Some of the most prominent Jews
of America are celebrating the com
pletion of a record breaking literary
work-an English version of the Bible

President Wilson Tells
What He Wants in Mexico

will endure regardless of the outcome
of mediation negotiations. The set
tied policy of the President, in regard
to Mexico, will be as follows:
First-The United States, so long
as Mr.. Wilson is President, will not
seek to gain a foot of Mexican terri
tory in any way or under any pre-
text. When we have finished with
Mexico, Mexico will be territorially
intact.
Second-No personal .aggrandize-
ment by American investors or adven-
turers or capitalists, or exploitation
of that country, will be permitted
Legitimate business interests that
seek to develop rather than exploit
will be encouraged
Third-A settlement of the agra
rian land question by constitutional
means-such as that followed in New
Zealand, for example-will be insisted
on.
These are the materialistic ideals
of President Wilson, the main points
he has firmly in his mind His future
policy will rest on these foundations,
regardless of what the moment may
inject into the situation in the way
of minor questions.
