CRITICALMOMENI APPROACHES FOR 01 AND MEXICO Only Backdown by Washington or Neighbor Can Prevent Break. By William Phillips Simms Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec, 9.—Behind a perfectly placid exterior the "Ilex-ican-American situation Is becomingmore ominous dally as Jan. 1, the date when Mexico’s new land forfeiture laws become effective, ap.srcmcnea. While some American concerns have applied for “confirmation” of their Mexican holding's and been given the prescribed fifty-year leases in exchange for their present, title, the bulk of them are refusing to do so. Inevitably this means one of two things: Either Mexico City or Washington must back down or there Is bound to boa clash. American oil holdings alone In Mexico are estimated to be worth anywhere from $500,000,000 to a billion. Other Interests boost the stakes to between a billion and a bll--1 .in and a half. Today, by virtue of Secretary of State Kellogg’s official notes on the subject, the United States has gradually been worked into a position, where It is bound to defend every dollar’s worth of these holdings or else give way and suffer loss of prestige. Positions of Disputants Mexico’s position all along has been that her new laws would not Injure American or other foreign interests. Should they do so, she says, the person or persons injured would receive compensation. Secretary Kellogg, however, has insisted the laws were vitrually if not quite 'confiscatory in character and so should be changed before injury is done. On this the Mexican and Ameri-

can governments deadlocked weeks ago and there they remain today with the zero hoi\r of a real crisis approaching. Secretary Kellogg has warned that a "very serious situation” W'ould be created the moment anything happens, and happen something must. The big American concerns In Mexico are sitting pretty. They are conforming strictly to advice from Washington—at least inferred advice—when they refuse to conform to the new lawss. Thus they have every moral reason to expect Washington to protect them, if necessary even to the point of armed intervention. If on or after Jan. 1 American property is declared forfeited, It is extremely difficult to see how Secretary Kellogg can avoid sending an ultimatum to Mexico and followirfg it up with appropriate action. This could scarcely be less than a rupture of diplomatic relations. De I.* Huerta Walts What would happen after that l/ problematical. It Is not to be forgotten, however, that Adolfo de la Huertii, former provisional president of Mexico and later leader of a rebellion, right now Is flitting up and down the Mexican border, like an impatient ghost, waiting for a revolution to begin. De la Huerta Is already believed to have American backing. If the government of President Calles is outlawed by the United States, he could certainly obtain more. In any case a revolution, whether led by him or somebody else, would almost surely be launched. Meantime the situation Is Rtlll further complicated by the fact that certain large British and other European oil Interests in Mexico are taking their cue from Washington just as Americans are doing. At first, apparently inclined to conform to the new land laws, today some of these concerns are holding back. If, after taking the implied advice of Washington, they get hurt, they are bound to howl, cite the Monroe doctrine and its obligations, etc., thus adding to the clamor for United States Intervention In Mexico. On the whole the situation Is not rosy, despite the present calm. • BOX-CRUSHES FOOT, DIES Gangrene Is Fatal to Worker at Wabash, Ind. % Bn Times Special WABASH, Ind., Dec.

Dontßisk Pneumonia By Neglecting a Cold

If you have a cou?h or cold, don’t neglect it during this pneumonia weather. A cough or cold paves the way for pneumpnia because it irritates the linings of throat chest and bronchial tubes, often the lungs themselves, if neglected too long. And it is in these inflamed linings—when a neglected cold has broken down your resistance—that dreaded pneumonia is quickest to start—often proving fatal in a few days.

Don’t Just dread pneumonia! Take measure® to prevent it, by getting rid of a threatening cough or cold immediately before pneumonia starts to develop. By its powerful double action, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral quaikly

2200 calories a day —say the greatest child experts —is approximately the amount of energy required by an active, growing boy or girl of twelve. No wonder little bodies sometimes fail to fill out—even when children seem to be eating normally. For not only must there be plenty of food to make up these 2200 calories, but it must be the right kind of food. That is why milk is used in making Certified Bread. That is why the flour is specially tested for flavor, for nutritional value, for baking quality. That is why everything— yeast, sugar, salt, shortening—is selected in a great Testing Kitchen with a care that would amaze you. And that is the reason, too, why so many recipes were tried in order that Certified Bread might be not only nutritious—but extra appetizing as well! So delicious that young appetites would continually clamor for more! Your grocer has Certified Bread—Ask him for it today! Certified Bread TAGGART BAKERY—Continental Baking Company
