IS THERE AN
UNSEEN HAND?

Along with consideration of the new
attitude in Mexico arises another Ques-
tion.
Are there forces at work in Mexico
cngcndcrng hatred Of the United States?
The Mexican decree baniShing foreign
oil interests might be and possibly is an
outgroWth Of the nationalism program
begun by President CardenaS. The cries
Of Down with the Gringos,' might be
spontaneous outbursts by the pOpulace.
There is no evidence TO the contrary.
Still, it is the history Of the American
people that they are so simple when it
comes to international maneuverings
that a situation has got to sneak up and
hit them in the eye before they know it
is at hand In light Of this fact, might it
not be well to ask ourselves if there is
not some foreign power egging on the
people Of Mexico 10 hatred of the United
States against the time when Mexico
might prove useful base Of military
operations for the foreign power?
From here. there seems very little
actual reason for hatred Of Americans
by the NeEican people. 1t might be
worth while 10 trace down the source Of
the growing Mexican sentiment-and TO
take Steps al the same time to overcome
the international distrust.

The announcement that Mexico has eXpropr-
ated the foreign oil interests in that country Is
not pill easy TO swallow by those interested
N torelgn investments in Latln-Amerlca. Il Is.
however a natural consequence OF the revolu-
tionary government in Mexico. That events
have moved so swiftly in the past two years
IS surprising. but the fact itself. divorced from
Its time element, is not.
Il is usually difficult to gcneralize about
Latin-America. This mistake. too often COM
mitted by investors and the public generally. OF
Jumping all the countries concerned into one
category has been in the past productive OF
u-ch error IN analysis and of actual dollars and
cents loss to investors. However. if there Is one
thing which holds 1OOd about the greater part
of Latin America today. it is the combined
nationalistic-radical attitude about exploitation
of natural resources. 1t is not necessary now
10 90 into the background Of why this should
be true: but It Is. in a large majority Of the
countries from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn.
Undoubtedly there are still investment op-
portunities in Latin America. At least IN spite
of the confiscatory tendency which has been eX-
hibited By many governments, profits will un-
doubtedly flow from the development and indus
tralization of these nations Of the future as
they ike TO think OF themselves. But capital
and particularly foreign capital. must henceforth
be extremely chary about further and deeper
investments which involve exploitation OF natural
resources. and more particularly should realize
the difficulties of translatins any profits which
may be derived from such ventures into dollars
and pounds.

Compared in size TO the rest OF the world the
United States is small piece of land. In fact
its Just six per cent of the total acreage. Not
only is it small in area but it has a small proper
ton OF the populaton-seyen per cent. Now
get those figures and that picture firmly fixed
in your mind. and listen to what follows and
tell US what's wrong with the country.
The seven per cent-WhiCh is the folks IN
the United StateS-haye something on the bal.
10 Use an understanding term. This small group
buys and consumes 48 per cent OF the worlds
coffee. q per cent Of its sugar, Sc per cent OF
its rubber 80 per cent Of its tin, 70 per cent Of
its silk 42 per cent Of its pig iron. Al per cent
of its copper and SO per cent Of its crude petro-
leum
This seyen-us-in each one hundred persons
in the world own 80 per cent Of the motor cars.
90 per cent of the worlds telephones and tee-
graphs grows sc per cent Of its cotton, produces
sc per cent of its coal, owns 50 per cent Of the
railroads and raises 90 per cent OF its wheat
Gold cannot be used as food but il Is useful
for other purposes and the United States owns
more than half the worlds known supply.
The United States seems to have about every
thing except the ability to keep its financial
house IN order. This SMALL seven per cent

EDITOR. THE POST-PRES5.
Several months apo you Wcre

I think that it is a very fine law

law if it is only enforced when it

drive at night East, West, North
or South on any highway, here in

Recently / took a group of East

and about four or five dinmcd their
lights. / also find that the large
trucks are by far the worst Of

We have many highway officers
on the road every night but it
seems that they are not enforcing
this very much needed law. and l
for one wish that you would take
it up in your paper and see if a
little publicity on your part will not
have the desired effect
Personally I think that this light
law was one Of the best laws that
was passed by cur last session Of
law bodies, but it is still just another
law that cutters up our law books
l. it IS left on the books and not
enforced.
