OBREGON SAYS CIVILIZATION IS AT THE CROSSPxOADS; URGES A LEAGUE OF THE AMERICANS 5- (Copyricht. ls21, by Edgar A. Guest.) WE NEED A REAL FOREMAN ON THE JOB THE following comment on affairs political and commercial, and which contains more truth than poetry, is from the Salem Capital Journal. Quotations of standard sticks on tho New York stuck exchange have dropped to the lowest level in 20 years and the market generally shows a collapsing tendency bringing ruin to thousands. And the stock panic follows Immediately after the adoption by congress of the fake resolution for sep arate peace with Germany, which accomplishes nothing but gratifies the sen ate cabal which rejected the peace treatvv Had the treaty of Versailles been ratified, and the peace of the world in sured, the industrial and economic crisis would long since have passed and Justness been on the mend. The probabilities are that the present low mar ket level would never have obtained. Liberty bonds, which President Hirdtng promised to restore to par. con tinue to depreciate to new low records, as a reward for patriotic sacrifice. Nothing has been done to maintain the credit of the bond issues, and no plan formulated for their restoration to par. The only action taken Is that of the federal reserve bank, which side-tracked them in favor of non-taxable se curities and these further depreciated them as collateral. The emergency tariff proposed as a remedy for the farmers' ills, is in ef fect. It includes a duty on cherries and yet cherries are selling at 4 cents a pound, or less than the tariff duty. I-ast year, without a tariff, cherries fcold for 14 cents. And other products besides cherries given protection in the emergency measure, continue to sell at less than cost of production, il lustrating the folly of the tariff cure-all. The white house passes reconstruction up to congress and congress has r.o remedy except the old tariff bunk of 30 years ago by which contributors tu the campaign fund are rewarded by protective duties on their manufac tures. , And the nation is left to drift from bad to worse with the peace of the world unsettled and foreign markets vanishing and taxation for mili tarism leading to bankruptcy. The chief trouble at Washington thus far has been lack of leadership. The president's views, as far as they have been made known, have usually been sound and broad. But he has not attempted leadership of the sort practiced by Wilson and by Roosevelt. The government needs a vigorous minded fore man, capable of shaping policies and driving them through. It is the president's natural task and it is a task that cannot be handled by any congressional soviet such as now seems to be running affairs. Congress is noted more for its incapacity than for its efficiency. It cannot even control itself. We are now hearing from various sources opinions to the effect the senate oligarchy has proven a failure at constructive work. We are going to hear that more and more unless there is a change in affairs. The president should assert himself before it is too late. 'No Nation Can Walk Alone,' Says Mexican President; 'Mexico Has no Grievances Against U. S.'

We Buy for Cash and Sell for Cash Sells Better Merchan dise at Lowest Prices WHY BUSINESS IS SLOW THE Chicago Tribune makes the following interesting com ment on the farmer and the business slump : Approximately half the population of this country lives nn the farms rr In rural communities Inimfd.ately dependent upon the farms. Half the normal buying power of the country, therefore, is on the farms. More than one-quarter of this buying power, or more than 12 per cent of the total buy ing power of the nation, has been wiped out entirely by -decrease in the value of farm products. Twelve per cent is probably above the average margin on bunauesii throughout the country. Itouglily. therefore, wc may say that all the normal margin of business has been destroyed by the sudden -decrease In value of farm products without Corresponding decrease In other commodities. Naturally business can hardly survive. The extent of the blow to the farmers and to those lines of business de Dendent noon the farmers te revealed in some Illuminating figures prepared by Prof. (J. F. Warren of the Xcw York State Agricultural college and in dorsed by the federal devilment of agriculture. He says the product of an ,,r n,o,.n ,1,1 thia vnr will brimr only CI uer cent of the Quantity of ceneral commodities that it would have brought as a five year average be fore the war. In spite of an exceptionally large yield of corn per acre last vear on aere's yield, if. sold this year, could be exchanged for only 73 per rent of the average quantity of other commodities that it would have brought as a five year average before the war. An acre of oats would buy 74 per cent of the usmil quantity of other things and a bushel of oats would buy 63 per cent, the least In fifty-five years. Wheat would lead with 81 per cent, the lowest in twenty yesrs. It la evident that the purchasing power does not exist to give employment to the wage earning population at the present rate of industrial production costs. This is made especially empltatic when it is remembered that nearly all the raw material indusyies are in virtually as bad a state of depression as agriculture. ' The remedy, according to the Chicago paper is to develop markets, both domestic and foreign. It contends that if de mand does not elevate the price of farm products the only al ternative will be to bring the price of manufactured products down to the level of the farmers' commodities. THE OTHER FELLOW AND HIS RIGHTS tions has already cleared away many misunderstandings. Neither the peo ple nor the government of Mexico have any grievances again.st either the people or the government of the L'nited States. "For ten years Mexico has suffered all the hardships of civil wars and revolutions. There has taken place a great spiritual and moral cleansing. though it has been terribly costly. Half a million of her sons have been killed, and much of her material pro perty and treasure have been wreck- i ed and ruined; f Protection is ;uara!itcl. Today Mexico Is ready to receive foreign investors anrl foreign settlers i and give full protection to their rights and properties. Claims for properly damages suffered during the revolution will be submitted, and a decree has already been issued fixing) a certain term for submission of these claims. Mexico has no desire or in tention to evade her responsibilities." The Mexican president then went on to say that Mexico is taking sli ps to meet her foreign financial obliga tions.

DOINGS OF THE DUFFS T N connection with traffic eases many unpleasant incidents 1 occur from lack of simple human courtesy on tne part 01 npiinlp. Thpre is the driver, for instance, who races swiftly along a street, blaring his horn at a pedestrian and laughing when the latter jumps to safety. Such a driver is always a prospective defendant in a manslaughter case and has no busi ness running a car. But insolence . not always at the wheel. The average motorist is considerate of others, having no desire to annov or endanger people., But such a driver often finds peo ple on foot who have little sense of caution and little courtesy. They make trouble and cause danger when there is no neces sity for it. If people, in cars or on foot, would think first of the other fellow and his rights there would be few traffic accidents and the world would be the happier. Deputy Uidgway himself appears to be fairly successful as Vv?s$ fer. -1 - i i WELL.
