lows:
That some of the defendants
herein together with plaintiffs
herein are the original parties to
suit No 429, in this Court, styled
invalidly adjudges title to and
possession of share «A-2 in said
Braulia G. de Garcia, to the pre-
judice of these plaintif/s, one of
whom acquired the interest of the
rightful owner of the acreage rep-
resented by said share A-2: that
ing approximately parallel to the
south line of said tract and mea-
suring 3203.3 varas to point for
northwest corner of said tract;
the west line measuring a dis-
tance of 8764.5 varas to meet with
the end of the south line of said
tract. Said plaintiffs pray that
said parol partition be confirmed
by decree of court, and that they
be adjudged their respective in-
terests therein as against all par-
ties to this suit.
Plaintiffs specially plead title i>y
limitation and adverse possession
under Article 5510 of Revised Tex-
as Statutes as to said tract of
4989.8 acres; also specially plead
title by limitation and adverse
possession under Article 5510 of
Revised Texas Statutes as to 2697.8
acres out of said 4989.8 acres
tract.
Wherefore, said four plaintiffs
pray that petition for bill of re-
view be granted, that said Judg-

who is recited in said Judgment of icated, and that their prayers for

That judgment was rendered In

should be vacated because said
judgment was procured when these
plaintiffs were not present in

having been represented and stat-
ed to Manuel Oarcia Hinojosa and
tnese plaintiffs by W. W. Winslow,
attorney of record for plaintiff
and intervenor, that said suit No.
429 would not be tried at, but
and possession of specific portions
of the land Involved in said suit,
and as was also known to their

cause would have been continued
for the November term, 1934, of
this Court, and these plaintiffs
would at a subsequent term have
been prepared and present in
Court to show and would have
shown their rights as owners in
common of the land involved, and
would have been entitled to a
Judgment for the partition of their
Interest in severalty; that these
plaintiffs did not appear in per-
son < r bv attorney at the trial of
said cause, and the judgment dat-
ed December 1, 1934, so recites, and
hence the only judgment which
W’ould be continued (as had been | this Court had power to render as
agreed by attorneys) for the No-1 regards these plaintiffs was that of

When the United 8tates was sud-
denly shifted by the World War
from a debtor to a creditor na-
tion, certain choices became neces-
sary. Previous to the World War
we paid foreign nations annually
about 250 million dollars In interest
charges and dividends as well as
sending about 350 million dollars
additional of American money
each year to foreigners by our
tourists, through immigrant re-
mittances and freight payments on
goods shipped In foreign vessels
The dollar which foreigners ob-
tained in these various ways gave
them a comfortable method of
buying our surplus farm product.*
before the War.
After the War the foreign na-
tions continued to purchase our
surplus farm products In volume
chiefly because we were willing to
loan. During the last half of the
twenties the foreigners sent uk
over 500 million dollars a year in
interest and dividend payment*
and our banking houses loaned the
money back to them. In this way
they were able to buy considerable
quantities of our farm products at
prices which were not completely
disastrous.
Foreign Gold Scarce
Because of the fact that the
United States now has over half
the gold In the world, because her
tariffs are still high in spite of re-
ductions made in trade agree-
ments, and because she is determ-
ined not to loan any large volume
of money to the outside world, it
is to be expected that foreign na-
tions will find it increasingly dif-
ficult to obtan the dollars with
which to buy her cotton. The only
door we have left open through
which foreign nations may come to
buy our cotton is the trade agree-
ments door. This is a rather small
door because the American people
are afraid to let it be a big door
Foreign nations are able to obtain
only a rather small number of dol-
lars with which to buy our cotton
and other products.
Without changing in the slight-
est our theoretical ideas about the
long time desirability of collective
security and freer trade between
the nations, it seems to me that
now more than ever before we are
under the practical necessity of
facing the post World War facts
for what they are. An excessive
nationalism is rampant over the
entire world. It is right that with
our trade agreements and in other
ways we should use our Influence
against the economic manifesta-
tions of these nationalisms. It Is
