inent business man of Whitakers,
died at his home in that town last

and death followed in about an hour.

been in the best 70 health, and the

been learned.
The deceased, who was 62 years
of age, was the son of the late ]. II.
Cutchin, and prominently identified
throughout this section of the State.
He is survived by his widow and one
daughter, Mrs. J. B. Whitaker.

nation and as one OF the first steps
in the Obregon Administrations pro-

opportunities and promise.

wrong conception of the Mexican

Gently returned to Los Angeles fol-
lowing a two years tour through his
native land. ITO him the Mexican is
the villain of the motion-picture
screen, and he attributes all the de-
fects and vices of that character to
the entire race. The Mexican thinks
that the citizen of the United States
is a man with but one aim in life
chasing the almighty dollar.
1T is most unfortunate that the
two countries could not have been
more understanding neighbOrs, but
this is now being overcome by the
honest desire of both to unite in
closer commercial bonds.
Mexico is once more on her feet.
Peace has been attained. Today we
are working hard to make up for the
time lost during the ten year revolu-
ton. The people of Mexico aSe reunit-

portunity is now given to competent
citizens of our republic, which is at
tracing more capital than any other
nation has ever received.
''The great influx of foreign in
vestors is due to the changing senti-
ment toward our country which rs

KILLING THE FISH.

Our attention has been called to
the death of fish at the mouth of
Hominy swamp where it .empties into
Contentnea Creek. Some are of the
opinion that it is the sewage from
the city, and others that it is the acid
and chemicals from the fertilizer
factories in Wilson. At any rate we
are informed there are scores of dead
fish OF all kinds floating on the sur
face of the water in that vicinity.

ADMINISTRATION
ACCEPTED BORAH
ON DISARMAMENT
CONTINUED from page ID


greater than that vouchafed any
American president. The question has
indeed been brought closer home by
the announcement of Secretary Mel
lon that the European countries owe
the United States more than a billion
dollars in interest since the war.
The ability of Europe to pay that in
terest depends upon the amounts
needed for domestic appropriations
on armies. and navies. If America
could have received a billion dollars
in interest, income taxes would have
been correspondingly decreased in
the United States because there
would have been just bilIi0E dol
lars less to raise from American tax
payers. The overwhelming votes for
the Borah resolution in both the
Senate and the House are not AIto-
gether the expression of new eenI-
mentalism about 3armament andithe
prevention of wars. The votes are
really the expressed apprehension Of
members of Congress that they wfil
not be reelected unless they at least
make gestures in the direction of dis
armament and government economy.
The subject now is transferred to
the White House. The President has
been canvassing the other powers
through the Supreme Council on
which Ambassador Harvey, great
friend of Senator. Borah, is the Amer
lean representative. But the Borah
resolution will make necessary some
thing more than informal feelers.
The Idaho Senator is not the kind
who will allow his resolution to be
passed and pigeon-holed. AT the
proper time he Will make pertinent
inquiry as to the progress being made
in the negotiations. Mr.. Borah has
grasped a popular issue and will ten
| aciously cling to it until something
concrete is accomplished.
