Airing Knox Regime in State
Department Promised
ON THE NATION
That is the Charge That Dollar
Diplomacy Has Brought on the
State Department-several Incl
dents VIII BE Cited and 4 Warm
Time Is Expected.

Washington. March i6-Immedi-
ately after the opening Of the extra
session of congress. democrats and
anti-Taft republicans will lnaugurate
a war on the KNOX regine al the de-
partment of state
The navy department and the de-
partment of justice will be drawn
into the controversy at the very be-
ginning.
Beyend this. the entire dollar
diplomacy policy is to be aired in
most thorough fashion.
II viii be charged that dollar
diplomacy has brought the state de-
pagtmcnt into derision among diplo-
matte representatives of other coun-
tries.
Ii will be alleged that only the for
bearance of other nations, better
equipped for diplomatic discussions,
has prevented several most humiliat-
ing experiences for this government.
Incidents 90 BE Cited.
There will be detailed and circum-
stantial presentations OF several OF
these incidents.
One will deal with the now famous
"ultimatnm" which the state depart
ment last summer sent TO Chile, and
then, when its .en-day blum was call
ed, was compelled to modify in such
fashion that il amounted to a reces-
sion from the position first taken.
Another Will have TO do with GER
tain demands made on a Central
American republic, and later, it is
alleged, withdrawn In humiliating
fAsaion when il developed that this
government had aeen IN wrong on
its information and its diplomatic
methods.
The series OF moves on the inter-
national chess board OF the far east,
whereby America has been practi-
|cally excluded from important par
ticipation IN Chinese AFFAIRS, and the
boasied open-door policy has been
sacrificed, will come in for an illumi-
anton such as has never yet been at
tempted By anybody in authority.
Finally. the Mexico policy OF this
country will be ventilated with spe-
|cial purpose 10 unmask great finan-
cial interests which are alleged to
exert undue and unjustifed influence
on the administration.
Painstaking investigations are be-
ing made. with the intent to disclose
exactly the relations which now OBJ
tain. or which have Obtained in the
past. between the administration
advisors aud the business interests
that are involved in Mexico.
