Editorial Correspondence
Mexico City, April 15-Memorlal services for President Roose
velt are being held here today. Yesterday most of the important
stores closed, Including the famous Sanborn's, while flags on all
official buildings are at half-mast. Many night clubs closed, and
even at the race track and ball park, the crowds row and with
bared heads, Joined in silent and prayerful tribute to the great
and beloved President Roosevelt." Nothing like this, they say, has
ever been seen in Mexico before. We doubt If it has occurred before
In history one nation declaring three days of mourning for the

Roosevelt was the first American President to really visit Mexico,
to go out of his way to make friends with Mexico, and we believe,
to understand Mexico mat is,
Whether the idea originated
former Secretary Hull, the policy of his administration toward
Mexico has been based upon a realization of the wrongs done
Mexico In the past, and a sincere desire to treat Mexico not as an

had not been respected in the past, but were to be In the future.
The Mexicans are a sensitive, proud people had Roosevelt never
been associated with reforms dear to the heart of the Mexican
masses, such a policy would have endeared him to Mexico, and
the Mexican people.
Regardless of politics and we opposed Roosevelt for both a
third and fourth term wa have had a feeling of genuine pride and
gratification the past few days that a president of our country
should be so highly regarded and sincerely mourned by the citi
zens of another country. The ultimate place President Roosevelt
will occupy must be left to the verdict of impartial history, but
we do believe there is no doubt of this no President, with the
possible exception of Woodrow Wilson, has been held so highly
in the esteem of the outside world as Franklin Delano rtooseveu.
A little hill town called Taxco pronounced Tass-op has
taken the place of Cuernavaca as the popular resort town since we
were last here. And deservedly, for It Is not only unspoiled and
un-touristy, as was true of Cuernavaca 15 years ago, but It has
one of the most charming little inns, stuck high up on the side of
a hill like a swallow's nest, your correspondent has ever seen.
Taxco Is also built on one of the largest silver mines in Mexico
and is the center of the silver craft. Anyone who has been In
Mexico will agree that means it Is a very busy place. But Taxco's
latest distinction is her selection, as an American art center, and
if one cares to browse around the narrow crowded streets two
burros can hardly pass without Jamming in some of them excel
lent pictures, oil, water color, etchings and what have you can be
found. Like all Mexican villages Taxco has a square and a market
place and a terra cotta tumble-down cathedral. We were amused
to see a weather beaten lithograph near the cathedral announcing
the appearance soon of Mickey Rooney In a "Yankee at Eton"!
e
Speaking of Mexican movies, the prize winning Blng Crosby In
"Going My Way" Is still playing down town here, and has been for
over a month. From the posters in front you would never recog
nize Blng he has been made around six feet tall, with a lean,
bronze Spanish face, dark eyes and a soulful look beneath a huge
caption announcing "EL BUEN PASTOR1"
But Cuernavaca, where we stopped en route, Is Just another
swank tourist resort place now. The Borda restaurant with its
beautiful gardens and Queen Carlotta "swimming pool" is no more
there are score of fine hotels, golf courses and tourist shops,
now making a specialty of non-rationed footgearl
Oh well, It is still attractive attractive enough for Mrs. Mor
row to buy another large estate there (which she left only a few
days ago) -but It Isn't the Cuernavaca of 15 years ago it Is more
a- sort of Mexican Tuxedo park today the simple native, unas
suming touch has gone.
And with real regret we must demote Xochlmtlco also from
the place It held on our first visit. Everyone told us there was
nothing doing out there except Sunday, so we devoted our last
Sabbath to the floating gardens the gardens which supply Mexico
City with vegetables and flowers, and where the Indians still own
their own land and no one can take It from them. The little
Indian boys were as amazing as ever and the round-faced,-pink-cheeked
little Indian girls also ditto the flowers and colerful
corsage bouquets but
The moment one arrived the vendors and the hucksters started
In to try .to sell post cards, lace, serapes, cheap leather hand-bags,
tin-types, corn-on-the-cob, crowding and Jostling one about there
was no escape In a boat another boat locked with ours, urging
more pictures, guitar serenades, spray bouquets it was a .bedlam
and a mess!
Here's tip to prospective visitors to Mexico City. Go out to
Xochimllco any day BUT Sunday. In other words, go out when
there IS nothing doing nothing but the flowers and the canals
and the boats and the husky little Indian boys and the pretty
Indian girls, and there are no tourists within 3000 mllosl For it
Is naturally a very beautiful, colorful and unusual nart nf Mpxlrn
nd If it had not been cheapened and commercialized would
stiu De one of the major attractions down here.
e e e
And that little Indian boy who poled our canoe all over the
canals, neyer stopping to ease his arms or get his breath. And how
old do you think he was? FOURTEENI And his papa met him
when we came back and scolded him for something and the boy's
face puckered up and he was about to cry. But ha didn't. We
gave him an extra peso to cheer him up, but that didn't either.
Talk about child laborl These Mexican Indians start to work
as soon as they can walk and it is no easy work either. The girls,
too. We have seen at least a thousand Indian girls not over 10
years of age, carrying and tending their baby sisters or brothers
packing them about, when they should be In school learning how
to read and write.
But that Is one thing the 1910 revolution aeeomnlished for
Mexico better education. In fact, Just how red Mexico is we
could not say as yet but one thing it has borrowed from Soviet
Russia is all to the good, and that is the fight against disease and
Illiteracy. There Is still much to be done but there is far better
health and far better schooling in Mexico than there was 18 years
ago and Is there anything more important, really, for any na
tion than better health and better education. If there is wa can't
think what it might be at the moment.

dog-and-monkey circus comes along, and a smudge faced man in

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
San Francisco, April 24
Russia's excuse for at first de
ciding to send an inferior rank
ing diplomat to
this world con
ference was
neyer made
public, but it
was passed prl
vately and of
ficially to Mr.
Roosevelt and
State Secretary
Stettinlus. The
kremlln point
ed out to them
Paul Mellon that Molotov
was not only
the foreign minister in the Soviet
setup but the second man of the
Stalin government. Stalin well
knew the conference probably
would last a couple of months
instead of the advertised four or
five weeks, and he said he could
not spare Molotov from his side
for so long a period Just at the
critical time of victory in Eu
rope, and because his govern
ment Is desperately short-handed
on diplomats.
When he took this position,
Churchill also assumed it and
said he could not spare his for
eign minister Eden either.
MOW it has been assumed Mr.
' Truman caused Stalin and
Churchill to change their minds
later about the necessity of send
ing their top-ranking men to this
meeting. This is not true.
Actually, Mr. Roosevelt got
Churchill to change before his
death, or his state secretary
Stettinlus-did. Several days be
fore Eden's coming was made
known, Churchill had been per
suaded to send him.
. No announcement was made.
however, and Eden came over
to the funerals and proceeded
to San Francisco as if he had
expected to come all along. An
nouncements of the matter were
smothered and deliberately
made obscure In order that the
change not be conspicuous.
After Mr. Roosevelt's death,
Stettinlus and Truman decided
to send a personal message to
Stalin asking him also to recon
sider and send Molotov, and
their stratagem worked. Stalin
may well have reasoned the
changes forecast bj Mr. Roose
velt's death and the coming of
Mr. Truman might well Justify
the long sacrifice of his right
hand man In order to establish
fresh contacts.
MOW, I have learned on un-
' questionable authority that
Stalin did not present in this
case any position against small
nations. Indeed, I am told, that
in none of the previous Amer
ican negotiations with Russia,
has she offered such a course
as representing officially her
policy. Neither has Churchill
gone that far.
At the same time, both have
said by every action, if not by
word, that they expect the Big
Three to run the world. This
attitude has not startled our
principals apparently. ,
The Big Three control not
only the military but the indus
trial power of the postwar world.
Russian emphasis has been on
this point in all dealings, al
though she has presented no
concrete propositions on it. Her
Idea is that no matter what is
done otherwise, the Big Three
necessarily must control any
way. She seems to say:
"We have the power and we
will use it in the interests of
the small nations; no assump
tion of position In the matter Is
necessary."
fVUR principals have been In
cllned to accept this as true,
yet in the case of Poland, the
Balkans, and indeed every small
nation, we have pursued the
cause of democratic freedom
for small nations In contrast to
Russian action Inclined to fold
them under her wing.
I .can report further that
American officialdom has seen
no evidence that the British
have been drawn any closer to
the Russian Idea of under-the-wing
liberty for small nations
