Mexico Enters a Ncw Phase The complete calm and luck of 'disturbance with which Manual Avila Camacho was inaugurated as Mexico's new president may prove to lie a happy augury for his six-year term. The United States, whose chief interest lies in a Mexico Mexi-co steadily progressing under stable institutions, hopes it may be so. The rude and unpleasant demonstration staged for Secretary Sec-retary Wallace on his arrival to attend the inauguration need not be taken too seriously. The sheer, fruitless bad taste of the affair pretty .well identifies it with one of those political minorities whose sole influence lies in such demonstrations. There is no reason to doubt that Wallace's warm reception later by the Chamber of Deputies is much more rcpresenta-" tive of a growing cordiality toward the United States, which the Avila Camacho regime is pledged to foster. v - "1 -J- -V The United States has been most patient and sympathetic sympa-thetic toward Mexico in the past few years. That is partly-due partly-due to.a genuinely increasing good-will and understanding, and partly due, frankly, to the knowledge that Mexican goodwill good-will is more important to the United States today than it has been for a long time. Our two countries need each other. Each will benefit by cultivating the other's good-will in the only effective way by deserving it. Avila Camacho takes the reins of Mexico at a difficult time. He succeeds a man, Lazaro Cardenas, who is generally conceded to have been a great president. Even those who disagree with his policies do not minimize his sheer stature. To be successor to such a man is always difficult. Avila Camacho's own following is by no means united. He must restore the confidence of business, both foreign and domestic, wnile guarding the gains made by labor under Cardenas; again, not an easy task. He must revivify an economy badly shattered bv domestic convulsions and the shutting off of foreign trade. against foreign influences which has not hesitated to intrigue intri-gue with his political opponents. He must settle the" long-festering long-festering "oil controversy. J(S In short, he faces a whale of a big job. In tackling that job, he had the good will of the administration admin-istration at Washington and of the American people, who are year by year achieving a greater liking for their neighbors across the Rio Grande. In his expressed plan to make Mexico a more vital link in the "hemisphere system" on which 21 American republics increasingly pin their faith, the people of the United States wish him success and prosperity.

INC in Row Due Over Unemployment insurance Reserve Funds By BRUCE CATTON Daily Herald Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dee. 7 Pressure Pres-sure of a snow-balling reserve fund is likely to force a change in the unemployment compensation sections of the social security setup set-up this winter. Under the present law money is coming in Just about twice as fast as it is going out.. The unemployment unemploy-ment insurance reserve fund today stands at about $1,700,000,000, and is figured tc reach $2,250,000,000 by next July. This reserve fund is invested by the secretary of the treasury in government bonds, each state's own contribution being held to it3 account. Thus, Instead of contributing to an increase in the national debt, this piling-up of the insurance fund provides a market for some. of the bonds which the increase in the national debt puts on the market. Labor Favors Liberalization From labor and important New Dealers comes a demand that benefit bene-fit payments be liberalized. From business interests comes a demand that the employers burden be lightened eith?r by a lowering of the 3 per cent payroll tax, or by extension of the experience rating system. Or perhaps both. Whole future of the unemployment unemploy-ment compensation system may depend largely on how this seraph comes out. The Social Security Doard is inclined to liberalize benefits, both on the theory that in many WAR WORK THAT MEANS BOMBINGS I GO AS A SOLDI ER IN THE FIRST WAR., WHEN THEV WAS KILLIN' SOLDIERS, AN' NOW I'M A MACHINIST WHEN THEY'RE KILLIN' MACHINISTS I'M JUST A HULK OF. BAD LUCK ) THE GREASE WARRIOR. states the sums now paid are inadequate in-adequate and in the belief that i anything which would increase mass buying power would,? be all to the good. Under the general heading: of liberalizing benefits would come shortening of the waiting period, extension of the time over which benefits can be paid, and hiking of the amounts paid out In general both the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. would back such a move. Interesting point is that the final rallying point of the lib eralizrrs may be the McCormack bill (backed by Majority Leader John W. McCormack), which would write minimum benefit standards into the federal law End result of such a step would probably be more less complete federalization of the whole system sys-tem which, as- it- now- stands,--, is actually a state affair operated 'under a degree of federal super- vision. Kxpericnoe rating t enter of Iehat Rral center of the argument however, will be the business about experience ratings. This is a system, now in effect in a number of states, whereby the unemployment insurance tax which an employer pays depends on his record in regard to stabiliz ing his own force. An employer who can show that over a three year period he has kept his force from fluctuating very much and has discharged few persons piays a lower tax than the employerwho lays off a large number every so often. For years the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers has urged extension of this system. Argument is thta it offers a pow erful incentive toward the stabili zation of employment, forces the employers who jg most responsible for unemployment to bear the benviest jiart of the load, and lends to make the whole system a means for helping to reduce unemployment. un-employment. ' . Labor organizations and the So cial Security Board don't like experience ex-perience ratings much. They con sider this a means of stabilizing unemployment, assert it works out in favor of corporations (like utilities) whose labor require ments are fairly steady, and Bay that it promotes the replacement of men by machines. Cranium Crackers THE FOOTBALL SEASON Here are five general questions about the 1910 football season. How many of, them can you answer an-swer correctly? 1. One of the strangest teams on the Pacific coast during the 1940 season was Stanford, in its first year under a new coach. Who is he? 2. Considerable discussion was aroused over charges that the coach of a strong eastern team signaled his team from the bench. What two teams were involved? 3. Notre Dame's six-game win ning streak was broken when it met what team? 4. What team won the championship cham-pionship of the Western Conference, Confer-ence, commonly called the Eigf Ten ? 5. An eastern team, after going go-ing undefeated in 23 games, was finally toppled late in the season. What is the team, and who broke its winning streak? NIGHT R ADDERS OVER LONDON LONDON, Dec. 6 OJJ?)

CARROLL I was thinking of the significance signifi-cance of journalism in modern day living. It would be impossible to determine just how much of what we think and say and do and feel depends upon the press. We are influenced in almost everything every-thing we do, either direct, or indirectly in-directly by what we read. .... Journalism, even in its most primitive form filled a universal human need. No human creature is sufficient unto lumselT. He Is fundamentally interested in and d pendent upon his tellowmen. This Is an true in his intellectual as In his physical life. And just as man's physical requirements arc met by the great systems ol manufacturing establishments, transportation and exchange In the commercial world, so are his Intellectual needs satisfitd by the products and disseminations of the press. In early times life was much less complex than it is today, and journalism was much more simple, lint it existed In a crude form ev'cn with savages. In Greece and Rome poems otten served as forms of journalism. That is, they contained elements of news. Other journalistic iorces at that time were the forum and public notices. In the Middle Ages news was cairied from place ta place by traveling bards and gleemen. Peoples Peo-ples of Lhe.se early times "did not demand minute to minute news as we do today. They managed to keep within a Hundred years up to date. When printing was established in the fiiteenth century, naoirai-iy naoirai-iy journalism made great strides. In its modern sense, journalism began in the keeping and dis-triouting dis-triouting of recorus of acts of parliament. It was not until the nineteenth and twentieth centuries centur-ies that it developed into anything like its present significance, a he recognition ot its power came with the inception ot the potency of advertising. Since that time journalism had bt-en botn trtesseu and cursed by its close affiliation with advertising. It has been blessed and in tne sense that because be-cause of the advertising in a modern magazine for instance, the leading puolic is given for ten cents what actually costs about live times that amount. It is cursed curs-ed in the sense that to a ratner large degree the nature of that reading material is determined, indirectly of course, by the advertisers. ad-vertisers. Of written journalism that daily newspaper is most far-reaching far-reaching in its influence upon daily social life.

Ronnie Bailey was murmur ing as if to herself, rather than to Wesley. "Especially away out here in a wilderness canyon." "Hold your torch to the flame," Wcs directed. "Mine is burning low. And I'm not sure she did it." "Then who did?" "Don't ask me, tell me. But I do know this, Ronnie; this find is significant some way." She didn't answer. She was very busy maneuvering her light now. It cast dancing black devils on the cave ceiling and walls, and the smoke was beginning to choke her slightly, too. They spoke in hushed tones. "Wesley, let's hurry!" "All right. But" "I'm not afraid, but I think the smoke might leave telltale signs of our being here." From his knees before a box he suddenly looked up admiringly at her. "You'd make a good outdoors-man, outdoors-man, Ronnie. You think of practical prac-tical things. But there's a ventilating ventilat-ing draft. Cracks in the rocks back here afford wind outlets. I tested that as we came in." "Can we look in the biggest box now? It's like a trunk, really." He opened this largest box with heightened interest because of the guns and ammunition already found. Would this be explosives? Dynamite and caps, maybe, such as miners use? But no, this cache could hardly be for use by prospectors. pros-pectors. JJE lifted the lid and at once they saw a peculiar set of instruments instru-ments wires, tubes, electric switches, coils, small black housings, hous-ings, batteries. "It's a radio set!" Wesley said, studying it carefully. "Transmitter ' and receiver both!" "Goodness, Wes!" "Rather powerful set, too. I 'Coal at last, neighbor! asking 2.000 of these vehicles wi!h a 40,000,000 circulation. Of all the leading done in our country nine-tenths nine-tenths of it is from the daily papers. These facts indicate something some-thing of the tremendous importance import-ance of this part of the journalistic journal-istic machine. The 20,000 weekly papers and the numerous different types of periodicals as well as certain ty,es of books which are purely journalistic in nature, make up the jjreat mass of written material mater-ial dealing with all aspects of human hu-man life which enter into the activities ac-tivities of each day and which slowly but surely form our philosophies phil-osophies of life, and in the build-in build-in r of our personalities and characters. This written journalism together togeth-er with the news reels and the" radio are constantly influencing public opinion. It is by these means almost entirely that we learn of governmental policies, country and world happenings. They are used as vehicles of dangerous dan-gerous propaganda as well as of truth. It is from what we get from these sources that we must build largely our ideas about politics poli-tics and the abilities of leaders in all fields. - t'RKW OF SIX LOST WITH SHIP ASTORIA, Ore., Dec. 6 (in Coast guardsmen at Garibaldi, Ore., said this afternoon no trace has 'been "found of the "six tTcvv DUDE COLLEGE think. I don't know too much about them but this equipment looks elaborate to me." "It is elaborate. I have a set in my plane, remember. I know." 'I think we'd better get out of here, Ronnie!" They looked quickly behind the stack of boxes. Several pairs of men's shoes were there. Also neat rolls of blankets and several two- quart canteens. A push at tho canteens can-teens showed them full, doubtless of water. "You lead out slowly; Ronnie, and I'll pick up any charred grass or other sign we may have left. Tracks won't show on the rock floor." "What about tracks outside?" "We can do what Lena's boy friend did- drag a leafless brush behind us. Especially behind the horses. It's almost impossible to see our own trail because we have walked on rocks most of the way. The horses tracks are on the flat sandy floor of the canyon where the wind whips all night. Wind erases tracks and such. But we'll take care." Still speaking in undertones as if they might be overheard, they debated the origin of the cache. Then Wesley, near the exit, ex tinguished their light, catching any ash fall in his hat. "Gee-mi-nee, Wesley!" Bonica breathed it nervously. "Doh't be afraid. Night has set tled outside but in a moment our eyes will adjust again. Let me hold your arm here is the opening." "I'm scared silly. I expect some thing to yell 'Boo' any moment and if it dcs I'll just explode!" "It is a very real experience," said he. "More important than we realize, probably. But have no fear." "I'm all right. You talk like a professor even when adventuring, Wes. But I sort of like it." . He halted, turned close to her in the darkness. "I beg pardon?" "Never mmd. I was just think ing that your educated, trained mind is a solid something to cling to. You are as calm as can be, Wes!" "Thank you." He was suddenly elated. Outspoken Ronica Bailey had paid him another compliment of a personal - nature, and ' eneH such invariably stirred a yearning within hira.

"I we have found something important, but" "Good!" she stage-whispered. "Keep the secret. Until?" "Until I can conduct some private pri-vate investigation.

"Well, I wouldn't want to talk too much until I felt more sure. But you can trust me . . . Ronnie, I I somehow feel that you and I are friends!" Ronica turned in her saddle to look gently up at Wesley York. His tone more than his words had somehow gripped her attention in a new way.
