LANSING ANXIOUS NOT

~ UNHNMt0 De t9QAtkEHQ 0OG,
Il regret" said Mr.. Lansing, that
the context of my comments was not
given in full, because it would have
showed that / was referring to a con
dition in which the Mexican authori-
ties had employed every means which
they possessed or should have pos
sessed to protect the lives and prop
erty of aliens in a Mexican commun-
ity. II the authorities failed to pro
vide means Of protection or to use
SUCH means the statement attributed
to me would not apply.
ITO avoid being misunderstood as
to this governments Interpretation OF
the rule of international law on the
subject of responsibility on the part
Of Mexico for the safety of Americans
In that country, ! make the following
statement:
while in general there il presumed
TO be no difference between the rights
OF aliens and the rights OF natives to
be treated fairly and justly under local
laws and by the local authorities,
nevertheless, should the opinion of 10.
cal laws or acts Of commission or

Of adequate protection Of their lives
or property 1t is the privilege as well
as the right Of this government, under
international law, by diplomatic inter
vention to see to it that Justice is ac-
corded to its citizens and their rights
given proper protection.
THE reason for this is that, when
a condition of political unrest and
lawlessness exists such as obtains III
certain parts OF Mexico, aliens being
denied proper protection by the a Il
thorities must rely on their govern
ments, operating through diplomatic
channels to obtain justice and security,
This is a general statement and Il
basis Of the policy followed BY this
government, when It is necessary, sub
ject to modification in particular
cases.
IT should be borne in mind, how
ever, that the accepted law and prac-
tice of nations is that as d rule, it
must be shown that a foreign govern.
ment is responsible for injustice done
to- aliens or that its constituted aa-
thorities are negligent in protecting

vising them that it is impossible for the

Secretary Lansing's note to the rep

states that Mr.. Walsh and his associ-

ing in a long letter in which he said:
I'VE beg to advise you that no per-

GERMANY STILL THINKS
SHE HAS A CHANCE FOR
REFUSAL OF PEACE TERMS

Berlin, Monday, May 26.-The ques-

tonight depends altogether on whether
the allied and associated powers will
agree to a plebiscite in all disputed
territories and the reception of Ger
many into the league of nations as n
member with an equal vote. Both these
issues are made the cardinal features
of the German reply which has been
approved by the cabinet and Count
Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau and his asso-
ciates and which is being put into shape
for presentation within the next thirty
six hours.
The German reply to the allied peace
terms will agree that the German army
shall be 1000, 900 men on a peace footing
but will urge that this limit be not
enforced until conditions are thorough
ly established.
