NEW DEAL IN MEXICO
DIMS ROOSEVELT PLAN

while admitting foreign capital. at
the same time is investing govern
ment money in industries and
making them part of the govern
ment'S business.
The government has plunged
into the oil, paper manufacture
and mining industries, going as
far as possible under a provision
of the constitution which allows
the Federal government to own
as much as so per cent of the
capitalization of any industrial
enterprise. according to Priestly.
Under the third point of the
SiX-Year Plan which provides for
a systematic development of means
of communication, PrieStly reports
that the Cardenas government is
the first one to put into operation
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-26

a comprehensive program for
building highways and railroads
on an extensive scale. Work also
has begun on improving MeXico'S
natural harborS on the Pacific and
Atlantic.
Finally, as regards the fourth
point of the plan-that Of educa-
tion-PrieStly admits that the
country faces a difficult problem.
The first task is to instruct the
masses in elementary education,
especially rural citizens who total
three-fourths of the population.
OF this group, approximately 81
per cent, he says, is illiterate, and
SO the present program is primar-
lily concerned with greater attend
ance at schools and elementary
teaching.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. &c. UP
-Mexico's New Deal" based on
the execution OF its Six-Year Plan
IS progressing at a rate calculated
10 astonlsh the world shortly. ac-
cordlng 70 Prof. Herbert I. PrieStly,
specialist in Mexican history at
the University of California.
PrieStly made an extensive sum-
mer tour OF all parts of Mexico to
study progress under the Six-Year
Plan.
The New Deal in Mexico" he
declares. is one which makes the
New Deal in America look mild in
comparison. The government is
carrying forward a program OF
share the land and is launch
ing into competition with private
industry on u basis that equals its
efforts toward improvement Of
general education"
Modified state Planning
PrieStly declares that, in general
observers of Mexico's Six-Year
Plan have been somewhat con-
fused, variously appraising the
movement in terms of Fascism and
Communism. while as a matter OF
fact the system has little in COM
mon with the state planning OF
countries like Germany or the
Soviet Union.
Instead" says Priestly, 1t is
definitely a move 10 the left, the
ultimate purpose of which is to
create a state wherein the for
gotten man will enjoy a better
standard of living. II now appears
that for the first time in its his
tory, Mexico can look forward TO
a stable government that may ac-
tually become democratic in prac-
tice as well as in theory"
Priestly points out that at the
time the Six-Year-Plan was adopt
ed. II called for a comprehensive
program of internal Improvements
in agriculture, industry. education
and communications. His recent
extensive investigation in Mexico
was to ascertain TO what extent
each one Of these objectiyes is be-
ing attained.
faTncTS Ott oWn LdHu
"As regards agriculture" says
Priestly. the cry OF land always
has been sufficient in the past to
rally farmers and laborers into
any militant revolutionary move
ment. But under President Carde-
mas land is being made a reality
TO the Mexican farmer. This is
being done in two ways.
First. the vast estates of the
old time landed proprietors are
being broken up and parcelled out
TO the workers and farmers.
Second. large tracts of arabic
land are being reclaimed through
irrigation, and farm colonies are
being set up TO work the land with
modern methods. In less than one
year more than 100000 families
have been definitely established on
farms of their own"
In the industrial part of the Six
Year Plan, Priestly says progress
is being made with revolutionary
strides. Scientific research bureaus
have been set up for the first time
TO study the nature and extent of
the national wealth.
Government in Industry

he says. have shown a tendency
merely TO let outside interests de-
velop these resources, CardenaS,

ages.
Government millions approprl-
ated under the new law already
are pouring into the nations Stun
sections to finance direct grant
livelihaods for poverty stricken
aged. dependent children and needy
blind.
The Social Security board put
its old age employer-employe ben
eft system in operation this week,
eventually insuring the necessities
of life for 26,000.000 working peo-
pie. Pensions will be paid in 1912
and thereafter TO persons IS years
and over.
Industrial and commercial en-
ployes in IA states and the Dis
trict of Columbia have the pro-
lection of federal-state unemploy-
ment compensation. The system
will be spread over the country
as quickly as remaining states
cooperate.
Those were the definite results
of the social security agency in
exactly eight months. Congress
made money available to launch
its drive against hunger and want
last February IL although the bill
itself was passed in 1885.
Grants Paid
The welfare-health grants paid
by the government to indigcnt,
aged, dependent children, and blind
amounted to $22,910,000 this month.
A total of 1.413,615 individuals
is receiving aid in every state and
Washington, D. c., except Georgia,
Kansas, Nevada, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee and
Virginia. The seven have no pub
lie assistance laws approved by
the social security board.
The number of persons receiv-
ing old age grants is 1,046, ,730.
Their form of benefit is separate
from the federal employer-employe

Under the latter plan, business
and industrial employers and en-
ployes viii share equally a 2 per

increase to 8 per cent later, stor-

Records show that $4,000 aged,
24,l00 children, and 1900 blind
were aided this month in Cali

under its public assistance pro-
gram. A total of $2,468,000 was
spent.

Board met in regular session on Tues
day afternoon, July 7, 1886, at the
Welfare Office in Snow Hill.
Mrs. Anna Burbage, Berlin, and
Mrs. Trimper in the Welfare activi-

Board.
Considerable business was trans
acted by the Board, including the
study of list for Old Age Assistance,
of which 81 persons were recommend
ed for cash grants. Investigations
for Old Age Assistance are being
made in chronological order of the re-
ceipt of applications, but, due to a re-
duction in the number of staff of
workers, the Investigations are of ne
cessity somewhat slowed up. They
are, however, going forward as rap
idly as possible.

COUNTY AGENT ADVISES
KEEPING RECORDS

r. T. Grant, County Agent, urges
all farmers to keep records and pre-
serve evidence of all soil-building prac
tees carried out on their farms. 1t
is particularly important, he says,
that records be kept showing the
acreage of any green-manure crops
and the date turned under. Also, re-
ceipts that show ground limestone or
super-phosphate were applied on the
farm should be kept.
Before a producer can qualify for
payment, Mr.. Grant states, he will be
required to submit proof of the soil
building practices carried out on the
farm. He suggests that farmers mott
fy their local committeeman or the
County Agents office when any prac-
tees of this kind are carried out.
1t is not necessary that notice be given
in writing, but it is important that
the local committeeman be informed
of the practices when they are carried
out.

COLLISION IN

BAY TUESDAY
Freight Rams Old Bay Line
Steamer Amidships Pene-

MARYLANDS GOVERNOR
PASSENGER OF VIRGINIA

About 1920 P. NJ, last Tuesday, a
freighter Golden Harvest" by name,
struck an Old Bay Line steamer,
estate of Virginia" squarely amidship,
penetrating about 10 feet into the side
of the steamer, and, at this writing,
the two vessels are so tightly wedged
it has been impossible to separate
them.
The Golden Harvest belonged to the
Williams Line and was loaded for the
West Coast. The Virginia had been
chartered by the Automobile Trade
Association of Maryland, and was
leisurely making her way into Balti-
more, where she was timed to arrive
about midnight.
Just what caused the crash has not
been determined, but the general i'm
preston is that a mix-up in signals
caused the collision. There was no
fog and the accident seems explain
able on no other ground. Investiga-
lions have been already started.
There was, of course, considerable
excitement on both boats, but the
panic was more pronounced on the
Virginia. The excursionists were lis

ELECTRICAL STORM HITS
POCOMOKE LAST tues.

A terrific electrical storm struck
Pocomoke on Tuesday night. The
lightning was exceptionally vivid and
thunder unusually heavy. Several
disturbances followed one another, one
of which was accompanied with hail
shower, which, so far as can learned
did no serious damage.
The garage and filling station OF
George E. Young, on Market Street
was hit by a bolt, but was only slight
ly damaged. The fire department was
called out, but bucket of water had
been sufficient before the fire trucks
arrived.

Did any of you people notice that
Their was a little noise in the upper
regions last Tuesday night which re-
sembled a combination of all the bowl
ing alleys in the universe making a
ten-strike at the same time? Or,
worse, all the armies in the world adj
vancing on the foe, under a barrage
of big guns, and little guns, torpedoes,
machine fire, mortars, bombs, and
rifle blasts, adding their testimony.
The lightning made the search light
of battleship look like fire flies, and
its streaks made one think of snake
tongues splitting forth venomous
streams which would be just as dead
ly did anything oppose it's flight in
the ethereal dome. 1 just tell you, it
all isn't good to hear or see. 1 pre-
ferred the place under my pillow to
the upper surface, and 1 want to tell
you 1 ducked when the flashes came;
tho I knew when 1 saw them the
danger was passed. So far as / am
concerned, the world could get along
without those outbursts of electrical
energy; but they are Natures edicts
and we must abide by her rulings.
