Too Dry Some Places,
Too Wet Others

Perhaps it is warped sense of humof
t1at brings smile To our lips when we
read that officials of the Mexican gov
ernment have blamed financial Difficult
ties of the Agrarian movement on the
fact that it was too dry in some places,
and too much rain in Others to permit
good farming.
A dispatch from Mexico City this
week commenting on growing unrest IN
northern Mexico because of the unsettled
economic conditions is of particular in
terest 10 Imperial Valley, which has
been given a ringside seat at develop
ment of the Agrarian program. In these
columns more than a year ago was pre-
dicted the very thing that is happening
in Mexico today. The prediction was not
original with us-it has been voiced time
and again by leading citizens in MeXi-
cali. Because of their residence IN Mex
leo, however, they could not afford open
ly to voice their sentiments.
We have seen the land taken away
from its owners, who are experienced
farmers, and given to groups OF poems
accustomed largely to day labor. We
have seen the government attempt to
finance their farming ventures, buying
them equipment and seed and food. We
have seen these poems = now become
AgrarianS-attemp TO farm large tracts
Of land under communal system, with
no man responsible for any one tract,
but all men responsible for the total
acreage.
In the MeXicali valley, We have seen
costs increased and production lessened
: natural result when an experienced
farmer is replaced by man who is not
a farmer.
Now We see the result.
Mexico is in dire economic straits.
The Agrarians have not produced enough
to pay back what the government loan
ed them much less to make their own
living The government is holding the
sack, the Agrarians are still holding the
land, and everybody is more or less dis
contented.
Mexico is learning the hard way that
you cannot make a farmer by legisla-
ton Pray God the United States never
makes the same mistakei

REVOLT AT STANFORD
Ventura Siar)

When college girls who are being rushed by
the sororities organize protest against the
system that leaves half of their classmates out
in the cold, they deserve cheer and something
more substantial in the way of support from the
college authorities.
That is what has happened at Stanford uni
yersity, where only l18 first year students out
of class of 265 girls may belong to sororties,
which are limited to nine in number. The re-
volt has broken out. not among the excluded
but among the 1l8 eligibles. one of whom says
so many of friends are heartbroken over
not receiving sorority bids that we don't think
its all quite fair. We think something is wrong
with the system
A good many people, including fraternity and
sorority members, have been thinking that for
good many years Young people are snobbish
enough without being encouraged, and college
is no place for recognizing class distinctions
They segregate students in groups, and deprive
them OF the variety OF contacts that should be
of the greatest benefits of college life. Money
and social position inevitably influsnce the
choice Of members. and the prestige of
the Greek letter societies then operates to es-
tabsh college values that just the opposite
OF what they should be. 1t is system that has
much to do with the discredting not only of
scholarship but of any genuine interest in cul-
tural values.
