This Cooperation 3usiness

OF late the federal government has been extremely
active in urging farmers of the country to form CO.
operatives which in turn are to wo~' under the auspices
pf the Federal Farm Board and the farmers prob
lens.
Laudable effort which may bring practical results.
But the federal government itself might in some
manner SO organize its own departments that they may
set the example of true cooperation to the farmers and
the country at large.
Specifically we refer to the wide variance which
seems to exist in the attitudes of the department of state
and the treasury regarding the attitude which we as citi-
gems of the United States should take toward our neigh
boring republic of Mexico.
We have been informed, and we believe correctly in
formed, that the department of state is making most
strenuous efforts to bring about a renewal Of the oldtime
cordial relations which existed between the United States
and Mexico.
1t is no secret that the Valley is depending for its
future development on the renewal and the maintenance
of those cordial relations, and certainly every effort is
being made by residents of this section to bring about a
mutual understanding with our friends to the south.
Certainly the efforts of the department Of state and
of citizens of the Valley are not aided by loose statements
such as the one issued Monday by Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Lowman.
When Mr.. Lowman referred to Texas border towns
as suffering from moral and financial degradation he
cast a slur unwarranted in either fact or theory on the
citizens Of both Mexico and the United States who live
nlong the Rio Grande.
When he referred to gambling, smuggling, thievery
and other lawbreaking" he displayed a colossal ignorance
of conditions in both his own and a neighboring country.
The crime record of cities along the Rio Grande on
the United States side will bear a favorable comparison
with that of any cities in the United States, not excepting
the capital of the nation where Mr.. Lowman makes his Of
fetal residence.
Order maintained in restaurants, cafes and night
clubs in Mexican cities will bear a most favorable COM
parison with the revelry of the night clubs and popular
cafes in Washington.
If the treasury department is so worried about the
smuggling of liquor across the border, we suggest that all
bridges leading from the United States into Canada be
closed Immediately, as the little trickle that flows across
the Rio Grande is nothing as compared to the stream of
illicit beverages which pouts into this country from
Canada.
However, we find in his implication that smuggling
is done across the international bridges a very good reason
for the taking Of prohibition enforcement from the de
partment which Mr.. Lowman graces.
The whole thing is childish, this spectacle Of one de-
partment of the government apparently ignorant of what
goes on in an another department, and still more ignor-
ant of conditions as they exist in sections where authority
is asserted.

business in general during the year

Recovery Of business must take

Wilson said that despite a de-
crease in sales last year, his plant
was able to register 10 per cent
increase in profits. Other meat
packing authorities said the lower
