Wilson and Carranza.

In June, 1915. President wilson pro-
tested to Carranza against the latter $
snecial tax on Mexican mining prop
critics owned by foreigners, a tax
which amounted to confscation. In
September, Carranza refused to modify
the tax. On December Is, 1915. secre-
tary Lansing made vigorous protest
TO Carranza, pointing out that the law
was highly unjust and insisting that
This government would not recognize
II as constituting a lien on property
owned by Americans. This protest he
caused the American consul at San
Tmis potcsi to hand to Carranza in
nerson. 1t brought the reply that when
Luis Cabrera returned to Mexico the
confis catory tax would be further con-
sidered. On the tenth Of this month
Consul Silllman reported that the tax
had been reconsldered and that Car
rama refused to modify it.
It now remains TO be seen whether
President Wilson will make good bis
declaration that the tax will not be
recognized as a lien on the property OF
Americans. or whether he will bach
down, as he has done every time here
tofore that he has made an unequlVo'
cal demand on Carranza and Carranza
has snapped his fingers in Mr. Wilson:

r.Ront Plan Impracticable.

Germany could not have asked the
United States to agree to more recK-
less and impractical plan than 1t pro;
noses in the case OF submarines and
armed merchantmen" This statement
was made by one of the ablest lawyer
members Of the foreign relations COM
mittee. Congress might as we'll pass
a law declaring that 1t was not murder
IL a man shot any other man who was
armed. How is q Submarine COM
mander 10 determine that merchant
ship is armed and that he is thus war
ranted in sinking it without warning
if he neither declares his presence nor
boards it to ascertain? Many man
has been shot because during a quarrel
he inadvertently reached for his hip
pocket, even though he was not armed.
kuppose submarine commander sees
something on the deck OF merchant
vessel which he mistakes for gun
Under the German plan he would sink
the shin and investigate afterwards.
"of course the gravity OF the stu
alton grows out Of the criminal folly
of the Wilson administration in pro-
nosing such ridiculous scheme to
the Allies and thus encouraging Ger
MANY to believe that this government
would approve it. And there is no
doubt that the administration pur-
nosed to approve the plan and would
have done SO had It not been for Mr.,
Roots mastery speech, and Senator
Sterling's resolution. ,
"The only safe policy and the only
neutral policy for the United States
to pursue is to adhere strictly to in
ternational law and to refuse to listen
10 any proposal to modify It during
war. Every time we deviate from that
course we get into trouble. The only
real danger of the United States con-
sists OF the desperate desire OF Presi-
