A POLICY OF CONCEALMENT

President Wilson has not only been
guilty Of a spineless policy towards
Mexico. mixed with an amateur diplo-
macy that has caused Americana TO
blush for their country. but the ad-
ministration with some sense OF its
deficiency has attempted to cover its
s;upendous errors by suppressing the
appeal OF American citizens marooned
In Mexico. The truth. perhaps. never
would have leaked out IL our cha
grined countrymen had held their
peace. The revelations come from
Mexico City. not Washington. These
beleaguered citizens OF the United
! States report receiving cold comfort
from the State Department to their
requests for protection. mainly CON
slsting in suggestions 10 leave the
country.
Rather incensed at the Indifference
OF the Washington government. il is
not surprising that committee of
Americans in Mexico City. on March

tinuins 10 pile up evidence OF HE total
Inhtness for the position he occupies.

Has exhibitions are not only marvel
oas for their bad taste. but are oGscial-
ly improper. Judgments and decisions
OF the character Mr. Walsh has been
making through public statements are
more properly the function OF the
Commission through its hnal reports.
Mr.. Walsh states his conclusions with
a total disregsrd OF the existence OF
the other commissioners.
The Industrial Relations Commits
sion was originally designed to in
quire into the causes OF the languish-
ing condition Of the industries Of the
country and the unemployment OF
countless workingmen. but under
Chairman Walsh's manipulation IL has
been prostituted for political advant-
age: its inquiries have been farcically
partial. and its INVESTIGATIONS irrela-
tive OF the original provocation for
It's existence. II has done absolutely
nothing towards relieving deplor-
rble condition Of affairs. but. on the
contrary. has only aggravated the
muddy perplexities OF the situation.
Mr. Walsh. through an unnatural an.
tipathy to capital in any OF its activi-
ties. has now re-opened what was sup
posed to have been closed incident.
by making false accusations against
former Governor of Colorado, by
connecting him in confidential rela-
tionship with the Rockefeller inter
esis. Ex-Governor Ammon calls him
plain liar. while the Rockefellers
protest against his malicious repre-
sensations. Isn't n about time for
President Wilson. or whoever IL re-
