MEXICANS CLASH WITH
AMERICANS
Peace Delegates Resent Americans
'Meddling With Their affairs And
are Told They Have More
Pride Than Sense.

New London Conn.,, Sept. lS:-Dls-
sension threatened to upset the Mexi-
can and American delegates almost
clashed on methods of procedure.
General Carranza's ENJOYS insisted
that the border question be settled
first and Mexican troops substituted
for General Pershing's army south Of
the Rio Grande. They declared EN-
phatically that the only reason for the
establishment if this joint commission
was to agree upon plan to protect
the frontier.
The American took far different
view. They explained that there would
be more border massacres and raids
unless Mexico is purged of certain p1-
litical, social and ecomic iniquities.
In reply, the Mexicans said that
Mexico intended to do its own house
cleaning in it's own way. They were
glad to inform the Americans of Cen
eral Carranza's reforms, but not as
part of the commissions official pro-
ceedings. uhe commission should not
try to reform Mexico, because it was
none of the commissions business,
they said.
Want Border Settlement.
: Luis Cabrera, the Mexican spikes
man, was particularly displeased by
7itii.r--st-hes from Mexico fty,-ast'ras
why the conference was discussing
the regeneration of Mexico. Another
telegram to Mr.. Cabrera was said to
have been by Gen. Carranha, COM
manding his envcys to drop all refolm
talk and hurry up the border settle
ment. After the morning conference
Mr.. Cabrera said:
These stories of the commission S
discussion of Mexican internal afairs
discourages me very much. The COM
missions only business is to arrange
Tor the protection Of the border. The
Americans have asked certain ques-
tions about other things, and it would
have been discourteous for us not to
have furnished this information.
More talk about such matters, how
ever, is no part of our official work.
The threatened rupture of today has
been developing for several days. Last
night one of the Carranza delegation
began to complain that the Americans
did not realize that the MeXicans were
a proud race. He was finally stopped
short by an American who said: "Inat
is lust the trouble. You have more
pride than common sense. You are too
proud even to let us help you"
The Mexican repied: Every time
the United States had had anything
to do with us we got the worst OF IT,
We cannot forget that we lost Cali
fornia and Texas"
The attack of Villas troops in Chi
huahua was interpreted by the MeXl-
cans as most favorable to Carranza'
They said that Carranza's troops had
hitherto experienced great difficulty IN
locating Villa. Now that Gen. Trevino
knew where the bandit chieftain was
"he would pursue Villa into the noun
tains relentlessly"

ties held abroad.
The demand for war material and
foOdstGffs, however, was so great that
| within two. years America has bought
back nearly all of her securities held
abroad, has loaned England and
France more than $1,000,000,000, and
has a balance Of trade on top Of that
of more than $2,000,000,000. These
sums, so tremendous that the mind
can hardly take it in, were not paid In
money, but in the way Of a credit In
the purchase of supplies in this coun'
try. The trade balances are no longer
settled in gold, but in credits based on
products. If this be true, then the
United States has made herself party
to the European imitation caused by
the war.
There is time coming, q long
ways off when, just as has occurred
after every war in history, there will
he IN effort to reduce an inflated cur
rency, and prices of products will 60
down lower and lower until the bot
tom is reached. But until that time
comes, the trend of prices for prod
lictS is upward, because products will
grow dearer as money and credit grow
cheaper. The general public has a
cheaper. The general public has a
dim idea Of this technical situation.
No cotton mill will contract for future
delivery on a basis under 16 cents.
Twenty cents a pound for cotton if the
present crop were 100000 bales,
would he no more with the money
situation as I have stated, than 10
cents in 1913.
With a demand for 100000 bales
of American cotton, and a crop whi h
| do not believe will turn out over H.
100000 bales, with Europe bare of
stocks Of raw cotton, and its goods
practically consumed, where should
cotton legitimately go when peace
comes, OF one thing l am sure; in
fiation Of money, easy credit, and the
spirit of feverish specu alton will put
cotton as much too high as it has
been too low. Wiping all this out, it is
easy to demonstrate that cotton, COM
pared with everything else, is worth
% cents pound today. Here is what
our people should do: Let the specu-
ators sell the paper cotton. The more
they sell, the higher it will go, when
they run to cover.
LET the farmer sell as slowly as
puSSiblG, ana when the mills demand
The actual cotton on these paper con-
tracts, a man can get almost anything
he chooses or asks for spot cotton.
This is the way to recoup the losses OF
the past few years. If we would hold
cotton off the market 10 days it would
20 above 20 cents. Then it would be
just as easy for it to range from 20
cents upwards as from Is cents down,
for nobody will sell cotton under 10
cents under present conditions, ex-
rept from ignorance. When the Oc-
tober report shows that the crop Is
practically gathered, and the shorts
stare to cover, here is bound to be a
stampede. When this is over, the
world must face the ineXOrable logic
that the price of cotton must go up to
a point where the consumption will
re curtailed. Let any man ask him
self the question. Where is such a
point, when war imitation makes mon
