Mexico: The End OF One Policy
and the Opening Of Another?

All signs indicate that the Admin
~istratlon is about to begin a new
chapter Of Mexican policy. That be-
ing so. the present is the right time
for THE Sun to free its mind respect
ing the contents Of the chapter now
closing, and to say plainly that which
millions, of other Americans have
thought, and for reasons Of loyalty
have left unsaid, during the past two
years and a half.
1t can be done in precious few
words. Probably history will never
be able to fix the precise alssortion-
ment of responsibility. as between
President WILSON and his former
Secretary of State. for the miserable

waiting has meant scarcely more
than a fictitious moral activity that
expended itself in words Of empty al.
truism, and a practical passivity that

and uncounted millions Of American

do it.
The wife of the Mayor was the guest
of honor at the opening of the votes

Her meal consisted Of cold ham, tea.
prunes and chocolate cake. This was
because she came too late for the reg

occasion of much woe for Mrs. James
Lees Laidlaw, chairman Of the borough
of Manhattan of the Woman Suffrage
party, under whose auspices the lunch
room was established.
Isn't il too bad?" she mourned.
"Poor Mrs. Mitchell didn't get anything
but a slab of ham and some chocolate
cake
Mrs. Laidlaw hadn't noticed the
prunes. but they were the first thing
that caught the eye Of George B. Nc
