Washington, Jan. 1.-That Republicans

Firstly, they vii insist, it must be en-
tirely upon paper basis as present plans

Secondly, they will assert that Mr..
Daniels Submitted his big prospectus at
this psychological moment, expecting it
to have an effect on the attitude OF Grea t
Britain In the Peace Conference toward

supervision
The Republicans propose this agitation
solely for the political advantage that may

this will prove a dwindling asset.

MEXICO CHANGES TO U. S.
Carranza Steadily Manifested Hos
tility to Our Country
During the War.

H. Is obvious to officials that Mexico
must bc made poverlcss to disturb the
peace of North America, just as lnr-
KEY must rendered powcrless TO disturp
the peace of Europe. What measures
must be taken in either situation arc not
now evident. Indeed, they have not
been decided upon. -
The attitude of the Carranza Gov
ernmcnt during the war IS taken as the
basis for the strong position taken by
those familiar with affairs south OF the
Rio Grande that repressive measures
must be taken TO prevent raiqS ana The
disturb. nee of peaceful relations IN
i'm southern Texas and Arizona. While
Germany was at the height OF her mil
itarv power, and there was some uncer
taintv as to the issue of the War, the
Carranza Government leaned toward
friendly relat ions with the Hohenzollerns,
rs instanccd by many official acts, not
ably the congratulatory telegram To
the Emperor on his birthday. I'm
friendliness was manifested against the
Allies in attempts TO destroy the Tampico
oil wells on which the Allies fleet was
dependent for fuel. These facts arc
all shown in documentary evidence IN
government possessi n. German propagan-
dists in Mexico, under the direct COM
mand of Won Eckbard have never ceased
to this day to work against the United
States
At the present moment, and since
the beginning of the great drive which
ended in the defeat of Germany, the
Carranza Government has changed its
attitude, and IS now seeking more friend
" relations with the United States.
As officials view the situation, this play
ing fast and loose. and the play Of oppor-
tunist diplomacy. indicate total absence
of sincerity and dangerous situation
which auglIrs nothing more for the future
than what has been experienced IN the
past.
As officials view :he situation, the
United States desires perpetual peace
with Mexico The world has entered
a stage in which for the future there
must be .ahsolute guarantees Of peace.
But as TO the methods 10 be employed
III Menco. this constitutes problem
that must be solved IN the immediate
future.
