The w eek at Home

Formal debate was opened in the
Senate on the Knox resolution to
serve notice on the peace confer
ence that the Senate will take it's
time to consider the league of ma
tions and desires the league
covenant to be divorced from the
treaty with Germany. Debate on
the resolution will be continued
daily, with the probability that
the Senate will consider the ap-
preparation measures in night ses-
sions. Senators who oppose the
league Of nations expect the Demo-
Gratis by parliamentary tactics to
prevent vote on the resolution
until after the treaty has been
signed.
Senator Knox in his speech denied
that the resolution was either for
or against the league of nations.
He said he asked "for time merely
to consider whether under the
covenant as drawn the power to
put us at war will be placed in
body outside our own government,
whether such lodging of this SOW

UNITED STATES made
n twenty-four hour inva-
sion of Mexico following
the killing of two American
frontier guards while the Villista
rebels were trying to take Juarez
from the Carranzistas. American
troops crossed the border and
drove the Villistas into the hills.
One American cavalryman was
shot through the lungs, while in
the neighborhood of 100 Mexicans
we're killed and seven were taken
prisoner.
General Candido Aguilar, President
Carranza's confidential ambassa-
dor to the United States, issued a
statement in Washington saying
that the Mexican people and gov
crnment considered the invasion
a violation of Mexican sovereignty
and expressing the hope that the
situation would be satisfactorily
adjusted between the two coun-
tries. General De Rosey C. Ca
bell, commander of the Southern
Department, stationed guards
along the border to prevent a
Villa raid. General Cabell said
the invasion was made because the
Villistas were firing into Ell Paso.
There was no idea of aiding the
Carranza soldiers in Juarez, he
added, and the incident was closed.
Representative N. ]. Gould, Rcpubli-
can, Now York, introduced in the
House a resolution providing for
an investigation by a Joint Con-
gressional committee of all rela-
tions between the United Ststss
and Mexico for ths last nine years.

Labor and the Ban

TIME march on the Capitol last
week Of thousands Of organ
lied labor delegates and
members, led by their execu-
tive officers, as a protest against the
enforcement Of absolute prohibition
on July and as a demonstration Of
labor's sentiment on the question of
light wine and beer sales represents
the largest anti-prohibition move
ment of the present year.
The massing Of representative or
ganized labor in Washington and
the crowding Of the Capitol steps for
. session Of plain speechmaking, led
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
big American Federation Of Labor,
was to give Congress to understand
that "the workers Of the nation re-
sent the effort to enforce in times Of
peace a law passed under the guise
of war"
More than 500 of the demonstra-
tors came from the Atlantic City
convention. Two hundred soldiers
who saw service in France came in
with the delegation from Johnstown,
Penn, and a hundred women, repre-
senting the women's auxiliary of the

bered among the large group from

Policing?

According to "The Washington
STAR
"the happening at Juarez may for the
present be reckoned as q bit of polio
ing. Should the Mexican government
take umbrage at the presence of our
troops south Of the border the Amer
lean answer is obvious. Mexico
should assuredly guarantee the United
States immunity from injury due to
insurrection, and failing ability to give
such guarantee must permit US to pro-
tect ourselves"
"The Baltimore Sun" saws:
"This latest Mexican incident is not
so important in itself as in the evil
dence it affords of the continuance of
Mexico's unsatisfactory status, unsatis
factory to US as we'll az to her. 1t NAV
be, it probably is true, that interested
propaganda from this side Of the line
is largely instrumental in fomentinr
these border disturbances. But they
could not be frequented in a country
which was wisely, fairly and firmly
governed and in which revolution was
not always in fashion,"
And "The New York Evening
Mail" declares:
"The upheaval in Mexico-which
after all is only fresh manifestation
Of continuous state of unrest--may
yet confront the American people with
the course which they are extremely
reluctant to adopt.
."Mexico must set her own house in
order, or the neighbor whom she is per-
sistently disturbing by her blood let
tings will find himself compelled to set
1t in order for her"

Monroe Doctrine in the league cove
nant and its bearing on the Mexi-
can situation. One reads:
eve will not allow any European
nation to intervene in Mexico and by
that attitude we make ourselves re-
sponsible to foreign nations for the
good behavior of Mexico. We should
compel it to keep quiet. Instead of
reducing our regular army from 5o0,-
900 to 100000 we should keep it up to
the higher figure until Mexico is at
peace with herself and all the world"
A similar line of thought is taken
by "The Chicago Tribune":
"The American government and pub
lie have been patient beyond measure
with Mexican conditions. But our pa
thence, we hope, is limited by a proper
sense of our duty, Of our dignity and
of our legitimate interest. We do not

ant as they have been under the insults

Our Neighb0Y TO the S01ttl17mrd Starts Another RnzbQ
And the American
essThinks Some
thing Ought To Be
Done

'THE recent clash between
American troops and Mexi-
can rebels, when a detach-
ment Of United States cav
airy pursued Villista soldiers into
Mexican territory after shots had
been fired at American citizens on
the border, has excited lively COM
ment in the American press. The
trend Of this comment is to empha-
size the necessity not only Of pro-
tecting American lives and prop
erty but also of taking preventive
measures.
In view of the statement issued
by General Aguilar in behalf of the
Carranza government, that "the
government and people of Mexico
consider as violation of Mexican
sovereignty the crossing of United
States soldiers into Mexican terri
tory" the American press generally
declares that such violation of SOW
ereignty was, under the circum-
stances, out of the question. Thus
''The Indianapolis News" declares
that
with shots from the contending Mexi-
can forces about Juarez wounding per-
sons in Ell Paso, there was nothing for
the American troops to do but cross
the Rio Grande and stop tho riot. AS
General Erwin explains, this is not an
invasion Of Mexico, but merely neces-
sary police work to protect American
citizens and American territory. We
are at peace with Mexico and hope to
remain so, but we cannot countenance
at our doors Mexican hostilities that
endanger our people,"
"The Boston Transcript" believes
that nothing can be said" against
the action taken by the American
military command, Except that it
comes too late to save hundreds of
American lives and millions of
American property" and calls Sec
retary Bakers solicitude for the
consent Of the Mexican government
unnecessary. We are told that "the
simple fact is that there is no law
and no safety there except as our
soldiers introduce it, "The Phila-
delphia Public LEDGER" on the other
hand, fears, it would seem, that the
matter is not quite as simple as
that. It reminds of "the existence
of influences at home who have been
working undisguisedly to bring
about an intervention in Mexican
affairs" and of the "existine
strained relations with the Carranza
government" But the most serious
danger, according to "The Ledger,
"is the absence of any evidence that
our government has evolved or il
New-York tribune., 1919-06-22

acting on the basis of a definite pol
icy for dealing with the Mexican
problem"
4 Needed Lesson
"The New York Times" calls the
crossing Of the border by the Ameri-
can military "needed lesson," and
continues:
"The time had come to break up the
practice of making Juarez a battle
ground with the design of involving
the United States with the Carranza
government and forcing armed inter
vention. Once too often the Villistas
tried 1t, and now they understand that
American troops coming across the
border on police duty will pursue them
to kill or capture, as a policeman
shoots at or seizes a criminal trying
to make his escape"
