John Barrett Deplores
Criticism of MediatOrS

John Barrett, director general of the
Pan American Union, speaking before
the Club of Colonial Danes, deplored
the unfortunate and ill-timed criticism
of the South American mediators. which
has been noticea ble during the past
week, and urged the club TO assist the
United States and the A. B. G. ENJOYS
in their efforts TO restore peace In
Mexico.
Nothing can be more unfortunate.
said Mr.. Barrett than to be hasty in
criticism OF their efforts or to be un-
sympathetic toward this international
movement for peace. Whether 1t sue

Because of the Il endlncss heretofore
exhibited by b yam. tuC CoIistituIlonaltst
Junta here b.iieves tm,it ne will oppose
any oCCupanCy Ut Ianlpico by the Unit
ed States. But il Is certain that any
attempt to ship arms and ammunition
from Havana into MeXIco will bring an
emphatic protest from the War Depart
ment, which. on its own initiative, has
been responsible for the restoration of
the embargo OF the northern Mexican
border.
The army holds il just as important
to keep munitions out Of the hands of
the rebels as from the Huerustas. Yet
IL the constItutionalistS do not get arms
they cannot carry OH their Mexico City
campaign. as they at pres snt have only
enough ammunition for the Saltillo, San
Luis Potosi, and Tampico campaigns,
now in progress.
Another question seriously troubling
the Administration is the disposition
to be made of three BraZilians, Pc
ruvian, and a Chilean held at Vera
Cruz after being caught red-handed
sniping American bluej ackets. They
were to have been trie.i b. a military
court. and it had been accepted they
would be ordered hanged. The Brazilian
ambassador has asked that they he pro-
tected. and il is believed they will be
ordered held without trial. Cor The pres
ent.
General Funston reported today that
there Is no serious danger to the water
supply cf Vera Cruz. although there
have been persistent rumorS that an at
tack would be made upon the Ameri-
can intrenchments at the waterworks.
He attributes the rumors to certain re-
marks made by General Mas.
The waterworks cannot be taken
from the Americans by force, said Cen
eral Funston, and IL the pipe lines are
cut they can be repaired without
trouble.
General Funston reported that there
is no actual movement of troops which
would substantiate the rumnrs of an
impending attack upon the waterworks.

HOKE SMITH SCORES

Georgia SoIon Declares Steam
ship Stockholders Are Lead
ing Attack on Administration

Democrats voted for the tolls eXemp-
tion bill two years ago, Hoke Smith told
the Senate this afternoon, because they
thought the cost of this exemption
would fall on all the ships using the
canal. Had they known that the entire
cost. under the plan figured out by
President Taft, would fall on the United
States Government, they would never
have voted for plain ship subsidy.
Smith explained that in order not to
violate another section OF the treaty
than the one which has been so much
under discussion, II was necessary to
fix tolls which would be fair If all ships
were charged. SO that the entire loss
of the tolls which would be charged
coastwise ships would fall on the United
States Treasury. constituting subsidy,
pure and simple.
I'VE permit foreign owned vessels
TO use our harbOrs and our rivers
without charge" he said. I'VE differ
entiate the Panama canal from our
harbors and rivers by charging tolls
against all foreign owned vessels and
by charging all vessels owned by citi-
zens Of the United States engaged in
foreign trade, so that We clearly dit-
fercntiatc it from our ports and
rivers.
Why should not the owners Of the
vessels engaged N coastwise traffic
hear also their part OF the expense OF
prise? Our coast~Is" trade is limited
Ly law to vessels owned by citizens of
the United States, foreign owned or
foreign mad Vessels cannot compete
witl. them for our coastwise traffic.
They are ALREADY enjoying a great de-
gree Of prosperity.

The suggestion that any Senator
would surrender the rights Of the people
Of the United States to any country
NAV be effective when presented with
highly colOred rhetoric TO the less
thouc htfuI of our citizens. but the great
body of our people are too intelIi-
gent TO become seriously disturbed by
srch statements. ! can see no occa-
sion for anyone to become excited un-

Speaking of the treaty obligations,
Smith declared. No speCious plea for
standing up 10 our own country
gainst Great Rritain should blind us.
We do not serve our country when
we aid or country to break its con-
tracts and be false to its obligations"
Talk Of terminating the Hay

point is absurd. 1t would terminate
our right legally TO nosscssinn OF the
