Married Women

To the Editor Of The Times:
In the face Of the unern-

try, and the further reduc-
ton in the Government rolls

following justicef
A woman. whose husband

ployed by the War Depart
ment a. . clerk. She has
been earning 81, 400 basic
salary for some time-and
now At the very time when
widows with children to sup
port, and girls with no
other means of livelihood
are being dismissed, this
woman, who has a husband
earning a good salary. re-
calves an increase Of 500,
making her a total salary Of
Sl,740 with the bonus.
And as II that were not
enough, she brass that she
won't be dismissed - that
she is the most efficient
clerk In the department,
She also remarks In talking
Of the reduction. Let the
single girls be dismissed, or
else cut them down to 81 900,
In order that We married
women can remain"
There are several other
married women In the same
department, whose husbands
are earning above the aver
age salary. Should these
women be retained in the
Government In order that
they may buy baby grand
pianos, limousines, and fur
coats, and some poor girls
who have no one to support
them, be dismissed? Is this
justice? Well, II Is being
done-and should be stopped
by an act Of Congress. II by

AFR. w. l.. GEORGE, the Eng
MI lish writer on feminine sub
"'> jects, who is said to know
more about women than they
know about themselves, is here on a
visit and has given an interview.
"In the past, when a man mar
ried," said Mr.. George, she expect
ed to get one.wife, one housekeeper,
one nurse, one social organizer and
one mother of his children. That
is all right if one woman could be
all of these things, but we know she
can't. So the expert is developing"
Meaning, no doubt, that some
women are making a speciality of
housekeeping, others of nursing,
others Of being mothers of children,
etc.
I Mr.. George does not explain how
men are going to adapt themselves
to this new development. Will there
come a time when a man selects an
expert to be the mother of his chill
dren, another to run his household,
another to 60 to the theater with
him and still another to hold his
hand or smooth his brow while he is

Or, will men develop, too, and be-

ans existencei
Taking it all in all, we think that

Buy LOWer
California


~ long tongue of land known as
Lower California. Senator
Ashurst once ca..sd it "the vermi-
form appendix Of Mexico, the
Achilles heel of the United States"
As it stands, this tongue of land
{ is practically valueless to Mexico, for
access to it from the Mexican main
land can be had only by an incon-
venient water route or by a tedious
(, and roundabout journey through
United States territory.
But it is a continual menace to
{, the Panama Canal and to the West
coast of the United States, for a
hostile power, operating secretly,
could entrench itself in either one
of two bays-Turtle Bay, 400 miles
south of San Diego, a land-locked
harbor easily mined and defended;
and Magdalena Bay, 500 miles south
of Los Angeles, a protected water
area of $50 square miles, in which
all the navies afloat could find an
chorage.
Turtle Bay is a limited harborage,
but if Magdalena Bay were seized
by an enemy and made a base for
cruisers and submarines, it would
command our American coastwise
shipping from Portland, Seattle,
San Francisco and San Pedro to
the Panama Canal and might make
possible raids at will along our West
Coast.
Japan has repeatedly tried to gain
this strategic foothold, but has never
quite dared, in time Of peace, to
push her intrigues to an issue.
Should tension warrant, however,
Japan would undoubtedly pursue her
historic policy and make short
shrift Of Mexico's undefended neu-
trality. Ownership of this exposed
territory is therefore as fraught
with peril to Mexico as it's lack of
defense is to the United States.
There have been previous sugges-
lions that the United States sound
Mexico. with proposal to purchase
Lower California, but during Mexi-
co.'s revolutionary era there was no
stable government with which to ne
gotiate.
Now, however, that under Presi-
dent Obregon Mexico has an ad-
ministration intelligent, stable,
progressive and not unfriendly, the
project should be revived.
The United States should make
generous offer, not because it wants
the land, but because it wants Sc
curity.
Mexico, which has no use for the
land, could we'll afford to rid itself
of hazard to friendly relations in
exchange either for credit on our
claims against her or for outright
cash, for which she has great need,

that the natural preference Of wideawake Americans
would be to to Washington to attend the annual
gatherings Of leaders in the Industrial business hank

Washington before them, and members OF their
families would join in the demand that, whenever
possible, the conventions assemble here. Washngton
