When you go into a store and put down
your money for a tire, what you really
are buying is not merely a given amount
of rubber and cord but the expectation
of a certain number of miles of service.
Whether you get it or not depends upon
whether the tire you buy is of a reliable
make.

Trouble started when Calles began to

The world-wide- drop in silvef was an
important factor in Mexico’s present un-
stability. This republic was the second
largest silver producing nation in the
world, and the drop in price, eighteen
months ago, precipitated a problem that
has not been solved. When India an-
nounced it would accept a gold basis,
silver markets in New York and Mexico
went down. Mexico’s chief outlet in the
silver channels was through huge pur-
chases by the Indian government and’its
loss crippled the mining industry. Brit:
‘ Ish and American interests were hard
hit because many of the mines were
operated through Indian capital. The
Chinese market, also large, was dosed
because of the revolutions, thus further
increasing the disparity of mining in-
terests.
Many Mines Closed Down.
Large numbers of mining companies
found it impossible to operate their
holdings in the smaller veins and closed
them working only the largest and rieh-
. est in a desperate attempt to meet bore
operating expenses. The conditions did
not improve, and, today, Mexico ia in
the grips of one of the worst mining
crises it has ever experienced. In the
northern section of the republic, near
the American border, holdings are shut
down, virtually universally. When the
mines closed, the government lost a
valuable source of taxation and it in-
s creased the problem of meeting current
expenses. Production diminished and
laborers lost their jobs, taking away the
purchasing power of their pesos.

THE CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 24—
Mexico is in the throes of a financial
crisis with the government straining to
prevent disaster. The problems of the
Calles administration have been diffi-
cult and expensive and the nation io in
the grips of bad depression.
The depression is general. Losses
have been heavy from the agrarian, rail-
road and petrolaum angles—end the re-
sult is that no trade le returning large
profits.
To understand the deplorability of the
outlook It is necessary to trace the
trouble to the original source. Material
changes in the oil and agrarian laws
were the immediate end direct causes.
. Under the administration of General
Obregon, Calle’s predecessor, foreign
obligations were met fairly well and
no arrangement of n forced loan of 4
million pesos to be applied on the direct
debt was necessary, as happened re-
cently. But Obregon hnd aid Calles did
not—the oil companies. Although the
British, American and Dutch petroleum
corporations were called on to rescue
