provement in the methods of taxation will be accomplished, even if no re- ducton in amount is effected. Tarlff legislation is possible, but it will be difficult to devise any advance in rates that will add to necessary rev enueS, when imports are already ab- normally light and not likely to show much increase this year. The fewer the changes in the tariff the better, until more settled conditions are reached.
 Feeding Europe.
 Foreign trade returns in detail show some very striking changes. During the last ten months exports of breadstuffs reached $739, 100000, an increase of $221, 100000; and meats totalIed $500, 100000, a gain of $41O,- O00,0oO. Here is a total increase of $631, 100000 in food products, to which might be added another item, s70,O00,O00 gain in cotton oil ship ments. While a portion of the in crease is due to higher prices, it is very evident that our efforts to feed starving Europe have caused an ex- pansion of fully $7OO,OOO,OOO in our food experts for the ten months ending April.
 Firm Time Money.
 The monetary outlook is fairly sat isfactory. Our Governmnt is issuing Treasury notes quite freely, and the banks are taking them without diff culty, having, somewhat lessened their holdings of Government bonds. In the early part of June the seco Nd instalment on the Liberty Loan -vlQ become due. Foreign government are likely to seek credits in larger sums; and the necessity of financing our export trade on definite lines is also becoming more pressing, in proof of which is the growing senti- ment favoring the creation of a huge banking organization for this pur- pose. Local applications for capital are also becoming more numerous, and within a few weeks the demands for crop moving will assert them selves; not to speak of the expected greater activity in business, and the effect of high values which absorb banking funds. The chances, there fore, favor firm time money for sev- eral months to come.
 Reactions in the stock market were slight and a strong undertone stil. prevails, the upward movement ap parently not having by any means exhausted itself. Steel issues main tained their leadership owing to i'm proved prospects of the industry it. self. Attention is being gradually turned to securities thus far neglected and which are more attractive than those already selling at high figures.

FIFTY AMERICANS
KILLED IN MEXICO
SINCE IN, But
NO kENSTS MADE
Ambas or Fletcher Sub
nit Report Showing ESQ
Attacks Have Occurred
Since Fall of the
Diaz Regime
BY Associated Press

Washington, Juiy 22.-Al-
though about so Americans
have been killed or outraged IN
Mexico since 1917, not a single
arrest or conviction is known to
have resulted, Henry P.
Fletcher. United States ambas-
sador to Mexico, told the House
rules committee in a hearing on
the Gould resolution, proposing
appointment of congressional
committee to investigate rela-
tons between the two coun-
tries.
The American ambassador laid before
the committe a report compiled by the
State Department in response to a sem
ate resolution showing that since the
tacks of a serious nature have been
made on American citizens in Mexico.
Relations between the two countries,
however, Mr.. Fletcher said, have i'm
proved during the last three years de
added that there was wonderful sub
mission to the Carranza rule in all the
sections which the government controls.
Although declining to express an
opinion as to the policy, either past
of future of this country towards Mex
ico the ambassador in effect opposed
suggestions advanced by members of the
committee looking to withdrawal by
the United States of recognition of the
.Carranza government, Such step. he
said, would only increase the existing
unfriendly feeling of Mexicans towards
Americans and would not, unless ac-
companied by other action in the way
of assistance, bring about the estab-
lishment of more stable government
in Mexico, but would add to the diff
ficuities Of that country.
p AT present, Mr. Fletcher said. there
were no revolutionary leaders in Mex
leo with sufficient following to over
throw the existing government and set
up a stable one.
Would the permission of this govern
ment to all Mexicans to secure arms
and ammunition furnish these anti-Car--
rama leaders aid" asked Chairman
Campbell.
That would have the effect of in
creasing the turmoil in Mexico re-
piled the ambassador. Whether 1t would
ultimately result in a government more
stable than this one. more able to dis
charge it's International obligations, /
am not prepared to say
Ambassador Fletcher said he had
noticed no special anti-American spirit
or discrimination against nationals of
this country in favor of those of other
nations. Newspapers, however, dur
ing the war. he said. were very hostile
toward the United States
The Mexican government, he said. has
divided some land owned by Americans
among Mexican poems, but he added
that these cases have not been very
frequent"
In reply to questions regarding the
Mexican governments attitude toward
American oil men, the ambassador said
Carranza had not prohibited the drilling
of wells, but only denied permits for
wells unless certain perquisites were
agreed upon.
Another hearing will be held by the
committee tomorrow at which Mrs. John
Correll, of Oklahoma, whose husband
was recently murdered near Tampico.

dents of Mexico will apear
