various American politicians and some economists.
who have been brosdcasting that the United States has
become a nation Of spendthrifts. should examine the
recent report or w. ". Steuart, director Of the bureau
Of census. The report answers with great clesrnsss the
iong-Posed question: what il America doing with its
growing wealth.
II Is true our wealth is being expended, but a very
minor fraction is being wasted. The major part il be-
ing expended TO create additional wealth to make life
more worth the living and TO lay the foundation FOR
future progress and prosperity.
Americas wealth is being utilized 10 buy more
bathtubs and washing machines, radios, automobiles,
electric refrigerators; to construct new homes or to
make old homes more attractive; to give our boys and
girls high school and college education.
The family Of 1927. when the last record was made
of indicators Of Material Progress" had more money
IN the bank, 3 greater share in the production OF me
chsnical and mineral output, more appliances to make
Homework easy and home enjoyable and attractive
than It had in 1921. In fact, American living standards
in those six years increased at unprecedented speed,
and every dollar expended in improving living standards
has been an investment from which both present and
future generations will draw large dividends.
Figures cited by the census director are interesting.
He shows that in 1921 production Of passenger auto
mobiles was 1,i55ooo, and in 1927 IL was ~s.229,ooo. an
increase exceeding 100 per cent. In 1921 the house
wives OF America possessed i,ss0,0O0 washing machines,
and by 1927 the number had been increased to 5,6gi goo.
Similar figures are cited to show the increase in ra-
dos. electrical refriverators and ST iilar apputenances
which were practically unknown six years ago. and
arc now considered household necessities.
what America il speeding for education may he
cleaned from tho fact that students ir high schools in
1921 numbered 2.i13Ooo. By 1927 the enrolment had
increased to i,S53,OO0, which indicates that almost
twice a. many Of our boys and girls have the privi-
lege OF securing a high school education. Figures on
college enrolment arc equally startling. College at
tendance jumped from E9S,0o0 IN 1924 to 1OS7o0o in
1927. the latter figure moi including the thousands a
students in tho junior colleges. Residential building
in Sc states in which records we're maintained increased
approximately Si,5o0.oOo,ooo in ak years. Deposits in
savings banks increased from sle,5ooOooooo in 1921
70 100000 600 in 1927.
America is not wasting her wealth, a. these figures
prove. Il * true that stupendcus sums are being spent.
as compared with pre-war days; but there can bs 70
waste in such expenditures as the average American
is making to further elevate living standards and TO
give 10 American youth educational opportunities with

A New Angle on Mexican

member Of the Mexican congress who halls from
che state Of Guansjusto, Senior Jose Cara. processes TO
be not greatly perturbed over the proposal Of the Box
hill. which would restrict Mexican immigration by
placing that country upon the quota basis.
Senior Cara asserts that Mexico should pass a bill

.rtrv Of such Msxicsnz as have resided IN any part 81
the United States except 2 limited rore along the
border.
Csrzs's arguments in favor Of the measure arc
very similar to those presented by Congressman Box
uho proposes the quota restriction. The Mexican con-
gresham asserts that Mexican citizens who accept en-
plovment in the industrial sections Of the United States
and eventually return to Mexico arc contaminated
nv the lawlcssncss which prevails in the industrial and
limited states" he asserted. Tic added that those who
entered the United States as honest laborers have re-
turned 70 their native land past masters IN the various
articles Of the criminal.

invariably retained their original concepts Of honesty

serted.
