LOOSE MONETARY POWERS Dispatches from Mexico City state that the Cabinet of the new President Camacho is unable to agree concerning measures to improve the economic relations between the United States and Mexico. Several weeks ago the news filtered across the border that Mexico was expect- ing to pull down a cash loan of 50 million dollars through arrangements endorsed by the United States Government. News in the past few days indicates that Mexico now | wants a loan two or three times that size. wuldn’t think this has anything to do with | | of the war and defense situations to press ygn.

Mexico has received millions of dollars of profits through its saies of silver to the United States Government. The evident purpose of continuing to buy this silver has been explained as a plan of the United States Government to “help out Mexico” by being generous.

The Camacho Administration has indicated hopes ,of improving its relations Jovernment, but it seems to be unable to do so, because of inter- nal troubles. If the Washington Govern- ment should call a moratoriym ;.on buying Mexican silver the chiselers at ‘Mexico City might consider plans of restmation for the crimes of Mexico against United States citi- zens. Then the prospects for solidarity in the Western Hemisphere would be likely to improve. WHY WORRY ABOUT LIVES?

Secretary Stimson found the nation in a more critical period than it faced in 1917 and pointed nut that while we have 1,400,000 men, there is a difference be- tween manpower and an “army”. He expressed full favor of help to the British in order to main- tain their navy, opposed any pro- nibition of the use of the Ameri- can Navy in war zones, saying, ‘that would be one of the surest ways to get into war”, and point- that we have an assurance, as it can be given, about British Fleet but that no as- surance can be “binding if the Government — changes”. which makes it “important to keep Eng- land fi ning under”.

McMahon's office is expecting a wild rush from the other half. Governor Spessard L. Holland two weeks ago extended the dead- line for new auto licenses from January 15 to the end of the month and although he has the legal authority to issue two time extensions, he is not expected to do so. New licenses up to noon today had totalled 909 and were expect- ed to go over 1,000 before the of- fice closes. Last year, the coun- ty office sold 2,025 tags and it is believed*there has been some in- crease since that time. | Sheriff Berlin Sawyer, com- ‘menting on the slow sale of 1941 licenses, said after midnight Fri- :day motorists with the old li- censes would be arrested, fined $1 and costs, which would amount to from $25 to $40, and. ordered to buy a new tag.
