But more than that the whole tribe of fishermen gain in reputation. All along they have been telling their friends how cagey fish are and what skill and cunning it takes to hook them.

It is now an- nounced that only those will be allowed to come home who have not grown accustomed to the higher stan- dard of living in the United States. They would only become a nucleus of d ntent in Mexico. A university survey of living standards among Mexican families of the working class in San Diego made some time around the year 1930 showed a level of comfort well above the average for government employees and middleclass citizens in Mexico at that time.

Pending arrangements for the next world peace and disarmament conference, which from present in-| dications may be a while distant, Walter Blaufuss, the | veteran song writer, reasons that the spirit of camara- | derie which flows from the strains of “Sweet Adeline” could sweep aside national differences. He might have something there, at that. But it would take an awful lot of “* * * for thee I pine”-ing before the job was complete.

PANAMA'S EXTRA LOCKS A quarter of a century has passed since the Pana- ma Canal was opened. The anniversary is celebrated not by peaceful jubilation but by military preparation, unfortunately necessary in a world armed to the teeth. A law has been passed which calls for the building of a new set of locks at some distance from the old. It is true that the canal is now used annually by vessels ca ing well over 28,000,000 tons. But its full capacity of 70,000,000 will not be reached until 1960, ac- Senator Vandenberg assures us that he has no presidential aspirations whatever, but that he hopes to meet whatever responsibilities may develop.
