Visitors to Mexico City complain that the police shoot
on too slight provocation. The Mexican newspapers echo
the complaint. They insist especially that the police quit
Hhootlng; at drivers . for violating the traffic laws. That
eeems to be a common practice. Not that anybody down
there objects especially to motorists getting shot. The
trouble is that Ithe police are such bad shots. Instead of
hitting the drivers who are running down pedestrians, they
usually hit the pedestrians. Several have been killed ro
cently In that way. The situation seems to, call for reform.
At the same time, it bespeaks a notable improvement in
Mexican conditions when the police have ho greater prove
cation for shooting than traffic offenses. . We seem to have
most of the bandits up here now.
i JUSTICE TO INDIANS.
The Pima Indians are in luck. Not such luck as has
come to the Osage tribe, through the discovery of rich oil
deposits on their, reservation, but possibly better. It is
luck in the form of justice.
v Uncle Sam, building the great Coolidge dam on the Gila
'v.er-il.-4l'lZpna,.lsgoinK..to.'use ,its wators- to irrigate
80,000 acres of rich land, of Which half will be cultivated
hy the Pima Indians. This will be the payment of an obli-
' tration incurred half a century ago when white settlers di
verted the water from the upper stretches of-the Gila and
so rendered baren those Indians once fertile fields. Tho
government promised them it would provide water, ond at
last the promise is in the way of fulfillment.' The tribe will
. have a rich area on which it can raise not only com and
beans but cotton, oranges, figs and dates.
V While Uncle is about it, perhaps he can find some other
tribes, now virtually starving on the unproductive areas to
which they have been driven, and do them belated justice
in some form or other.' Uncle Sam has enough on his con
science, as regards the Red Man, without standing idly by
nnd witnessing the extermination of any more Indian tribes.
A D1UED-UP PRESS.
"We will have dry newspapers," remarks II Tcvere,
Itoman Fascist organ, referring to the changes ordered by
Premier Mussolini in the Italian press. Not meaning non
alcoholic, but desiccated.
There will bo virtually no foreign news it is enough
for Italians to read of Italy. Sport, art, literature, court
news, especially criminal news in which the Italian public
has always revelled, will be gradually "dropped. The papers
Will all become little more than organs of the Fascist gov
ernment, or else go out of business. This latter alternative
Is encouraged. There is to be only one newspaper to a
province, explains Signor Turati, secretary of the Fascist
party. Personal journalism is doomed. j
v "I am determined," he says, "to destroy the innumerable
weeklies which, although dealing with national problems
Und spreading 'fundamental Fascist ideas, represent solely
the personal acidity and literary impatience of their edi
tors." They have no right to express any acidity and im
patience except those of Mussolini. "Some of our com
rades have already set n good example by suffocating their
Own creatures," he adds. "I will cite in an order or the
day those following this example."
So here is the end of a journalism never efficient, ac
cording to American standards, but until lately free and
democratic. American editors who have upheld Mussolini
nhd Fascism should now go to Italy for n career.
