This was the charge of Senator Fall,
Of New Mexico, yesterday, as he laid
before the Senate and the country the

with which the United States should al
ways be at peace.
We have fiddled while Mexico burned:
We have seen our citizens murdered and
outraged, and hundreds of millions Of
dollars of their property destroyed since
March 4, last" he declared.
AS the Senator read from his list Of
atrocities which he said were well-known
to the State Department, he made rum
ming comments to show that the State
Department under the present admins
.tratlon had done nothlng beyond making
protests that were never followed up.
Huerta Is Impossible.
The case of Joshua Stevens, killed near
Colonia while defending his daughters
from attack. he said, never called from
the department even a protest. and
know it was presented there and an ap-
peal for action made"
One OF the most horrible cases submit
ted was that of the killing OF Frank
Ward, an American, and the assault on
his wife. Senator Fall said there was
on file in the American Embassy at
Mexico City an affidavite by Mrs. Ward,

BENTON SITUATION AGAIN
DISCUSSED In PARLIAMENT

London. March 9.-That the United
States viii not rely alone upon its non-
recognition of President Huerta to re-
store peace in Mexico was learned TODAY
when the government was interpoIlated
again in Parliament as to the situation
growing out OF the death Of William s.
Benton. Under Secretary Acland, of the
foreign Office, said:
The United States has demonstrated
clearly that nonrecognition Of Huerta Is
not the only alternative to existing con-
ditions in Mexico. 1t would be useless
for Great Britain In the meantime 10
make further representations to the
United States"
When questioned as to the possibility
Of foreign nations lending money to
Huerta, Acland said the United States
already had taken the stand that foreign
loans to Mexico would be a violation of
the Monroe doctrine.

ments concerning the cases selected by
Senator Fall. as he did not have the
facts, but promised at another time to
do so fully.
He charges that the speech of Senator
Fall was timed to publish worldwide

He complained because Senator Fall

inGs OF the administration and the out
RACES that had been committed. had not
been able to suggest a single character
in Mexico capable of composing the pres
ent differences and restoring peace
Senator Shively declared that the
speech Of Mr.. r all was intended to be
an Indictment Of the State Department
and its foreign policy and to leave the
impression that the department had not

cans in Mexico. This ne declared was A
