k I Maybe the nations of Europe are all preparing, for an
other war, as u recent Londun dispatch says, but we know
; where they won't get the money to finance it. -'
;; .,, Brig, Gen. Andrews, commanding the federal prohibi
tion forces, says he expects to have the bootleg industiy
subdued within a year. Me ; bases , this , expectation on
strengthened personnel, larger appropriation, the coopera
tion he has been able to obtain from the British govern-!
ment m preventing liquor smuggling, greater authority
and responsibility on the part of district administrators
and better teamwork among the districts. In additioh ; to
this he needs a public that is concerned with strict law
observance which is now lacking. '..

j p MEXICAN COAL NATIONALIZED
;. ! The' Mexican government declares its coal deposits na
tional property. That is to say, it "natiomilizes" ' its coal,
:s Great Britain has talked vaguely of doing in the course
of its long mining war. Mexico recently made a similar
declaration regarding her petroleum. The new mining laws,
.on which the coal ruling is based, apply to 'all her mineral
.wealth.
; ; Thus the Mexican government takes another flyer i.i
t'conomic idealism and piles up additional trouble for itself

Naturally a howl will go up from them. The Mexican fo:'
'Cign office will have its hands rull, and our stale dopart
jmcnt at Washington likewise. It is believed that present
'ownership of such wealth by aliens will be recognized, ex
isting concessions being confirmed or having new ones
substituted for them, but the whole matter is still uncertain.
! it remains to be shown whether Mexico can oerate her
coal industry any more satisfactorily under government
ownership and control than Hie United States and Ureal
Britain have operated theirs under private auspices. If
she can, state socialism w ill become more respectable. Un
successful in many similar things, we entertain little hope
for her success at this.
