The Huerta Concessions

NY HILE we are likely to hear good deal
w oil criticism Of President Wilson's re-
fusai to recognize as binding the conces-
sions granted by the Huerta government TO
nationals Of foreign states. the weight of
public opinion will assuredly back his stand.
The United States has consistently held
that the Huerta regime was a usurpation
and, therefore, illegal Being illegal il
could not legally part with any Mexican
property. Those who obtained the conces-
sions did with full knowledge that the
title of the grantor not clear If they
took advantage Of the disturbed state OF Mex
leo To obtain valuable privileges they have
no sound cause for complaint if privileges
so obtained are held to be illegal when the
country becomes peaceful
Reports from Washington indicate that
while our government will be firm in not
sanctioning the concessions granted by
ltuerta. different view may be taken with
respect to loans obtained by Huerta from for
elen countries. and that responsibility for
these loans may have to be assumed by the
Constitutionalsts. There is an apparent in
consistency about this that is ~apt to be
troublesome. Ii HIuerta concessions were il
legally made il is difficult to see how loans
obtained by him can be lawful The lenders
knew as we'll as the concessionaires that all
Huerta's acts were held to he illegal. both
by the majority Of Mexicans and by this
country. In fact, the loans and the grantine
of concessions had a close relationship IN
each other

reer OF Andrew Johnson who President of
the United States after the assassination of
President Lincoln, April IA, 1865, he was often
threatened with assassination. While heated
political contest was progressing in Tennessee
Johnson was scheduled to speak at a public
gathering. 1t was currently reported that should
johnson appear at the meeting he would be
killed by one OF his foes Johnson evidently
believed In the adage. Men for always
live longest He. therefore, made his prepara-
tfons to appear at the gathering When an
nounced, he mounted the stand and removed
from his pockets two pistols. He then said: L

night II this is fact desire that this fca-
ture OF the program be enacted first Johnson
then took his seat After remaining in the
chair a few minutes he arose and said My In

which he proceeded to deliver his speech" Both
men, of course, were playing for votes The
difference is that Andy really in danger
