GREAT INTEREST IN MExICO'S CASE Intimated That Diplomatic Investigations May
 Be Made.

Washington, April 29.---UnuSua1 in terest was manifested today in of1i- ctal circles as to the identity of the governments which are friendly to Mexico that have required the Mex ican foreign office to express an opin- ion on the recognition of the Monroe Doctrine, as announced in official dis patches from Mexico City. The pub- lication of the signatories to the League of Nations covenant and the names of the countries invited to join the League caused officials to wonder which countries had made inquiries of the CarranZa government fon this matter. It was intimated in official circles that diplomatic Investigations might be made.
 Officials pointed out that Argentina, Chile, Salvador, Colombia, Paraguay and Venezeula with the only Latin Amerfcan countries that did not break with Germany during the war and 1t was that the governments friendly to Mexico" mentioned by the Mexican foreign office might be among these.
 It is possible, according to a high official, that Costa Rica, as yet unrec- ognized by the United States and not invited to join the League of Nations, made the inquiry. The same au- thority stated Salvador, as close ally of Mexico, would not have made the inquiry because her policy would be largely dependent upon Mexicos. Paraguay was eliminated because of her isolated territory and lack of in- terest in the subject. Colombia and Venezuela have, on a number of oc- casions, approved the application of the Monroe Doctrine, so it is consid- cred unlikely they sought the in formation.
 Thus the conclusion is that, if such an inquiry were actually made, 1t probably came from Argentina and Chile. Both of the countries have been invited to join the League of Nations and both have officially ex- pressed their approval of the or sanitation. The inclusion of the Monroe Doctrine specifically in the covenant in the league has not brought forth protest from either country.

SENATOR BORAH
 BLAMESCONCRESS
Says Burleson Is Only Ex- ercising Power Given
 Him.

Washington, April 29-B1ame for much of the severe criticism of Post master General Burleson was placed upon congress today by Senator Bor- ah of Idaho, Republican, who, in a statement said the Postmaster Gen eral is only exercising the laws which congress passed conferring drastic and unlimited powers under the guise of war powers. The best remedy, the senator said, would be for congress to repeal these laws.
 Congress has granted MT. Burle- son. Senator Borah said, "unlimit- ed, undefned, drastic and arbitrary powers; granted them in violation oi the most fundamental and cherished principles of free government. We granted these powers under the guise of war necessity, but no necessity ex- isted for any such grant of powers War upon the part of a republic nev- CT necessitates the sacrifice of the fundamental principles upon which the republic Is organized
 He is not exercising any authority not within the provisions of the law which congress passed. If he is ex- ercising it arbitrarily, how did con gross expect arbitary laws to be ex- ecuted except in an arbitary way? How did congress expect the laws to be executed except in a despotic way? They are cruel, arbitrary and at war with every principle of free govern ment and should be repealed.
 For MT. Burleson to be dismissed and to leave these laws upon the statue books would indeed be a tra- vesty. If we do not want arbitrary power exercised in this country, the law-maktng body is the body to ap- peal to andt not to some administra- tive officer''
