GOVERNMENT
Mayor Davis Thinks Pro
tests on Passport Regula-
lions Are Unbecoming.

1T is my personal opinion that pri-
vate citizens should not hamper the
government in the measures it is tax
ing TO carry on the existing war, and
for that reason / do not believe it jus
tifiable TO make vigorous protests
against the passport resolutions" said
mayor Charles Davis. Thursday
The rigidness Of the regulations
may affect some Of our private inter
ests, but the public interest should
come first at all times. We should
not presume that the government will
take any steps that viii affect private
interests without a thorough previous
consideration of the facts and con
clusion that public welfare demanded
the steps in question.
Says Government Knows Conditions.

effect were enacted some time ago. ]
am Informed. and meanwhile the gov
eminent has become thoroughly cOgnl-
zant of the business relations Of bOr-
der cities with Mexican points. 1t
must therefore have been concluded
that for the general good the passport
rules should be enforced. I repeat,
private citizens flood the government
with protests against a measure IL
considers necessary.
DeplOres Protests Pending.
"Of course. the government is not
always infallible, and individuals re-
tain. under our system Of free govern
ment, the right OF protest in cases
where extreme hardships are imposed
by the governments action. but this
does not warrant wholesale protests
against any measures taken by our
government, especially in an emergen-
cy like the present one"
