This fact Is a favorable augury for Mexico. II Of
fcrs some assurance that Mexico will continue to have
a peaceful, orderly government and that military power
will be subordinsted 10 civil power. which can alone
protect the liberties Of the people and foster their spir-
itual and material welfare.
President Gil is a civilian and has no military
background. except that he served as an attorney to the
Mexican army. He comes to his high position without
resort to arms. Even II his nomination by the Mexican
congress was dictated. the assassination Of obregon led
and outwardly constitutional procedure was followed
in choosing q provisional president.
The attitude of the military leader, has been thus
far commcndable, SO far as an outsider may judge OF
conditions in Mexico. In his farewell message Gales
gave some excellent advice to the military leaders, and
they seem disposed to follow it. Gales himself set m
admirable example by refusing to retain the %presiden-
tial office. which nc might have done, had he so de-
sired. and by saying that he would never again serve
as president.
With such presidents to GO on, and with the in
augurstion Of a civilian who is we'll equipped TO head
a progressive government, il may be possible for Mex
leo 10 continue TO enjoy constitutional government and
to avoid further revolutions. by which adventurers
have 50 often in the past seized the presidential office.
The Gil administration will be soon ended. however.
The real test Of sentiment in Mexico may come when a
full-term president IL elected. Meanwhile. ambitious

The primary purpose of the bill. according TO the

In the last two messages Of President Coolidge the
sttfntion Of congress has been called to the necessity
which exists for American aid in development Of .ho
highway systems Of Latin-Amcrica ard also the devei-
opnient OF highway within the United States to con-
meet Herewith.
In his message to congress last year. President
Coolidge emphasized highway development throughout
tne western hemisphere, and again AZ the Pan-Ameri-
can congress the proposed international highway sys-
ter, was ono Of the main topics under discussion.
In his message 10 congress. delivered Tuesday. Pres
Iioent coolidge ssid; In my message last year e-
pressed the view that We should lend our encourage
ment for more good roads 20 al the principal points
on this hemisphere south OF the Rio Grandc. Ny view
has not changed. The American Union has recently
endorsed IT. In some of tho countries to the south a
great deal Of progress is being made in road building.
In others engineering features are often exacting and
financing difficult. As those countries enter upon
programs for road building We should be ready TO con-
tribute from our abundant experience to make their
task easier Of accomplishment. prefer not to 20 into
civil life to accomplish this end. We already furnish
military and naval advisors, and following this prece-
dent We could draw competent men from these same
sources and from the Department Of Agriculture.
I'VE should provide our southern n~eighbors, il they
request IL. with such engineer advisors for the construc-
tion of roads and bridges. Private interests should
look with favor upon all reasonable loans sought by
these countries to open main lines Of travel. Such as
ISSUANCE should nc given, especially 70 any project Tor
a highway designed to connect all the countries on this
hemisphere ard thus facilitate intercourse and closer
relations between them"
President Coolidge has the proper perspective Of the
Latin American situation. He realizes that progress
south Of the Rio Grande depends upon development Of
transportation and that highways will be the principal
factors in such progress IS the Latin republics will
make. lie is also cognizant ~ the fact that the present
very friendly relations between the United States and
it, southern ~ncighbors Is not due 50 much to diplomacy
rs the fact that the peoples Of the southern republics,
through more frequent contact with their northern
~neighbors. have learned there Is no basis for the preju-
dice and IN will Of former years.
In no way could the United States demonstrate is
friendly interest in Latin America more impressively
and effectively than in accepting the program suggest
ed by President Coolidge and cooperating with each
Of the Latin republics IN solving the engineering and
financial problems Of their highway programs. When
highways extend from the Canadian barren lands" 70

phcrc will "a sohdly bound in ties Of friendship which

WASHINGTON. Dec. T.-Onc of
the big Washington dailicS recently
attributed to Senator Tom Walsh Of
Montana certain senatorial remarks.
nc the last session Of congress.
which Senator Walsh denies that lie
ever uttered.
The senator promptly called on the
daily to- take il back" which the
daily did. and a%pologized.
So far, so good.
But what most angercd Senator
Walsh was not the miSquotation.
The Of the Montana
statesman's complaint was that the
daily referred to himself and SEN
ator Tom Helm Of Alabama as sub
stantially in agreement on the mat
ter in question:
"The ~offense." according TO Sena-
tor Wslsh's letter to the indiscreet
daily. was aggravated by the coup
ling OF my name with that Of SEN
ator Heflin in his scurrilous COM
mcnt."
II appears that Senator Tom Of
Montana sees red at the merely be-
ing mentioned in the same breath
with Senator Tom Of Alabama.
"Scurrilous comment" is hardly
parliamentary language, either.
As between Senator Walsh and the
daily. Of course. the incident is clos

regret, in sackcloth and ashes.

what IL needed in the Nicaragua matter Il some
plain speaking on the part Of the United States gov
eminent and its many official and unofficial spokes-
men.
The long and the short ~ IL ~ that the United
States Is going to build an all-Americsn canal
across Nicaragua, and Is not going to permit any other
nation to build or control any canal from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. No matter what must be done in the
matter Of controlling the affairs Of Central American
or Caribbean states in order 70 bring about the desired
result. this country is going to provide for its own
safety and continued existence by controlling any and
all canals that may be built to connect these two
oceans.
In carrying out this policy, the little republics down
there will be benefited. The United States govern
more peace and prosperity than they have ever expe-
rienced heretofore, and will not do anything to the
detriment Of their interests, if these Central American
peoples will simply and frankly recognize the right u
the United States TO build and control the canals.
Cyrus French Wicker, who has been in the diplo-
matte and naval intelligence service Of the United
States in Nicaragua and throughout Central America,
has an article in the November Century Magazine. en-
titled "The Canal Is the Answer" It is an informative
article, and il a decided step toward the frank and full
speaking out that I have been advocating in this whole
Central American policy Of the United States.
Mr.. Wicker is now retired from the government
service, and is a professor Of the University Of Miami,
Florida. So Re can talk freely.
The former agent Of the United States government
points out tho economic and military necessity for the
construction and control Of the Nicaragua canal by
the American government. The Panama canal. a. most
readers. know, is now operating at about 20 per cent
q IL capacity. We ought t. be about The building u
the second canal Svhile that 50 per cent slack is being
taken up.
The Nicaragua canal will put New York and San
Francisco $50 miles closer. BY water. than they are now.
That means three days steaming, which might win a
war Q rsayc the cost Of the canal in time and fuel.
There arc some political difficulties IN the way.
Costa Eica claims that Nicaragua had no right to c6de
to the United States the canal route. which includes a
river that beiong5 TO Costa Rics o. much rs to Nicsra-
qua. Well. the United states can't afford u permit
such circumstances TO interfere With The early con-
struction n thu canal. The first duty of this nation X
to insure its own continued existence.

ulars" are just as sore at Helm as
at Simmons. However, Simmons
proved more effective. as a boiler.
than Heflin did. Heflin's state went
for Al Smith, in spite Of Tom. Sim
mons actually succeeded in throwing
his to the G. O. p.
Besides the regulars" consider
that Simmons knows better than
Tom does, anyway.
Quite a few other senators are ac-
cused by the "stand patters" Of hav-
ing been lukewarm on election day.
To make sure of them all, Senator
Bleasc Of South Carolina thinks that
every democratic solon. whose state
voted republican on November s.
ought to resign.
This would be a pretty kettle Of
fish.
If every senate democrat. such as
Senator Blease describes, were to act
on his suggestion, just Is members
Of the Jeffersonian group would re-
main in the upper house Of congress.
Strange to say. Tom Heflin would
be among them.
II was no thanks to Tom that Ala
hama stayed in the democratic col
umn. but under Cole Blcase's rule.
Tom nevertheless would be one of
the survivors.
But il is safe to say there will
be no resigning.

lin on Capitol Hill this coming win

a total ar O. ~airplane crashes IN the army air corps
were prevented during the last year due to improved
methods and equipment. The rate per thousand flying
hours Of accidents due to engine trouble was reduced
during the year 70 onethird ~ the average rate which
prevailed during the previous two years.
The commissioned personnel situation in the air
corps has changed very little during the past fiscal
year. The prospects for the bctterment Of the COM
missioned situation during the coming year arc bright,
provided vacancies arc available in the army which will
allow a larger number Of graduates Of the flying school
70 be commissioned in the air corps. Seventy-six grad
yates OF the military academy, West Point, class Of
1925, have been detailed to the air corps. Due TO the
increased interest IN aviation which has developed
during the past year. the educational qualifications Of
the cadets being sent to the primary flying school
have greatly increased.
Approximately 10 per cent Of the cadets entering
the July | classes at the primary flying schools arc
college graduates and upon graduation should offer
excellent officer material for the air corps. The prob
