LESS MEAT EATEN

Ten years ago the per capita con-
sumption of beef in this country was
IS pounds, but in 1920 it was not
quite Sc IL pounds. Does that mean
we are not living as we'll or are liv-
ing better? The difference may be
due in considerable degree to better
management in disposing of what
| formerly was waste.
While the government reports show
q falling off in the consumption of
beef an increase for the past six years
is shown in veal, very likely partly
due to price. With regard to the
consumption of mutton and lamb it
appears that last year the frozen
product of New Zealand was brought
here to the extent of over a hundred
million pounds, nearly Il fifth as much
as that produced in this country.
Pork production in 1920 fell below
that of the previous year. All in all
the American is eating less meat than
he did ten years ago, but he has not
yet reached the point Indicating lack
of nourishment.

MORE ABOUT MEXICO

Predictions of the early downfall
of the Obregon regime are beginning
to multiply, whether because of act
ual conditions, propaganda or, both,
remains to be seen. One of these
worthy of notice is made by an ex-
perienced newspaperman with six
teen years experience in Mexico.
Harpers publish his latest book, 1.-THE
People of Mexico" In a recent in
terview the author Wallace Thomp-
son, warns US not to apply our own
standards to Mexico. The people are
different and react differently.
Just as certain diseases do not
affect him as they do US, so certain
social conditions produce reactions
entirely opposed to those which, bas-
ing our ideas on our own experiences,
we should expect. The rulers of
Mexico are now the 'meztizos,' or
half breeds. The classes in control
know nothing of history, either their
own or that of other countries. They
have virtually no culture, no back
ground. In the biggest towns outside
! of Mexico City itself there are not
enough privately owned books to
make a decent library for any book
ishly inclined man. Because of this
ignorance of the past they have new
er sought their own solutions TO their
internal problems How could they
with nothing to guide them?"
In Mexico as we'll as in Cuba the
question resolves itself, absorbing to
Mr.. Thompson, into the supremacy
of the white race.
1.-THE country is now mixed blood
Indian, hut she must become white
at least in government-by one or
three eventualities, for her position
in the economic life of the world will
not let her degenerate utterly. One
of these eventualities is intervention
which would be costly and bloody. not
worth the price Another is the con-
| tinuation of the chaos which she has
known for SO many years and to
! which there will be no end until the
whites alone emerge. The third and
most practical is a revolution which
would carry into power some faction
that would call white brains, native
and foreign, to MeXico's aid"
