satisfied it is entirely feasible to raise
the amount that would be required from

not be raised by conservative levies upon

Several Sources of Additional Rev

Increased or added taxes on inherit

war, with possibly some increases in
liquor taxes and similar staples, may be
adopted by the democrats in Congress as
a means of raising sufficient revenue for
the increased army and navy appropria-
lions and to make up the deficit in the
Treasury, and at the same time they may
drop the existing war tax law. This be-
came known last night when Senator

he and a number of other senators held

Manuel CaIero Wants 0ppor-
tunity Given Them to Work
Out Own Destiny.
WRITES SENATOR WORKS
OPPOSING Intervention
Recipient of Letter Replies That
Mexico Is Unable to Establish
Stable Government.

Declaring that during the last three
years the United States has been med
ding to an incredible extent in the
Mexican imbroglio." Manuel Calero. am
bassador from Mexico to the United
States during the Madero regime. has
written to Senator Works of California
criticising his resolution calling for in
tervention in Mexico by this country
Mr.. Calero demands that the Mexicans
be given an opportunity to work out
their own destiny, and calls attention
to the long struggle of her people to-
ward liberty and free government. Mr..
Calero is now located in New York.
Replying to Calero, Senator Works
said that today Mexico has no govern
ment. and that it had been clearly in
dicated there were no prospects of the
establishment of a stable government
in that country. While agreeing with
Mr.. Calero that the course of the pres
ent administration in meddlinE with
Mexican affairs had been entirely un-
warranted. Senator Works said he be-
neved the United States owed it to hu-
manity now to step in and bring order
out of chaos in the southern republic.

Senator Works Replies.

In his letter to Mr. Calero Senator
Works defended his resolution. He
pcinted ont that while Mexico had for
a long time had the form of free and
liberal government, the people had
never been able to maintain such a
government.
To-day Mexico mas no government,
he said. Its constitution and laws
provide uo protection TO the lives, the
liberty or the property of its people.
The same is true Of the citizens and
subjects of other nations. Anarchy.
murder and rapine reign supreme and
without restraint.
WHY are you writing from a
of Mexico's best people living in exile?
Because they no longer have a govern
ment to which they can return and be
protected by its laws or any consti-
tuted authority.
"Carranza has no government His
pretense of government is wholly law
less He holds no credentials, no evil
dence of authority from any lawful
source.
Very Much to Be Regretted"
You are quite right in saying that
the President of the United States has,
without authority, interfered with and
attempted TO control the internal af
fairs of your country, and that this in
terference has made conditions worse
Instead of better. This is very much to
be regretted.
But the real question. after all, is
what is the duty or obligation of the
United States to the Mexican people.
primarily and ultimately to the whole
of humanity under existing conditions
in that unfortunate country"
Senator Works said that IL the United
States intervened in Mexico ii must not
be for conquest or gain.

Extracts From Letter.

In his letter to Senator Works, Mr.
Calero said:
Mexico is passing through a crisis
such as we see frequently in every
country so i'll prepared for the practice
OF democratic government. Your peo-
pic brought from England all the sacred
liberties that have been won by CEN
turies of tragic strife. We MeXicans
are in different condition
He then discussed the history of MeXi-
co from the invasion by the SpaniardS
down to the present, and continued:
Nobody who has followed the his
tory of Mexico during the last three
years can deny that the government
of the United States has been meddling
to an incredible extent in the Mexican
imbroglio. 1t has gone SO far as the
forcible occupation of a part of the
Mexican territory to carry on its
policy of intervention. Its interference
cannot have the relative excuse of
being aimed at the protection of
American interests. 1t has to be solely
attributed to President Wilson's pas
sion for the submerged IS per cent
who are struggling toward liberty
Where is the law, divine or human,
vesting the President of the United
States with authority to undertake
such. an enterprise? What right had
he in order to appease his passion
noble though it may be, to intervene
in the troubles of foreign popula-
ton? And all this done by him who
has not even the necessary prepara-
tion for understanding the Mexican
people whose language, history and
composition are unknown to him.

Saws President Wilson Failed.

IN any case the President has failed.
He has been instrumental in creating
situation that you have so admirably
described in your resolution. He him
self doubts today the benefit his work
has brought about. His last error was
the recognition a de facto govern
ment of something that is de facto
di nization and anarchy.
Both morals and law teach that 1t
is not the business of the United States
to create or help create government
tr Mexico to crafty the favorite
theories of the man who happens to
be the American President.
Because the policy of Intervention
has failed. would it be legitimate to
go further and substitute for II the
policy of armed invasion" wrong
is never corrected by another wrong.
Mr. Calero said that the Mexican peo-
ple had not had chance to settle their
troubles by themselves. and that they
should be given such a chance. He said
that Huerta was dead. ana the Fresi-
dent no longer had him as an excuse
to NEEDLE in Mexico.

INDIAN HISTORY

The first real history of India in the English language was published nearly a century ago by James Mill, who devoted to it's production twelve years of painstaking labor and re- search. Mill, who died eighty years ago today, June 23, 1886, was the father of the celebrated philosopher and political economist, John Stuart Mill. James Mill had eight other chill dren, and he personally conducted the education of all of them. although busily engaged as a journalist and author. Up to the time Mill wrote his History of British India'', the student desirous of obtaining histor- ical information regarding that coun- try had to wade through a multitude of books and documents. MilPs his tory is not a brilliant performance from a literary viewpoint, but for ac- curacy it has never been surpassed by any of the many subsequent his- torica1 works dealing with Britains s great Asiatic empire. As the result of his work Mill was offered a lucra- tive position with the East India Co. and lived in comparative affluence un- til his death, which was due to tub- ercu1osis-
