Important Mexican Legislation

The news from Mexico intimating that
the Mexican government is framing
legislation to destroy the retroactive
features of Article XNVII of the Mcxi-
can constitution. thus giving Mexican
oil companies complete titles to thcir
land holdings is Of more vital importance
TO Mexican Petroleum Co. than any
other company because the MPXiran
Petroleum has larger and more valuable
holdings than any other company. The
proposed new legislation will be the
elimination of d fight made for years
by the company almost alone to main
tain its complete title to its oil lands.
The company has never even considered
compromise although compromises
have been suggested repeatedly and
urged strongly. The victory now ut
hand is, therefore complete one.
F'inland's Metal Industries
During the last few years the metal
Industries of Finland have been working
under favorable conditions. Raw ma
tcrialS, with the exception of coke, have
been obtained quite easily. The de
mand for metal products has been good,
and the factories have worked continu-
ously, with the exception of a few
which stopped for Il short time on ac-
count Of strikes. There has been an
increase in prices due. to the increase
in the cost of production and Of raw
materials, an increase augmented by
the low rate of exchange, but the prices
OF domestic products have thus far been
low enough to meet foreign competition.
Recently there has been an apparent
decrease in the demand. due to the
lack of money in the country, but all
the factories have work for the present
and some for long time ahead. They
will need to procure more raw ma
terials, however. in order to keep up a
ligCd to import all the raw materials
needed fos these Industries. Most Of
those that are being used We're i'm
ported from Germany at prices prevail
ing at the time Of purchase.
Now, owing to tn" depreciation Of
German currency. German -manufac' =
tured articles are exported and sold TIT
prices lower than those already paid for
the raw materials. Furthermore. it is
said that the German Government is
assisting the metal industries of that
country by placing on raw materials a
high export duty ,SOmetimcS AS high IA
30 per cent?, in order that the finished
articles may not be more expensive when
exported than the raw material. The
result is that many German articles
are now being sold in Finland at lower
prices than it is possible to sell The
products OF the domestic metal indus
tries. The situation is regarded as crit %
ical and it is feared that such competi
ton will seriously affect the domestic
industries unless measures are taken by
the government to protect them.

I'D AS il was in the heart OF dc South


cred as it was in the heart of the South
itself
Irrespective of the merits of Mr.. Hard
ing's doctrine there are certain interest
ing aspects to it from a political view
point Republican candidates have in
the past spoken of political equality in
their campaign speeches without Great
ing much of a ripple. Mr.. Harding said
virtually the same thing in his presiden-
tiaI campaign as he said at Birmingham
it pleased the Negro voters and was
hardly commented upon at the time. But
as President. no one has gone
quite as far in recent years in handling
the Negro problem as has Mr. Harding.
theoretically. Republicans and Demo
Gratis have admitted upon occasions that
though democracy means political equal
ity. in actual practice both parties have
had their controversies about granting
that equality.
Designs on Solid South
For several months the leaders of the
Republican party have been planning
real campaign to break the Democratic
hold on the .'SOlid South" Some have
advocated that the way to do it is for
some statement to be made which would
assure the whites in the South that they
could vote the Republican ticket with
out fear of Negro domination. This has
indeed been advocated by those Republi-
cans who hailed from the South and who
knew that some such utteraHce was nee
essary before the whites could be per
Suaded to desert the Democratic stand
ard On the other hand, northern Repub-
leans who have been helped in recent
years by the influx of Negroes into their
congressional districts have feared that

hostile by northern Negroes.
Harding's Compromise
Mr. Harding has tried a compromise.
He declares he does not believe in social
or racial equality That's an important
statement for a President of the United
States to make. But while the South
has always insisted upon its own right
to determine who shall or shall not be
considered social EQUALS the trouble is
that the true fear of political equality
is that il may lead 20 social equality.
At least the Southern Democrats here
who have made a study of the question
declare that the line between political
and social equality is too haZy to draw
| They argue, moreover, that political
equality means the election to Office of
Negroes 10 rule over whites. Such a
status they add, inevitably carries with
/ it social friction.
Republicans who defended Mr. Hard
ing'S speech were vehement in their eX-
pressions of approval, pointing out that
the President has made a real appeal for
a united nation and had not minced words
i'm contending for a genuine and not an
imaginary democracy. The fact that Ne
groes in the audience applauded and
cheered while whites stood silent. as re
ported in the dispatches from Birming-

A MAN YOU CAN TRUST

John c. Haynes, of Annandale, N.
]. came into this office recently. We
had heard much of Mr. Haynes, but
had never met him. And when we did
meet him, we did not have to be told
Here sa man of ability" His per
sonality is the kind that inspires to
trust. His appearance is that of a
man who has strength, and is cap
able of using it. He is a mans man.
His handclasp is rugged and sincere.
His face is kindly, and yet forceful,
His address is sincere and genial
without having the smirk of the oily
politician. His mind works smoothly,
firmly and quickly. He is sure of him
self and knows his ground.
In short, Mr.. Haynes is a real man
with real heart and head, and what
he has to do, he will do. He gives
you that impression. 1t is a mere Incl
dental that he is running for Free
holder on the Republican ticket. He
is man before that. And being
man of firm understanding and con-
crete strength, he is the sort of man
to do public job
The public is sick and tired of the
professional politician who bows and
scrapes and fuses and slobbers. The
man who lives and speaks his con-
vietions soundly and Clearly is the
man demanded for public office to-
day. The "Uriah Heep" speciman of
vermin is scheduled for the scrap
heap. His fawning and servile solicit
tation is marking him for what he
his a servile tool in the hands of his
master. The sincere-thinking men and
women who realize the seriousness of
the responsibility we must place in
public officials, should welcome the
possibility of securing such a man
for the task that confronts the tax
payers of Hunterdon County.

The War Rich.

A story of the new rich. tells Of a
family named Stubs, which became
very rich during the war and, in con-
sequence, purchased a stately home in
one of the counties in England.
1t happened that some one who had
known them in less prosperous days
was in the neighborhood and thought
he would call.
He did so, and asked for "Mr.
Stubs" The butler regarded him
with perfectly straight fhce.
There must be some mistake, sir"
he said. This is the house of Mr.. St.
Thhs."
