HEATED DEBATE
Lodge of Massachusetts Attacks
President for Failure to Men,
tion Mexico in Message.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Mexican
troubles were subject to another de-
bate in the senate today. Senator
Lodge criticized the Administrations
attitude, declaring it all but too late
for the American government to adopt
a policy toward Mexico other than
military occupation. Lodge drew a
vigorous reply from Senator Stone,
who branded the Massachusetts se1a-
tors attack purely a partisan out
burst. Senator Borah Joined in the
discussion. This indicated general
airing of the Mexican situation in the
near future.
Lodge reviewed the history of the
Mexican disturbance from its i1cep-
ton at the time of the Madero revo-
luton, and declared anarchy existed
in the republic. He insisted that the
animosity of President Wilson against
Huerta directed his course OF admin
istration and the failure of the presi-
dent to mention Mexico in his last
message presumably meant he had no
policy to advance now that Huerta
was ousted.
Stone sharply arraigned Ledge for
precipitating a discussion of foreign
relations to America at this time,
when every effort is being made to
keep the nation peaceful.
