A BIT OF CAUTION NEEDED

An accident happened on the highway near
Marion one day last week in which common fault
of pedestrians was demonstrated, and in which &C
cidents frequently occur when the automobile
driver is not to blame, but sometimes the people
in the car hurt in this instance In trying to
protect the ones walking.
roadster bearing a New York license plate
and being driven by a man travelling alone was
involved in this accident, The driver gave the &C
count of the accident in this manner: He said ne
saw two women starting to cross the highway d.
recty in the path of his car. He sounded warn
ing with his horn. One woman started one way and
the other started in the opposite way, or being
near the cars side of the highway one started to
proceed across the road while the other was re-
tracing her steps to get off the road. The driver
seeing their confusion forced to turn off the
highway himself to prevent hitting one of them.
His car was turned over and he suffered painful
injuries. t-
When car is in sight of persons who walk
ing on the highway who are intending to cross
the road, it takes only the fraction of minute
for the car to pass, especially in this part OF the
country where the roads winding.
Surely persons who are walking could wait the
fraction of minute to let a speeding car pass
and prevent possible accident.
The same principle exactly applies to automo-
biles in regard to crossing the railroad tracks, but,
in this case, the motorst is always the loser be-
cause the engineer of the locomotive cannot turn
his train off the tracks to prevent hitting the motor
vehicle that he in the act of crossing his path.
little caution on the part of pedestrians in the
one and on the part of motorists in the other
would save many lives and untold suffering not to
speak of loss in property damage.-Marion Prog

WTASHINGTON.-The job of ad-

tant one to be created here in a
long time. But it definitely is not
nice work even, if you can get it,
The three men most seriously
considered for the appointment
don't want it. They are:
Leon Henderson, present chief
economist for WPA and former
boss of research and planning for
NRA, who forecast the current de-
preston early in 1897 and has fed
the President and other New
Dealers much of the factual ma
terial they have used in the last
two years.
Isador Lbbin, chief of the Blu
reau OF Labor Statistics, a bril-
liant economist and administrator
who has built government statisti-
cal services up to new high point
OF efficiency.
Lloyd K. Garrison, dean of the
University CO Wisconsin law
school and chairman of a former
National Labor Relations board.

to the nobility of public service,
however, and none can be con-

Roosevelt and advisers want
both Henderson and Lubin to play
strong parts in the Forthcoming
monopoly investigation, which re-

be forcibly drafted for the wage

A fourth possibility is Richard

ority complex may be produced by
other influences than sense of
guilt. A man may have so failed
to make good in business, or mat
rimony, or parenthood, or politics,
or anything else, that he consid-
ers his brain or his judgment rates
very low. He loses confidence in
himself and grows to feel infer
Tor.
The treatment for the inferior
ity complex resulting from slips
into sin is obvious. The treatment
for the inferiority complex caus-
ed by lack of confidence in ones
judgment, is to keep on using the
old brain; and with increased care
and thought. After ALL. the devel-
opment of the character and the
mind is matter of practice.
When we find ourselves outstrip-
ped by others, it may be they
have had more practice than we;
they may be older souls; a child
of five has no occasion to feel dis
couraged because he cannot do
what a person of forty can do.
The truth is, | am whistling here
to keep up my own courage.
The inferiority complex has its
worth, which should be recogniz-
ed: 1t is the first step toward hui
mility - toward the realization
that one could know more and
should know more - that one
could do better and should do bet
ter. Rarely, if ever, does the per-
son who is associated with those
inferior to himself, and who is
looked up to by them, have an in
feriority complex.
1t is the realization of ignor-
ance that is the beginning of wis
dom. So if you have an inferior
ity complex do not be cast down
by it but get to work on the cause
of it. That, probably, is what ev-

MEASURELEsS LOVE
GOOD NEIGHBORS SEEK
COMPROMISES
(By BRUCE CATION

The fourteen weeks since the exproprla-
ton of the foreign oil companies proper
ties in Mexico have given both parties a
chance to see just where they stand. The
passions and indignations of the act should
be cooled somewhat. The time has come
for settlement.
Neither party is happy as things stand
now. The American companies have lost
their property, including both the physical
improvements they installed with Ameri-
can cash, and their rights to subsoil wealth
in oil. The Mexican government has lost
Id weeks valuable tax revenues; its tanks
are full of oil which can not be sold abroad
except in small driblets to governments
which are especially unsympathetic to
Mexico. Production has been cut to 90 per
cent of its former level. Many jobs have
been lost. Improved labor conditions asked
of foreign companies have not been fur
nished by the government, which asks the
workers to carry on under less favorable
conditions in the name of patriotism. Bush
ness stagnates throughout the country.
If that is not a situation that calls for
settlement, it is hard to imagine one. Wait
ing decision before the highest Mexican
courts is the foreign companies plea that
their property be restored. Yet such de-
cision would be terrific come-uppance
for the Cardenas government, and blow
at the patriotic spirit it has been building
up.
The American State Department policy
has been sympathetic and tolerant beyond
expectation. But it can scarcely go farther
than it has gone With billions of Ameri-
can money invested throughout Central
and South America, it can scarcely sane
tion the seizure of any and all such prop
epty at will without compensation.
What seems the sensible thing to do?
First, to get an impartial estimate, through
an international commission, of the value
of what has been taken. Then let some ar
arrangement be worked out for Mexico to
keep her subsoil resources but pay the ex-
propriated companies in oil until the debt
has been worked out.
Like all compromises, that requires yield
ing on both sides. But it also implies ad-
vantages to both sides which neither side
is now getting, 1t would guarantee to the
foreign companies some sort of realistic
compensation for their very real services
in having developed from scratch the Mex
lean oil industry 1t would secure eventual
ly to Mexico the rights to its subsoil re-
sources, and national oil industry, which
is, its desire.
Naturally, this is an oversimplifed view
OF very complicated problem But for the
oil companies to wait grimly and uncom-
promisingly for the Mexican government
to collapse under the oil strain would bene.
tit no one in the long run. And for the
Mexican government tosuse its unquestion-
ed sovereign powersin high-handed and
unwise manner endangers its reputation
and future as we'll. &~ 1s
A workable compromise would, ON the
other hand, smooth the path to "gooG
nsighbor' policies which have become g
vital part of the place of the United States
IN the world.
