Reasonable Profit

Today he is one OF our most fore

of the greatest organizations that
modern industry has ever known.
lie has proven himself one Of the
greatest manufactures we have ever
known, rs owner of IA small railroad
he has proved to be one of our
greatest managers: and today he is
considering one of the greatest un-
dertakines ever considered by :,
single individual. Ills men are bet

His success may be attributed TO
fast turnover OF his product. Good

1t is said that this man first got
his idea OF fast turnover while run

he could specialize in one or two
dishes by selling at smaller margin
of profit and with faster turnover.

fame and an enormous turnover

there were one who called for other
dishes, hundreds called for these

small, hut SO many dishes OF them
were sold that the days profit ON

MEXICO GETS 1900
AMERICAN PORKERS

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1l.-More
than $4,000 American pigs for
breeding purposes have entered
Mexico within the last few days. It
is understood that the government
is behind this sudden activity in the
movement Of American pigs Of the
better classes. These are to be sold
to breeders at as low prices as pos
sible.
For the last year the production
of native pork has steadily de-
clined. This is due 10 the fact that
wages have increased for the mid
die and lower classes. and this has
enabled them to become heavier
purchasers Of meat. Pork being
slightly cheaper than other meats.
II has been purchased In ever In
creasing quantities. and the ranches,
which suffered much during the
revolution, have been steadily de-
pleted to supply the demand Tor
pork in the capital and the larger
cities.

OIL INDUSTRY ].
BRINGS ACTIVITY

Drilling Puts Mining in
Second Place at
Present.

= MEXICO CITY. Feb. 1.-THE
fever for exploiting oil lands has
fairly taken possession Of Mexico.
Government engineers have been
exploiting parts Of the country
heretofore considered altogether
out OF the oil zones, and powerful
oil companies. have been doing the
same thing.
Indications of oil have been found
from Lower California to Tabasco.
The oil business has assumed
phases similar to that of mining
In the latter days Of the Diaz
regime. when Il was believed that
paying ore could be found wher-
ever there was q rocky hill or q
mountain range.
Largely increased shipments Nof
well-driliing machinery are enter
ing the republic, not only from the
United States. but also from Eu-
ropean countries. Machinery that

tors have crossed the international
line into the Peten district. Guate-

The activity in oil circles At the
other extreme Of the republic IL
notable in the states of Nuevo Leon
and Chihuahua Prospecting geol-
ogists have reported there 10 no
doubt that the oil neld Of Okias
homa extends into MEXICO. and
the Indications are that the de-
posits Of oil are greater south than
they are north Of the international
boundary line. just as the Texas
belt increases in. richness at Its
southern extreme, In eastern Mex
leo.
Oil wells are being drilled near
Lampazos and Los Aldamas, In
Nuevo Leon, and near Columbus
and Escalon, chihuahua. Prepare
tons are being made to exploit
several other sections Of these
states within the next few months.
In the meantime large tracts Of
prospective oil lands have been
taken UP in Northern Mexico. and
others are being acquired daily. This
has caused a notable rise in land
values wherever the oil men have
appeared.

view them, whether from the angle
Of national interest or international
policy. 1t. represented information

where three railways, serving ter

unnecessary competition, not be-

Such a course would not affect

directors rightly or wrongly be-
lieved that there was not enough
for all and that only by competi-
ton could adequate traffic be Sc
cured and thus at the expense OF
the others. And that, after all is
tee situation in Europe. Therefore.
IL Is not safe to reckon that be-
cause Washington succeeded, the
same common sense can be applied
elsewhere, should nave been ap-
piled at Paris. 1t can only sue
coed where self-interest in nations
concerned obviously and in the
view of each nation recognizes the
fact. sees the profit.
Wherever. in Washington, the
self-interest of the nations repre-
scented ran in parallel courses, we
had q successful termination to the
negotiations. Wherever self-inter-
est diverged, we came to an abrupt
stop. To be sure we Americans re-
garded the Emergencies as evil

fortunate blindness. Occasionally,
as in the case of shshtung. delays

In washington the three naval
powers gave up weapons they did

collision. In doing this they dis
played common sense but they did
not reconcile other nations having
other interests to their own view
nor did they, when their own views
varied, reach any. real compromise.
Thus the. Washington conferences
did not promote peace in the world.
IL only registered that desire for
peace which already, existed. To
DO this was an exceedingly useful
thing, but something far different
from, the notion generally held as
to the present and future meaning

limitation of armament. with the
question Of finance serving as a
further powerful incentive. What
triumphed at Washington was not
idealism but common sense con-
cerned with the most material ques-
tions and that, am confident, will
be Its enduring claim to remem-
brance. All international relations
are necessarily dominated by ma
terial interests, all international
conferences have more the char
acter Of bargain than spirituality
and without exception the more
equal the bargain, the more
enduring have been the results.
Europe Lacks Csnmen Sense.
II the other great powers were as
detached in their homeiands as the
United States and Great Britain. IL
they were islands or remote con-
tinents-it would be a relatively
simple matter to establish peace on
the basis of the Washington con-
ference, provided all were equally
capable of self defense. But the
thing would be a business trans
action founded on the sense of Sc
curity which each nation felt SO
far as its own safety was con-
cerned.
The trouble is that there is no
common sense in Continental Eu-
rope-that is no community in the
same sense. There IL IAN incredible
amount of idealism, at least as
much as in the United States or
Great Britain. but there is no way
of co-ordinating common sense, with
idealism. The curse of Europe lies
In the fact that there is no reason
able adjustment, equally appealing
to all concerned. Every treaty ever
made affecting Continental Europe
bears testimony to this fact, from
Westphalfa to Versailles. Short of
a United States of Europe more
over there is no obvious solution.
Since Rome Sell. there has been no
long continued peace-and such
peach as there has been has been

exhaustion than to actual appease-
ment. . Fs

duce her army, because for her the
army had a real value, we had no
need of any army, no German
neighbor and no reparations prob
lem-so we could advocate reduc-
ton. But the French army sur
vived our criticism and the British
assault. Japan still believes in the
German idea, which she is applying
to the mainland of Asia, but she did
not want to risk certain dangers

the United. States, SO she retires

cession and refusal to concede show
calculation not the presence Of q
new spirit.
Hughes shared Idealism.
There were moments in the. Wash
ington conference and my readers
will remember called attention to
several at the time when II seemed
as II Mr.. Hughes would be wrecked
where Mr.. Wilson had been. And
on each occasion the real peril
grew out of the apparent convic-
tion on his part that there was a
new spirit in the world not a new
estimate of existing conditions. Mr..
Wilson assumed that European MS
tions were ready to lay aside old
jealousies and rlvalries and selfish
estimates of national interests and
each such assumption led to q dis
agreeable awakening. MT. Hughes
was similarly involved in. the An
gio-French dispute here, which was
fought over the submarine, but
really involved all the conflicting
policies In Europe. Similar assump-
tons in the matter of Japanese
policy in Siberia and China led to
similar dangers and sdisihusion-
ments. Z.
Beyond all else the American
people ought to- see that limited
disarmament has not affected the
dangers of future conflict, but the
desire to avoid future conflict, as
between Japan. the United States
and Great Britain has LED to the

TO say that there was no improve

than any similar endeavor in ali
the centuries which preceded. And
In Washington we were seeking
with some success-to get Chi
nese lands back to China, where at
Berlin all the great powers were
frankly looking for a slice of Tur-
key-and getting it in most in
stances.
But historically, is II not pos
sible that later generations will
say OF the Washington conference
that 1t was natural concomitant
OF a world well-nigh ruined by war
and incapable of bearing at the
moment the burdens of armament
which no immediate clash of pol
fcies made necessary? Nobody
could AFFORD battleships so every
body combined to limit them and
the naval experts helped the thing
oy saytng-in the language of Ad-
miral Sims, that these same battle-
ships were not worth powder to
blow them to -'
BY contrast everyone believed in
submarines, except the British, for
whom they were an obvious men,

abolished altogether. And every
one could afford submarines, SO we

true OF Paris. But II you analyze
