IMPERILLING RELATIONS
 WITH MEXICO

It is highly important that this great nation supply no firearms or unnecessary weapons to the dangerous factions in the Mexi- can Republic by hostile acts of Congress or state legislatures.
 There are two ways of estab- fishing permanent friendly rela- tions with the Mexican Republic:
 1. By fairly conducted business investments and industrial enter prises backed by American capi- tai in Mexico.
 2. By fair treatment of nearly a million Mexican laborers and Spanish-American population in the border states.
 This means equality before the law in the legislatures of the bor- der states. That right to equal treatment as human beings is trampled under foot in a bill re- ferred to by the Phoenix Gazette as "a disgrace to Arizona.
 It says: This bill is mistake. It is an indictment against citi- zens of the state who speak the Spanish language. It is aimed at the Mexican and seeks to de- prive him of the right to work in industrial and agricultural camps alike, unless he can carry on a conversation in English.
 Tn the bill the Mexican may dig ditches and that is all, so far as hazardous occupations are con- cerned. The bill would imply that Mexicans must speak the English language as we'll as the most gifted senator before he can  qualify to enter a mine or drive a tractor or follow a blow.
 ''The chief opponent to the bill, for 35 years a resident of the GIobe-Miami mining district, said that copper, like cotton to- day, has practically no market, and to put such a bill into opera tion would shut down the mines, throwing out of work 10000 men in his own district and pauperiz- ing all Gila county, or 50,0 per sons.
 He said it is an impossibility for old Mexicans to learn English sufficiently to carry on a conver- sation but that they knew enough English to take and execute or ders of bosses.
 He said that as examining physician of the local board there he had seen young Mexicans go away to war while Mexican fath- CTS answered the call of MT. Will son and helped to mine much needed copper for the war.
 These men could not speak English in fine. clear periods, like senators, but they worked in haz- ardous occupations faithfully and
