Mexico Seizes
The action of Mexico in seizing the properties of foreign
oil companies is just a fresh extension of its policy of confis
cation. Large landholdings in certain states have previously
been expropriated and cut up for peasants to farm under gov
ernment supervision. Seizure of the oil properties might have
occurred earlier save for the dependence of the government
on heavy oil taxes. When the companies suspend the taxes will
cease. The government will probably try to run the wells; but
" the chances are there will be little left for the government
when the workers draw their wages. The treasury needs
these tax revenues badly, because the farm program has not
been going very well, what with poor weather last year in the
crop season, and unwillingness of the Mexicans to produce
more crop than they need for their own keep.
The immediate cause of the
the companies to pay the wage
ernment. They said they couldn
workers struck, ejected foreign employes, and the government
took possession. This will hardly be the last chapter, however.
The British and the Dutch will not take such a proceeding
lying down ; and that will force this country to move as well.
V . The Elementary School Supervisorship
Respecting the value of the position of elementary school
supervisor, which was put in jeopardy through a recent mo
tion by Director Cupper to eliminate the position, one may
.very appropriatelyelate the

sthere were 46 teachers in grades one to six and about 2000
students. The enrollment as of last June was over 2600 with
'71 teachers. The very mathematics demonstrates the increas
ing rather than diminishing need of supervision. If supervi-

must be needed now. -

years; they have changed and been amazingly improved.
There is continuous effort to improve the methods, and it is
lithe special assignment of the supervisor to encourage such
progress. Perhaps the greatest change is in taking care of
children below the "bnghr or

In the Salem schools the

remarkable woman:
she lived a blameless
and an eternal life here:
V
Mrs. Charles A. Park, whose
earthly pilgrimage ended at her
home in Salem on Tuesday last,
was a remarkable woman. She
ived on this earth a blameless
and part of an eternal life.
She did not merely believe her
life was eternal; Bhe KNEW It;
was so positive of it that she was
happy in the last period of her
temporary stay in the earthly pe
riod of it. Joyful that the time
here was near its close. She was
anxious to be on the other side.
She went into eternity with a
smile on her face the smile of
confidence she had worn in all her
earthly years.
S
A great and cherished Salem
friend, a woman who had known
her intimately and loved her pas
sionately, refused to go to see her
in death she conld not bear to
view the beloved face without the
smile of sympathy and of poal-
tiveness that . betokened her un
shakable faith.
The writer has known only one
other person who, to his positive
knowledge, had such absolute
faith, such sincere calm. She was
also a woman hia maternal
grandmother. '
Mrs. Park was born Mary Eliz
abeth Wallace, daughter of James
M. Wallace, who came to Salem in
1891 to perform the offices of ex
ecutor of the estate of his brother,
R. S. Wallace, who had died here.
R. S. Wallace was the father of
our Paul B. Wallace, Salem, so
Mrs. Park was his cousin.
es M. Wallace had been liv
ing, a business leader, at Greeley,
Colorado. Mary Elizabeth Wal
lace . had there been married to
James McCreery. who lived only
three years. So when she came to
Salem with her father she was a
widow. She was married to
Charles A. Park in 1895. He died
some years ago.
S S
David Wallace, a brother of
J. M. and R. S. Wallace, was the
father of John F. Wallace, the
great American civil engineer. He
was the first engineer of the Pan
ama canal; started the work on
that gigantic project. In 1904. He
had been assistant engineer on
the upper Mississippi and the
Rock Island improvements, and
had charge of major railroad
building projects. In those years,
he visited his cousin, R. S. Wal
lace, in Salem.
Both William Raney Harper
and bis wife were second cousins
of Mrs. Park. Dr. Harper was the
great president of Chicago univer
sity, who put that institution on
the map; it is now one of the lead
ing educational institutions of the
world.
V V
.Mrs. Park and Mrs. James Pat-
ton, in their girlhood days In Chi
cago, were inseparable friends;
formed attachments that were
lasting. "Jim" Patton was the
celebrated wheat king of the Chi
cago market.
Mary Elizabeth Wallace was a
member of and worked in the
United
Presbyterian church of
Chicago.
In that chirrch she be

to within a comparatively short
time ago, when physical handicaps
made this impossible. For months
and years, when she conld no long
er be at her accustomed place in
the First Presbyterian Sunday
school of Salem, she had members
of her class come to her home
where she taught them, and where
she radiated influences that will
last throughout the years; into
the unlimited vistas of eternity.
S
Mrs. Park was so positive in her
Christian faith that-she was anx
ions to share it with her friends;
with all persons she encountered.
She was a quiet evangelist, and
the influences she radiated helped
many people to enter upon ca
reers of greater usefulness.
In the years of her young wom
anhood she traveled widely; went
to see the pathways Jesus of Naz
areth walked while He went about
doing good.
m W
She ever moved in a circle of
eulture and labored for the uplift
ing or her neighbors. She obeyed
all the Commandments, including
the Eleventh, "Love one another,
Chicago is a better city because
she lived there; and Colorado and
Oregon better states for the influ

By DOROTHY
Now or Never!
Yesterday Cordell Hull, the
American secretary of state,
made a momentous pronounce
ment on Amer
ican foreign
policy. ..
It i was cau
tiously couched
in d 1 p 1 omatic
language, but
its meaning is
clear to all who
read it care
fully. It repudiates
the don trine
Dorothy Thorn p of , isolationism
which: lies behind America's neu
trality legislation.
It declares that wars any
where in the world inexorably
affect the United States in our
most vital interests.
It asserts that Tespect for
treaties and regard for interna
tional law are and hare been
consistently the bases of Ameri
can foreign relations, and that
these bases presume that we as
sume full responsibility. .
It denies that this country
can exist under its present form
of government, as a fres de
mocracy if the present anarchy
and resort to violence continue
in the world, and we attempt to
isolate ourselves.
"The momentous question is
whether the doctrine of force
shall become enthroned once
more and bring in its wake, in
exorably, international anarchy
and a relapse into barbarism, or
whether this, and other peace
ful nations, fervently attached
to the principles which underlie
international order, shall work
unceasingly singly or in coop
eration with each othr as
circumstances and enlightened
self-interest may dictate to
promote and preserve law, order,
morality, and justice as the un
shakable bases of civilized in
ternational relations."
Everybody in the United
States who agrees with this
speech ought to make himself
vocal within the next twenty
four hours in messages to his
congressmen and senators, be
cause for a year and a half con
gress, like the people of the
United States, has been confused
about what has been going on
in the world.
The passionate desire of this
people for peace has led us to
take measures which, today,
have demonstrably been against
the interests of peace. While we
have talked about the preven
tion of war, and while we have
talked about the prevention of
war, and while we have moral
ized, war has began. The ques
tion is no longer whether there
will be war. There Is war. It is
already world-wide in its scope.
That its. technique has not been
that of a general conflagration,
breaking simultaneously as the
war did In 1914, is beside the
point. There are half a billion
people in the world actually fight
ing at, this moment. Last week,
seven miljoi people, by a front
al assault, were absorbed in. the
territory of another country. The
purpose 'of that absorption is to
add to the man-power and to fur
nish a strategic base for further
aggression.
The German government will
next offer an ultimatum to
Czechoslovakia That ultimatum
will resemsnte the Austrian ulti
matum ich. although complied
with, was followed by invasion.
It will demand the reorganiza
tion of the Czech government in
order to de-centralize and weak
en It. It will demand the. abro
gation of the Czecho-French-So-viet
pact made tor the protection
of this state. It will demand the
"liberation" of the German
speaking citizens of Czechoslo
vakia. If the ultimatum lis com
piled with, the Germans will send
a force in to organize German
nazis in Czechoslovakia and will
use the inevitable disorders aris
ing from such an invasion to
conquer the country. If the ul
timatum is opposed, conquest will
be attempted in aome other man
ner, and in eithar event we shall
either have a successful coup
d'etat on the Austrian model or
war capable of involving all Eur
ope. The Czechs are fortified on
the border facing Germany. They
are unfortified on the bordsr fac
ing Austria. The Germans al
ready have an army In Austria.
Bratislava, the Czech-Austrian
frontier post, is one hour and a
half by motor front' V I e n-n a .
There are adequate munitions
plants In Austria to supply such
a German army.

THOMPSON
It is impossible to believe that
Mussolini has agreed to relin
quish all E u r o p e east r.f the
Rhine to Hitler, except in return
for active assistance in the Med
iterranean. The key to the con
quest of the Mediterranean is
Spain. An Italian army of occu
pation in Spain will be at the
back of France. Although Franco
has a Maginot line against Ger
many the frontier on Spain is
unfortified, and submarine and
air bases in Spain and the Ba
learic islands can cut France off
from her colonies in North Af
rica, and from the man power
and resources which .they offer
her.
If the Italians are s ccessful,
France will be surrounded on
three sides by the Fascist powers '
andvposlbly cut off from access
to North Africa.
This must inevitably mean eith
eh war Involving Fra: ce, and
therefore Great Britain, or a
peace dictated from Berlin and
Rome, before a war. Such a peace
would mean the end of French
democracy and the rule of all
Europe by fiscist military collec
tivism. This will net happen. Pefore
it happens there Will be war.
That things have come to such
a pass can be attributed directly
to the faltering weakness of the
British, French and American
foreign policies. In the face of
what has been a clear menace
for the past five years, we passed
in 1936 a neutrality act, which
in Spain, has actually operated
to aid the aggressors, and had it
ever been applied in the farea$t.
would have operated to aid Japan
there. And It leaves u- in a thor
oughly ambiguous position visa-vis
Europe, Worse than that it
gave notice to the world in a
most critical moment of some
thing Intrinsically false and mis
leading: namely that the United
States would not act anywhere
outside Its own borders to pro
test its own most vital interests.
Largely because of America's
ambiguous isolationism, Great
Britain adopted an isolationist
policy toward Europe, exclusive
of France and the low countries,
and the result ot British isola
tionism is before our eyes.
The basis of our policy has been
the widespread belief of our pop
ulation that war and anarchy
outside of the United States
would not be disastrous for us.
But the continuation and ac
celaration of the present condi
tion of anarchy will destroy the
American economy and bankrupt
all free governments.
Ever since the invasion of Aus
tria, a few days ago, panic
stricken capital from all the coun
tries or the world has been flow
ing Into New York. Share and
commodity markets all over the
world are fluctuating in the wild
est manner. The normal course
of business Is choked and, ob
structed. One day a country ex
ists and the next day it disap
pears. Contracts have been made
in its currency and that currency
suddenly no longer exists. " No
where on earth can men make
contracts involving international
trade with the certainty that they
will be carried out. Great gov
ernments are bankrupting them
selves in the Impossible effort to
pay their international debts,
meet the social services demand
ed by their citizens, and main
tain a staggering burden of arm
aments. It takes no prophet, therefore,
to predict that this Impossible
situation if continued must re
sult in the bankruptcy and col
lapse of all governments except
the dictatorships.
They will not. In my opinion,
collapse immediately from inter
nal economic reasons, because
they have already cut themselves
off from International economic
repercussions, tn the only way in
which a nation can thus cut it
self off: by changing their whole
populations into a soldiery and
slaves who support th3 soldiery.
One of four things can happen:
1: There will be a genera! war,
or a continuation of sporadic
wars in which we do. not become
directly involved, that will bring
about the collapse of our econ
omy and force upon us an eco
nomic dictatorship at home, in
which case the system of civiliza
tion is finished.
2. There will be a war in
which we are all engaged, in
which case this system of dvili
zation 4s finished.
3. There will be a gradual con
quest of the world by Germany,
Italy, and Japan. If they win,
we will be alone against the
world, facing three strong em
pires on the march.
4. There will be a prolonged
attrition of all economic 1 fe in
the midst of civil war and inter
national violence, in which case
all civilization is finished.
Eighty per cent of the power,
national resources and man-power
ot the world is nevertheless in
the bands of the Un'ted States,
and the British, French and
Dutch empires plus Scandinavia
and Belgium. These couittrief
want peace, Internationa trade
and a chance gradual to'adiust
their fcocial and economic orders
to twentieth century conditions.
But eighty per cent of p.-wer
is no earthly sood unless its
owners are prepared to use it.
nor does it do any good to ac
cuse the dictators of being med
men. If they are mad. there is con
sistency and method In their
madness, which is more than can
be said of the sanity of the rest
of the world. In f contest be
tween twenty per cent Of organ
ized madmen and eighty per cent
of disorganized paralytics the
madmen will win.
If this analysis If correct, or
even approximately correst. then
there la only one thin that can
be done and done now. And that
is to declare ourselves.
To declare: That the fate of
J free governments, frea Institu
tions and tne ireeaom or tne
seas and the air for . peaceful
trade is not a matter of lnd'tfer
ence to the United States of
America. --
