PUTTING AMERICA FIRST.

European commentators on American affairs ap-
pear to find it difficult to understand why theic
views on various public questions do not meet with
more ready acceptance in this country This may
be attributed in part to their lack Of knowledge

They seem to consider it inconsistent the
part Of the United States to hold aloof from the
league of nations despite the fact that the covenant
OF that combine is in conflict with certain provi-
SONS of our constitution.
In this respect European advisers are a

ENTER, THE BEEFsTEAK.

According to a report of the National Institute
of Progressive farming made public recently, the
great American beefsteak is its way back to the
menu of the average American citizen. The reason
assigned is that the deflation Of the grain market
has made it profitable to market feed grains via
the beef market.
The survey made by the institute covered n
period of one month and information obtained
from four leading purebred cattle associations, the
leading livestock markets and 1900 farm
implement dealers.
1.-THE Investigations" the report said. Shows a
marked increase in the sale of bulls to farmers and
range cattle growers. This means increased herds.
Herds were terribly depleted during the initiation
period and there is still shortage, but the move
ment back to normal is now in full swing As pro-
duction increases so will consumption and the
rehabilitation Of all industry will be that much ad-
vanced."
The report states that optimism has returned to
the farmer. He sees profit In this seasons

ments and using them. "our hog survey" the re-
port adds indicated that; the beef survey confirms
it and our sheep survey. now in progress will
clinch it."
1.-THE survey indicates a profitable market FOR
beef for at least eighteen months longer the report
concludes land with honest retailing of meats the
American working man should have his beef on the
table at least once day. of yore 1t will not be
the growers fault if he cannot afford it. England
has grown to greatness on beef; so has the United
States The return of the steak and the roast to
the table is of international importance"
This rosy report of Improvement in the cattle In
dusry will be good news to New Mexico. 1t is true
that cattlemen here handicapped by high taxes
and in many sections of the state there has not
been sufficient rainfall to produce sufficient grass
for the herds but with the demand for beef increas-
ing the cattlemen in the state are bound to derive
some benefit therefrom.

STATE UNIFORMS FOR AMBASSADORS

OF all the Americans who are or have been in
Europe this year. aside from Peggy Joyce and Jack
Dempsey. the most discussed is George Harvey,
ambassador to Great Britain. He crashed into
the chiefly by wearing knee pants Ban
quets give an ambassador enough chance to ruin
himself, but Mary's wedding was what really put
Mr.. Harvey on the map. When his fellow coun-
trymen heard that he was arrayed as little Lord
Fauntleroy they started for Bunker Hill again.
Mr. Harvey has decided that it is never again
for him, but the for his decision is poor
His calves too thin. We cannot rely always
upon sending spindleshanked ambassador to
Great Britain and even il Mr.. Harvey thought
we'll of himself below the knees that wouldn't
keep the American foreign service from being ri

constantly.
1t is not necessary for absurdity to come from
the matter OF dress. The absurdity arises because
an American at a foreign state function has no
standard Of his own country to guide him. An Arab
chief, an Abyssinian envoy. an East Indian ruler
or Malay datu would wear the ceremonial garb

quires them to appear ceremonally. and the tailor
should consider that the American diplomatic
