May stop Landing.

Whether the United States will at
tempt to prevent the landing of the
Antilla's cargo at Tampico is proble-
matical. Army and navy officials were
considerably exercised over the incl
dent and there were reports current
that several other ship loads Of am
munitiOn have been under way for
several days bound also for Tampico.
Mediation developments at Niagara
Falls may prove an important factor
1t was declared tonight in shaping the
attitude of the United States toward
the treatment OF Tampico as an open
port In some quarters IT was main
tanned the United States could not
interfere with landing arms for the
constitutionalists beause arms for
lluerta were permitted to be landed
at Puerto Mexico. On the other hand
it was argued that should protocol
between the Huerta and United States
representatives be agreed to at Ma
CARA Falls, this government mi IT be
bound to prevent shipment of arms to
Carranza's forces.

to Chinese, who are prohibited. from

1.-THE REAL MEXICAN PROBLEM. -
We are not confronted in Mexico with
a new problem at all, nor even with a
new phase Of an old problem, writes
Roland G. Usher in the July number OF
the North American Review. We are
not confronted. in fact. with an issue to
be decided Of past history is really q
criterion) by international ethics or in
ternational law. It il a question of in
ternal relations to be solved by the APP
plication Of the ethics and principles Of
westward expansion as they have been
understood and applied by white men in
America since the days when the ad-
venturous Cortes saw the white walls OF
Mexico cleaning In the distance.
Mexico is not in our sense of the word
a nation at all. but a collection, loosely
organised, OF more or less developed and
more or less widely sundered Indian
tribes. The census classes about nine
teen per cent. of the population az
white. though it is notorious that there
are few native Mexicans without more
or less Indian blood. OF the Indians
forty-thrce per cent. are classed as
mixed bloods. meaning rather a mixture
Of Indian stocks than a distinct crossing
with the whites. while thirty-eight pei
cent. are classed as pure Indians.
Essentially, the Mexican problem is
not an International Issue OF magnitude
but another phase of the Indian prob
lem we have already met SO man,

of white men must not blind US to tn
essential facts and allow US to lOol
upon Mexico as a white nation or ever
