Mexican Policy Abandoned

OR some time past the trend of events
including both movements along the
border and the unsatisfactory outcome of the
Joint Mexican commissions work has pre-
pared the way for the announcement now
made. apparently on good authority: that
in the future this government will deal with
the Mexican de facto government OH a
strictly formal basis To this country. the
adoption OF that policy will mean colnpa ra-
lively little beyond 4 more rigid guard of the
border. But to Mexico il will necessarily
mean more internal disorder and not inn
probably the downfall of the Carranza gov
crnmcnt.
In answer to the violent insistcnce Of in
tcrcsted persons. or of enemies of the admin
istration. that this government should inter
lcrc. even intervene. in Mexico, ii has been
explained time and again why this course has
been avoided by the President For one
thing, armed intervention in Mexico for the
purpose OF enforcing quiet in that distracted
country would mean years Of guerrilla war
iarc. carried on With present leaders and
others certain to spring up The chief rca-
sou. however. has been one that the cynical
and the selfish could not appreciated the Pres
idents dream that Mexico would he able 10
work out its own salvation. provided the
United States continued to pursue its policy
of hopcfulncas and helpfulncss.
1t that policy that led the President
10 refuse TO recognize the murdcrouS Huerta
WHO hdu risen 10 power ny violence alone,
based on no claim OF right The President
saw that recognition Of that drunken In
dian would hold out reward to other am
bilious and INSCRIPTIONS fighting men. Ii
was that policy that led The President TO
recognize Carranza. because The First Chief
seemed more alive TO the needs OF the people
more sincere in his purpose to better condi-
tons Tor the wrctchcd McXicans. And it was
that policy that inspired him with patience
in all his dealings with CarranXa, even when
the First CHIEF deliberately affruntcd this
government.
When Villa made his raid on Columbus the
President sought the cooperation of Car
rama. Instead OF help. our troops have been
hamDcrcd, and actually attacked, by Car
rama S men. Nor has Carranza made one
single honest effort to apprehcnd Villa or
any other bandit. ON account OF the Colum bus
raid or any other. Now Of course his troOps
are fighting Villa. because Villa mcnaccs Car
rama himself. And Villa has openly stated
that. as soon General Pcrshng's column
IS withdrawn, he will prove his ability 10
bring order into Northern Mexico which
means that without the American troops
which have exercised certain restraint i'm
behalf Of Earranza the First Chief will not
be able to withstand him.
IL is apparent that the policy of hopeful-
ness and helpfuncss has ontlived its oppor-
tnn,tics. The de facto government gives little
reason for hope, and will accept no help
Nothing remains except to withdraw our
troops from Mexico and 10 let the Carranza
government fight il out by itself. The Presi-
dents purpose was lofty. but Carranza has
made its !uliillmcnt impossible

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The at
tention of both houses of congress
was concentrated today on the Gore
Lever food production bill, the first
of the administration measures. de-
signed To solve the food problem.
Prospects for a vote are uncertain
but there were indications that it
might be disposed Of early next
week by both houses.
Those in charge of the measure
have endeavored TO keep it unin-
numbered of amendments likely 10
produce opposition. The bill is de-
signed to meet some Of the immeGi-
ate pressing problems Of the food
prices during the war period.
Despite these intentions, however,
a strong movement has been in
itiated in the senate TO amend the
bill to prevent speculation In food
products. Sen. Walsh of Montana.
has offered an anti-speculation
amendment which will be before the
senate today.
The prohibitiOnists are reserving
their fire for a mighty effort when
the main food bill is brought up.
The bill now before the two
houses provides for n national sur
vey of food supplies and prices, for
distribution Of seeds by the depart
ment Of agriculture. for a nation
wide educational campaign 10 pro-
mote food conservation and prevent
waste and for extension of the mar
ket news service now conducted by
the department OF agriculture.
There are signs of reaction in con-
gress in legislating on the food
question. Speeches are being made
i'm both houses cOndemning the
widespread propaganda of food
shortas &c as being responsible for the
high prices.

LONDON, May 2S.-Every indica-
ton today pointed 10 the fact that
the hour is at hand when the fate
of Russia will soon be definitely
known. There has been much ac-
tivity among the Russian military
authorities lately. while NJ. Keren-
sky. the war minister. is on his way
TO the front.
These activities, however. are
being counterbalanced by the inter
ference of the council OF workmen's

gram from Petrograd today
Gen. Alexieff, the Russian COM
mander-in-chief, has been rebuked
by the leaders of the organization
and ordered Ito do less talking"
Gen. Alexieff's foes among the
council, are threatening him with
a reduction Of rank
These reports coupled with the
information that anarchy prevails in
some parts Of Russia have led to a
gloomy view of the Russian situa-
ton.
The big question which arises in
the mind of the British and French
statesmen as the decisive moment
approaches is this:
"WiH the pro-German pacifist
forces in PetrOgrad win out in their
struggle for a separate peace or will
the growing dissensions among the
Russian political leaders themselves

RomanOff regime TO attempt a coun-
