The UnWise Tactics of Mexico
(Public Ledger

AS a sovereign state Mexico had
the right to adopt her Constitution
of 1917 She has also the right to de-
prive aliens or her own citizens of
the title to and the enjoyment of
property in Mexico.
In doing this she need not reim-
burse Mexican citizens unless she is
so minded. That is Mexicos own
business.
She may not seize the property OF
aliens in Mexico unless she reim-
burses the holders. Such seizures
are net solely the business of Mexico.
The usageS of civilization, the admit
ted rights of property and the bind
ing power of contracts all demand
PREPARATION for any such injuries done.
AS a sovereign state and under her
Constitution. Mexico may expel re-
ligious workers and decree that her
clergy shall be a native-born and a
Mexican clergy. She can insist that
Mexican citizens only may act as
teachers in her schools.
If this be done without discrimi-
nation between the nationals of one
country and those of another, or be-
tween the members of one group and
those of another, and If the property
of these nationals and groups that
may be seized is paid for. Mexico is
in a position legally to excuse her
acts.
These acts may violate precedent.
They may outrage the instincts and
feelings of great masses Of humanity
outside Mexico. but they are the acts
of a sovereign state. They will be
and are defended as the domestic
concerns OF the people Of Mexico.
The Mexican Government will say
there has been a due and reasonable
warning of its intentions. The
Mexican Constitution has been in eff
feet for more than eight years. Re-
ligious groups in Mexico have gone
along under the shadow of those
powers written into the organic law
of the republic. Investors and prop
erty holders have known the exact
situation with respect to a probable
invasion of rights granted to them
prior to 1917.
Whatever the legality of the Next
can position, it's wisdom may be
questioned. Mexico must live in the
world. She cannot alter the map of
the Northern Hemisphere. and she
must exist side by side with the
Mexico and her people to maintain
sound and friendly relations with her
neighbor across the Rio Grande.
Since the Madero revolt against
Diaz. INSTRUMENTATION relations
have not been altogether happy. A
series of revolutions brought them to
the breaking point several times.
Since the World War the Mexican
attitude toward property. has ag-
gravated the situation. Mexican
leadership has shown communistic
streak. American investments in
Mexico are large. These We're threat
ened by actual or virtual confiscation
under the celebrated Article XVII
of Mexico's Constitution.
This threat delayed Mexican rec
ognition for years and stiIf'exists. 1t
is now the subject of further negotia-
tons between Washington and the
City of Mexico.
INSTRUMENTATION relations could
be happier than they are now. They
will inevitably he aggravated by the
expulsion of religious workers from
Mexico and irritated by the closing of

I Rabbit
e by David Cory

Down the Winding Trail under the

Rabbit, clipperty clip, lipperty lip,
anxious to reach the dear Old
Bramble Patch to tell Lady Love. his
pretty bunny mother all the wonder
full things that the sap makes in tree
and plant, which Professor Jim Grow
had explained to him.
Mother, mother!" he shouted. as
he hoped UP on the back porch, even
before he opened the kitchen door,
my rubber boots are made out of

trees"

Cousin Cottontail, who was visiting
the bunny boys mother that after
noon, who told you that?"

the little rabbit. And he said that
there are medicine plants"
castor oil is obtained from the
seeds of large plant" laughed Lady
Love. This, and various other medi-
cines, are made from sap"
Dear, oh dear" sighed the bunny
boy, Il thought I'd surprise you. But
YOU know 1t already" and he put his
arms about his pretty mothers neck
and kissed her. "You smell so
sweet" he added. twinkling his pink
nose.
"The perfume you like so well
comes from a plant factory" laughed
Lady Love. MANY plants are per-
fume factories. The perfumes are
made most often in the flowers, but
they are sometimes made in leaves
and other parts. You know how
fragrant are the leaves Of our geran-
iums in the window-box. Even wood
Is sometimes fragrant. Sandal
wood is very much So"
Just then there came a tip, tap
tipperty tap on the windowpane. and
there stood Professor Jim Crow on
the sill.
"Come in," said Lady Love, lifting
the sash, and over to the high backed
chair in the corner f1uttered the wise
old bird. Then setting down his
Wisdom Book. which he always car
ried with him, he winked at the little
| rabbit. Did you remember to tell
your mother what explained to

Yes, 1 did-that is. began to tell

Editorial Comment
Maine Endowment Fund

An endowment for the State or
Maine is the novel suggestion made
by some of the leading business men
to Arthur G.. Staples of the Lewiston
Journal and enthusiastically endors-
ed by him. 1t is meeting with much
favor wherever discussed and already
steps are being taken to give 1t
permanent form.
The plan, as roughly blocked out
so far, is to have a board of trustees
appointed of such a character as to
merit complete confidence. This
board would be empowered to re-
ceive gifts of money. establish fund
and use the income for any purpose
that would advance the interests of
the state. On the board would be
representatives of natives of the
state now living elsewhere and of
the leading interests inside the state.
Work of the Foundation. or what
ever it. might be called. would be de-
voted to purposes not now backed by
organized effort. When necessary
existing organizations might also be
aided. the idea being to help any nj
terest in need of help and to advance
the general interests of all.
