WHY NOT PUT THE PLEDGE IN
 WRITING?

President Obrcgou of Mexico, has issued a statement to the American newspapers drcIar- ing that it is not the intention of the McNican government to apply rctroactivrIy the contis- catorv clauses of the CarrmZa constitution un der which a vast amount of American property, acquired regularly under the Mexican laws "N- isting of the time has been seized.
 If President Obregon is sincere in this matter what is his objection to making this pledge in CT than orally to the newspapers! Assuming that he s sincere, his personal statement would have no binding force upon successor in office, and with a change in policy the question now at issue would have to be rc-opcncd.
 President Obergon is definitely declining to his government should be recognized he will give the same protection to American rights in Mexico that the American government gives to Mexican rights in the United States. This is the whole Mexican controversy. No amount of press agenting by the Obergon government in the United States is a sufficient substitute for the usual orderly procedude between nations. What the United States government demands and expects is frank open definite agreements which will furnish a modus vvcnd between Mexico and the United States. Otherwise, it is safe to say, there will be no recognition of Mexico by the American government. II is reasonably certain that Mexico needs the United States about as badly as the United States needs Mexico

TO RESTORE PNEUMATIC SERVICE

Engineers retained by the Joint Congresson al Postal Service Commission, after investiga- tions at the New York post office, have recom- mended that the pneumatic tube service in that office be re-cstabIishcd. The tubes were in op- cration for several years up to the latter part of the BurIcson administration of the depart mcnt but for some reason he became bitterly antagonisic to their use, and appropriations for them were discontinued The former prcs- dent vetoed one auunaI post office appropria tion bill for the sole reason that is contained an item for the operation of the tubes. Similar tube systems are installed in post offices in other large cities and it k anticipated that they will shortly b. put into service again.

PRIORITY FOR TAX LAW

Sentiment in both house and congress ap- pears to be increasing in favor of putting the new internal revenue tax bill ahead of the tariff measure. Word has been received from the Bureau of Internal Revenue that unless the re- vised law is received soon it will be impossible to reorganize the working force of the bureau so to handle it's provisions in their appi- cation to incomes for 1921. Republican lead CTS in the senate are said to favor pigeonholing the tariff bill when it comes from the house until the tax measure has been taken up and passed. Millions of new tax blanks must be printed and new regulations prepared to con form with the new internal revenue law, and unless there is sufficient time to accomplish the work before January it is feared that busi- ness will be thrown into confusion
