The Need for Unity

AT no time in the history of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley has the need for a central organization which will
act as a clearing house for opinions and a melting pot
which will merge these opinions into a unified line of
thought been more apparent than during the past two
weeks.
Various points in Hidalgo county, through their local
organizations and through the commissioners court of
The county have forwarded petitions to Washington ask
ing the early closing of the International bridges leading
from Hidalgo county across the river into Mexico.
so far as is known, no such petitions were forwarded
from Cameron county or from Brownsville, the one city
In the county seriously affected by a change in the closing
hours on its two international bridges.
Without attempting to pass upon the merits or the
demerlts of the arguments advanced by Hidalgo county
interests, it appears manifestly unfair that Brownsville
apd Cameron county should be affected by the response
to petitions forwarded from another county.
We do not believe that organizations in Hidalgo
county in their requests for a change in the closing hours
ever thought that the Brownsville and MatamOrOs bridges
would be affected by the orders they were seeking.
We do not believe that there is anyone in Brownsville
or Cameron county who would deny to Hidalgo county
the right to ask for such closing hours as may be desired
by Hidalgo county residents.
1t is obvious now, after the closing hours have been
changed, that a conference between all cities and or
ganizatiohs Interested would undoubtedly have resulted in
the working out of a plan and a petition which would
have proved satisfactory to all concerned.
The Brownsville Herald has repeatedly stated during
the past six months its firm belief that a central organiza-
ton, call it a Valley Chamber of Commerce or whatever
other name you may see fit to apply, is sorely needed in
this section.
With the best intentions in the world, one section Of
the Valley may unwittingly injure another section of the
Valley simply because the one section does not have an
intimate knowledge of local conditions as they exist in the
other section, a condition which would prove well nigh
impossible were q central organization set up to act as a
clearing house for all matters Of Valley wide importance.
Closing of the international bridges is only one point
which happens to be much in the public eye at the pres
ent moment. There are many other conditions and ac-
tions which might be brought out, but which are un-
necessary to bring out the point.

Why Racketeers Stay

Atty. Gen. Mitchell is entirely right in saying that the fed
eral government cannot be expected to do all the work Of
breaking up gangs in cities like New York and Chicago.
Commenting on the Capone indictments and allied cases.
Mr.. Mitchell recently said:
Every time we make a move like that people think we're
taking over the entire job Of extinguishing rackets. That j.
not our job. OF course we are glad to help, but there will be
rackets as long as the public in the municipalities allows
them to stay"
This is the sort Of thing that needs to be said very often.
Big city gangs exist because the public toIerates them. ANY
city could get rid of its gangs in a fortnight if its inhabitants
really wanted to.

OF course there would be no calls

boarded a car and rode home.
