It is nearly seven months since the Mexican government seized the British and American-owned oil lands, and it is five months since Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Great Britain because the latter government insisted that stealing was stealing and that Mexico's irresponsible government was camouflaging its actions under the name of “‘expropriations. About sixty per cent of the hundreds of millions of dolJars worth of oil properties belonged to the British, and the London government went to the mat for their rights, and under all the principles of international law they are pretty like. ly to be in on the ground floor when the inevitable day of judgment arrives. . But our patient government has entirely failed to insist on the observance of international law ,and thereby protect huge American investments in Mexico. The, vast oil properties are not being properly cared far, and their real former owners are barred from the premises. As for visitors they are “not allowed.”’ ‘ “The stricken port of Tampico and the _ neighboring scene of an oil activity that once gave strength to the industrial life of Mexico, labor to many thousands of its citizens, taxes by the millions of dollars to its government and sent the useful product of these great wells into the world’s activities’ is going the way of ruin so fast, writes former U. S. Senator Henry. J. Allen, of Kansas, who has just returned from Mexico, that he believes “‘in a’ year the swift deterioration of incapable administration it will not be worth stealing.” The policies of our government toward oil development in foreign lands were established in the years when Woodrow Wilson was having trouble with Mexico; when Calvin Coolidge was urging American interests to go abroad with the support and encouragement of their government to develop new oil fields; when the Geological Survey was urging the pioneer spirit to lead American capital and engineering to seek new petroleum supplies for the ‘““America of tomorrow’; when the Federal Trade Commission and the Fuel Administration were emphasizing the importance of protecting American capital and workers in foreign oil fields; when all responsible parts of the United States government’ were encouraging plans to insure the oil supplies of the future through operations exactly like those in Mexico. As stated above, seven months have passed since Mexico stole the oil properties. Despite volumes of assurances— like the above few samples—that American property interests would be protected, the U. S. government has yet to send the first official note to the Cardenas government demanding payment, or return of the properties to our citizens. The tenor of opinion expressed by many leading editors of United States newspapers is that it is time to do something about it.—Contributed. : Cotton And The Carryover There is a surplus of 13 million bales of cotton. “Cotton Ed’ Smith headed a delegation from Southern states to Washington to ask that the rate of loans by the government be raised. The President wouldn’t see them. The. Agricultural Department thought the “‘peak’’ had already been reached. Secretary Wallace, in Texas, told about the further pos‘sibilities of using cotton for industrial purposes. Economists and industrialists, say that the “‘peak’’ cannot be expected to lift enough in a short time, to‘do much good. Subsidies to manufacturers, and gifts of cotton goods to the poor, and those on relief are suggested remedies. The suggestions are not new in meeting an “emergency.” The situation is very serious—and no one knows better than Secretary Wallace that the answer is still missing. Someway, somehow, the government treasury will have to get back of the cotton carryover, even if a new roof has to be put over the “peak’’ of loans.—Contributed. _ HIGHWAY DEATH TOLL DECLINES _. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 20.—A graphfe picture of traffic death reduction in California was presented today by ‘Ray Ingels, director of motor vehices, with the announcement that the total deaths for eight months. this ear is approximately the same as he total for seven corresponding months last year. he figures show 1,687 deaths Nevada County Photo Center » Portraits, Commercial Photography, 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, «Enlarging and Framing, Kodaks and Photo Supplies “.

Accidents on rural highways under control of the California Highway Patrol have declined ‘sharply with 852 deaths for the first eight months of this year.

Tobiassen et al awarding the plaintiff $15,435 for losses sustained by. them in the fire of 1936. The notice of appeals states that the verdict is against law, and not supported by the evidence. It also alleges errors of law occurring at the trial. RIDGE PLACER .
