ton which has arisen out OF the killing
Of William =. Benton, in which 1t Is as

The correspondent declares. however. that
enlightened American opinion is solid in
holding that intervention will b. inevi-

The Times In commenting OF this des-
hitherto assumed in discussing this affair
II admits that the Washington Govern

facilitate a thorough investigation Of the
facts in regard TO the killing Of Benton,
but says: THAT is only what we should
have expected" Nevertheless the Times
doubts the success OF the American efforts
and adas:
While the action OF the American
Government In furthering the inquiry will
be noted with qualification in this coun-

being brought TO bear OH Pancho villa by
agents OF Gen. Carranza to induce him TO

American authorities to view the remains.
This was evidenced by the departure from
Juarez on special train OF two commits
sioners. both prominent Mex!cans. who
will lay the case before Villa and urge
him TO reconsider his decision to hold the
corpse. They left last night but their
departure only became known to-day.

MEXICAN POLICY ATTACKED
Representative ASaey Asoails the
Wilson Administration,

wAsHiSo1oS, Feb. :5.--In IA speech de-
lvered in the House to-day Representa-
tive Ainey Of Pennsylvania, a Progress
sive Republican. vigorously assailed Pres
ident Wilson's policy OF "watchful watt
ing over the situation in Mexico. He in
sisted that the time had come when the
Government should assume a more agrees
sive policy In dealing with conditions In
Mexico.
Mr. Ainey intimated that the United
states should intervene. but did no, openly
advocate the adoption OF such a policy.
He insisted that the State Department has
in its possession a record Of American
lives sacrificed In Mexico that would sppsll
the country.
Before MIR. Ainey took the floor he pre-
scented the following resolution:
Resolved, That the President OF the
United States be and he Is hereby re-
Quested. II not Incompatible with the pub
lie interest to transmit to the House all
Information that may be in his possession
or in the possession Of the Department OF
State regarding the treatment In Mexico
of citizens Of the United States Of
America and OF other countries with re-
spect TO their safety and the security Of
their lives and property and TO inform the
House what action II any has been taken
for the protection OF American citizens
and other persons in Mexico"
I'VE have been Informed by the Presi-
dent OF the United States that the policy
Of watchful waiting would bring peace
results IN Mexico said Mr.. Ainey. From
this hall and the rostrum OF this hall he
enuncat-d the policy which has resulted
In deadly drifting II not In merely
wishing.
The people OF this country have wanted
peace and not war. They have not de-
sired Intervention IN Mexico. bu: VIVA,
was described by the President as the one
small cloud on the political horizon has
grown TO be q great cloud until IL en-
dangers the peace and security and good
will Of this country with the other nations
Of the world.
This policy does not lead to peace"
continued Mr. Ainey, but It leads ire
sistibly to war. The President suggested
to the House as he had suggested to the
people a the United states that he
desired II constitutional government in
Mexico and therefore he declined to
recognize Huerta AS President de facto
hut what has been the result? The
result Is that warfare has continued and
instead of trying to prevent war We have
been furnishing to Mexico the munitions
Of war, and where are We? After Huerta,
who next:
I'm Government where publicity Is
the watchword and the key let us have
this information" concluded Mr.. Ainey,
and let US demand a policy that will lead
US somewhere and not a policy that be-
gins nowhere and ends at no point"
