The Civic Planning and Improve

Coolidge. 1t is planned to install
IA lights on Central Avenue,
Main Street, Coolidge Avenue, and
on Highway 81. The plan Is to have

work and equipment, the cost 20

proximately sS.40 year. Some ~

the lights are to be installed and
should be endorsed by everyone,

Delegation Approach
Supervisors on Road
Through Box Canyon

A delegation representing the
different mine owners above Box
Canyon approached the Board OF
Supervisors Monday on the FEAST
bility of building a road through
Box Canyon so that the ore that
is mined at the several different
mines could be easily transported
to the smelter. Box Canyon is one
of the points of interest in Pinal
County and is visited by hundreds
of persons each year because OF Its
unusual interest and beauty in spite
of the inaccessible road through the
canyon. 1t is a hopeless task to
try and get out the deposits Of
ore over the road as it is and such
a road would serve the two pur-
poses very well. Walter Smith
and J. w. Spray will make a trip
over the proposed route to see If
something could be done without
the cost being to prohibitive, in
getting some sort of road through
the canyon to the mines distance
of little over four miles.

COFFEE IN MARCH

There are more billions of pounds
of coffee shipped into the United
States every year than there are bill
lions in the national debt aud the
national income added together.
There's billions for beverages to
buck up the human system. Still, the
consuming power of the American
coffee drinker is not what 1t might
be, nor does IL approach the amount
downed daily by our Scandinavian
friends, so the Pan-AInerican Bureau
and the Associated Coffee Industries
of America are going to make as
more coffee-conscious. New appeals
are thus explained, and You viii see
the min restaurants, hotels and gro
cercies where the advice will be
drink that second cup, its good for
you"
The six American Republics rep
resented in the Bureau are all goOd
customers of the United States and
worthy to he classed as the coolest
-neighbors-which is more than
calling a whole Hemisphere good
neigbbors" when some of them are
not.
All the arts that exist in modern
streamlined commerce seem to have
been used, and maybe it will help
prove the American poets remark
that coffee is brew that makes us
wise and see through all things with
clearer eyes"
The Coffee Bureau is very positive
about the merits of coffee even
though nearly all of us already are
convinced of the fact that we
couldn't start the day without it.
These appeals to the public are be-
ing stimulated by local merchants
in newspapers and other advertis-
ing. 1t goes to prove that forceful
appeal of newspaper advertising is
convincing to readers who know that
the authenticity of food product, in
which producers back up their own
convictions in advertising is not to
be questioned. 1

BRITISH DIPLOMACY

In reply to a question made in the
House of Commons a few days ago,
a Secretary for British Foreign Af-
fairs announced that Britain would
not consider restoration of diplo-
matte relations with Mexico until the
Mexican Government reconsiders its
latitude toward British oil proper
ties they appropriated"
Three weeks after the heizure of
$50 million dollars or British oil
properties in March 1893, the Brit
ish Government complained to the
Mexican Government that those ex-
preparations "on the grounds of pub
lie interests" were not in accordance
with the acts. and charged that "the
real motive" as shown by careful ex-
animation of the facts. was a po-
litical desOre to acquire for Mexico
in permanence the advantages of Ow-
nership and control of the oil fields;
that the appropriation was tanta-
mount to confiscatiOn carried out
under a veil of legality =. a denial
of justice and a transgression by the
Mexican Government Of the princi-
pies of International law" The Brit
ish Government suggested that 1t
could "see no way IN which this sit
uation can be remedied but by res
toration Of the properties" to their
lawful owners. II took only four
days for the Mexicans to reply.

WHAT war TO PROGRESss

Business leaders from all over the
country recently attended meeting
Of the U. S. Chamber Of Commerce
in Washington and they agreed upon
program that they believed to be
THE Right Road to Recovery" They
outlined an intelligent program
which they believed would improve
business conditions, expand employ
ment and enlarge the national In
come. The meeting was attended by
successful business men-many Of
them rich men. Il Is fair to pre-
sume they believe in the eapitalistic
system. AS Americans they are hon.
est enough to put their country's
interests above their own personal
concern If any of them failed to
possess that honesty they at least
believed that the country must pros
per first before they coEld hope to
gain prosperity. That is horse sense.
These men expressed themselves
in positive terms in saying that AM
erican business enterprise will re-
cuperate fully and meet all national
requirements If given clear road.
They very properly asked for the
elimination of restrictive measures,
that have Outrun the promised ex-
perimental period without very much
effect in reducing many national
emergencies.
The Labor Department of the Gov
ernment is very partisan to union la
bor. and no matter how much criti-
els may result. the loyalty of Sec
retary Perkins to its ethical program
is never questioned. The same 10y
atty should be expected from the
head of the Department of Com
merce. But Harry Hopkins at
press conference excorciated the
Chamber for what he called its de
featist" recovery program. He found |
II to be different from the fiscal pol
lev of the Government" and conse-
ouently he styled it as selfish. Mr..
Hopkins' talk to the press was un-
fortunate, and entirely contradictory
to his former plan for appeasement.
He is young, and lets hope for bet
ter Judgment for the tomorrow.

pay is a real and certain fact"
ThereupOn the British made it per-
fectly plain that His Majesty's Gov
ernment was intervening for the
shareholders of British nationality
who are the ultimate sufferers" and
that the question was essentially a
British interest" and that British
shareholders have no one to look to
for protection but their Govern
ment." That was an enunciation of
the established principle that guar
antees protection of British proper
ty rights under foreign skies.
For 90 days the notes flew thick
and fast. The British reminded Mex
leo that in the last quarter of CEN
tury British subjects have received
no interest in 20 of these years on
outstanding claims guaranteed by the
Mexican Government, amounting to
approximately 100000 (English)
pounds" Therefore, "the firm deter
of Mexico to pay for the
oil properties in 10 years was not
acceptable to the British diplomats,
who rather pOintedly indicated that
Mexico's position was bogus. II was
like an American sugges- !
ton to put up or shut up" Diplo-
matte relations were severed be- I
tween Great Britain and Mexico, be-
cause the latter Democracy had

cracy that refused to be fooled.

No traffic intersections.
Pedestrians will cross streets
above or below.
No traffic lights as neither vehicles
nor pedestrians will have to cross
intersections.
No parallel sidewalks on streets.
Pedestrian and vehicular traffic will
be entirely divorced.
Arrangement Of warehouses and
markets will enable products to be

Rural thoroughfares will light
themselves. upon approach of cars
by means of phOto-electric cells.
Polarfzed light or invisible glass
will eliminate headlight glare.
Garages will be placed under dwell
lings of all kinds. and employees in
Office buildings will have individual
