Seek to Remove Causes of War
there is the matter ot this government s
conversations with neutrals—both direct from Wash-
ington. and via Myron Taylor and the Pope
These conversaUons have dealt not merely vuth
the lonclusion t>l pence but with the removal trf war's
causes And the prvwpect today is nothing less than
this—that if the present mediation efforts should
succeed and there should be a peace conference, it
womd either be accum pa tiled or immediately IdlowCd
by a world conference for disarmament and the re-
duction of trade barriers, with the United States tak-
ing the lead.
That would t,e in with Secretary Hulls unending
campaign for freer world trade It would also jibe
with an of ten-forgot ten fact—that President Roose-
velt. in his peace oiler to Hitler last April went on
record with ar. offer to call just such a conference and
t< take an active port m it

secret The understanding, however, is that in the
main they have been hopeful One story. lor instance,
is that the code word for "favorable” has appeared
in a number oi his dispatches while the word for
unfavorable has appeared but once
In any case a vital point to remember is that there
has been a profound shift in the administrations at-
titude Since tile war began
In October when the neutrality fight was on Presi-
dent Roosevelt s view was that Hitler must be stop-
;>ed and that—by measures short of war"—the
United States must see that England and France
were not beaten.

to the ngtits of the lederal government Already
embroiled in a controversy with court action over
tiie failure of the federal government to reimburse
the State for losses that would be incurred through
the flooding of the Red River valley near Denison
the red-headed Oklahoma governor has called out the
Oklahoma national guard to prevent closing of the
floodgates of the Grand River dam until the WPA
pays for the roads and other public improvement-,
that would be inundated by this dam
This isn’t tiie first time in recent years tiiat a
governor of a State has used armec force to prevent
the federal government from buiidiru a dam without
first eonstderlng the sovereign rights of that State
Shortly after Boulder Dam was built Arizona troops

TEXAS I-EADtS THE NATION
Texas led all tlie States last year in the value of
mineral products, with total sale* amounting to 740 -
DOC 000 This is a pretty good record for a State which !
also holds the record among States for highest value ’
of agricultural products.
Oil of course is the reason why Texas outstrips
the coal and gold producing States for petroleum
brought in *540 000,000 of the mineral production to- :
tai Other Texas minerals included cement, sulphur
natural gas buck, limestone sand and gravel Sliver
production reached nearly SI 000 000 whJe salt and
lignite sales each were about $600 000
These figures give a general idea that Texas has j
a great wealth of mineral resources outside ot oil
Some of them hardly have been scratched and even-
tually will reward pioneers who are able to make
money from the great potential mineral wealth in
this State that trmnv Texans ignore
