introduced a novel resolution, providing
that an American commission meet
with representatives of all the factions
IN Mexico opposed to Carranza and as
sist TO establish firm government in
the troubled country. The upshot of
downfall Of Carranza
Mr. La Guardia in introducing his
suggestion asserted that all the Mexi-
can elements he mentions opposed to
Carranza have already agreed to such
a conference.
Representative Gould, of New York
also has introduced a resolution pro-
viding for thorough Congressional
probe of Mexico, as has Representative
Porter, Of Pennsylvania. Hearings on
the Gould resolution have been held
before the House Rules Committee
These hearings resulted in the fol-
lowing charges:
THAT the Carranza government
has no respect for American lives or
property.
That Germany during the war
Influenced the Carranza government
against the United States.
3-That more than 200 American
have been killed in Mexico since the
time OF Diaz, and over fifty since Am
bassador Fletcher was sent there, with
out single Mexican bandit ever being
punished for his crime.
These are only few of the charges
1t is the chief demand of those test-
tying against Carranza that he has be-
trayed the government that made it
possible for him to obtain command in
Mexico. and that the United States
should now withdraw its recognition
of him, permit free export of arms
INTO Mexico, and help purge that un-
happy country of an unscrupulous

termlned if American soldiers were
being used in Russia as "a collection

the Kerensky government was being
used IN this country to keep up the
interest on bonds sold by the Cars
government, and a few other things
about the Russian tangle that many
people have asked, but to which few
have known the answer
The investigation developed one in
terestng fact and several interesting
but so far improved charges. The out
standing fact is that the United States
loaned the Kerensky government some
SlS7 900, 900, on which it has never re-
ceived any interest and which there is
no present prospect Of collecting.
The other charges, made by Henry
W. Elliott, who claims to have studied
Russian affairs for thirty years, and
particularly since the revolution, are
briefly:
THAT the new Russia VIII never
pay its international obligations, hav-
ing announced that policy at the time
of the revolution.
That American investments in
Russia probably total billion dollars.
3-That bonds of the Car to the
extent OF around s4oooOo,O0O are held
in this country by private investors
instead of only $4,000, 900 recently
mentioned.
4-That the relations of this govern
ment to Mr.. Boris Bakhmetef need

All of which are interesting charges,
but so far no one with authoritative
knowledge has been able to penetrate

"HE jalllng in Memphis last
Monday of Editor Edward T.
Il Leech Of The Memphis
Press" for contempt of court
IN connection with the publication of
an editorial during a political cam
paign last year brings up the ques-
ton as to whether general politi-
cal editorial" which mentions no
names or cases, such as the one
written by Leech, IS To be CO sid
cred henceforth as unlicensed mat
ter.
Mr.. Leech calls at -ntion to the
facts in his case in this statement
issued prior to his inca rcoraJion for
ten days:
q will enter the county jail to-mor-
row for a ten-day sentence because the
Supreme Court Of Tennessee has ruled
that a general political editorial, CON
tanning no references to any Judge or
any case, can be construed in contempt
Of judge who was himself a candi-
date in a pending election. This. be
lieve, IS the big point at issue IN my
case.
"Ten days before an election l wrote
an editorial Of very general nature.
which referred to judicial corruption
as only one of the numerous evils
caused by the machine politics which
for years had prevailed in Memphis.
In the trial of the cause I pleaded
that the truth OF this reference TO the
courts had been proved by the action
of the state Legislature in ;mpeaching
and removing from Office Judge Jesse
Edgerton of the Criminal Court OF
this county on charges OF corruption
in Office. There had been no general
election in Memphis since that scandal,
so IT was pertinent issue.

reference to any pending case | said
that l intentionally wrote a genera.
editorial so that 'whomsoever the shoe
fit might put ii on 1t was charged
however. that my editorial referred 10
Chancellor Israel Peres, and l con-
tended that, even had this been the
case, my article would have been priv
legged because Judge Peres was not a
candidate at the coming election anc
his actions were open to discussion anc
criticism
Chancellor Peres had just decided
an important political lawsuit HI:
decision ne had carefully prepared ane
read in court. There was no attemp-
made to show that my editorial hac
interfered with the case, but il wa,
charged that it was technically pending
until the period for asking a rehearing
had expired. Under this ruling it IS
