Washington. July ~ R>-Harry s.
New is writing fins" to a chapter
Of his life that has meant much to
him. for the air mail which he helped
nurture from a nesting to full
fledged flying eagle is being turned
out ION its own"
Experts who ha watched the
progress Of American aircraft build
ing and flying accord the service
headed by the postmaster general
much of the credit for bringing COM
ton. Nine years of quiet pioneering
and trail-blazing by the air mail has
shown the way to many laggard.
TO the spirit of the pilots and the
operating personnel Of the air mail
great deal of the praise must go
for overcoming the difficulties the
science of commercial aviation has
encountered. The post office depart
ment was the first to operate an air
mail service in the United States over
specified routes on regular schedule
and the first service in the world
to operate over lighted airways at
night either on regular schedule or
othrwise. 1t also was first to accom-
plish successfully regular schedule
flying by day and by night In all
kinds of weather, winter or summer.
Development of the American air
mail lines. which now constitute q
network of 1910 miles covering the
entire country and which were de-
scribed as 1.-The envy Of all Europe"
by Charles A. Lindbergh, has not
been an easy problem. The govern
ment through the post office de-
hartment has spent in round figures
about s17,000,O00. The lives of 33
pilots have been sacrificed.
The service has not paid for it.
self but it never was intended it
should.
Postmaster General New points out
that the prime idea was first to sup
ply a highly desirable service and
next to encourage and stimulate the
creation in this country of an in
dustry capable of engaging success
fully in commercial aviation and to
build the planes and equipment ne
cessary to that end. That aim. he
considers, has been accomplished.
In turning over to private enter
prise soon the last of the government
operated air mail lines. that be-
tween New York and Chicago, the
government goes out Of the air mail
transportation business. The first ex-
detrimental line was opened May is,
1918 between New York and Wash
ington, using army airplanes and pi-
lots. It's operation was taken over by
the post office department August
~, 1918. The distance was too short
10 permit any substantial saving of
time and the service was discontin-
ned the next summer.
Air mail service to be of value, 1t
was decided, must be undertaken on
a greater scale and between points
far more distantly separated. A trans
continental service was planned and
put in operation, step by step, dur
ing 1919 and 1920.

gesture to the opponents of the Next
can government.
AS if in preparation for the in
surrection against Gales as early as
last January the government at
Washington placed an embargo upon
arms shipments to the Mexican gov
eminent, an embargo that remains
in force to this day and that the
neutrality of the governments will
continue in operation as long as there
is faint hope of achieving the down.
fall of the present government. If it
is removed it will be only after there
has faded the last wan hope of the
success of the present movement and
then it will be a palpable deception,
an empty gesture of friendliness to
the Mexican government, in order to
pave the way for further intrigue.
There is, of course, another pos
sibility involved in the lifting of the
arms embargo by the United States
and that is the surrender of the Mexi-
can government to Wall Street. This
is an eventuality that is certainty not
to be minimized. The Calles-O Oregon
government, like all petty bourgeois
governments, is vacillating and, in
face of danger of the situation de-
veloping favorably to the workers and
peasants of Mexico can be expected
to make an alliance with the i'm
perialists against the native masses.
The arms embargo policy of the
I,Coolidge-Kellogg outfit is in direct
conflict with the policy carried out by
Charles Evans Hughes who, as secre-
tary of state in 1923, when the then
president, Oregon, faced a revolt led
by Adolfo De La Huerta, permitted
thousands of rifles and a number of
alrplanes to be placed at the disposal
OF the Oregon forces. At that time
the oil spectators and land grabbers
hoped to avoid the enforcement of
the 1917 code that has since been en-
forced by the Gales government. The
Tree export of arms from the United
States at that time proves that Obre-
gon had the support of the American
imperlalists precisely because he did
not take an aggressive stand against
It's ravages in Mexico.
Ito Be Continued.

wiped out. The collapse of the in
surrection assures the election of OBJ
RECON, who will be no less distasteful
to the Wall Street government than
is Gales.
Morrow, as the trusted spokesman
for Wall Street, will now use his Of
flee in an attempt to persuade the
Mexican government that it's one guar
antee of security lies in yielding to
the demands of the imperialists.
Unquestionably every adroit diplo-
matte trick will be used to try to
persuade the Mexican government
that the insurrectionary attempt was
the exploit of certain small, indie
pendent interests and did not meet
with the official sanction of the House
of Morgan. Of course, in carrying
out the policy forced upon it because
of the series of defeats it has met,
the Wall Street gang will feign friend
liness for the Mexican people and the
bitter struggle between the two gov
ernments over the land and oil laws
will be conducted for time in mild
err form. But it will be the same pol
icy carried out with new tactics.
THE real mission of Morrow as an
agent of Wall Street ought to be
apparent to anyone who processes to
understand American imperialist pol
icy. 1t is to be expected that the capt.
talist press will continue to eulogize
the appointment of Morrow and pro-
claim new peaceful era in the de-
velopment of relations with Mexico.
But that labor writer's should harbor
such reactionary illusions is almost
incredible. Yet, the Washington cor
respondent of the Federated Press re-
leases news story regarding the
Morrow conference that can in no way
be distinguished from the dangerous
illusions spread by the capitalist
press. Says the dispatch from Wash
ington:
Dwight Morrow, just resigned
as apartner in Morgan & Co., to
become ambassador to Mexico, had
a conference with Secretary of
State Kellogg in the latter's office
on Oct. 9th. They talked over the
news of the prompt suppression of
the latest revolt against the Gales
regime and discussed Morrow's
plans for winning the goodwill of
the Mexican people.
"That Morrow will be welcomed
in Mexico City because he stands
for new deal in Mexican relations,
is tacitly admitted in the depart
ment. He has declared that the
military power of the United States
should not be used to collect for
eign debts. Mexicans are waiting
to see whether his influence upon
Mexican policy will lead to with
drawal Of American armed forces
from Nicaragua and Haiti"
A more complete misconception of
the motive behind the selection of
Morrow as Mexican ambassador could
hardly be imagined 1t seems that the
Washington correspondent, Laurence
Todd, is so gullible that he actually
takes for granted the alleged resigna-
ton of Morrow from the House Of
Morgan, instead of perceiving that
the public announcement of the resig-
nation was mere gesture to comply
with the custom prohibiting an am
bassador being connected with com
mercial or financial enterprise. Not
even the ordinary liberal, of the Ma
ton or New Republic type, would
credit Morrow with the platonic de-
sire to win the goodwill of the Mexi-
an people, as does Todd.

dwight MORROW, partner of the
= House of Morgan, who has just been
sworn in as ambassador to Mexico,
held conference at the state depart
ment at Washington with President
Coolidge, Secretary of State Kellogg
and former ambassador James R.
Sheffield Immediately after the first
news of the suppression of the revolt
against the Gales government came
over the wires on October 9Th.
What conclusions were arrived at
will be known only as the history of
the next few months unfolds. But
that the conference did not deal with
questions favorable to the people of
Mexico or to the Gales government
that has been consistently reviled by
all the organs of Wall Street, the
oil barons, the land holders and the
other imperialist ravagers. The ma
ture of the conference was sufficient
~ indicated, however, by the publica-
ton of the remarks of the ex-ambas-
sador, James r. Sheffield, who used
the American embassy as headquar-
ters for the forgery plots and other
conspiracies against the Gales gov
crnment. This lackey, who covered
himself with infamy by his base at
tacks against the Gales government,
declared that the Mexican people were
all right but that he had encountered
difficulties with the government in
his capacity as ambassador.
Although the only inkling of what
transpired during the conference, it
is very significant and clearly indi-
Gates that the policy that has been
pursued toward Mexico was one of
trying to incite the Mexicans against
the present government, not in their
own interests but in order to aid the
designs of American Imperialism.
1t was Sheffield who furnished Kel-
logg with the flimsy inventions upon
which the state department officially
intimated that the Mexican govern
ment was fostering "Bolshevist ac-
tivities against us in Central Amer
ica."
This was nothing more nor less
than official public notice to the enc
mics of the Gales government in
Mexico that its elimination would be
favorably received in the United
States.
Obviously an ambassador whose po-
sition had forced him to such extreme
measures in an effort to destroy the
government to which he was sent
could no longer be of service. so he
was removed, as his hostile role was
perfectly clear.
MEANWHILE the Gales government
appeared to gain strength be-
cause of the fierce campaign Of the
United States government against it..
So important has Mexico become as
the keystone of American imperialist
policy in Latin-America that Wall
Street decided that one of its own
men should take charge Of the situa-
ton. replacing the ordinary diplo-
matte flunkeys. Instead of determin-
ing the policy and tactics to be used
the United States government hence
forth will simply endorse the Wall
Street policy that will be made in
Mexico by Morrow.
The conference at the state depart
ment last Wednesday was a sort Of
post-mortem on the counter-revolu-
tionary attempt of the Gomez-Ser-
rano forces. From present indications
it is only question of days until the
last remnants of the revolt will b,

CIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN is on
~ visiting tour in Europe similar to
that which occupied the spare time
of King Edward VII when he was
the instrument selected by the Brit
ish government of the day, in the
policy of organizing hostile ring
around Germany, which at that
period was Great Britain's foremost
commercial and naval rival. Navies
have way of following sea-borne
commerce. The British lion never
ceased to growl at Germany until
the German fleet was either sunk
or divided among the victors and
Germany's magnificent commercial
navy almost entirely driven from the
sea.
