We extend congratulations to the graduates of Decatur high school and wish each young woman and young man success in all their future endeavors. o ' o'-'".-We sympathise with the Fort Wayne boy who fell from a tree and broke both of his legs. He and a playmate were trying to catch a crow and the youth toppled out of a tree. With the vacation season just around the corner, boys should be mindful of the danger that lurks in innocent play and activities, saving themselves as much as possible from possible injury and hodily harm. O 0— President Eisenhower has rejected the tariff commission’s recommendation for a 100 per cent tariff increase on certain types of scissors and shears. Severgj other recommendations for higher duties have been sent to the President and all have been rejected by him. Clearly he feels that the world needs fewer trade barriers, not more. Once it would have been inconceivable for a Re- ♦ publican president to look with I favor on lower tariffs. Now times ■ have changed, and opinions with p them. fig. 0 0 P The Democrat slate convention® will be beh.l June .2 in Indianap-® olis.

Craig and .■ Senators Capehart and Jenner have lessened Republican chances of carrying several districts in the state. 0 0 Sinking City:— The reference to living on in- ’ secure foundations, heard fairly frequently in this modern age, has real meaning for the people of Mexico City. The capital of Mexico is actually sinking at the rate of one foot a year. This alarming condition is blamed on Aztec policies of six centuries ago. According to legend. the gods told the Aztecs to build their empire on a lake, and as a result Mexico City grew up ou a spongy site, even though the lake was drained when the conquering Spaniards took over. The stiuation, which can be eased only if the city’s 3,000 wells are closed to hold the drainage of underground water, has already produced some alarming consequences. The ancient shrine of Guadalupe unevenly, so that one of its Bowers is cracked and the entire basilica endangered. The city’s historic downtown cathedral, one of the oldest churches tn The western hetnlspheie. has sunk 15 feet sitrth the turn of this century. Monuments are tilting and whole streets are out of line. The city’s underground sewer system is also ey» d*tigered by the sinking. Before the city's wells can be boarded up. the city has to obtain a new srrurcr of water. This will require, according to the federal district Governor, an invest-" ment of $115,000,000 within the next 30 years. It may sound queer, but it's true that Mexcio City, the highest metropolis in the world and the second largest in Latin Amer- ■ <■ ica. ijiay have to be bailed out i unices thu situation is corrected, j

It is not known when work will start on the construction of the St. Lawrence seaway, but a movement has already been launched In this state to build an international port on Lake Michigan In northern Indiana. Such a port would bring a lot of ocean going commerce to the state, provide employment and develop other lines of business. The seaway channel has been opposed by railroad and inland shipping interests, but in time it should create more business for the transportation lines. It is one of the government sponsored agencies that private business did not develop and would not have been possible without federal help. -—0 <1 The war-danger zone comes closer to home with the shipment of Communist arms to Guatemala and the rushing of U. S. weapons to Nicaragua and Honduras. If the shipment of arms by the Reds is a step in “colonialism” in Central America, then it is dangerous , to the peace of the United States > and the world. Secretary of State I Dulles explains. Aa pointed out by I Mr. Dulles, the arms shipment Fmay be a Red maneuver to attack ■ the Panama Canal. The United ■States must oppose this possible ■attack and Mr. Dulles so informs ■the country that we cannot due ■less than defend our interests in lease of attack. If hostilities ■should break out, those nations ■ which signed the Caracas resolu■tion for self-defense with the ■ United States will be called on to ■defend this hemisphere.
