BUSINESS BOOM SEEN FOR
MEXICO BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

renewed scale. Great development
along new lines is expected. Mexico
has many rushing rivers which will
be harnessed with h~ydro-electric
power plants to work new mines and
mills. New cattle will be put on the
broad ranges. The great cotton
plantations and farms will be worked
and their products sent to market.
In the last year American rubber
companies have become much inter-
ested in Central American rubber
production. Chiapas, the southern
most state of Mexico, has an ideal
climate for the production of rubber
and it Is expected that there will be
considerable exploitation along this
line there,
Several new railways have been
projected and will be built, with the
aid of American capital. These lines
Will open up whole new areas, for
development, producing fresh wealth
both for Mexicans and for the Amer
lean participants.
One of the first steps which it is
expected the Government of Mexico
will take is the floating of a loan in
the United States. Probably about
$500, 100000 will be sought. These
bonds will be u~nderwritten by Amer
lean banks and then sold to the pub
lie. This money will be Used by
Mexico in rehabilitating her internal
affairs and in effecting many i'm
provements. The terms of the treaty
doubtless will provide for the ade-
quate policing of the country for the
protection of foreigners and con-
siderable sums necessarily will be
spent on this,
MeXieo's finances IRE in excellent
shape. Her per capita debt is one
OF the smallest In the world. With
a tranquil country American bank
ers would regard Mexicap bonds as
gilt-edged investments.
The reason that Mexico needs out
side capital and industrial genius to
develop her great natural resources
Is that a large proportion of her pop
ulation consists of native Yaqui or
half breed Indians. While many of
these make good farmers and labor
ers under competent direction, they
lack the energy and mechanical gen.
ius to initiate and carry out large en-
terprises. This energy and genius
will be furnished by Americans to a
large extent and to an additional ex-
tent and to ar additional extent by
British and French companies.
The commissioners are learning
that Mexico is more tranquil today
than it has been for years and that,
fortified with American recognition
it will be a rich region where a vast
amount of business can be carried
on.

NJ. G. n.
A. Toward the close of the 18th
century, furniture makers designed
pieces which might have a double
or triple use. This was called har-
iequln furniture. Beds of today that
are transformed into mantels or
pianos, tables which become dress
ems, chairs that are stepladders are
surely examples of harlequin style.
Q. Why are whales not considered
fish? +. c. S.
A, Whales probably evolved from
land animals. They have vestiges
O fhind legs; they suckle their young
which are almost invariably born
one at a time; they have tufts of
hair about the~snout; Jaws and skin;
they breathe air as land animals do
instead of like fishes.

WASHINGTON, June 20. = The
joint commission of special diplo-
matte representatives of the United
States and Mexico is expected to
complete it's work within a week or
two. On the basis of tile report
brought in, a treaty will be drawn
by the State Department of the
United States and the Mexican For
eign Office which will provide foE'
the recognition by this Government
of the Obregoh government in Mex
leo,
This settlement is expected to be
the signal for a boom of tremendous
proportions in Mexico. Observers
familiar with the circumstances and
with the plans of Americans interest
ed in the southern republic, declare
that the recognition will bring about
a movement somewhat comparable
to the gold rush to California in
1S49. The big difference will be that
while the California gold rush was
an exodus of individual adventures,
the Mexican rush will be one of cor
porations.
For more than a decade industrial
development of all kinds has been
practically suspended in Mexico.
Ever since the fall of the government
of old Porfirio DiaZ who was dictator
of Mexico for SO long, business has
been almost at a standstill. Disturbed
political conditions have discouraged
foreigners from developing their
properties and the violence of ban
dts has made the country a danger
GUS field for new enterprises.
A vast amount of American capt.
tai is invested in Mexico and for
about fifteen years it has been prac-
tically idle. This investment is held
by great corporations chiefly, but
they number among their stoekhold-
eTs thousands of individual Ameri-
cans. Silver mines, gold mines, cop
per mines, oil wells, ehicle planta-
tons, rubber and coffee plantations,
cattle ranches and many other kinds
of industrial enterprises owned in
whole or in part by these American
corporations. ,
Efforts to work these industries
during the long years of political tur-
%bulanee, of banditry and several dip
lomatic relations have been dis
oourAging. Americans sent there to
work have been robbed, injured and
even killed. The Mexican labor avail
able has been poor and terrorized.
The result has been that little has
been done.

Titles Are Uncertain

Another element which has sus-
pended development has been the
uncertainty of the title to lands and
industrial properties claimed by
Americans because of the action of
the Mexican Government in inter-
preting the Mexican law. 1t has been
claimed that many American COM
panies have no right to their prop
critics, particularly in the oil fields.
Article 81 of the Mexican Constitu-
ton, which has been relied upon by
the Mexican officials to invalidate
the American titles, has been the
principal bone of contention.
1t is anticipated that John Barton
Payne and Charles B.. Warren, the
American treaty commissioners now
working on the settlement, will
straighten out these difficulties. In
deed, there will be no treaty unless
they are Strengthened out, but re-
ports from the commission Indicate
that compromises are being arrived
at which will settle these questions.
A general settlement and the con-
clusion of a treaty of commerce and
amity, entailing official recognition
by the United States of the Oregon
government will bring all these ills
10 an emu. once more the great and
wealthy country of Mexico will be
thrown open To the world. The re-
suit almost certainly will be the in
rush of new floods OF American capt.
tai to rehabilitate the old mines and
oil fields and plantations.
Foreigners lives and properties
will be protected under the new re-
gime and business will be resumed
as it was in-the old days. Work will
be given thousands of Mexicans at
good wages and dividends will again
begin to come out of that country.
The con merce between the United
States and Mexico is expected tore
vive on a large scale. An American
Ambassador will be established at
Mexico City and a Mexican Ambassa-
dor will join the diplomatic corps al
Washington.

WHAT is INDIAN SUMMER?

Indian summer, according to the
Yakima Herald, is the name of a
period of mild and pleasant wealth
er which generally occurs toward
the end of autumn. 1t is not easy
to account for the origin of the
term. The principal characters
tics of the season which it de-
scribes are hazmess, smokmess
and high temperatures. Some eX-
plantations of the origin of the
term are: That the Indians pre-
dicted such spells of weather; that
the smokiGcss was produced by
Indian fires; that this was the
last season of Indian attacks on
settlements; that the season par
took of the Indian character OF de-
ceptiveness; that the name was
given because one of the seasons
of East India was similar in char
acter. The term Indian summer
first made its appearance in the
last decade of the 18th century.
During the next decade the term
was second Summer. This indi-
Gates that the spell of weather
known by this name was not gen
orally noticed before 1900. The
term became established about 20
years after its first appearance,
which was in western Pennsyl-
vania. "Squaw winter was a
name for the spell of cold weather
preceding the Indian summer.

so sunny and the moon light is so

thrush and the wren--and the

harmonic with singing birds and
the soothing breezes from the
