Q CUBSERVIENCY TO the lash of the White House
~ whip and to the dictates of King Caucus we're
tho distinguishing features Of the record Of Franklin
Brockson Democrat, who has just completed single
term as Representative in Congress from this state
and retired TO private life by dissatisfied and
indignant electorate.
Only once while he was serving in the House did
Mr. Brockson make conspicuous display of indepen-
dcnce of thought and action That was when he spoke
against and voted against President Wilson's Panama
Canal toll exemption repeal bill. And in that he
merely followed the lead of Speaker Champ Clark who
directed the House opposition that Presidential
measure.
If Mr. Brockson had been less suhservient to White
House and caucus influence aud moro subscryient TO
the wishes and regardtul Of the material interests Of
his constituents in his home State he would have
risen above legislative mcdiocry and gained some
measure Of credit for himself and the State he repre-
scntcd Unfortunately, he failed TO measure up to his
opportunities and thereby alicnaed from himself the
electorate of our State
lie doubtless realizes by this time that a public man
cannot preach the gospel of prosperity and the re-
ducod cost Of living and practice The policy Of hard
times and high prices and get away with it with the
Delaware people, who have suffered and stl arc suf-
fcring SO much at the hands OF the Wilson admins
traton His preaching and his practice must square
as to results
Even The most ardent friend Of Mr. Brockson cannot
show that they have done in his Disregard
( ing public protest he assisted in producing in
our city and State of economic deprcs-
sion that has had detrimental effect upon tens of
thousands OF and children whose inter
csts il was his duty 10 conserve, in the face of
orders the contrary from tho White House and the
Democratic caucus chamber. II is pity that the ll
effect OF his service cannot end with the termination
OF that service Unfortunately It will persist until
years hence. when the people goadod beyond ondur-
ancc by their economic distress, drive from public
and Nam, proffo
grcss just as they already have driven from public
power Representative Brockson and many other Demo
cratic members of Congress who blinded by partisan

The United States would lose its
self-respect and confess feebleness as
a nation if il did not protest vigor-
ously against the hybrid doctrine
which Great Britain and France pro-
claim, that their right to frame re-
taliatory measures against Germany
justies them in preventing "commod-
ities of any kind" from reaching or
leaving that country without formally
declaring a blockade. What the Al
lies propose is not a blockade, al
though IL is their aim to secure the
advantages of one. II has been wel
said that while the object of the
right OF a bclligerent to intercept
contraband in transit is TO cut oil
imports into an enemy's country, -
object of the bellsgercnt right of
blockade is 10 cut off both imports
and exports So TO gain their OBJ
ject and TO relieve themselves from
iho rigors and perils of a blockade

ever done before The United States.

In the British note of February 10
Sir Edward Grey said:
IF his Maiesty's Government
should hereafter feel constrained to
declare foodstuns absolute contra
band. or to take other measures for
interfering with German trade by
way of reprisals, they confidently eN-
pect that such action will not be
challenged on the part Of neutral
States by appeals to laws and usaScs
of war whose validity rests on their
forming an integral part Of that sys-
tenn Of international doctrine which
as whole. their enemy frankly
boasts the liberty and intention tc
disregard. so long as such neutral
states cannot compel The German
Government TO abandon methods O

MAY RECOGNIZE CARRANZA
Officials Confident Government j:
Near Definite Decision on
Mexico

Washington, Sept. l7-On the eve
of the third Pam American Mexican
conference. to be held in New York
tomorrow an element of confidence
exists in official and diplomatic CIR
cles here that the Government is APP
Lroaching a definite decision which
may lead to the recognition of Car
rama.
That Great Britain and France
nave been given to understand
country's willingness TO treat vita
that such may be the result Of this
Carranza on the question OF foreign
claims against Mexico, is indicated
by the action Of these two powers in
ordering their citizens and consuls
10 leave the territory in northern
Mexico controlled by Villa.
This action was taken following
conferences between the British ana
French ambassadors and Secretary
Lansing. II is exactly similar 10 that
already taken by this Government.
Whether Mr.. Lansing suggested
that Great Britain and France follow
the lead Of the United States, It IS
believed that the two ambassadors
were givento understand THAT the
United States is about to reach 4 ne-
cision which may arouse Villa ad-
herents to vigorous reprisals against
alI foreigners.
Secretary Lansing will leave Wash
inpton for New York this afternoon.
The conference. which will be held at
the Hote! BiItmore, will convene at :
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Inquiries in official circles develop
the impression that the Adminlstra-
ton is anxious to bring about a set
tement of the Mexican question be
fore the close fthe war in Europe,
believing that unless this is done Eu-
ropean powers will no longer be con-
tent to wait for this country to act.
Carranza's growing favor IN Wash
ington is undoubtedly due to his con
sistent military success.
