Mexico City, Tuesday Dec 23.--
Resolutions Of protest against project.
ed philanlhroplc Intervention in Mexl-
can affairs, 10y the recent reformed
childhood conservation league or the
United States, We're passed at q meet
ing Of the ,reXlcan Feminist Council
today. Tho league. which. it is said,
, proposed, With the financial backing
Of u group Of the largest and best
known magnatcs OF the United States
to spend from 81 100000 to $4,000 OJO
annually ON charitable propaganda in
| Mexico, is said TO be a Far sighted
scheme 10 bring about ultimate inter
vention in Mexican aaairs"
| Signur A. Elena Torres, general sec.
rotary OF the feminist council, today
gave the following statement to the
/ Associated Press:
Mexican women hold Mexico itself
to be best able TO judge it's own needs
and to find a way TO satisfy them in
| due time. outside aid, however wen
! meant, is entirely uulnyted.
! Those desiring TO spend money to
relieve temporary structures in Mex.
! leo, incident TO the ten-year revolu.
| tIon, may find means through Mexican
! Institutions already organized for thut
purpose. Above all, before seeking
external objects Of charity, those be
ncvolonty inclined United States citl-
zcns. desirous of relieving suffering
had best take care Of those 100000
to 5000 OOO children which, the 1919
report Of the Children's bureau at
! Washington. declares are dying an
.uauy in the United states from
hunger and malnutriton.
THE Mexican feminist council also
holds that aside from the gratuitous
nature Of the proposed philanthropic
Intervention, there Is underlying
more sinister move than the projected
foundation of hospitals, churches, aSy-
hms and schools in every Mexican
state as is revealed by the fact that
those persons finally supporting the
movement are the same individuals
who have agitated most insstently
for intervention and curtaIlment Of
Mexican liberties. Financiers head
ing the list Of patrons Of the so-called
childhood conservation league are
those bankers, oil barons, philanthropy.
lists and notable men who figure most
prominently in societies and assoca.
tlons for the protection of American
rights in Mexico.
! Agnes c. G.aut, secretary Of the new
charitable organization, but better
known as u confidential secretary 10
financial maguates than an organizer
fc benevolent institutions, was at work
purely in the interests Of her employ
ers while making a recent trip through
Mexico.
1T is frankly stated the leagues OBJ
jeCts are the establishment within
ten or fifteen years, of strongho!ds or
sympathy for the United States in the
minds Of the beneficiaries Of this en-
tcrprise, who would be impregnated
with new culture and new patriotism
> which would train them to acceptance
rather than revolt against possible
armed Intervention in Mexico.
Examples Of such propaganda IN
China and Turkey, where financiers
a., philanthropists and missionaries com
bine to subvert the minds and under
standing of innocent children, are too
well known.
"The effect upon the minds Of the
unsuspccting masses Of such an an
, nual expenditure of money in Mexico
by the United States, would forward
the sinister purposes Of the interIen'
tiouists who thus could convince those
people that Mexico was unable 10
solve her own problems and care for
her own citizens without outside assist.
