wv HETHER or not the new Mexican
w Government wins success, it as
suredly will deserve it if the policies
with which President Obregon has begun are
carried consistently forward.
Particularly notable is the reduction of the
standing army from one hundred and fifty
thousand men to one third that number, and
the appropriation of the money thus saved
to improvements and extensions of the ma
tons schools. The purpose is to make edu-
cation universal, compulsory and free. Even
in the schools of law and medicine, there
is to be no tuition charge. Textbooks, for
the elementary grades, at least, are to be
supplied without charge, and school kitch-
ems will provide the children with hot lunch
es. The plan of financing these beneficent
lines of service is simply to transfer from
the department Of war to the department Of
education funds that formerly were required
for a large army. Could such policy be
made International and worldwide, how the
burdens of men would be lightened and their
labors enriched
The administering of one hundred thou
sand soldiers would have given rise to grave
problems, had not the Government been pre-
pared with means of livelihood for the men
discharged. These were given choice be-
tween farm ownership and food industrial
jobs. Most of them said to have taken
the former-and good omen that Is for
the country's development and stability. Our
the Interior, made earnest efforts to provide
system of land gr4nts for United States
soldiers at the close Of the World War; to
which end, Secretary Lane had worked out
an inviting and thoroughly practicable plan.
But short-sighted, unliberal Congress could
not be moved to favorable action, so that the
splendid enterprise abandoned in rich
America, to be undertaken by poor Mexico.
What the year. or the decade, may bring
forth across the Rio Grande, only events can
| tell. But if education and industry and agri-
culture are given fair chance, shall we not
witness transformed and marvelously pros
porous Mexico? And will not the United
States then be well rewarded for patience
and helpfulness to a struggling neighbor?
Ten years ago Mexico's trade with us amount
ed to one hundred million dollars; last year
it appropriated three hundred and forty mil
lion. which was ninsty-three per cent Of her
entire foreign conEderce. Imagine what pro-
portions that trade will reach when the con-
structive influences Of peace come fully into
play! Those who cannot see the worth of
friendship with Mexico on humanitarian
grounds should see it at least as matter of
good business

THE DRUG PROBLEM
BY H. Arlington Bruce
"HAT the problem raised by drug addc-
ton remains maj -medicolegal one is

THAT the problem raised by drug addic
ton remains a major-me dicolegal one is
evinced by the great attention it still
receives both in legal and in medical circles
A recent meeting of the Philadelphia County
Medical Society was devoted entirely to con
sideration of the possibilities and methods o.
curing drug addicts.
Considerable diversity of opinion was shown
But on certain important points there was
pretty general agreement. Notably it was fell
that the confirmed drug user who does not
have sincere desire to be cured can hardly
be cured by any method. In the words of DR.
Hobart A. Hare of Philadelphia:
Certain patients are easily cured, in my ex-
perience and they separate themselves from
the true habtue, who says, Doctor, for Gods
sake, save mel and does not mean it.
"TheSe others say, Doctor, am not going
to take any more of that narcotic They NEAR
it. There is difference in the morale a1o
courage of the two classes"
Dr. Hare. moreover, implied that the former
group pot merely did not really want to be
cured, but suffered from inherited defects pre-
diSpoSing to drug addiction Could they moi
be pSychologically influenced though, so thai
they might develop both desire to be cured
and ability to react favorably to appropriate
treatment?
AS reported in the Journal of the American
Medical ASSOCIATION, QlStnctly nOpeIul answer
was returned to this question by DR.. Alexander
Lambert of New York. Specifically, on the
other hand, DR.. Lambert excepted "hoSpital
FOUNDERS" of low-grade mentality and con-
firmed habit. at is almost impossible to dc
anything with that group" Otherwise he took
an optimistic view, provided both medical and
psychological means are employed in treatment
"The real therapeutic care of the patient is
begun only when, successfully Imprisoned from
his particular narcotic, he is being built up and
rejuvenated both in body and mind
Treatment must vary not only with the kind
of narcotic taken, but, to a certain degree, with
the amount and length of time it has been in
dulged in; also with the cause which prompted
the choice of narcotic"
Often, perhaps in most cases, the cause Is q
desire to escape from some distressing reality
physical pain, feeling of inferiority, etc
Some people, for example, take drugs because
of disappointment in love, or because they hate
to acknowledge even to themselves their in
ability to get on in the world.
This means a moral weakness which must
be overcome through psychic re-education."
In proportion as it is overcome the danger OF
a relapse lessons.
Or, as expressed by DR.. J. H. W.. Rhein in
the course of the evenings discussion: =
ITO cure a drug addict means to reconstruct
and re-educate his personality so that he can
adapt himself to his emotional reactions"

Rhine Going Dry

The upper River Rhine has virtually
gone dry, and there has been no water
connection between Basic and Strasbourg
since November IS. A large number of
BOATS have been stranded as a result. The
depth of water at Kehl is only SO cent?
meters (35 IL inches) and at other places
it has dropped to so centimeters.
The hitherto extensive river trade is at
a standstill, fish can be caught by hand
and dangerous sandbanks are piling up.
Such situation has not existed before in
100 years, the records reveal.
Curious incidents are happening daily.
Undesirable Germans expelled by the
French from Alsace and Lorraine now
are able to talk to relatives on the oppo-
site bank from the middle of the dried-up
river There is also some exchange of
contraband goods going on.

Our Ne1u Trade Fleet

-EW more imp. rant lines have been writ
n ten on Americas recent economic his
tory than these: "The merchant fleets
Of the United States have attained capacity
OF more than sixteen million gross tons;l in
1921 the total will be eighteen million. From
o backward, conspicuously inferior position,
the American merchant marine has become
the second largest in the world in extent of
tonnage and number of ships; in modernness
of design, construction and equipment, it's
fleets of steel steamers excel all others
SO writes Mr.. Gustavus Myers, an author
fly on his subject, in the January CURRENT
HISTORY. Thai America should have
achieved this commanding result in less than
three short years, after more than half a
century of decline and dependence in mari
time shipping, is of the ., constructive
marvels of the World War. Had she not en-
tered that conflict it is doubtful that her
trade fleets would be in any wise what they
are today. Repeated efforts to bring Govern
ment resources to the construction of an ade-
quate American merchant marine had failed
until our presence in the war gave us not
only an important but a vital stake in the
outcome of the submarine campaign. 1t
was imperative, critically imperative, that we
h1lild ships faster than the wClfish U-boats
could sink them; elsewise, there would be
imminent danger of the wars being lost
That the nation labor and capital and en-
terprise proved equal to the task rebounds
today to the incalculable advantage Of Ameri
can business. Without merchant marine
OF large proportions we certainly could not
have held our own in the great contest now
developing for world trade circumstance
as we a few ears ago, we should be I'M
der necessity of shipping in the sTessels of oul
competitors and taking such service as they
might be pleased to grant AS it is, Ameri
can goods are assured of prompt delivery tt
American bottoms to whatsoever markets W.
efficiently cultivate; and that is prime facto
in the foreign trade success on which IN
ternal prosperity SC materially depends.

Living Costs

Expenditures of the average American fam.
lily for rent, fuel and light not only resisted,
but ran counter during the last six months
of 1920 to the general tendency toward a
lower level in prices, it is shown in figures
compiled by the department Of 1abor's bureau
of the labor statistics.
The figures made public cover expendi-
lures by average families in only eight cities
Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit,
New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and
Oakland and Seattle-but the wide terrific
rial range was accepted as giving the figures
more than local significance.

MEATH Words
From, Mr.. Baruch

INA meaty letter to the secretary of the
Kansas State Board Of Agriculture, Mr..
Bernard M. Baruch, famously able
man Of affairs as we'll as deep thinker
On economic problems, asserts the farmers
need and right to be placed on % footing
Of equal opportunity with the buyer" Writ
ing as q student and as one whose sole in
terest is in the lettering Of conditions for
the common good, not as politician or a
stirrer\ up of idle discomfort, Mr.. Baruch
launches no attack upon middlemen and coun-
try merchants and imputes no improper or
sinister motives" to any who take part In
the present methods of marketing crops.
But he does show that those methods, IN
many instances, are inadequate, inefficient
and accordingly unjust to producers, and In
the long run unjust % all concerned.
Especially marked is the need OF proper
storage facilities, together with standardized
grading and weighing. Bonded warehouses
for cotton, wool, tobacco and like common
ties, elevators for grain, refrigeration plants
or curing houses for perishable products
should be established at primary points
preferably under private ownership, out un
der state ownership if private capital Is not
forthcoming and should be operated under
state and federal supervision. Such ware
benefit to farmers in selling and OF mucn
advantage to those who wished to hold their
products. Touching the latter, Mr.. Barucn
points out that their notes, secured by ware
house receipts and maturing at various dates,
would be deposited in the treasures OF
warehouses;, and against them would be is
sued bearer certificates as is now done by
large corporations in the issuance OF short
time notes in denominations of one hundred
five hundred and one thousand dollars.
Further,
Bearer certificates in negotiable form
would attract the private investor. Large
sums of money in the locality of produc-
ton would seek investment in these ne
gotiable and well-protected instruments,
protected by the resources of the corpora
tion plus the farmers individual credit
plus the security of the warehouse receipt
based on proper certification of the
amount and grade Of, and insurance on,
the praduct covered. All market in
formation should be collected and made
available through the Agricultural De-
partment information of the char
acter now in possession Of buyers and
consumers of farm products.
These ideas are not new, but vast deal
remains to be done in translating them into
actual service in the south and, for the matter
of that, throughout the country. To the ex-
tent that they are made operative agricul-
tural production will find much of the Sc
curity and reward which hitherto it has
acked.

Hiccough Epidemic
An epidemic of hiccoughs with which
the physicians are unable to cope has
caused much alarm among the Budapest
population. The patients are unable to
sleep or eat and some of them have re-
NAMED in the grip of the malady for two
or three weeks, until the affection had run
it's course. AS yet there have been no ia
tai results.
Prof. Benedict, of the local medical fac
ulty, has sounded an alarmist note in con-
nection with the epidemic.

coughing is a forerunner Of the influenza
but it is possible we shall be visited by n

THE KEY WORD
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

The key word to the universe is Growth.
1t explains more mysteries than any other
word.
Perhaps that was whatfthe old Greek phi
losopher, Heraclitus the Obscure, had in
mind when he said that all things were Be-
coming, nothing Is.
That idea is the core of Evolution, which
is no more nor less than the theory that God
did not Make the universe at all, He is Grow
ing it.
Men make things They build houses and
hencoops, weave rugs, cut and sew clothes,
paint pictures with brushes and carve statues
with chisels.
And by the same token they pile up thou
sands of words and thus a Book, they add
evidence and form a Judgment, they con-
lection a Reason out of logic, they arrive
at Conclusions out of consequentlies and
therefores, and would create Education
by means of Courses Of Study.
All the while, the only real attainments
we reach are those we grow unto.
Myself when young did firmly hold that
God intended all men to be good and per-
feet, and that they~ar not is explained by
that "an enemy hath done this
But I was mistaken. For~if the Creator
aimed at making His human creatures thus
complete, He missed. And He does not miss.
At least He would have made us a few
| samples, half dozen or so absolutely per-
feet, so that we would look at them, but
there is none such.
he muSC nave maze us TO 90 WndC we are
all doing. And there is one thing we are
all doing. We are all Growing.
We are becoming.
1t doth not yet appear what we shall be-
| 1t never will appear.
For the essential element of life, as R.
L. Stevenson wrote, is not to Arrive, but to
Travel.
| 1t is not to succeed. It is to fail hope
fully.
| Realization rs never up to anticipation. Be-
cause the material of which life is made is
anticipation.
The one trumpet call to the human race,
the eternal reveille, sounding at every sun
kup, is go On!'
AS walking is but succession Of falls
forward, so any progress is by mistakes. We
are continually experimenting, and most of
our experiments are failures.
But what of it? There will be new ex-
periments tomorrow.
No man can read History, the record of
successive empires and civilizations, without
the race us slowly growing up, that over
centuries of time and kingsdoms of space
it is building up something.
Instead of fanciful Utopfas let us rather
try to establish some intelligent Meanwhile.
People obsessed by Finalities become dam
gerOus and destructive.
Such were the Churchmen who would
have forced the world into a spiritual unity
before the time; and the Bolshviki who try
to carpenter a millennium instead of grow
ing it.
Whatever the Golden Age to come may
| be, it must be Grown out of this age and
! the Epast.
Let us therefore give more attention to
preserving liberty and peace, so that the
world may grow, and not by any righteous
violence seek to force it.
