Then, he met his fate, when he fell in love with one of its daughters. They were married, and are living at« this ‘very -moment, their “happily every afterwards” in England. The Englishman is R. H. K. /Marett, who is the author of a ‘book entitled “An Eye-Witness of Mexico”. By way of auto- biography he relates how he and |the lady whom he later married were held up one night on a country highway, Bright head- lights of automobiles interferred, and Marett promptly obeyed or- ders to turn his car across the road and block the traffic. This stopped twenty other cars whose occupants were robbed. The bandits forget to rob Marett. Another thrilling human inter- est account concerns an Easter- day gathering at the hacienda of Mrs. Marett’s parents, who are an old: Spanish family. It was a glorious family reunion but there .was the incident of the presence of an armed guard at the en- trance. .The guests thought it might be a social gesture, but after they reutrned home they were to learn that. the hacienda was being expropriated by the Government that day, but that the owners of the property care- fully concealed that fact» from ‘their guests. The author of “An Eye-Wit- ness” worked most of the} seven years that he was in Mexico for English owners of mining, rail- road, and oil properties, until | after the. oil confiscations of | March, 1938, demoralized Mexi- can industry, which sank to such low levels that Marett decided that he could no longer “make a living” there. Returning to Eng- land he was surprised to find how well known he was, owing to his correspondence printed. in the London Times. He was bom- batded with the question: “What really is happening in Mexico?” Already he was the author of a book on Mexican antiquities, and he decided to supplement it Virginia Cobbler POTATOES, 10 Ibs.

The book has just come from the Oxford University "| Press, and author Marett ob- ‘serves as “an eye-witness” that ‘the great difficulty rests in the fact that “Mexico still lives in the atmosphere of the sixteenth century. . .her seizure of the oil properties is the, first triumphant act of piracy of her Elizabethan era”. A few paragraphs in the book follow: “The first reactions. .of -Wash- ington were curiously indeterm- inate. . Indeed there were not a few critics of American policies who held that a tactful word of warning from the Ambassador in the days before the expropria- tion was decreed would have averted the catastrophe”. “The British lion was roaring lustily. . .the Mexican Govern- ment could merely rebut the British, assertion, vigorously denying that the expropriation had had a political character. The Mexican Minister of Marine rushed to the Presidential Palace with the terrific news that a British fleet was bearing down ‘Fear not’, said the alarmed minister, ‘the entire British Navy cannot turn us from our course. When the fleet ar- tives in Mexican waters, we shall expropriate it too’.” “Clearly, diplomacy having | conspicuously failed”, says Ma- | rett, adding: “In view of the Holtsberg’'s Happy Home Frocks On Sale Saturday | Another shipment of smart, sophisticated, cot- ton frocks made of frost cool fabrics that are ideal to wear throughout the day—for every. purpose —for every occasion.

In Mr. Marett’s opinion the Roosevelt Administration's fail- ure to act promptly and decisive- ly is essentially responsible for the Mexican debacle. HOTEL LEAMINGTON N. E.
