The Morrow Gales Pact

When six months ago, the United States aban-
doned its big-stck diplomacy in Mexico and adopted
instead policy Of sympathy, courtesy and under
standing it paved the way for this weeks deal where
in we snapped a possible war for valuable friend
ship and peace.
In other words it seems, the apparently 1ntermln-
able row between the United States and Mexico over
Mexico's oil land laws has been ended by treaty
President Gales and Ambassador Morrow did in two
months what blufng and clustering State Depart
ment has been unable to do in ten years
What lesson this should be TO our Department
of State in its future dealings with Latin America
and what a singing rebuke for past performance.
Kindness instead of kicks turned the trick and not
the least significant thing about it all is that the
broad road to this agreement has been wide open
before the department all the time
We recall for example an interview which this
newspapers foreign editor had with President Gales
more than year ago-to be exact, Feb. %, 1927
Opening with the remark that Mexico and the United
States seemed doomed never to understand each
other the correspondent asked why
That's just what We MeXicans want to know"
the president answered, somewhat bitterly If to
say the fault not entirely his.
We'll If you were the United States, what would
you do?"
That's easy" he replied, quick shot. For
your present policy I'd substitute policy of SYM
pathy, courtesy and friendship and I'd try to UNI
derstand not just my side Of the question, but
both"
I'm other words" the interviewer suggested "the
material obstacles in the way Of understanding
would seem to be less than the psychological ones.
Getting along with Mexico is largely a question Of
manner"
Exactly the president exclaimed
Such In effect was the gist of the interview,
every word of which has been borne out by subse-
quent events. Ambassador Morrows victory proves,
that President Gales was 100 per cent sincere.
No sooner had President Coolidge taken the initia-
tive from Secretary OF State Kellogg, accepted the
resignation of Ambassador Sheffield and appointed
Dwight Morrow in Sheffields place than the highly
CONCEALED atmosphere about Chapultepec began to
thaW.
Morrow arrived in Mexico City with friendness

ish' in the other. He burnt midnight oil studying
not one SIDE but both sides of the oil controversy
He mingled with the Mexican people. He and

whatnot. He toured the country to learn all he
could about Mexico, her people, and her difficulties

Get Rid of Coffin

In the rare pleasure OF hearing some Repub-
hcan primary candidates tell the truth about
others, some citizens may lose sight of one of
the chief issues of the campaign, so far as
Marion County is concerned.
1t is highly important that the Republican
rank and file seize the opportunity to rebuke
such men as James Eli Watson and Arthur
Robinson, but it is just as important to the fair
name yes, even the safety of this community,
that the political doom Of George V. Coffin, Re-
publican county and city chairman, be assured.
Coffin has not yet been tried on the same
charges of political bribery as Governor Ed
jackson faced in February, so it is not known
whether he also is to be the beneficiary Of the
statute Of limitations, but Coffin s conduct of
his party organization has been on trial for
four years with the people as the jury. The
verdict should be brought in May 8, primary
election day
The people may return the verdict by their
votes for precinct committeeman. The com
mitteemen elected May will choose the new
county chairman on the Saturday following.
Coffin has announced he will not accept the job
again but few persons are so dense as to be-
lieve that Coffin is retiring from politics.
There will be a Coffin candidate for
county chairman and the willy George V. will
be directing the battle-eyen now is laying
his plans.
For time it appeared that there would
be united movement of the numerous Repub-
lican factions outside the Coffin organization TO
unseat the boss ally of D. c. Stephenson, close
friend of the discredited Ed Jackson, and the
convicted John L. Duvall.
But this movement appears to have gone on
the rocks Of failure. Unless some other coall-
ton is accomplished it will be case of Coffin
against the field, with the odds favoring Coffin.
The intelligent voter will find out which
candidate for committeeman in his precinct IS
unalterably opposed to all that Coffin repre-
sents and vote for him.
This will not be an easy job 1t can be
put off until election day, because the only IN
formation the ballot will give IS the names OF
the candidates for committeeman. Coffin
workers can be counted upon to be standing
around the polls passing out slips urging cleo
ton of their particular man. The slips will
not inform the voters that the candidate IS
Coffin man-that can be predicted confidently,
too
Decent Republicans should begin to watch
for the appearance of the candidates for COM
mitteemen. and make it a business of prime i'm
portance to find out before election day just
who is who.

abroad and his broad comprehen-

been able substantially to increase
American exports and thus add to

on two occasions he approved his
appointment to the cabinet. Why
question them now?
But what about the candidacy

For sheer brass you have to
award the palm to jim Watson Of
Indiana. There are other poll
ticians who have gall in abund-
ancc, but none to match that OF
the senior Senator from the
Hoosier State.
His candidacy for the presidency
is without parallel in the politi-
cal history of this country For,
as Frank Kent points out, here
is the record of his notorious po-
ltical machine in Indiana in the
last four years:
One Governor convicted and
serves a term in the penitentiary.
Another Governor indicted and
escapes conviction through the
statute of limitations.
The mayor of indianapolis in
diCted and convicted.
Six members of Indianapolis
city council indicted and await
ing trial.
Republican State chairman in
diCted.
Republican chairman Of Marion
County indicted.
State bank examiner indicted.
Former State treasurer indicted
Former city purchasing agent
indicted.
Former city market master and
various minor officials indicted.
That any man would dare aspire
to the presidency with such a
machine record behind him is
simply amazing. 1t has never
been cqualed.
