PRESIDENT CARRANZA SAYS MONROE PACT
 IS AN ASSUMPTION

BOSTON, May 24.-In an inter- view with the Boston Globe rep resentative in Mexico. President Car ranza o: Mexico says: "The re- cent declaration of the Mexican For eign office to the effect that Mex ico never has recognized or never will recognize the doctrine (the Monroe Doctrine) exactly defined our position. It may be taken as the fixed and unalterable policy of this government. principally for the reason that the Monroe Doctrine is an arbitrary measure which seeks to impose and does impose upon Independent nations a protec- torate which they do not ask for and do not need. It is not recipro- cal in its benefits. It is a one~sided affair. It is applied arbitrarily to the Spanish-American Republics. It might with equal excuse or lack of it be applied indiscriminately all ove rthe world"

SECRET ARY LANE
 ASKS CONGRESS
 | FOR MORE MONEY
Wants an Appropriation At Once To Carry Work on Alaska Railroad Along
 To End of Year

SEATTLE, May 24.-The Post-ln- telligencer in a special from Wash ington printed today says Secretary Lane has asked Congress to appro- priate at once s1,864,351 for Alaska railroad work, to last until June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
 The Secretary in his request to Congress said the failure of the last Congress to pass the appropriation bill had seriously curtailed the work on the government line in Alaska He said many laborers and contrac- tors had been placed on half pay, the balance to be liquidated when funds would become available.
 The Secretary wants the money to carry the work on through June which is a good month in the North for construction work.
 Continuing, he said: "We shall face a deficit next June 30th., of $S7S,868. 900 and to ask for on ap- proportion for merely this amount would delay construction and in crease costs for future operation"
