Tbe Daily News Is entirely right about the Importance of the revelations contained In the official Mexican documents published in the Hearst newspapers. These documents tend to show: First That the Mexican govern ment Is as Bolshevistic In character as the Russian government Second That It maintains communication with the Russian government and cooope rates with It as far as possible In Bolshevist activity and propaganda. Third That Is contributes funds to various Bolshevist movements and to various revolutionary activities in various parts of the world. Fourth That the Bolshevist government In Mexico Is opposed in princi pie and In practice to the government of the United States, and to the plans and objects pf the United States, particularly In neighboring territories such as Nicaragua. Fifth That It Is In sympathy with tbe government of Japan, not through any harmony of Ideas In government, but apparently because the Mexican government considers the' Japanese government a possible ally In certain operations against the Interests of the United States. Sixth That' It has prepared and probably concluded a secret treaty with Japan which threatens the interests of the United States, and which Invites the colonisation of Japanese immigrants in Mexico and in Nicaragua and which contemplates the possible use of these Immigrants In warlike operations. Seventh That the Mexican government has plotted the establishment of a revolutionary government in Nicaragua with the Idea of having this rev government friendly to olutlonarg Mexico and friendly to Japan, with the apparent Intention of canceling the rights of the United States In the Nic- aragua canal and turning the control or that canal, when built, over to Mexico and Japan. Finally The Mexican government has not contented itself with plotting against the Interests of the United States beyond the boundaries of tbe United States, but It has actually endeavored financially to Influence various publications, various news associations, various Important ment In private lire In the United States and various Important and Influential men In public life, In order to further Its plans and purposes, which plans and purposes, as has already been shown, are contrary to the objects and Interests of the government of the United States, and to the welcome of the peo-- . pie of the United States. Under these circumstances, it would seem, as the Dally News forcerully says, that there Is little occasion for any demonstration of grateful appreciation and sympathetic sentiment by this nation, or the patrlotlo people of this nation, toward Mexico. But Colonel Lindbergh's flight to Mexico must not be taken as officially representing elthe the government or the people of this country.

Sensational documents purported to be official records from the archives of the Mexican government, which tend to show an attempt, at least, on the part of the Mexican government to distribute a propaganda slush funds of $1,215,000 among members of the Unitec States senate, have been submitted to a senate investigating committee by William Randolph Ilearst, noted American publisher.

These documents name Senators Borah of Idaho, Norris of Nebraska, LaFollette of Wisconsin and Hefflln of Alabama. Except Hefflln, who Is Democrat, the senators are all classed as Insurgent Republicans. Tbe senators and others named as connected with the matter have all entered emphatic denials of the things charged In the documents and the Mexican government has declared the documents are not genuine. An Interesting analysis of "What the Mexican documents disclose and what the situation demands" Is given by the Los Angeles Examiner, which first quotes the following editorial from the New York Daily News: rff -v (New York Times.) Next years Democratic national convention will not vote to abrogate the rule which requires a two-thirvote for the nomlnatln of candidates for president and vice president, according to Chairman Clem I Shaver of the Democratic national committee. Mr. Shaver said last night at the Waldorf that those who originally had advocated the change appeared now to have abandoned any thought of making It a convention Issue. "So far as I can find out, there la no likelihood of any proposal for abs rule comrogation of the Mr. ing before the convention, Shaver said. "The agitation seems to have died down. Talk of doing away and certain concessions of that character from Mexico and the United States, and thes epurely private con corns find that their advantage would be served by the dispatch of this young American hero as unofficial ambassador to Mexico. We must understand that private interests are not government Interests and that they are not, and need not be, as scrupulous as government Interest In International matters. two-third- with Furthermore, the recent disclosures of the hostile attitude of the Mexloan government toward this nation will probably have due disciplinary effect on the Mexican government, and put It in a highly conciliatory mood toward this country. The oil cases which have been held up for-- very long time In the Mexican courts were decided promptly In favor of the American contenders, as soon as these disclosures appeared.So, possibly, the private concerns that are anxious to get air route con 1 cessions and other concessions of that character, are right In assuming that this Is the time to make their demonstrations and their applications. As far as the United States government Is concerned. It should not anything less than make vigorous demands on Mexico for a thoroughly adequate explanation of that countrys activities and operations against this New' Official Held Office of District Judge for Four Years. . country's welfare, and against the pro. per and peaceful procedure of thla countrys social, economic and political affairs.
