What Next?

In one of our lighter moments we
commented on the fact that President
Obregon of Mexico had issued a de-
cree exempting from export duties
insects of commercial value" Our
good friend, the Weekly News Bulle-
tin of the American Chamber of Com
merce, Mexico City, reprints our OBJ
servations on insects as international
commerce and says:
Mexico sells, although in very small
quantities, to the United States, bees,
silkworms, cochineal insects and
dried flies.
We think that this should be called
to the attention of congress while the
tariff bill is being framed. From per-
sonal observations and from statistics
on fly swatting we have become con-
vinced that there are enough 100 per
:ent American flies to supply the do
mestic market. We do not see an
reason for allowing peon flies Of Mex
leo to capture the trade on this side
of the Rio Grande.-The Nations
