SHILLY-SHALLYING

TINE -shallying of the Wilson
administration in the Mexican
controversy has demonstrated
conclusively the wavering and uncer-
tain character of the present national
authorities.
Having repudiated Huerta as one
whose hands were stained with blood
and therefore could not be recognized
10y the United States. the President
now throws the arms of friendship
around Carranza. who has established
himself in power through the same
methods which forced Huerta into
exile.
Thus the whirligig of national poll
cies continues to spin around the
myriad questions which confront the
administration. Unfortunately for this
country. the diplomats of the world
look with contempt upon the drifting
attitude of the Wilson administration
in all the big matters which concern
the welfare of the American people.
1t is not surprising that with one
accord the sentiment of the public is
rising against the spineless conduct of
affairs that has placed this nation in
the most humiliating position possible
before the world.
