PRESIDENT WILSON KILLS OPEN TREATY DISCUSSION
Sends Letter to Sen. Hitch cock Explaining Position
 on "Open Diplomacy" AMENDMENT VOTED
 DOWN IN SENATE President Says He Meant Publication of Treaties After Their Ratification.

Washington, June 12-Pres- ident Wilson's, disapproval to- day killed a proposal in the senate for open discussion of treaties. Senators voted down, 50 to 23, an amendment by Sen ator Borah embodying the pro- posal, which had been offered as an amendment to the reso- lution of Senator Underwood of Alabama for curtailing senate debate during the war.
 President Wilson gave an inter- pretation today of his statement to- Congress last January in favor of "open diplomacy" To quiet the Sen ate controversy over the proposal of Senator Borah of Idaho for public consideration of treaties, the Presi- dent made it known that his advocacy of open diplomacy was not in refer ence to the Senate executive dis cussion of treaties, in which he recommends no change, but meant the publication of treaties after their ratification.
 The Presidents views were given in a letter to Secretary Lansing, copy of which was sent to Chairman Hitchcock, of the foreign relation committee.
 The letter said: q wish you would be kind enough to formulate a careful and conclusive memorandum for the use of the committee of the Senate with regard to the enclosed resolution. I take it for granted that you feel as I do, that this is no time to act as the resolution proscribes and certainly when I pronounced for open diplomacy I meant not that there should be no private discussion of delicate matters, but that no secret agreements would be entered into and that all international relations, when fixed, should be open, above board and explicit"
 The memorandum requested from Secretary Lansing was not submitted to Senator Hitchcock and was said not to have yet been completed.

PRESIDENT EXPRESSES
 SINCERE FRIENDSHIP
 FOR MEXICAN PEOPLE
Never Received Group of Men Who Were More Welcome Than Visitors at Capitol Last Friday-Tells Editors
 Present War Is for Idealistic Objects.

Havana, June 11.---By The Asso- ciated Press. President Wilson in his address to the Mexican newspaper editors in Washington last Friday ex- pressed sincere friendship for Mex leo. His address, which is printed in the morning newspapers here today, follows in part:
 T have never received a group of men who were more welcome than you because it has been one of my distresses during my presidency that the Mexican people did not more thoroughly understand the attitude of the United States toward Mexico. think I can assure you that that attitude is one of sincere friendship.
 "The policy of my administration toward Mexico was in every point based on the principle that the inter nal settlement of the affairs of Mexico was none of our business; that we had no right to interfere with or dic- tate to Mexico in any particular with regard to her own affairs. When we sent troops into Mexico our sincere desire was nothing else than to assist you to get rid of a man who was making the settlement of your affairs for the time being impossible. We had no desire to use our troops for any other purpose and I was in hope that by assisting in that way and thereupon immediately withdrawing I might give substantial truth of assur- Rnce that I had given your govern ment through President CarranZa.
 ''At the present time it distresses me to learn that certain influences, which I assume to be German in their origin, are trying to make wrong impression throughout Mexico as to the purpose of the United States, but to give an absolutely untrue account of things that happened.
 we are the champions of those na- tions which have not had the military standing which would enable them to compete with the strongest nations in the world and I lC.ok forward with pride to the time which I hope will bcme when we can give substantial evidence not only that we do not want anything out of this war, but that we would not accept anything out of it; that it is absolutely a case of disinterested action. And if yoJ will watch the attitude of our people you will see that nothing stirs them so deeply as the assurances that this war so far as we are concerned is for idealistic objects.

of pan-American agreement. l had perceived that one of the difficulties of our past relationships with Latin American was this. The famous Monroe doctrine was adopted without your consent and without the con- sent of any of the Central American or South American states. We said. We are going to be your big brother whether you want us to be or not.
 we did not ask whether it was agreeable to you that we should be your big brother, We said we ars going to be. Now that is all very well as far as protecting you from aggression from the other side of the water was concerned, but there was nothing in it that protected yor from aggression from us and l have repeatedly seen an uneasy feeling OF the part of your representatives of the states of Central and South Amer ica that our self appointed protection night be for our own benefit and our own interests and not for the in- terests of our neighbors. So l have said:
 Let us have common guarantee that all of us will sign a declaration of political independence and terrl- tcrial integrity. Let us agree that if any of us, the United States includ- ed, violates the political independence or territorial integrity of any of the others, all the others will jump on her XXX
 Now that is the kind of agree ment that will have to be the foun- cation of the future life of the na- tons of the world, gentlemen. The Whole family of nations will have to guarantee to each nation that no na- ton shall violate it's political inde- prndence or it's territorial integrity That is the basis-the only conceiv,. tle basis-for the future peace of the world, and I must admit that I was anxious to have the states of the two | continents of America show the way t0 the rest of the world as to how tc | Trake a basis for peace.
 Peace can only come by trust. .t YOU can once get a situation of trust then you have got a situation of per manent peace. Therefore, every one | of us owes it as a patriotic duty tc | lis own country to plant the seeds ot | trust and of confidence instead of the seeds of suspicion and variety ot | interest,"

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

First honors in the thirty-first week Of the laying contest were won by a Connecticut pen of Leghorns entered by George Phillips of Seymour. The weeks yield for this pen of ten birds was 61 eggs. Oak Hill Estates pen of the same breed from Union town, Pa, were a close second with a yield of 60 eggs. The Agricultural College pen of "Oregons" from Cor wallis, Ore, were in third position with 58 eggs to their credit. A. pen of Buff Wyandottes entered by H. P. Cloves, East Hartford, Conn.,, and Tom Baron's White Leghorns from Cat forth, England tied for fourth place with 57 eggs each. The total pro duction for all pens was 4,292, or a yield Of little over 61 per cent. This is nearly 100 eggs less than for the previous week and nearly 200 eggs under the yield for the corresponding week last year.
 From time to time there have been made in these columns various sugges- tions which are almost sure to make for better egg production. A partial enumeration of those factors that can

A re- cent survey of the situation as con- ditions actually exist on a number of farms in Connecticut proves almost conclusively that the successful poul- l tryman must get more than the aver age number of eggs. A great many hens are laying not more than eight | enough. One ought to get at least two or three more eggs a month which would meth ten to eleven dozen eggs a year, or else seriously consider the advisability of either relinquishing | the poultry game or else procuring better stock.
