A treaty of amity and commerce which shall
contain solemn pledges made in the name of the
Mexican people to safeguard American property
rights against conscation has been proposed by the
government at Washington to the government at
the City of Mexico If that lead is followed through
and treaty is ratified 1t will of course carry with
1t recognition Of the Mexican government which
signs 1t. And it will also constitute formal en-,
gagement upon the part of the Mexican people to
refrain from constitution making which would have
the effect of wiptng investments made in Mexico
by citizens of this country 1t would be hard 10
overestimate the Importance of such treaty from
the American standpoint. and If 1t goes through
credit for one of the few diplomatic successes in the
/long history Of our relations with the people Of
Mexico must be given to the man who persuaded the

policy first announced by Secretary Fall while he

COIL INDUSTRY CONTROL

may Be that If the coal operators Of the country
do carry the fight against making the kind Of trade
reports called for in the Frelnghuysen bill they can de-
feat it. but there will be other congresses and oher
Fremghysen bills and ultimately the industry will Be
voted down.
Secretary Hoover told the bald truth yesterday
when he told the members Of that conference at the Of
flee Of Secretary Fall that the tendency is toward
naturalization" and the coal industry never received
better advice than that embodied in Hoover suggest.
ion that it cooperate through some government agency
to bring about some measure Of control.
Such control would at least be friendly and ii
would in very marked degree protect the industry al
such from public wrath the next time and every time
there is transportation crisis and the price Of coal
goes up to dizzy heghs.
For coal men to fight against that on the ground
il unjust to single out COAL and to say as some Of
those at the conference yesterday did, that they would
agree to the Frenghuysen bill il it were amended to
include all commodities, is to be either pathetcally or
contempdby insncere, depending upon the knowledge
OF coal industry fundamentals that the protestant has.
The rum interests used to pull out the tisunjust-to-
acknowledgement stop 10 the limit but it is to
be observed that did not get them anywhere in the
end =
The intelligent thing for the coal industry to do is
to think this matter Of the publics relation to their
business through toa logical conclusion and then agree
upon an amount Of control that will be fair to all. In
nation which is thoroughly industnalized as this
one is is as reasonable to ask for facts about mining
and transportation of coal it is to ask for facts about
the banks and the insurance companies.
