 Hundreds Of years ago the breed CTS formed an association which won legal privileges permitting transportation of their animals over fields and roads running di- rectiy north and south or east and west. and allowing them to rest. feed and water their animals in fields along the way without in. identifying the owners of the land. Efforts to curb the privilege were begun as long ago as the seven- teenth century, but the right has been maintained and the stockmen argue that the wealth of the nation is increased by the practice.

Havana Conferences Arouses
Optimism

Despite the fact that a mass attack was made by
the Latin-American delegates to the Havana confer
ence against the Fundamental principles underlying
the policies OF the United States. the American dele
CATION continues very optimistic regarding the out
come OF the conference. The sudden "flare-up' last
Saturday was due, they state. to a misunderstanding
of the situation, a misunderstanding which is being
rapidly eliminated. They are confident that a salts
factory formula regarding the rights md duties of
nations can be worked out and will receive the unani-
nous endorsement Of the conference.
American delegates assert that the most spectac-
ular aspects of the debate preeipitated last Saturday
have clouded the real issues before the committee on
public international law. and that the formula submit
ted by DR.. Maurtua OF Peru relative 10 the funda-
mental rights and duties Of nations strictly conforms
to existing international practice and that the neees-
sity for maintaining these practices will eventually BE-
recognized.
Chairman Hughes Of the American delegation has
reminded the committee that its duty is to codify
existing and recognized precepts OF International law
and not to try to amend or improve them. The Am
erican delegation contended Saturday that the pro
posa! of DR.. Maurtua is in fact an impartial and CON-
prehensive statement Of what the law actually is which
nations practice in their relations with each other.
The American delegation contends that the pro-
posal elaborated BY the Rio Janeiro conference Of
jurists last April, is merely a ~fragmentary statement
Of what the actual law Of nations j.. and that its con-
ception Of interventions should apply only to obige
foreign governments to comply with illegal or unjust
requests from other states, a conception with which
the United States is not in accord.
The American delegation has emphasized that in
their opinion the Maurtua report is a positive state
ment which embraces both the rights and duties OF
NATIONS and which could not be construed as restrict
ing the sovereignty of the weaker nations and leav-
Ing opportunities for the stronger ones to use their
strength.
Amy correct codification of existing International
practices. American delegates say. would have to
reach the same conclusions as the drafts originally
elaborated by the American Institute of International
Law. This institution, which numbers among its
members hundreds Of the most renowned Central and
South American jurists. elaborated the project in
ouestion without this, Pan-American Congress in view

CORPUS Christi Caller)

Although it appears that the International air
mail line will be routed through Laredo to Mexico
City. there is no reason to believe that the Houston
Brownsville Tampico route will be abandoned more
than temporarily. There is a vast potential business
for the air mail line between Tampico and Mata-
moros; the Mexican government, will not be in a posi-
tion to disregard it entirely. Z
Brownsville, evidently, is not at all discouraged.
II has proceeded with its plans for the acquisition CT
a tract Of land and the establishment of a model air
port. A bond issue for 100000 for the purchase and
equipment Of hte air port will be voted upon by the
people of the border city next month. Judging from
the opinion as expressed in the Brownsville Herald,
there is little possibility of the defeat Of the issue.
The Herald. too. quotes the Washington CORES
pondent Of the San Antonio Express to this effect:
Postmaster General New and the second assist
ant postmaster general, W. Irving Glover, today stated
that it appears the line which would obtain the most
business would be from the City Of Mexico to Browns
willie, by way of Tampicc and Matamoros. These two
cities, the American officials pointed out. are the
largest oil and industrial centers and linking them
with the United States would be most beneficial. This
would be especially true in the case of the establish
ment Of the coastline route from New Orleans to
Brownsville by way of Houston"
Brof rsville is missing no chances. IL and when
the airy -ails are routed over the coast route, Browns
Vile pt.,os@ to be ready to handle the business. The
air md business i developing at an amazing rate.
Withinla few years there is certain to be half a dozen
lines Here one line serves today. There is 20 good
reasok why boht the Laredo and Brownsville routes
shoulS not be adopted eventually.
At any rate, Corpus Christi can afford to watch
Brownsville's policy closely. Not only air mail, but air
- AeNErs freight lines are a development which
Viii come within a comparatively short time. The city
which looks ahead a hit. prepares for the new era in
transportation, is the city which will make the most
of it. Large cities will experience difficulty in locat-
ing airports. Smaller titles, such as Corpus Christi,
Brownsville and Laredo, do not face that difficulty TO-
day. Eventually, no doubt, they will-unless they are
foresighted enough to DO today what they will have
to do later at an exagror" cost.

We all appreciate q picture an
author gives Us to illustrate his
point. In this lesson Jesus gives in
his parallels such an array Of word
pictures in quick succession and de-
lightful variety as almost deserve
to be called a moving picture Of his
Kingdom.
He likened the kingdom Of heaven
10 a man going forth to SOW his
seed. and pictured the varied atti-
tudcs If men in the hard wayside
where rs gospel could take no hold;
or To the shallow, rocky soil where
il could get but a superficial and
temporary hold; then to the thorny
ground where its hold was disputed
by such growths as the lusts Of
pleasure and riches; and finally TO
the good soil Of honest hearts where
rootarc resulted in fruitage. So the
results OF the teaching Of this les
son depend upon those who are
taught as well as upon the n who
teaches. But the kingdom comes By
sowing. The gospel Of the kingdom
must be sown broadcast from pull
pit, press and microphonc.
The Kingdom Of God Requires
Glowing
Jesus next parable pictures the
responsibility of those who hear the
gospel Of the kingdom. If il is the
teachers duty TO Sow. it is the pu-
pills duty to Glow. is n candle
brought to be put under a bushel. OF
under "a bed? and not to be set on q
candlestick?" The gospel has light
ed US that we may tighten others.
We arc blessed only to he a bless
ing.
The Kingdom of God Requires
Growing
The parable Of three %disappoint-
ing soils 10 one fruitful one, and
the other parable would have given
a most discouraging outlook for the
kingdom were il not for Jesus next
picture: $50 is the kingdom Of God,
as if a man should cast seed into the
ground: and should sleep and rise
night and day. and the seed should
spring and grow up, he knoweth not

should be realized by every patriotic citizen. 1t is
through our diplomatic representatives that We en-.

] am glad to say that in recent years there has
been a new spirit in foreign service. This is due TO
the fact that the service has been better organize

been taken by congress and the Department OF State,
the service has been made more attractive to men
who, by temperament, ability and training, are special
ly fitted for a diplomatic career.
Our foreign service is the least expensive Of all
