LUMBER In MEXICO
Timber Resources Estimated at Many
Billion Feet

A brief statement of the vast guam

woods to be found in Mexico is con
tanned in the last report of TIE pub
Lefty department OF the Secretary OF
Foreign Relations of Mexico given out
at the consuls office here. Lack OF
transportation has delayed develop
ment Of her lumber resources in some
sections the report says. In one see
ton of the state of Durango there is
one tract estimated TO contain oy9
ten billion feet of pine lumber. An
other. tract in the same state has
been shown by investigation to rave
about five and half billion feet OF
common pine ready for cutting.
One half of the mahogany consumed
in the United States comes from Next
co, according to this report. Cedar is
found in large quantities in all parts
Of the country, and ebony is produced
in Tamaulipas, Guerrero. Hidalgc
and Yucatan. Aloe wood, oak, walnut
ironwOod and orange wood are like
wise found in some regions of the
country.
Much of the Durango timber lands
can be purchased at a very low price
1t is claimed. Returns will depend
upon cost of production and the in
come that can be made after carrying
the lumber to market.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C., Aug. 4.-Pres-
ident Coolidge already sees the legis-
lative rocks that lie ahead of him in
his announced purpose of forwarding
wherever possible the policies of the
preceding administration.
President Coolidge knows that he
has the same senatorial situation to
deal with that confronted president
Harding. If anything, he knows the
Senate situation better than Mr.. Hard
ing did. for Mr.. Coolidge has had to
sit in the Senate the past two years
and has had to listen to the cloak room
declarations of defiance to anything
that might emanate from the White
House.
For this reason it would seem that
those advocates Of a more liberal par
ticipating foreign policy on the part
of The United States who have gath
cred hope from n perusal of Mr.. Cool
idge's friendly utterances concerning
the League of Nations and the entry
of this country into the world court,
are reckoning without the Senate
hosts who have shown in the past
their ability to play havoc with any
foreign policy which does not come w
TO their own particular requirements.
Small Chance for Change.
II the Senate was determined to
veto Americas entry into the world
court despite Mr.. Harding's state
ment that he was unalterably opposed
10 the League of Nations, with no de-
sire to enter it "by the side door, the
back door or the cellar door" there
is small chance Of the proposals being
better received by a man whose publit
utterances have been anything but
friendly TO the league.
That Mr.. Coolidge will submit the
world court question to the Senate
soon after it convenes in December Is.
of course, accepted here. The world
court was the outstanding of the
Harding administration in its later
days.
The President died with a plea for
the court but few moments from his
lips.
If he left n single lighted otrch &c
be caught up and borne ON high 5y
his successor it was the duty OF
America TO enter the court and take
up her share of the world burdens.
To Mr.. Harding the world court plar
was the fulfillment of the promises
he made during the campaign that he
would place the United States in al
association of nations.
The court more nearly met his ideas
of an association than did the league.
He characterized the court as thing
of law. the league as n thing of war
Harding Sensed Approval.
PROFESSIONALLY if he could have left
4 single direction TO his successor il
would have been to press for the worll
court until all hope of success in the
Senate was gone. When he left Wash
ingtOn Mr.. Harding said that he
would content with presenting the
case of the world court to the peop.C
but would not attempt to force II
through the Senate.
As the trip proceeded, however, aud
rs he saw the enthusiasm with whicn
the court plan was everywhere weI-
coined. Mr.. Harding became stronge'
and stronger in his belief in the plan
and had determined to fight it out
with the Senate as he had never
fought before.
Mr. Harding had decided that, ever

promising stand for duty, his devout
reverence and his essential justice.
ITO Calvin Coolidge, God is the
father and all men are brothers.
1T is this attitude that he an.
proaches the responsibilities of Presi
dent" Mr.. Pierce declared shortly
after returning from the temporary
White House at the Willard hotel
where he had been summoned by the
President.
Calvin Coolidge is devoutly relig.
ious, yet not as other men are.
He never misses Sunday at
church.
yet he has never Joined the
church.
ITO my knowledge Mr.. Coolidge
has as steadfastly refused to join the
church as he has resisted every over
ture to join fraternal organizations.
"Mr. Coolidge believes with us
Congregationalists in freedom of be-
lief.
HE will fight as much for freedom
of belief for Catholic, Jew or a
Hindu, as he would for his own right
to believe.
at is his essential justice, Mr..
Coolidge is a man who, once having
resolved all the elements of a situa.
ton into an application for principle,
acts inexorably.
1.-The effect on himself is never
considered.
IL believe am right in saying that
Mr.. Coolidge takes the Presidency at
a most, difficult time.
Firm Believer In Right.
"Mr. Coolidge is a man who be-
lieves that the right wins out and
that the wrong never does.
He believes that destiny is God.
"In his remarks upon hearing that
President Harding was dead, he de-
clared 1 am confident that God will
guide the destinies of the nation
Supported by that belief, with a
reverently prayerful nature, and an
abiding faith, Mr.. Coolidge takes the
Presidency, strong man, in whom
the nation may place its confidence. 1"
