Violation Of L. S.
Neutrality Law in
Diaz Revolt Denied
Statement Issued in Answer
to Attack From Carranza
Consulate General, Which
Cited Espionage Aet

Unqualified denial was made yester-
day by representatives of General
Feliz Diaz that American neutrality
laws had been violated in connection
with the Diaz revolt in Mexico.
The denial was made in answer to
statement issued from the Consulate
General of the Car1anza government.
This statement, credited to IAN Off
cial of the Mexican government as
serted that General Aurelio Banquet
and his associates had violated pro-
visions of the espionage act. After at
tacking the records and pretentions
OF the Diaz leaders, the statement
added: The activities Of Mr.. Blan-
quet and his associates, [ believe,
constitute an offence which the laws Of
the United States penAlize and should
be taken into account by the proper
authorities, because they mean hos
tilty toward a nation automatically
and otherwise on friendly terms with
the United States"
Pedro del Villar, leader of the Diaz
committee here, said yesterday;
"On my part, please make only fiat
denial of any violation of the laws of
this country, which we are proud to
respect and which we have been IN
structed by General Diaz to respect.
This is not the place wnere we MeXl-
cans should discuss the real impor-
tance or personalities of our leaders
or revolution. The results VIII speak
for themselves"
Dr. Roberto Gayon, secretary to Gen
eral Banquet, said yestarday concern
ing Japanese concessions In Lower
California that Governor Esteban
Cantu of that territory paid only nom
inal allegiance to Carranza and that
any action in the matter of officials in
Mexico City would be of no value un~
less confirmed by Cantu. Cantu, he
said, was former officer of the Fed
eral army who had been sent to Lower
California by General Banquet and
had succeeded in making himself Gov
ernor during the unsettled conditions
of recent years.
That anything but complete accord
existed between Governor Cantu and
Presiden. Carranza was denied by Con-
sui General Salinas.
DR.. Gayon declared that no American
corporations were furnishing financial
backing to the Diaz movement. I'VE
had offers to finance the revolt from
German commercial companies" he
said, but declined them"

"Who can say" was the reply. "The

Of transition. 1t is a difficult time

But | feel that the period of readjust-

people know the terms of peace and

our capital will again utilize it's Won
derful resources and it's genius and
talents as it has done in the past. That
will result in the employment Of the
hands and minds of labor again, and
with industry humming we shall soon
see an end Of our troubles"
He uttered the sentiment with deep
conviction, seeming to visualize the re-
stored conditions Of prosperity which
he predicted. Then an expression Of
concern crossed his face.

With a view to getting public senti-

all the responsibility is put on the men
who not willing TO work for the wages
and under the conditions prescribed by
the Southern Utilities Company. will
not permit others who might be will
ing to accept those wages and condi-
tions to come in. This letter makes
the position of the street car men ap-
pear very unjust The probability Is
however, that large part of the pub
lie will undertake to look at both sides
of the question. For one thing it will
reason that II street car managers
generally have combines that take ip
the whole country, street car employees
also must do the same. 1t will reason
also that the strikebreakers, who came
in to take the places Of the union men
are not so much people who are hunt,
ing work as they are employees Of the
associated street railway operations
organized for the purpose of thwart-
ing the efforts of union men to get
fair deal. 1t is well understood Of
all intelligent people that nothing is
ever satisfactorily settled by unlaw-
full violence, and while 1t may be
made to appear that these street car
workers and their friends are respon-
sible for the violence in Charlotte, it
can very well have been that the
responsibility for that violence really
lies with the other thing. Most men
understand the laws of self defense.

very properly have taken the position
that it would leave the case at q stand

Foundation of the Trouble.

We are unable to quite follow the
president in his declaration to the ef-
feet that the only thing necessary to
restore pre-war conditions is imme-
diate ratification of the peace treaty.
Of course we would like to see the
treaty ratified and out of the way,
not that we consider it just or calcu-
lated to any lasting peace or anything
of that kind, but rather because it
would give our law makers opportu-
nifty to devote their full attention to
the various domestic problems with
which we are confronted.
Technically the country Is still in a
state of war; but actually it is not.
The war ended-with the signing Of tine
armistice, and actually the country is
now at peace, as much as It has ever
been or it will ever be.
The country recognizes these facts
fully, and since nobody is concerned
about the technical state or war, it is
difficult to see how or why the mere
formality of ratifying the peace treaty
is going to satisfy labor or expand
business.
Surely the president would not have
us infer that unemployment is the re-
suit of technical rather than actual
conditions, because if this is what he
would have, it seems impossible to
square such a theory with sound eco
nomics.I
The most universally accepted sys-
tenn of economics teaches the enhance
ment Of the value of raw materials as
unfavorable from business expansion.
In tHying to save ourselves by saw
ing Europe, we. have drained this
country of surplus capital as we'll as
Of raw materials and gone into debt
up to our eyes. There is no use in
trying to escape this; because it is a
fact that cannot be escaped.
During the time the exigencies Of
war were making demands upon us
faster than we could supply these de-
mands as normal capacity OF pro-
duction, it was necessary for us to
borrow by means Of mortgages on the
future, and the future is now crowd
ing US for payment.
The only present way out is by
means Of a rcplenished treasury, and
the treasury can be replenished only
through the production of soil, factory
and mine, through the application OF
Industrious labor.
In times past, under similar condi-
tions labor could be made TO function
with whip; but the whip does not go
any more and the only effective means
of securing proper functioning is
through just and reasonable satisfac-
ton.
Labor is dissatisfied and demcraliz-
cd now not so much because of the
number of dollars it is getting for the
service it renders as because OF the
decreased purchasing power of those
dollars.
We would t<e to see the peace treaty
ratified at once; but we are rot cX-
pccting any general or immediate i'm

ditions as the result of that. ratiflca-

The New York World and other
newspapers having recently announced
their purpose of publishing a story of
the war by Gen. Ludendorf, quarter
master general of the German army.
Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, of
Oregon, took occasion to remark in
the senate last Saturday: 81 hope the
newspapers will, without any act of
congress, decline absolutely to print
this story of the German general so
largely responsible for the kind of
warfare conducted by Germany
Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts, said he also hoped that 1t
would not be done. AS to whether
the newspapers directly concerned,
will pay any attention to the wishes
of Senators Chamberlain and Lodge
remains to be seen; but it is quite
safe to say that even if these news
papers should refrain from publishing
IMdendorfs story, the story will no
doubt Re made available in book form
to those who desire to read it. But
after all, why should it hurt anybody
to read this story if they want to?
