ONE CHANCE FOR cARRANzA.
Must Paoify Mexico or Lose Support
Of America.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. i6--If the
Mexican government fails to meet the
demand OF the United States for pro-
lection to American lives, the first
move by the United States will be to
withdraw it's moral and material sup
port from the Carranza government.
This was Indicated in Official quart
.ers whera Mexican Intervention b, Tie
United States was said to be n re
mote possibility" Il was admitted
however. that 10 withdraw moral and
material support OF the United States
from Carranza would ultimately mean
the collapse or the only recognized
government in Mexico and that such n
consequence might force American in
terycntion.
Officials made Il plain, however, that
the United States IL forced to with
draw support from Carranza, would
not give aid and comfort to any fac
tion in Mexico.
There was ihtimations In official

cultural committees were told today by
J. ". Howard, Of Marshall county, Iowa,
president OF the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation.
Mr.. Howard appeared as spokesman !
for the committee recently appointed
at the confluence of f1rncrs from
Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana and IL

Denying that the farmers were re-
sponsible- for present conditions. Mr.
Howard said:
"The high cost OF living Is not due TO
lack Of desire or effort on the part OF
the farmers to produce to the limit OF
their physical ability. The farmer has

slackencd In production. He has in
creased his effort, extended his opera
tions to the limit Of physical ability
and financial credit. and striven to
feed the world. believing the world
would fairly and grady recompense
him. Instead he finds those who. in
their eagerness to find an answer
where there Is none and to shun the
real facts of the situation, points to
him with scorn and malevolance. say
ing, Thou are the culprit.'
THE high cost of living Is due to
stagnation in production in manufac-
tured goods and prepared foodstuffs.
Every labor strike that shuts down
any plant engaged in the preparing or
food or the making of clothing, that
shuts down mine or a mill, adds 70
the high cost of living.
"If capitalistic monopoly wants
enough food produced that it may be
feasted, if organized labor wants
enough food to be produced that they
may be fed, let them stand forth now
at this time, when the farmer must
determine his 1920 food production
program, and declare by deeds cutting
out profteering in goods and wages,

pairing and purveying in the necessities

Failure of these forces to do this now
will be boomerang that ere the next
cycle of the seasons will effect con-
dition in living now undreamed Of
Mr. Howard said the high cost OF
living was due to "extravagant profits
Of middlemen;" failure of the Ameri-
can people to practice even ordinary

and industrial strikes. Expectation OF
food and clothing, he said. was no more
a contributing cause than the heavy
exports OF manufactured goods and
machinery, OF which the farmer is
heavy purchaser.
"An embargo on foodstuffs to bring
down the high cost Of living" he said,
win be as demoralizing to American
agriculture as the embargo placed on
foodstuffs was to French agriculture
in the time of Louis XIV
Mr.. Howard also deplored the veto
of the act to repeal the daylight saw

NO MORE GUNS FOR MEXICO.
Deliveries on Old Orders Halted BY
American Government


Washington, Aug. l6.-The Carranza
government will not be permitted to
import more arms and munitions from
the United States for the present at
least
This became known today following
the publication Of the exchange OK
notes between the United States and
Mexico in which the American govern
ment threatened a change of policy
unless Americans in Mexico were ade-
quately protected.
Shipments of munitions into Mexico
have been prohibited since the United
States entered the war, but before that
time Carranza had purchased large
supplies in this country. and 1t had
been the policy to let these go third in
comparatively small lots
There was no indication that the
government contemplated any further
immediate action.
Telegrams received today said edi-
torials in the Mexico City newspapers,
after, publication Of the American note
of warning, indicated a complete reall-
zation Of the situation. Almost all OF
the papers commented on the note, but
for the most part, the editorials were
temperate In character.
+. FL Democratic, which attracted at
tention during the war for its pro-
German expressions, characterized the
note as "intemperate. unjust. ex.-
tremely alarming and practically an
ultimatum" and said the Mexican gov
ernment had shown disposition to
settle the petroleum question.
Ell Excelsior expressed, surprise be-
cause of the bitter tone of the note.
1t said this almost closed the door Of
hope and meant Intervention unless
Mexico aid the impossible and COM
pletey pacified the country.
