ouR PANAMA soveReIenrY.

Any one with the data at hand readily verify tht that the United States acquired the canal strip by virtue of a treaty with Panama This treaty made on behalf of Panama by Philippe -Bunau-varina, dis tnguished French engineer In recent interview in the New Herald he calls attention to the fact that this treaty does not give the United States full sovereignty over this zone.
 He is surprised that senators and prominent lawyers should be so msed as to their arguments for free tolls largely on the ground that repeal would be sur render of our sovereignty the canal This country has not other sovereignty there than has the tenant on property which leases long he pays his rent
 The United did buy this strip of land, nor get complete title it. We granted sovereignty rights there the purpose of building and oper- ating the canal If we had not built should now, at any time for any reason abandon the canal the title to the canal zone would revert back to Panama
 This right leasehold carrying this conditional soy eregnty was further limited voluntarily by bargain with Great Britain through another treaty In other words consideration Britain elnquishng joint rights building the canal and sovereignty the near west coast we gave an easement on the canals use
 In doing this we either barred ourselves of the right grant free tolls carrying vessels, didn't This all the question issue Sovereignty is not an issue because We haven't it, while to free tolls this all depends upon the exact construction of agree ment with Great Britain.

IS Ir PLAYINe MITH EIREl

In this section of the country where are men who are thoroughly familiar with Mexico and the Mexican character there are many among them who believe that President Wilson playing with fire in placing SO much dependence on Carranza and Villa These men regard the practical alliance with the Consuutionalst leaders as idealism run mad. and that the President may be the victim of what the sporting fraternity knows as the double cross"
 The Mexican situation is full of pitfalls The basis of the present revolution the that Of Madero It is to divide up the dispossess Che great land lords and give their holdings to the peons Maderc promised this Yu, did fulfill his promises at least not promptly enough to satisfy his enemy
 It may be that Mexican character has undergone a remarkable change It may be that national adyersip has promoted the growth sincerity But 1t chings to tbe memory tha0 both Cauauza and Villa were o Maderos following and were concerned in the fmni ment of his promises. They claim something of ven peapce in their revolution and that they will carrl out his policies Probably this is their Intention was Maderos but no one satisfy appetite created in this way No one can carry such policy into prac tice without backdre
 The only safety lies in the army and a reyoutonar, army in Mexico is a mighty loose organization lt ha' as many parts as generals and these cooperate as h' generals choose and the loot makes 1t profitable
 Moreover .the national feeling Is strong and th' haired and contempt for Americans intense If Huert' and me landowners shold despair of a definite and acsi, gain through mediation. would be easy to starr

Argentine Beef Only Drop
In Bucket, Says Houston

Argentine beef. or other foreign i'm
ported meat, cannot be identified for
the consumer. under the law providing
for importation, according to the state
ment today from the office Of Secretary
OF Agriculture Houston. Section 545 Of
the tariff act. providing for meat i'm
portatton free. states explicitly that this
meat shall be deemed and treated as
the domestic product" This prevents
any marking.
Secretary Houston has not received a
recent letter from Mrs. Julian Heath,
president of the National Housewives
League, asking that Argentine beef be
marked or identified. so that consumers
could obtain 1t. Several months ago a
letter of this purport was received by
the Secretary from Mrs. Heath and
answer made.
Imports Of Argentine and other beef
provide but drop in the bucket Of
the American meat supply. according to
the statement today of officials OF the
department Monthly importation Of
ali meats are averaging about 30 300 900
pounds. according to the department
statistics. In April last something over
100000 pounds were supplied from the
Argentine.
One of the meat experts of the de-
partment declared that this was only
enough for SOUP for a couple of days
in the month for the 100000.000 popula-
ton Of the United States.
The bulk Of all importations are made
by the American packers.
