Captain Bone is well liked in lhese quarters, and counts among his inti- mate friends such authorities as William McFee and Christopher | Morley. One of Great Britain’s| most famous etchers, Muirhead Bone, is his brother. . . . But the! most fascinating item I know about | | him is this: he was a shipmate with | | | —Joseph Conrad. | | All the big passenger liners put into sumptuous piers on the Hudson, | or west side, of the Manhattan wat- | erfront. . . .

A few freighters |and fruit lines cater to an adven- | turous sort of passenger trade—peo- | ple who want to “slum it” on the | high seas, but the freighter business is largely based on bananas, ofl, | hemp, cocoa, and coffee, An interesting coincidence, if it IS ‘a coincidence—is the alignment of | the major foreign steamship lines |along the Hudson piers. The | British and French lines are side by side, just as they are, politically, in Europe, while a few steps away, |side by side, are the German and Ilalun lines.

A Mexican board of experts as- serted that the companies could pay more than they admitted. The board accused British companies jof siphoning profits into Canadian companies, Company compromise offers failed. Expropriation followed. There isn't enough free money in Mexico to pay for the oil com- pany investments unless the most extreme of Mexican views is ac- cepted. That is that the compa- nies already have earned many times what they have invested, so that little or nothing is owed for the costly plants. Since expropriation in 1938 all sorts of complications have arisen. Mexico isn't having too much suc- cess operating the wells. American and British refineries buy little Mex- ican oil. Many workmen are job- less. On the other hand, Germany is buying oil and filling Mexico full of German machinery and goods. The whole thing is bad for the good neighbor policy. Moreover, neither American officials or busi- nessmen want the Mexican expro- priation idea to set a precedent for the rest of Latin America. Every last one of those countries has a provision in its constitution permit- ting expropriations. Once out of hand it could go like a bunch of | firecrackers.
