DryS Balk at Cider

The dry" members of Congress
suddenly got cold feet when an
amendment was offered in connec-
ton with the prohibition bill put
ting a ban on cider; and the amend
ment was defeated by vote of 76
to 16 Notwithstanding the fact that
it had been demonstrated previous
ly during the day. by statistics from
the Department of Agriculture, that
fermented cider contains from s to
10 per cent of alcohol and is there.
fore unquestionably intoxicating
Apparently the introduction of the
cider amendment was merely a
trick of the "wets." but the incident
serves to point out the fact that,
while there is an unquestionable
desire in Congress to promote pro-
hibition. there is much delicacy
about interfering with this pet bev-
erage of the farmer.

Modify Mexican Policy

While there is no promise of &C.

are many indications that there is
to be an end of more "watchful
waiting" The Mexican situation is
forcing itself upon the Administra

from the recent murders of Ameri-

there are considerations of interna-
tional importance which are inn
peliing our Government to take
definite and firm action, and among
these isthe fact that the unfortunate
situation casts a shadow upon our
entire foreign policy. Thus, when
the President appeals to our finan-
cial interests to help Europe they

not take the risk unless the Govern
ment is prepared to back them up
much more firmly than it has 10

Heretofore our policy, or rather
lack of policy, in dealing with Mex
leo has been more or less excusable
ou account of the European War;
but no such excuse is now availa-
BILE, and this fact, together with the
urgent demands for definite action
seems likely result in our dealing
hereafter with Mexico in a direct
and firm manner, as we'll as with
fairness to all concerned.
