THE MEXICAN SITUATION


Sir-General Carranza's proposition that
the United States agree to withdraw the
punitive expedition from Mexico shows
sttto things reohclusively: First that Car
rtin2a's irolicy;never had'a footing in Mexico
except withi the element that could dictate
sto hima,fSo long as Carranza danced to
their mtisic7and was theirttool they tolerated
himT That lis the power that is backing
caused the power of the Carranza army
being transferred from Carranzas hands to
the more willing tool. Obregon. This is
virtually what has happened since the puni-
tive expedition vert into Mexico. and the
incident OF Parral and the Big Bend raid
have proved that Carranza is only a figure
head In the Mexican affairs. Second It
never was intended by any faction of Mex
leo that the United States forces should
meet with success. They have been a him
drance instead of a help since the expedi-
tion started. The biggest help the Obregon
army could have given would have been to
disband and go home. Instead of doing so,
Obregon raises an army of about $4,000
men and says Stop" Now, what Is the
next move? From all indication the border
conference has been waste of time and
the expedition has been marking time in the
mountains of Mexico. According to reports,
President Wilson has come to the end of
his patience, and no matter what the Mexico
official attitude, the expedition will go on;
and Carranza, in order to hold his figure-
head position, will plunge In as Villas
champion, virtually committing suicide and
taking his country with him.

WAR AND THE BISHOP
he Editor OF Evening Ledger:


Sir-I read the article headed ''Episco-
palians Hear War Talk by Rhinelander" ("
OF all the ambiguous talk have ever tried
to wade through. this was the limit. The
statement that the war SIS in our behalf"
is ridiculous. What have we to do with
the European war? Who is interested In
prolonging 1t outside Of few millIonaires
and whom do they representa-
Do they believe in right against might?

each other to pieces like lot OF wild ami
mails why should we emulate them?

man, or set of men. that wants 10 plunge
us into war unnecessarily! The uneducated
people are not the ones who are responsible
for the European war, or for the senseless
intervention talk in this article you print
today. Any attempt at Intervention would
be almost sure to meet with tremendous
opposition-in fact, I believe II would cause
a civil war-and any man who would ad-
vocate 1t should be placed under restraint

TO the Editor Of Evening Ledger:


Sir-Your editorals,"A Nation OF Vii.
layers and Better Panic" sum UP the
situation in the United States In an accu
rate and masterful manner. and 1t Is to be
regretted that the indictment cannot re-
ceive nationwide publicity.
1t would seem that the country is poorly
represented in Congress. and that the
peoples representatives are outrageously
Inefficient Such inefiiciency in any private
business organization would be thrown out
bodily. Unfortunately for the country, 1t
cannot discharge at will its servants IN
Washington. 1t would seem that nothing
short of an armed uprising would, or
could, bring about any change or the sub
stitutlon of efficient legislators for those
in place at present; but a mere editorial
will not bring about a change. national
concerted movement on the part of infiu-
entail newspapers might be great step In
the right direction.
What the country needs Is a great leader
and a psychologist purge. II 1t requires
a force of arms to put in proper condition.
I do not believe these would be lacking.
The time is ripe for the man who has
the idea. the power and the will to start
a movement which will clean out the dry
rot In Congress and install businesslike ad-
minlstrators who will work for the coun-
trys good. '" L.
