Better Relations with Mexico.



The most cheering that has from
Mexico since Oregon became President is the
nouncemen that he has approved the agreement made
ION behalf of the Mexican Government by Senior de
la Huerta, Minister of Finance, with the Interna-
rtoinal Committee of Bankers, whose delegates
ferred with the Minister here last June. The agree
ment to the Mexican Congress- which meets
lin September, but little doubt is entertained of
ratification by that body. President Obregon's ap-
proval came somewhat than had been expected
He has said that he would study the agreement on
his vacation This delay seemed unnecessary De la
Huerta, who, according report, had a conference
with Obregon in which he convinced the President
sof the Importance of immediate action.
Mexicos approval of this agreement upon the
thorny question of her external debt does much
.han clear her path of a formidable obstacle to
Ibeter relations with the United States. 1t is es-
pecially significant establishing a basis of good
faith in her dealings with other nations The longer
her international obligations hung fire the easier it
was for advocates drastic policy toward Mexico
to argue that any other policy fcredoomed to
failure If the Mexican Congress backs up Obre-
son, as is likely, it will not be possible for trouble
makers to use Mexico's external debt as text for
fiery speeches that only increase the Embarrassment
under which the relations between Washington and
Mexico City have been laboring By her President
Mexico has recognized her obligations and has agreed
o method of meeting them. Here is an act of good
faith that may we'll serve the beginning of full
restoration of normal relations between Obregon's
Government and own.
What remains is equally satisfactory under
standing with reference Ito the famous Article 81
lof the Mexican Constitution. More than once Obregon
has declared that it would not be construed retro
actively, put the Mexican Government has thus far
failed to put this declaration a form having legal
validity. Our Government, which at first was in
clined to insist upon treaty, has sgnifed its in
difference to the form in which the declaration is
made provided that it has the force OF law and that
it is clear in its intent that future misunder.
standings this point rendered impossible This
gives Mexico her opportunity. The ingenuity that
finally solved the complicated problem of her
debt should be turned upon the task of solving
Ithe problem of Article 27 The fnancers of the two
countries have proved that where there's a will
there's way. 1t is now the turn of their statesmen
| to complete the demonstration by an agreement that
Ew1ll remove the last obstacle good relations be-
tween the two Governments

600 GOO cords three times the present con-
sumption requirements in the United States.
The annual cut in the United States is
more than three times the annual growth
since conservation and scientific forestry are
practiced only in a limited way. The United
States is the largest consumer of news print
in the world and since 1910 it has been a
net importer of news print. News print
cousunptou in 1913 was somewhat less than
/ 500 600 tons. and in 1921 it Appropriated
. 900. 000 tons. In 1922, production of news
print in the United States will be about
1900 IONS.
Canada is by far the principal source OF
supply of news print not manufactured in
the United States. American capital has
gone extensively into the development of
news print plants near the sources of sup
plies of pulp wood in Canada. The rapid
pansicn of The industry in Canada has facili-
tated the installation there of improved
hydroelectrc machinery, capable of turning
out 900 feet of news print per minute
Such improved equipment renders obsolete
many of the older and less efficient plants in
the United States, which can be operated
profitably only when there is a strong de-
mand for news print. Prior to the war i'm
ports of news print from Canada averaged
about $4,000 tons. By 1920 they had
increased to $40 600 tons and in 1921 totaled
$1,000 tons.
The development of the wood pulp and
news print industry in North America,
which now produces more news print than
all the rest of the world, has been
immense scale and perhaps with more regard
for immediate demands than for healthy
future growth. In consequence of the par
tial exhaustion of raw materials, the in
dustry in the United States has, for some
years, been practically stationary. while in
Canada abundant timber resources have ia
cilitated rapid development. In both
tries, the industry in the past has developed
the exploitation of virgin resources. For
its establishment on a more permanent basis
in the future, policy of conservation would
seem to be necessary.

FUTURE OF AMERICAN NEWS PRINT
INDUSTRY

The future OF the print industry in Il
United States depends in good on replens
ing depleted pulp wood areas the mills accor
ing to the National Bank of Commerce in New Yor
Production of print has been at a standst
fer some years and the economic effect of having
chip raw material over long distances is beginning
be felt The bank says in it's Commerce Monthly:
In the where the principal mills are
located, ii has been estimated that present
supplies of pulp wood will be exhausted
within twenty or thirty years. although by
the extensive practice of reforestation the
cut-over areas near the mills could within
30 CT 40 years be made to yield more than
the present consumption requirements Of the
United States.
Already the pulp and paper mills of some
states are importing mere than half of their
supply of material. While considerable
quantities of pulp wood imported into
the United States from adjacent freehold
lands OF Canada, the news print manufactur-
ing industry in the United States is be-
ginning to feel the economic effect of hay-
ing to ship raw material long distances.
More than eleven and quarter billion
copies CT daily newspapers are now printed
annually in the United States The gravity
Of the position of the news print industry in
the United States in relation pulp wood
supplies is emphasized by the fact that the
production OF news print in the United States
for some years has been practically at
standctil while production in Canada has
trebled. Only two news print plants have
been established in the United States since
1909.
There are supplies CT pulp wood in the
United States and its possessions adequate to
satisfy the requirements of the news print
industry for years TO come. These supplies,
however, in the western states and in
Alaska while 80 per cent of the news print
mills of the United States are in the eastern
states which are also the main consuming
centers. 1t IS mpracticable to ship pulp
wood long distance since transportation
costs rapidly diminish the margin OF profits
Apparently the most feasible plan for pro-
tecting the source of material for the
print industry established in the east
ern and lake states is to adopt policy
eimilar TO that of many European countries
in reforesting cu-over and waste areas and
conserving present supply More than co.
