Willis Thornton Editorial On:
The Good in a Bad Business

of which adopts the viewpoint of
past centuries, both of which cling
to the forwardlooking viewpoint
that there is better way than
force.
The controversy has now reached
this point: The oil properties have
been seized. No Mexican admin
istrtaion can go back on that-it
has become rightly or wrongly, a
point of national honor. The Unit
ed States comedies the seizure,
maintains the companies should be
paid. Mexico agrees.
Nobody has ever determined how
much should be paid, whether all
the potential value of oil beneath
the seized lands. or simply the value
of the physical investment Mexico
has no money to pay Immediately
in any event.
One of the two principal eXpro-
Driated companies is about ready
TO accept payment in oil. After all,
what would it have gotten if there
had been no appropriation? Oil.
II is all a question of how much.
and when, and how
Mexico needs moro capital, which
ii surely can not expect to get until
this matter is adjusted. The United
States needs all-Amcrican good
will: the Mexican case, rightly or
wrongly. is being used To block it.

stand to gain moro by settlement

Inc Mexican oil CXprOprlatlOn al
fair, returning TO deadlock after
two years Of Wraneling, may seem
diScouraeing.
But there are encouraging aspects
in it.
This thing is going to be settled,
and settled in a way that will give
substantial justice to both parties.
1t has taken ,.ma 1t will take more
time. Bat vii enough time is
taken. JAa. in 1t Elf augurs cyentful
justice.
Let us note two things:
First, the United States has res
Olutely refused to listen to hothcadS
who have maintained that The way
to settle controversy between a
couple of American oil companies
and the Mexican people is to march
in with the Marines. Germany
seized Austria, CzechoSlOVakia. PO-
land, Denmark, Norway, on far less
provocation. But the United States
is grimly determined to find bet
ter way.
Second, Mexico has at all times
shown Willingness to negotiate and
to pay proper idemnification, as she
can. and when it has been properly
determined. True, she refuses arbl
tration, but that is a technique.
The responsibility she accepts Rus
Sia did not even do this, rs we recall

dated without amy recourse the

IMPERIAL COUNTYS NEW
HIGHWAY COMMITTEE

The day has passed when one Imperial
county community will play dog-n-the-
manger i'm AN effort TO block the highway
development desires OF another commu-
nifty. sFAeA
That statement will be true-lf the
newly organized Imperial County I'M
fled Highway committee functions as II
should. and rs II most probably Will.
Ii is no eXapgeration Ia say that organ
ization of this committee Is the most I'M
portant move toward more and better
highways that has been made IN lmpe-
rial county in many years. The commit
tee represents every part of the county
every phase of opinion and every degree
of worthwhile experience. 1t is entitled
TO the wholehearted backing Of every
community, every chamber of commerce
and every municipal group in the county.
1t has been the sad fate of Imperial
county in the past that one community,
desiring to obtain an imagined advan-
tage over another. has often gone openly
or secretly to Sacramento, to San Fran
cisco or to other places of power to argue
in favor of It's own selfish desires and
TO oppose the desires of the other COM
munity.
The natural result has been that the
state highway commission, or other Off
Cial agencies. have seen in the obvious
lack of agreement a reason to withhold
great deal of money. Nor can the Off
cialS be blamed. They were given to un-
derStand. i'm some cases. that if they APP
propriatcd the money for one communi-
ty they would make undying enemies of
all persons residing in another. Most of
the time this has not been true-but how
could the state officials know that?
Now. through the unified highway com
mittec every community agrees to threSh
out its complaints NJ home, to settle in
ternal issues before they grow beyond
control. and in the end 10 decide upon a
program that VII have the support of
the entire cOuntN-Without dissent as far
aS state officials kroW If that agree
ment is maintained Imperial county's
share 81 state highway money will be a
lot larger in the future than it has been
in the past.
One thing remains. 1t is for the civic
and goyerrr,e. al agencies of the ounty
to supper b, ram mmttce-Which is made
up of rrpr.- ta,ive> from all of them.
If one Charfp.r r commerce, for in
stance. dos -, E,.e the program as
finally adrp'e4 - ne committee, il must
learn 10 swallow = dislike and maintain
silence If J. ID, not. the work of the
committee VIII be entirely nullified
After all. every improved road in I'M
peral county will help the whole county,
regardless where il is. Let's remember
that And let : remember. too. that only
in unity is there great strength. The
committee offers Us unity Of purpose,
unity of action and unity of development.
We shouldn't pass up the opportunity.

Census Questions 'Endonger
individuals Rights Says Tobey

Questions for the 1910 census on
American families finances and
other private affairs oendanger the
rights of the individual" and are
unjustified, Senator Tobey, Repub-
hcan, of New Hampshire charged
today.
He read in the Senate a letter he
sent to Secretary of Commerce Hop
kins calling attention to the like
lihood that census takers not only
will be members of one political
party and in most cases loyal party
workers, but also residents of the
communities they will work in.
Therefore" Senator Tobey wrote,
ut will be most embarrassing to the
individual, and a severe hardship, to
require him, as you do under the
QUESTIONABLE, to tell his neighbor who
is taking the census what salary he
is receiving and whether he has
received income of $50 or more from
sources other than money, wages or
salary.
I'm view Of the w. p. A. scandal
there are grounds for being appre-
hensive lest these politically-ap-
pointed census takers reveal this in
formation to their political bosses
and lest the political bosses take
political advantage Of the financial
plight Of the individual citizen.

Hearing Is Called
For Saturday Night
On D. T.. Institutions
House Group Hopes
Mrs. Roosevelt Will Be
Able to Appear Then

Hearings on conditions at several
District institutions recently the
subject of surprise visits and crit
icism by Mrs. Roosevelt will open
Saturday at pm. in the caucus
room of the Old House Office Build
ing in the hope that she will be able
to appear herself at that time as
the first witness.
An official invitation to Mrs Rooae-
welt was issued by Chairman
D,Alesandro of the Public Health
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee to describe at the hear
ings the conditions she found on
her trips to the District Home for
the Aged and Inflrm, the Receiving
Home for Children and the Indus
trial Home School,
Meanwhile, at the District Build
ing the Commissioners accepted re-
sponsibility for failure to seek funds
for new building and improved
services at the Receiving Home, but
promised to try to get the problem
before the congressional appropria-
tions committees.
Representative D'Alesandro said he
was anxious to have Mrs. Roosevelt
as the first witness at the hearing
because of her knowledge of the
three institutions.
Should Mrs. Roosevelt decide to
appear, it will be the first time the
wife of President has testified be-
fore congressional committee. She
attended several sessions of the Dies
committee last December, but only
in the role of spectator.
To Ask consideration"
While promising to ask congress
sional consideration of the problems,
the Commissioners did not 60 so
far as to suggest they would ask
funds for new Receiving Home,
deferring final commitment on that
point. The city heads are barred
by executive order from sponsoring

State Department officials told the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee today a further loan to Finland
through the Export-Import Bank
would not conflict with international
law under present conditions.
Emerging from the second day of

was the general attitude of the de-
partment, as presented by R. Walton
Moore, counselor, and Green H.
Hackworth, legal adviser to Secre-
tary Hull.
The committee adjourned at noon
without definite time for recon-
vening. Chairman Pittman, who
also is on the Judiciary Committee,
had gone with that group to attend

his home is mortgaged, and if so,
the amount of the mortgage, how
regularly he is making payments on
his mortgage and whether the mort
gage is held by an individual or

Earlier in the letter, the Senator
said that the Sheppard Senate cam

Senator Green Asks Probe
OF Wire-Tapping Activity
AZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Green, Democrat, of Rhode
Island, demanded today a Senate
committee investigate wire tapping
of public officials lines in Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Penn
sylvania.
Senator Green told the Senate
New York detective agency" had
"sent its agents to tap the wires of
elected public officials and private
citizens" in these States.
Within the past three months,
Senator Green said, telephone wires
leading into the home of the Mayor
of one of the largest cities in my
State have been tapped and also the
wires leading to the home and to the
State Office and to the private law
firm of the attorney general of Rhode
Island"
Besides wire tapping, Senator
Green said he had been informed
these agents have preyed upon re-
sponsible businessmen"
The wires to the home of Mayor
Thomas Mccoy of Pawtucket, r. l.,
were reported tapped last year.
