irish government. except by coercion.
Perhaps the outrages were perpetrat
ed with that end in view. Be that as
it may, the demonstration is pretty
conclusive and would seem to pre-
clude the possibility of agreeing with
the terms announced by De Valera.
Nor are these symptomatic of a de-
sire for peaceful settlement. There
has been widespread sympathy with
the desire of the Irish people for
freedom, a sympathy especially pro-
nounced in this country. Whether
the attitude of those now in control
of Irish affairs, North or South, is
calculated to increase that sympathy
may we'll be doubted.

ton of his country's stability. THESE
conditions are not unjust, nor do they
infringe upon Mexico's sovereignty.
They constitute set of guarantees
which the United States is willing 10
give as well as to receive.
Until a government in Mexico gives
these guarantees it will not be recog-
nized by the United States govern
ment. and unless it is recognized 1t
can not obtain the financial ana
moral support required to stabilize
the country and turn it toward pros
perity. Obregon's administration is
without sufficient revenue to maintain
itself. If the American oil interests
have agreed to advance funds. the
crisis may be postponed for few
weeks or months. but the situation
affects all of Mexico, and therefore it
is beyond the power of the oil com :
panies alone to save the present
regime.

FORESTS DREADED ENEMY

The days of the past few weeks
have had full measure of apprehen-
sion for the owners of woodland or
for those living in the vicinity of the
forests; everything dry as finder and
the grim certainty that fire once
started would spread wildly, threat
ening not only the forests but the
communities in its path. These ap-
prehensions assumed definite form in
the territory just to the east of Ban
gor, Monday. One who has Travelled
the highways through Milford may
form some conception of the danger
when reading the reports of the con-
f1agration raging there Tuesday
morning. A most desirable servant,
fire is a monster once it becomes
master.
In these times when the need of
hundreds of thousands of new homes
is an emergency exciting discussion
in the mouths Of all it is at least i'm
pressive to be told that forest fires
annually destroy material enough to
build a five-room frame house every
hundred feet on both sides of a road
extending from New York to Chica-
go; that so per cent of the forest
fires in this country the past five
years and which burned over 56,4SS,-
900 acres and destroyed nearly
eighty-six million dollars worth of
lumber, were preventable. Once the
public becomes thoroughly aroused
the fellow who is careless with fire.
throwing burning matches and smok-
ing material about careiessly, build
ing camp fires and leaving them to
shoulder will be recognized for what
he is. an extremely undesirable cit
izen.

Mexican Oil Agreement.
fWashington Post.)


Nothing would be more agreeable to
Americans than to be convinced that
the agreement reached between
American oil magnates and the Obre-
gon administration meant the adjust
ment of all differences and the
restoration of stability in Mexico.
Unfortunately the agreement has. no
such meaning, and if it should be mis-
taken for the foundation Of broad
understanding between the two coun-
tries the result would be disappoint-
ing.
The difficulties in which Mexico
finds itself cannot be swept away by
an agreement with the American oil
companies. President Obregon may
reduce oil export taxes, refrain from
confiscating oil properties, protect
Americans in the oil fields and other
wise meet all obligations in that d.
rection. but he will still be confront
ed with the alternative Of complying
with the. conditions precedent to
recognition by the United States or
