RADICAL CHANGE
IN MEXICAN POLICY
Carranza Warned That
Murders and Out :.
\ RACES Must Cease
MAKE FIRST MOVE

Washington. - President Carranza
and the Mexican government has been
warned that Americans must be pro
tected in future. .a
The first definite move toward the
long expected changes in policy in
dealing with Mexico was disclosed on
Thursday.
Carranza has been warned that If
the murders and 0utrages of Ameri-
cans continue, the United States "lnay
be forced to adopt radical change
in it's policy with regard to Mexico"
With the announcement at the state
department however, came no author
itative indication of how far the Amer
lean government is preparing to go to
enforce what lacks only the diplo-
matte technicalities of an ultimatum.
The government announced its ac-
ton by publishing an exchange Of
notes with Mexico City, and prefaced
its official statement with the expla-
nation that the diplomatic representa-
tons referred to had been taken in
view Of the long series of murders
and outrages of American citizens in
Mexico, eliminating in the murder of
Peter Catron in San Luis Potosi last
month, and the perpetrators of other
acts in disregard of American lives and
property
The communication to Mexico is
couched in probably the strongest Ian
guage used in any from this govern
ment since the exchanges preceding the
Vera Cruz occupation.
All official Washington began at
once looking behind the official text
seeking some reason for an impending
change of policy, for which there has
been demand in and out of congress.
Pressure from foreign governments
and pressure in congress which is
preparing an investigation OF the
whole Mexican situation were among
those most commonly discussed.
Outwardly there was no reason ap-
parent except the long and growing
list of outrages on Americans.

COST OF LIVING
BEING REDUCED
Prices Beginning to Turn
Downward Says At
torney General
WANT FAIR CHANCE

Washingten.-prices are beginning
to turn downward in various parts OF
the country, but the slump has not yet
gathered momentum sufficient to af-
feet purchases for immediate use, ac-
cording to reports to the department
of justice. ..g.s
Attorney General Palmer, asked how
soon results could be, expected from
the campaign to reduce the cost Of
living, said all the government wanted
was fair chance to show what could
be done to take the artificial initiation
out of the market. He said officials
were well pleased with the. success so
far attained and that cumulative re-
suits We're expected when congress
enacts amendments to the f0Od-cOntrol
law by which criminal penalties can
be imposed on profiteerS and hoarders.
I'VE hope the public will begin to
reap the benefit of our efforts before
long," Mr.. Palmer said. ''For instance,
we are making progress in obtaining
promises from shoe manufacturers as
to fixing a limit beyond which prices
shall not GO"
Propaganda which is apparently ma
tion-wide, on the part of shopkeepers
seeking to induce purchases now on
the preteXt that prices will be mate
rally higher next season, was con
demned by Mr.. Palmer as one certain
thing which would make prices con-
tinue rising if needed. His attention
was called to advertisements in va
rious PAPERS stating straw hats, cloth
ing and other non-perishable articles
should be bought before next years
prices become eiieetive.
1T is very unfortunate that some
merchants take that attitude, and we
have been studying the situation" the
attorney general said Extensive pur-
chases now, reducing the supply and
increasing the demand, would make
their predictions come true, whereas
we hope for normal price level If
the people do not stampede into q
buying hysteria.'

PALMER STAYS
BAN ON LIGHT BEER
Wartime Prohibition
is in Effect, But
Brewers Win
WILL MAKE FIGHT

Washington.-As wartime prohibi,
ton tooK erect on June 80, the de-
partment OF justice announced that It's
agents throughout the country would
not attempt to stop the sale of TX
per cent beer.
This eleventh hour development, a
flat reversal of an earlier ruling by
the department, was due TO the uncer-
tainty as to how the federal district
court of New York might rule on a
pending CLAIM by brewers that beer
containing that much alcohol was not
Intoxicating.
But while this uncertainty existed
as to beer of lighter alcoholic percen-
tage than that sold heretofore, full
warning was given that with respect
to whiskey and all beverages as to
whose intoxicating powers there was
no doubt, every government agency
would be set to work in a determined
effort to prevent their manufacture
aIltl odlCs
How long the sale of ~ per cent
beer might continue would depend
ordinarily upon the speed OF the
courts, but congress, meanwhile, will
step to the front in an effort to COM
plete the effectiveness Of the wartime
law.
When word spread Monday that the
attorney general, by his ruling, had
permitted beer saloons and breWeries
to remain in operation, members OF Tue
judiciary committee counted noses to
find a sufficient number ready to 60
to the front to demand separation OF
the enforcement measures, so as to get
through at once a bill that would stop
the sale of all beer containing more
than one-half Of one per cent alcohol.
