He now fills Mr. Sheffield’s place - in Mexico City with a man whn is nmeither a Devoting his speech last Saturday ight be- fore the annual meeting of the American Red Cross almost exclusively to the recent Mississippi Valley flood, that such a situation may never again have to bej met.” “In the solution,” he added, “we shall advance our system of inland waterways.” This was the extent to which the President discugsed future governmental policy with regard to the flood problem. He made no direct refer- ence to probable Congressional action, ed specific predictions as to what rlluu]l] be done. Out of the affliction and suffering caused by the Mississippi flood, Mr. Coolidge believes, new lessons of sanitation and health have been learned so that the catastrophe may prove a blessing in disguise . The land of the flooded area, he added, has been enriched by deposits of river mud, the farm- ers have been supplied with a better quality of seed and their buildings have been replaced with Jnew structures hetter than the old. “These ad vantages will remain,” he declared. Complimenting those most actively concerned with relief for the flood sufferers, the President mentioned specifically the services of Secretary Hoover, James L. Feiser, Acting Chairman of the Red Cross, and Major General Jadwin, Chief of Army Engineers. “The story is one of the fine chapters in Am- erican history,” Mr. Coolidge said, “a record of generous response to a call for funds, of the high devotion to duty of those engaged in sav- ing life, and relieving distress, and of endurance and courage shown by the people of the siri area. The North and the South have been D closer together in the bonds of sympathy understamling. The heart of an empire nation| has been quickened.” Recalling that the flood enlisted the assist- ance of more Government departments than any previous disaster the President declared that the relief work was so well designed and carried out that by July 12 headquarters could once more be removed to Washington. He added: The people of the South are the-most appreciative of the assistance given to their stricken States. In my capacity as President of the United States, and as head of the American Red Cross, T wish to extend the highest commendation and the thanks of the country to the mem- bers of the Cabinet, to all Goverment officials and employees, to the officers and staff of the Red Cross, to the thou- sands of volunteers, and to other persons and agencies for the unselfish contribu- tion of time and substance to this great humanitarian work in the Mississippi Valley. But, in our admiration for the stupendous work done there, we must not forget that the Red Cross organi- zation has functioned efficiently through- out the year in every, emergency call and in all of its regular activities. Much glory has been added to our Red Cross emblem. More and more it is coming to be recognized universally as the symbol of love, sympathy any char- ity for all those in suffering and dis- try Its benign influence reaches out to touch and soften our daily lives, dis- pelling envy and malice, o that we think less of self and more of others, bringing more of peace on earth and good will toward men.

(New York World.) The appointment of Dwight Morrow as Ambas- eador to Mexico comes as further proof, in our judgment, of a desire on Mr. Coolidge's part to get our relations with Mexico as nearly right as takes leave of public office.

The appointment of Mr. Morrow has been criticised by Senator Reed and Senator Caraway on account of his associa- tlon with the house of Morgan. Doubtless there will be more such criticism later. Doutbless there will be a good deal to be said of it. For our own part it is enough to say at this stage that we regard Mr. Morrow's appointment as definite evidence of a desire on the President’s part to clean up a mess for which he really has no liking. steadily increasing drift toward coneiliation nnrl a steadily increasing file of evidence to prove that a quarrel is unnecessary.
