Would Know What to Do.


Then the people who live along the
Mexican border and others interested in
Mexico would know what to do said
Senator Fall
..As / said before. every official act OF
this country toward Mexico in the last
few Years has been intervention. The
nlacne of am embargo on the shipment
of arms to that country from the United
States; the repeal of that embargo; the
sending OF GOV. Lind TO Mexico with an
ultirnatum to Huerta. all of these acts
have been intervention OF kind. Such
intervention extended toward Japan or
Great Britain in any situation would have
brought about war.
Criticises Administration.
senator Fall criticised the adminis-
,ratfon freely for its secretiyeness SO
FAR as its foreign policy is concerned.
He insisted that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan had never taken into
their confidence Congress. which in the
end is charged with action. regarding the
happenings in Mexico He said that
so far as he knew the President in his
with members of the Sem
ate and House foreign relations COM
mittees had never thrown any new
Hight on the situation. He suggested
that either the President had no in
formation to impart or that he had de-
cided not to impart II.
This course said Senator Fail was
entirely different from that adopted
bv other Presidents of the United
States from Lincoln down to the pres
emf day. in regard to informing Con-
sress In respect to the relations Of this
country with foreign nations,
Cites Cleveland Message.
He read from message sent TO Con-
rress by President Cleveland a year
and a half before the outbreak Of the
spanish war, in which the democratic
President had very frankly discussed
the situation in Cuba, explaining that
conditions had arisen there which
might make il necessary for this coun-
try out of huma nitarian reasons. to
step in and bring about peace there.
Senator Fall said that the situation in
Mexico today was very similar to that
which had existed in Cuba before the
Spanish war. He said that unless some-
thing were done TO bring about peaca

senator Fall believes that there should
be intervention of more positive kind
than that which has been undertaken
by the present administration.
