A STEINER POLICY TOWARD MEXICO
Sentiment Expressed Senate That There Urgent Need of HETafts Diatory Attitude Denounced and Dis appointment Expressed that Wilson has Pursued Similar CourseResoution for Protection of American Citizens

Washington, July 22-An attempt by Senator Fall of New Mexico, to force the senate to enunciate a strong policy of protection for American cit izens in foreign countries today pre- cipitated lively debate which dem onstrated appreciation on the part of senators of the gravity of the Mexican situation and the necessity for a de- termined stand by the United States.
 Denunciaton of Taft's Delay
 Denunciation of the policy of delay on the part of the 1Taft administration was emphatically pronounced by Sen ator Fall and blamed by him for the present critical situation which, he said could have been prevented by sterner national policy. This declara- tion was approved by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who expressed disap- pointment that the new president and new secretary of state had not inaug urated a different Mexican policy.
 Argued for Serious DeIiberation
 That the delicacy of the situation was -keenly appreciated was evinced by the insistence of many senators, led by Senator Bacon, chairman of the foreign relations committee, that any proposed pronunciamento be deliber- ately and seriously considered before being acted upon.
 Action on Resolution Postponed
 A resolution offered by Senator Fall. calling for the government to protect the "constitulional rights of American citizens in foreign nations was finally sent to the calendar for future dis position.
 Would Send Armed Force.
 Senator Bacon asked if the resolu- tion did not mean that the United States should send an armed force tn- to Mexico to protect American citi- zens.

Nearly 27 per cent of all the permits for sheep and cattle graz ing on the forests are taken out in this state This does not mean, how ever, that Utah carries one-fourth of all the national forest cattle and sheep; it happens that many small grazing interests make use of the forests there: and individual focks and herds are larger elsewhere

 What Full Protection Means.
 Senator Works asked: Are we pre- pared now to declare this government, as set forth in this resolution pre- pared to give full protection to her citizens in Mexico.
 Full protection must necessarily mean that if our citizens in Mexico cannot be protected by diplomatic means, we are prepared to go to war with Mexico he added. I submit that before the senate makes a declaration thoroughly and satisfactorily con- sidered.'
 Senator Fall Warns Up.
 Senator Fall, aroused by what he termed intima tions from senators that he was seeking to precipftate war with the resolution, made stirring reply.
 My sole purpose" said he, through out this and the former administration has been to prevent war with Mexi- co. I urged the last administration to realize the situation in Mexico and 10 act so as to prevent war. But mat ters have dragged on until now we are told the situation is so delicate that we should not make a declaration of this broad principle. The senator from New Mexico is not responsible for conditions in Mexico It is the delay, the failure of the administration to act, the failure of the admtntstra- tion to carry out it's warnings to the people of Mexico, that is responsi- ble for conditions that will continue so long as this policy of delay con- tinueS."
