Prof. CARTS Tells Valley How

The Saturday Evening Post, which Is act.ng as a
self-apponted mouthp!ecc OF the American Fedora
ton Of Labor II lighting lor restriction OF Mexican
immigration, has more to say on he subject.
III the issue Or February 0. Roy L. Cars. professor
OF economics at Vanderbilt University, holds forth
on the subject.
The professor explains how the Southwest, after
originally belonging to Mexico. and later being wrest-
ed from that country by the on-rushing American
n~eighbors. is becoming "Mexicanized.'
A strange word to use. "Mexicanized." This
country which we took from Mexico. taking the in
habitants along with the land. and which we are
rapidly populating with Americans, he says is being
'Mexicanized.'
The professor OF economics apparently pays little
attention to history.
The general tone Of his article is typified in the
title. II opens with the assertion that immigration
is not a political question III a partisan sense. 1t
cannot become a controversial question between any
two Americans who hold the permanent welfare OF the
nation and the maintenance Of its standards as para
mount to all considerations Of personal or class de-
sire and interest
In other w~ords-when we have finished our ar
gument. when We have explained that the Mexican
IS not only being barred from the Valley, b- that
he is being deported illegally from land which We
took from his ancestors-the answer We get is 4 way
ing Of flags, and a shout Of patriotism. This has
been the argument Of the Saturday Evening Post
throughout. If you oppose them, you are not patEi-
otto, they hold.
The Vanderbilt professor Of economics writes an ar
ticle that says the same thing over and ovec and
bristles with inconsistencies in the stating OF II.
He quotes o. w. Klllam OF Laredo. formerly presi-
dent Of the South Texas Chamber OF Commerce and
a successful Che hit Oil business man Of the South
west.
Mr.. Kinam. who no longer needs The Mexican Ia
Dor as he did once. says:
Mexican l7bo- has enabled large landholdings IL
be held intact and prevents the coring mo this
mart ~ the state ~ individual farmers" Then he
follows with: The Lower Rio Grardc Vale has
developed more rapidly than any other section OF
Texas for the reason that the land was cut up there
and sold in small parcels TO people from the Ncrth
ard East. II this particular section-Laredo-the
land N still held n large tracts and there Is proc-
ticallv no agricultural development worthy q cen
siderstion."
Telling the truth consists IN telling all the facts
about q subject. so that the proper impression may
be left.
Does MI. Kiliam explain that the Valley has o
much larger percentage Of EeXicans today than any
other similar area III Texas? Does ne explain that

The room seemed close after the
perfume-laden air on deck and
besides Pat wasn't q bit sleepy. She
decided on a little stroll all alone.
She walked forward along the
starboard rail to a position under
the lee Of the windlass house. Here
she paused and looked out across
the gently heaving ocean. its mir
ror-like surface ablaze with the
reflected stars and moon.
Suddenly she stiffened. The
sound. distinct. unmistakable. Of a
sob. a mans sob. came from the op-
posite side of the windlass house.
She moved up a pace or two and
looked across the intervening eight
feet.

his chest in an attitude OF abject
despair, was DR.. Gordon. Before she
could speak. another sob. deep,
choking. racked his body.
"Why-Frankl" she cried, step
ping quickly forward, both amazed
and terrified at this strange mani
festation. What under heavens is
the matter?"

sound OF her voice and he straight

asked, q note Of pleading in her
voice. "What-or who has hurt
