Washington, March 29.-All the
various Influences which managed
to keep the relations between the
Wilson administration and Mexico
in an atmosphere Of controversy,
mutual suspicion, propaganda and
selfishness interfering with the ef-
forts of the two governments to get
together, are at work again trying
this time to, prevent the Harding
administration from reaching an
understanding with the Obregon
government
.s.It-ist tyne that the cenditiens laid
down by Secretary Colby as q step
toward recognition are In the main
what the new administration here
wants to see accepted. II the two
governmental, however were the
only factor in the situation, the So
luton might be worked out ami
cably. But certain American inter-
ests impatient to force the hand Of
both Washington and Mexico City
are determined to show General
Obregon that unless he comes into
line the same process Of disinte-
grafton will set in as managed to
weaken the Carranza government.
Notwithstanding the fact that con-
ditions in Mexico are greatly i'm
proved over what they were during
the Carranza regime and are closer
to the status Of things In 1910 than
they have been since Diaz held
power, the. suppression sought to be
created is that Mexico is back in
the same stages of anarchy as she
was four Of five years ago.
Help by Evolution.
Such discussions as the Harding
cabinet has had on matters Of for
eign policy have been characterized
by desire to help Mexico BY evo-
luton rather than revolution
There is not the. slightest ground
for believing that the Harding ad.
ministration would countenance
counter-revolutionary propagands

we will go on and build the biggest
navy afloat.
Secretary DENLY has spoken for
the Administration.
He has spoken like man of sense
and real American.
So we take it for granted that the
President wants to have the big
navy.
1t is up to the Congress to provide
the money-or, rather, to appropri-
ate the money. We folks will pro-
vide it.
We won't provide grudgingly,
either. We will do it gladly and
never feel it.
Why, we will have to dig up only
about cent year for each dollar
we throw into the hats of European
war beggars.
We will have to spend only about
one-tenth the sum England found it
so easy to get from us and is now
finding it so impossible to pay to us.
In other words, all we have to do
is to spend on our own American
navy fraction of the money we
have wasted in building up Eng
lands navy.
Leave it to the American people
to be willing to spend that much in
the way of good sense and home
protection against the danger Gre
ated by the others stupidity.
The Congress ought to make good
the brave words of Secretary DENLY.
They are wise words as we'll as
brave words-wise and patriotic
words.
The biggest navy in the world
that is what we should have; and
what we must have if the Republic
is to exist in peace and security.

Feast and
Famine in Coal

II takes a steady average produc-.
tion of 100000 tons of bitumi-
nous coal a month to supply
normal consumption in the United
States, of which Is per cent is in
homes, 30 per cent by railroads and
the remainder in miscellaneous in
dustry.
In the first quarter of 1921 the
monthly production has not aver
aged 100000 tons.
The miners are not striking. There
are plenty of empty coal cars. The
public is not buying; factory engines
are stilled.
We may have again the expert
ence of last autumn-a slack sum-
mer demand, then a belated rush,
congestion, soaring prices, fear and
almost the realization of paralysis.
Many mining companies prefer
that because then they can profteer.
But it is a bad business policy,
which the Government must stop it
the mine owners don't. N
Coal - even bituminous - isn't
perishable. 1t can be stored. Needs
can be foreseen to within a small
margin.
Public ownership of coal mines
public ownership of railroads, public
control of stored coal reserves would
permit more even distribution of
mining, steadier and fairer prices
and the protection of workers in
steady employment and consumers
in fairer prices. No great industry
has been so mismanaged and so
non-progressive as the coal industry.

There was the desire to die in service, but be-

been so near the Presidency that it seemed as
suredly his after eight years speaker, this
faithful public servant came to the end Of a USE

Careless. youth fills age with cares
Old age is never respected in debts or

To say "No" at the proper time is better
than great eloquence.
Where cunning and compulsion fail to
make an entrance, politeness opens the door

A gossiping bore is like watch, ticking

when he goes.
Today is the favorite son of Father

When liars fall out with each other they
tell the truth.
The best brands of opportunities are
those we make ourselves.
The average man on his feet is worth

we run across in the @. o. c..

No distance parts true friendships,
Nor time its happiness sears.
So when we hear some name extolled,
For deeds of merit nne.

How often do our thoughts revert.
To pleasant scenes of youth.
when all our hearts were light and free
And al our words were truth.

Floating Debt

In the first two months or
the present year the Gov

edness increased a quarter
of a billion dollars. Seven
and a half billions Of
Ashort-date debt" will ma
ture within the next two
years. Meanwhile revenue
from income and excess
profits taxation is falling.
Tha Treasury Deartmcnt
Is floating 100000, 900 of
Treasury certificates, half
at 51b. and half at 5% per
cent interest. They make
a good. safe investment.
But since economy is so
pressingly important. why
not economize in our inter-
est hills?
The people have put
S170,000,000 in the Postal
Savings banks under a s2,-
500 limit for only Q per
cent interest. There are
at least s2.0o0.00o,000 saw
ings in the United States
which never get into any
bank. They repose in buried
tin cans, in old socks. In
various hiding places.
II every postoffice were a
postal savings bank, with
no limit on deposits, and IL
Uncle Sam paid az or 4
per cent interest, would II
not he possible for the Gov
eminent to finance its float

banks at high rates?
Men and women who fool
ishly distrust banks would
probably be willing to trust
