MEXICO Is F Ar
FROM U.S.PEACE
Administration Newspa.
pers Sees Little Hope
for Recognition.

WASHINGTON-The Washington
Post, the leading Administration pap
er, and sometimes regarded as semi
official mouth piece for President
Harding, say that The state of af-
fairs in Mexico goes from bad to
worse" This assertion is fortified by
more specific details. For instance,
observes the Post: "The DISCUSSES
adopted by the Oregon regime to
cover bolshevick operations have been
thrown off in many instances, and it
is now evident that Mexico is in the
hands of individuals who are as rapa-
cious and as communistic as the Rus
sian reds. Their method of opera
tions is the same in some cases. Rus
sian agents have taught Mexican Off
Gals many tricks of communism. The
element of honest communism, which
makes zealots of some Russians, does
not appear in Mexican bolshevism. In
Mexico communism is not so much
political belief as it is method of
confiscation of property for the bene-
fit of the confiscators.
1.-THE United States government has
received abundant reports of the
spread of bolshevism throughout Mex
leo under the Obregon regime Mexi-
cans of good standing have made con-
fidential reports showing the ruthless
methods of depriving owners of their
properties, which are then divided
among the officials and their friends
Haciedas, ranches, mines, forest and
grazing ranges, factories, oil proper
ties and other valuable properties are
in process of confiscation. The own
ers may be Americans, Mexicans, or
Europeans, but the process of spoila-
ton is the same There is sometimes
an appearance of legal procedure un-
der the so-called agrarian law, and
puted title, and sometimes a fraudu-
lent strike or claim for laborers'
wages, but in all cases the result is the
confiscation of the property and its di-
vision among the parties who hold of
fetal position. The officials installed
for the protection of the people are
the despoilers. There is no recourse,
as an appeal to other officials brings
nothing but further spoilation if there
is any property left.
The conditions in which Mexicans
fine themselves are so intoerable that
uprisings against Obegon's rule are
reported in many parts of the country.
These movements are spontaneous
and disconnected. Thus far the Obre-
gon organization has been able TO
suppress these revolts, but as they
grow more numerous and formidable
the OBJECTIONS from Obregons army
threaten to weaken his military pow
er the point where he may be over
thrown"

Spring Lamb Crop
Decidedly Short.
Western Production On
ly About 20 Per Cent
Normal

INSTITUTIONAL material short
age in spring lambs is indicated in ad-
vices received by the United States
department of agriculture from the
Western sheep country. Figures are
not available, but trained observers
say that the total lamb production in
Montana, Wyoming, Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada is only
70 per cent of a normal crop.
This also means a smaller supply of
wool. Contracting of both wool and
lambs has reached large dimensions
during recent weeks. Numerous
large Western operators are reported

to be securing the West for new crop
lambs and many sales at 9 to 10 cents
pound are reported with the lattev
price being generally refused in
Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The
price last year was S to 7 cents.
Fleeces on Sleeps backs are selling
as high as IS to SO cents pound, with
some clips including the Jericho pool
clip selling up to 40 cents. The sit
uation is attributed to a shortage of
ewes, the over age of many breeding
flocks, and losses of early spring
lambs on account of cold weather and
the backward spring season.

per week, making 63 per cent working
IL hours per day, 7 or days per
week.
However, very notable change had
taken place by the limited introduction
of the 8-hour day. which was worked
by II per cent of the emp oyees in
1920 for 7 days per week, and by
per cent for days. The introduction
of the 56-hour week, therefore, ap
pears as a consomitant to the dimin-
ishing 84-hour week.

Auto Production
Shows Great Gain.
April is Banner Month
for Manufacturing
Concerns.

WASHINGTON-Reports received
by the Department of Commerce show
further increase in the production of
automobiles during April New rec
ords were made for the output of both
passenger cars and trucks, compared
with the preceding ten months for
which figures are available
With the reports lacking for only a
few small companies, the total April
production of passenger cars amount
ed to 1852, or an increase of near
ly 80 per cent over the March pro-
duction of the identical firms. The
April truck production totaled 81 ,944
machines, compared with lo,44o from
the same firms in March
The following figures give the pro-
duction of identical firms for the
past four months. A few firms have
not yet reported for April, hence the
figures for the earlier months are
slightly less than the totals previous
ly given.

The Penalty of Truth

The publisher wrote his own ticket" he furnished
his own figures to the advertiser before the Audit
Bureau Of Calculations was organized. Most publishers
gave accurate data. but the few who exaggerated their
circulation put a penalty on truth. The truthful pub
Usher many times suffered because his actual circulation
was less than a competitors "claims."
Publishers themselves are the strongest supporters OF
the association formed to correct this evil. The Audit
Bureau Of Circulation is the only organ ization which
veri6es and authenticates the figures submitted by pub
fishers. 1t was formed exclusively for that purpose, and
the "A. B. c. Sterling Mark Of Circulation is the one
seal Of certainty standing for Above Board Circulation.
In placing your advertising, demand A. B. c. reports.
They are now furnished by over 800 Of alnewspapers
in the United States having acirculationof5 5. 900. This
fact is evidence Of the reliability and esta bGshed stand
ing Of the A. B. c. in the business world.

President Coolidge talks about the

cause apparently he knows no more
about it than any other average New

more apparently because he never

Buried Treasures.

OF all the will-o' the wisps with
which this world is furnished, none
perhaps, has been more bedazzling
or more universal in its enticement
than buried treasure. Is any one
immune? 1t gets us all.
A yellowed chart of pirate cave
on some far off island the bearings
of pot of gold S. S. w. from the
blasted tree will charm good money
out of hard boiled business men
and send ordinarily shreWd and pru-
dent pluggers to roast and starve,
and thirst and blister on desert
isles at the ends of the earth And
those of us who do not contribute
or go take it out in reading Treasure

OF all the places where these tales
of pirate gold have found local
habitation the chief is Cocos Island,
wither, even at this moment, band

Cocos Island A speck of land
some five hundred miles off shore in
the blight of Panama, is the great
focus of pirate yarns. If we were
to believe them all this islet must

in all the centuries. One of the
commonest tales is that here was

1t makes no difference that Morgan

More money probably has been
spent on treasure hunting expedi-

ever had. 1t is said that a vace ex-

Notwithstanding, credits the admin
istraticn with IAN almost incredible
chieyement in economy"
The Vice President puts the seal
of approval upon Chairman Lasker
of the shipping board, who is also
"economizing by paying $4,000 and
$4,000 salaries to assistants, and
upon the administrations plan to get
the government out of the shipping
business by giving AWAY our mag
nificent merchant feet with a large
bonus to the purchasers who take
them in order to guarantee the pri-
vate owners against loss. That is
what Mr.. Coolidge calls construct
i've economy"
Although Vice President Coolidge
repeated many of the exploded claims
of ecor1my by spokesman of the
Harding administration in his Brook
Ign speech, he was painfully silent on
one of the most notable achieve
ments Of the present administration
the seating oG Senator Truman H.
Newberry in a purchased seat. Nor
did the vice president refer to the
fact that during the long drawn
out and bitter controversy over the
Newberry case he remained silent.
Although the presiding officer of the
senate, neither by word nor act did
he attempt to keep the senate uncon-
Senator Newberry His silence nat
urally created remarks here at the
capital, and doubtless at home, be-
cause Mr.. Coolidge entered politics
as reformer and a purifying agent.
Still a public official who can see IAN
almost incredible achievement in
economy" through the constant in
crease of the ordinary expenses Of the
government ought to be able to con-
strue the seating of Newberry as
triumph for the force OF civic purity
and righteousness.
The hypocricy of the republican
senator's with reference to their re- /
-pective attitudes on the treaty of
Versailles and the four power treaty
was most effectively exposed by Sen
ltor Key Pittman of Nevada in dis
,ussion of the supplementary four
power treaty

Unfortunately, the almost incred-

which Vice President Coolidge re-
ferred in his Brooklyn speech had no
personal application; he was talk
ing of the paper 1ayings of the
Harding administration which makes
the almost incredible achievement
in economy" altogether incredible,
principally because there was no
such achievement.
To begin with, Mr.. Coolidge states
that the appropriations prior to the
war were little over $1,000, 000, 600:
for the last fiscal year (1921)
$5,OOO,OOO,OOO; for the present
fiscal year (estimated) $4,000, 00O,-

by deducting items of permanent ex-
penditure created by the war the
present cost of running the govern
ment would not exceed the pre4war
cost by more than two or three
hundred million dollars.
In these spurious partisan claims
of economy between 1921 and 1928
no account ever taken of the fact
that in 1921 $730,711,669 were ex-
pended ON the railroads, whereas no
amount is appropriated for this pur-
pose for 1928. Nor do the claimants
ever refer to the fact that through
reductions made in going from war
to a peace basis the democrats turned
back into the treasury over $1,000
100000 of war appropriations in
1919.
With reference to Mr.. Cooldge's
clam that by eliminating fixed ex-
penditures created by the war the
ordinary expenses of the government
will only be two or three hundred
million dollars more in 1923 than
under pre-war conditions, the Of
fetal figures of 1916 compared with
the estimates for 1923 show nearly
four times as much as stated by Mr..
Coolidge. Here are the figures:
President Harding's budget esti
mate for 1928 is $3,S5S, 600, 600.
From this is to be deducted $685.
100000 interest ON the war debt;
$500, 100000 for the veterans bur-
eau, and 1881, 100000 for the sinking
fund, amounting to $1,S56, 100000.
This shows that the administration |
proposes to appropriate $3.50, 900 |
more in 1923--nearly one billion
more-than was appropriated in the
pre-war year of 1916. Attention is
also called to the fact that the pres
ident's budget estimates for 1928 are
SS7017,410 more than congress ap-
propriated for 1922.
Vice President Coolidge's statement
is mere repition of the bombastic
claims made by Representative Fess
of Ohio, whose idea of a stupenduous
of the administration is
the passage of bills for bridges, dams
and dykes.
With these facts and figures easily
available, Vice President Coolidge
