SITUATION is THE SAME

Thus far since the announcement of
change in the Mexican policy by
the Washington government no i'm
provement in conditions has been OBJ
served. The distribution of food to
the inhabitants is of the first import
ance and nothing has yet been done
in the way of relief.
A ship load of food is in the har-
bor of Vera Cruz and it cannot be
sent into the interior, because the
Mexican authorities will not give as
sistanee or guarantee it's delivery to
the suffering MeXicaDs. Along the
Texas boundary, local officials are in
terferrjng with the plans of the Red
Cross for takiug food into the country
and none is going forward.
A country that will not permit the
gratuitous succor of its own people is
a poor country to try to DO anything
for. In the name of charity, the
United States is likely to create a
condition of war and in the event ''oi
war, the ones to whom that charity
is directed would turn against Their
benefactor. Rt

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD

The general government has per-
mitted it TO be understood that it
will object to the purchase of several
steel plants in the United States by
the German government.
The transfer of the plants to the
German interests would open up
trouble with the allies that might
lead to war, for the allies have made
contracts with the plants for the de-
livery of munitions of war that would
not be delivered In case the factories
were placed under German control.
The department of Justice is to in
terpose legal objections to the tran g.
fer OF the plants of the Remington
company at Hartford, Con, the Beth
lehem works at Pittsburg, the Cram p
ship works at Philadelphia, the -Four
River ship building works in Massa-
chusetts and two San Francisco
plants.
| Hundreds OF millions of dollars are
| involved in the deals, through which
Germany intends to cut off the supply
of munitions to the allies.
Here is another source of trouble
that will make the United States g
bone of contention between the war.
ring hosts of Europe. 1t will in
crease the chances of war for this
country, with both sides to the con
