In any event, say the federal ex
war Is a more or less iwrpetual perls, the actors and acrtesses will
nf.'air in Mexico. Tlu-re are definite lil to pay whatever financial
social reasons why this fs true.
Conditions there hark back to the
middle ages.
The average condition of life for
the masses In Mexico is so painful
as to foster the Idea that war
couldn't be much worse than peace.
At least, it breaks the monotony of
poverty and oppression and offers
the possibility of loot and tempo
rary gratification.
It enables the poor peon to In
tlu'ge In (!"Iu:;fnns of grandeur,
even IT I.!;-, delusions end in death.
yHAT, fundamentally. Is why
war was so prevalent In the
earlier centuries of the world. For
the common man, it was a roman
tic interlude in a life of deadly dull
ness and suppression. He welcomed
it, more or lens; much as a. man
with the toothache welcomes any
sort of action which enables him
to forget his pain.
Conditions today, on the aver
age, are reversed. In the more en
lightened countries, there is liberty
and freedom of action for the im!l
lldunl, and a general high level of
comfort and happiness in peace.
War Is a reversion to tyranny. It
Is deadly and dirty and altogether
terrible. It Is something to be
avoided. If possible.
'T'lIKSr; changes In the funda
mental conditions of average
living, even more than confer
ences for the limitation of arma
ments, have a tendency to put an
end to war. or at leant to make
war less frequent.
Put in Mexico these changes
have not been operative, or at the
most they have been operative to
a comparatively slit-lit degree. The
common man there is still down
trodden and put upon. His daily
life is a dull level of monotony. He
is alv.ays Just one jump ahead of
starvation.
So in Mexico war I not a mon

OIL CONSERVATION
POLICY OF FEDERAL
GOVT. VERY BROAD
WASHINGTON. Mar. 13.After
a conference today with President
Hoover. Senator Walsh of Mon
tana expressed his belief that the
administration's oil conservation
policy is much broader ln Bcope
than w as assumed upon Its dis
closure yesterday at the White
House.
The senator said the president's
program contemplated the grant
ing of leases to holders of oil
prospecting permits only In those
cases where the permit ees have
M made reasonable expenditures In
drillng wells.
There are .Ili.tMHl permits affect
ing the public domain now out
standing and the percentage of
the holders who have made such
reasonable expenditures as con
teinplsted tinder the general leas
ing is believed to be rather small.
The policy of the administration,
as Senator Walsh now understands
it, alsfi contemplates no leases of
land adjacent to that which may
be leased to prospectors who
strike oil. The senator holds that
the act of April. l!2o, contemplat
ed the leasing of such lands so as
to bring about the development of
fairly large fields In each case.
As a further meaaure of con
serving the government oil in the
ground, the administration will
grunt leases for the drilling of off
set wells on the public domain to
prevent drainaice of government oil
through wells on adjacent terrl-
tory.

Company's Own Agreement
Is Based on Six Hour
Test Against Heat
and Tools.
Failure of the JhII Installed ln
file new court house by the South
ern Prison company to withstand
the 6 hour security test provided
in the specifications may result
in the rejection of the cell front,
requiring the installation of an en
tire new set of bars for the main
cages.
The specifications provide that
the steel bars used til the main
cell front must he equal in hard
ness to the sample I mulshed by
the company In submitting Its bid

and hacksaw blades. Carl I.un

way out of (lie cages in less than
5 hours, removing bars from two
of the panels.
It is customary with the South

have been placed, to subject the
jail to the test provided for In the
contract. This Is made as a puir
lic test and demonstration and is
used to display thu complete se
curity which these jails are sup
p'wed to give.
This Is I he first time, according
to Wm. Itartletl, the foreman, thul
the burs have ever been cut.
The inch ami a quarter bars
used In the cell front are of ex

steel. supposedly of sufficient
hardness to withstand hacksaw
blades for a period of six hours or1
more, the test alfo permits heat

if desired.
