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.

the district court of appeal from the
jury’s verdict in the case of Carl J.
Tobiassen et al awarding the plaintiff $15,435 for losses sustained by.

IN “THE CROWD ROARS”
Robert Taylor drives many’ miles
out of his way to patronize a Holly.
. wood drugstore. As the store’s best,
customer, he is paying back a debt.
‘Several years ago, when he was Ar‘ington Brugh, Taylor breakfasted at
' the drugstore’ on his way to the
‘studio. Ofter short of funds he sign'ed the checks. Taylor, who is now
starring in “The Crowd Roars’,
coming Sunday to ‘Nevada Theatre,
was then getting started at MetroGoldwyn-Mayer. He redeemed the
checks from his first movie salary.
The clerk who befriended Taylor still
has several of the checks; marked,
“Paid, Arlington Brugh.”
