II there has been tone of menace IN

"How much more delay" asks
"The Philadelphia Inquirer" Is
there to be before the United States
government adopts some effective
measures for the protection OF
American rights in Mexico?" The
paper then goes on to say:
ale (Carranza) has been trying 1or
long time to coorce the foreign own
ers into complying with his demands
and thereby to facilitate the execution
of the confscatory programme "hlch
no has formulated, but as they do not
care to assist in the robbery Of which

Troops have been sent by his orders to

and to compel an abandonment of their

protest sent by the Department OF

formed that permits would not be
granted to companies which had not
complied with the laws that is, had
not surrendered their legal rights.

but the better he Is treated the more

but the better he Is treated the more
dissatisfied he becomes.
"Carranza seems impervious to every
argument thus far used. Generous
treatment does not affect him. He is
gratitude proof. He does not, appar-
emily, care what happens to Mexico.
But one argument has not thus far
been used. 1t is simple and direct
statement that the open season for
foolishness is over and that American
rights must and shall be respected"
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
is one of many other newspapers OF
this country to evince intolerance
with the persistent Mexican prob
lem. Says this paper:
evidence multiplies that the Mexl-
can situation, so far as concerns our
own relations with that republic, Is
rapidly going from bad to worse. And
President Wilson will face the impera-
tive necessity upon his return, when he
can find time to turn from his presen-
tation of the case for the treaty and
the league of nations, or even before
that, If formulating definite policy for
dealing with Carranza and his studied
attitude of hostility to this country arc
lis apparent determination to destroy
every vestige of property rights by for
eigners in the Mexican oil lands. Our
own immediate interest, of course, is
the protection of the property and
rights of those Americans who have
acquired by legitimate purchase and
painful and costly development large
oil producing properties in Mexico.
But the American interests are not the
only ones that are threatened with
arbitrary confscation under the pre-
tence of taxation and regulation, and
the other nations are looking to US for
the protection of their rights. There
is not great deal to commend in the
past handling of the Mexican situation
by our own government. There have
been far too many alterations of policy,

TINE Mexican Situation"

TINE Mexican situation
comes consistently to the
- fore again with the an
nouncement by State De-
partment officials Tuesday that the
Southern republics ban on oil OPP
erations in Mexico by American COM
panies and the sending of soldiers
into the oil fields to drive away the
workmen engaged in drilling con-
stitute an "overt act" The act
amounts to one of confscation, In
the Interpretation Of this govern
ment. Complaint had been made to
the Mexican government on April z
last on the same grounds. President
Carranza then announced that no
permits, provisional or other, would
be granted until the American COM
panies had complied with the law of
Mexico regarding operation of oil
properties by foreign individuals.
State Department officials say the
compliance with the law" demanded
by Carranza would constitute recog-
milton by the companies of the Next
can governments ownership of the
lands acquired by the Americans for
oil development purposes.
This latest development in CONT
mental diplomacy brings forth the
following comment by The New York
Tribune:
"When the President returns he will
6nd the Mexican problem still on his
desk as unfinished business. 1t IS the
same old NANCY cur that Uttered up the
premises seven months ago.
"Since the downfall of Germany it
has seemed at times as if Carranza
were threatened with an improvement
in manners. But he has shaken off the
weakness, and is again at the task OF
biting the hand that fed him. He owes
all he is to the indulgent tolerance Of
President Wilson and OF this country,

day came very largely from trade
sources, while outside interests have
shown a disposition to realize APPARENTLY
more on general principles than for any
specific reason as there has been no
change in crop and spot advices which
remain as bullish as ever. while people
who are just back from Washington say
that the labor situation is really much
less threatening than indicated by the
reports in the papers.
However, there will be some condition
reports the next few days winding up
with the government report on october

even though the figures prove very pull

price and that the reaction long due the

opening here a great deal of cotton
was sold. the idea being that as frost
had failed to appear it was well to take
profits after the recent sharp advance
The offerings were fairly we'll absorbed.
but as no frost outside buying appeared
prices eased off. The weekly weather
report was unfavorable, but failed to
stimulate outside buying; in fact, the
south was pretty free seller of hedges
during the entire day. Many feel that
the market is high enough for the mo-

any moment.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
