MY construction of this article OF

tho executive said. For number
Of years there existed a barrier that
served to block trade relations. The
barrier of which I speak comprised
the high tariffs that the govern
nents of both countrie3 placed on
imports and exports.
II b3li've that the United States
and Mexico are now awakening to
the fact that we need each other
and that high degree of coopera-
ton would be to our mutual ad-
vantage. I firmly believe the next
few years will see most of these
tariffs cut in half.
"The two governments are now
negotiating for so per cent redlc-
tions on commodities shipped into
the state;, such as cattle, vegetables
and hardWcods. In turn SO per
cent cut would be made on lard and
other foodstuffs used in Mexico.

ities airs so high that their sales
have reached q very low ebb.
''In the event am correct in my
statement, and have every rea:on
to believe I am, a great increase in
business will be noticed in cities
not only III the interior of Mexico.
but en- the border as well. I predict
great future for Ell Paso, Douglas

along the international line"
When asked how the winter vege-
table crop Of Mexico compared In
sales to the crops raised in thu
United States Mr.. Douglas said that
the last few years had seen decid-
ed decrease in that business. This.
he also attributed to high tariffs.
mo where n the world can there
be found finer vegetables in the
winter time than are raised in Mex
ico," he stated. THE slump in this
business came about. not because
there was no demand for the prod
ucts. but for two other reasons.
Firstly. because CT the tariff, and
ecOndly, because the market the
last few years has been flooded.
Tariff Unreasonable
Tariff on vegetables is unreason-
able. 1t costs a broker 81 a crate to
ship tomatoes into this country and
Our own. tomatoes only bring So a
crate. Consequently a business that
once flourished III Mexico has been
almost annihilated.'
The rail official also commented
on the possibility of future travel in
that country.
With tho completion of the in

doubt enjoy new source Of busi-

flee and set his courts Of JUS
tice on a firm legal founda-
tion-vastly liberalizing the ad-
ministration of law for the
common man. He picked up
the welter of foolishness and
corruption which had been the
Banque de France and pro-
jected it down into today as
one of the great financial in
stitutions of modern times.
And while the blue light still
glows over the Invalides, the
French are restoring and re-
furnishing that old farmhouse
on st. Helena, where, on May
3, 1921, Napoleon wrote his
little epistle to destiny and
Laid him down with a will"
The rambling old house of
masonry was used for a cattle
fold until 1858, when Napoleon
III obtained a grant from the
English to take over the house
and the empty tomb a mile
away. The place was indiffer-
emily renovated and cared for,
with a French consular agent
living nearby, a few frayed
mementoes in the two empty
and barren rooms where Napo-
leon had lived.
A committee of Paris histo-
rians is proceeding with the
work of rebuilding and restor-
ing the house and grounds.
Historic pieces of furniture are
being traced through Europe
and England. Sir Steuart
Spencer Davis, governor of the
island, assists the restorers:
Historians have on record
every piece of furniture and
every article of wearing ap-
parel which Napoleon used on
this lonely mid-Atlantic rock
which gave him his martyrdom'
GENIUS
To his dying day, the i'm
prisoned emperor fought the
British government and Sir
Hudson Lowe, his keeper, with
savage hostility. The food
was wretched, and he sold his
silver to buy supplies. He
threatened to shoot any Brit
ish officer who stepped over
his threshold. When he died,
and they buried him under the
willow tree, in his cooked hat
and military coat, there was a
slab with Here lies written
on it but no inscription and
no name.
Thus martyrdom was sup
piled for Napoleon. and in
France his i'll treatment grew
into legendary tales and
greatly enhanced his name
and posthumous dominion in
that still chauvinistic nation.
But does Napoleon need q
memorial? France still has
the momentum imported by
that most extraordinary, most
virile genius of later centuries
"a momentum which will
carry it far beyond these days
of unrest. Paris will fade
from the front page again and
that spectral blue light will
glow over the dome of the In
valides-the disembodied es-
sence Of all that is France.
