Show yaw HAT shall be done walh mexico seems to be ready with a complete program pi but everybody seems of the opinion that something mut mu t be done and done soon in tills age of the world civilization cannot afford to let n country like mexico one of the garden spots and natural storehouses of eartle continue out of the line of it must join the procession and must keep up with alie procession so it 18 evident aside aiom the question of the killing of american and british citizens and other nationals human life appears to be cheap these davs that financial matters and economic questions will force action by the united states and the allies against mexico the outlaw nation it Is no exaggeration to say that for months no other international problem not connected with the at paris has been so fully dis cussed as the mexican question and apparently sentiment in tills country and abroad Is rapidly crystallizing the exclusion of mexico from the league of rations was based on the ground that mexico had been unable to give proof of intention to observe international obligations mexico has failed to observe these obligations in these davs medicos cos neutrality was more than tinged ath german bias mexico has made no attempt to meet her foreign debt obligations mexico shows increasing inability to afford protection to the alv es and property of foreigners and nationals also mexico has given evidence of n studied and systematic attempt to put through schemes which would result in the confiscation of foreign property the most glaring example of which Is the case of the oil companies although the express and railway companies interests are in almost as great danger it Is no secret in washington that renewed representations on the mexican situation are being made to the american government by great britain and france for several months these countries have been urging upon the united states the desirability of putting mexico on its feet so that it might resume the payment on national and other debts and afford adequate protection to lives and property british citizens are holders of a considerable amount of mexican bonds both national and railway waule the french have extensive investments in the banks which it has been charged were looted by the under the guise of obtaining loans nationals of both countries leold exten sive interests a oil properties many french citizens of moderate means invested their savings in mexican bonds on which they have received no interest for six years in short the mexican situation apparently resolved itself into this the states will soon be compelled to take mexico in hand unless european nations are to be suffered to intervene there in spite of the monroe doctrine in official washington the prediction Is hazarded that the united states will intervene acting u the mandatory for the league of in congress the mexican situation hax ceased censed to be a partisan question senator king of butali a democrat and one of alie administration u st ingest supporters introduced the other day u very still resolution directing the secretary of mate to report in full on mexican conditions an 1 what alie department of state was planning to do in the matter the resolution was immediately conald ered and agreed to in the house representative gould of ew york introduced n resolution providing for a sweeping investigation of american mexican r lations and all phases of the since 1910 the investigation would be made by a committee of three senators and depre to be selected by the fornin affairs of the two houses it was lend era of both alie houses were consulted before tin resolution was introduced and that they ore favorable to the inquiry mr gould gave figures blowing that amer leans had been murdered between 1910 and 1910 figures for the three ears following eting unobtainable tai all of which seems to indicate that president venustiano Venust lano carranza of mexico is in bad with uncle sam and the it seems reasonably certain that he cannot much longer stave off a settlement of the grievances which have been piling up in the states and various Luro nations because of the high handed treatment accorded to foreign interests in the mexican republic also it appears that cither carranza must come to terms with the states and the allies with that mexico will meet her obligations to these countries or the revola will shake him from power ID addition to the villa rising there are not less than ten revolutionary lutio nary movements in mexico there are those who say he would not last two weeks should he be thrown over by the united states there Is no gainsaying gain saying that carranza Is in a tight place with the league of nations planning economic pressure from without and a growing pressure from revolutionists from within what are the investments of foreign milons la mexico no official figures are to be had with the exception of the climate prepared in 1910 by marion

destruction of british lives and property the french government Is making i demands and in addition insists Carn tiia the interest on the loan ana floated in france but which hag bem koudi atad by the
