h, s, IS WOLF OF
 TABLE, MEXICO IS SHEEP, SAYS CABRERA
rormor at Stream Head Ac- cuses Latter of Muddy
 ing Water

Mexico City, Monday, Dec. 15.-
 The United States Mexican inter
 national situation has a parallel ir
 tho tho fable of the wolf and the sheep
 ;n which the wolf at the head of
 .ho stream accuses the sheep be-
 ,ow him of muddying the water
 .,cording to a statement issued to-
 aioht by Luis Cabrera, secretary
 4 the treasury and government
 An emphatic denial is made by | senor Cabrera of charges con-
 ts;ned in newspaper dispatches re-
 ceived s in Mexico City that he is
 favoring the British at the ex-
 nense of American interests Rranding charges of anti-Ameri-
 canism made by "the information
 al press" as part of an interna tional political scheme, Senor Ca hrera declares them utterly false.
 The statement makes specific mention of charges of favoritism ] to the British with regard to the
 return of the railways to their owners, oil concessions and cot l ton shipments; the proposed visit l of Rafael Nieto, sub-secretary to i the ministry of finance, to London 1 the visit to Mexico of Major Howard and Brigadier General AL 1 fred c. Critchley of the Canadian air forces and their conferences with Norman King, the British general at Mexico City, together with an intimation which Senor |Cabrera declares to be false that an attempt is being made to se- |cure British support in the con- troversy with the United States over the killing and Kidnapping oi American citizens.
 The interventicnists press, ac- cording to Senor Cabrera, misin- terprets Mexico's resumption of relations with the European na- ,tions. He declares that during the war Mexico's international re- lations of necessity were concern ed mainly with the United States. but that after the conclusion of peace resumption of relations with other powers was natural procedure which should be re- yarded as an inspiration for con- fidence in the United States, in- stead of a subject for unfounded eonjectures that an anti-American motive inspired the move.
 Senor Cabrera likewise men, tions the Monroe Doctrine rela- tive to "interventionist press" charges in connection with Mexi- co.'s European relations, asserting that the interventionists tacitly as- sumed Latin America south of Mexico as a United States sphere of expansion. ,. ..s......,.
 General Critchley stated to the correspondent upon his arrival in Mexico City a week ago that he expected to stay about 10 days in the capital, later leaving for trip to Chihuahua. Major How ard is a former resident of Mexi- co. residing here about five years prior to the world war.

LACK OF PRESSURE
HOLDS COTTON FIRM
Trading Not Particularly Active,
Wall Street the Principal
Seller

New York. May 1.-The strength of
English cables and buying for the ac-
count of Liverpool houses promoted a
local opening advance in the cotton
market today of to 2S points. Trad
ing was not particularly active and
prices held strong in the absence of i'm
portant pressure. Wall Street firms
appeared to be the principal sellers.
The opening advance was followed bv
n reaction of some 20 to % points. but
the volume of liquidation was much
smaller than it was yesterday, and the
market turned steader.
The more encouraging character of
this mornings news from Paris prob
ably helped the tone of the market. bur
the main factors on the recovery were
the reports of an improved demand and
hrm southern spot markets.
Liverpool continued buyer here. and
there was scattering trade demand on
the advance, which carried active
months some 24 to 80 points above last
nights closing figures.
