The recent declaration by Mexico de-

has attracted much attention. and
there has been speculation as to
whether there had been consultation
among the various Latin American
governments on the announcement.
Today the Chilean consul general in
New York issued this statement:
THE government OF Mexico explain

Monroe dictrine stated that the Same
was made after having been concult-

reference to Chile, the embassy will
declare that its government has not

It has been expected that various
South American governments would
issue disclaimers Of entertaining the
same views as Mexico.

D. c. BILL MONDAY
f. OR TUESDAY LIKELY
Measure Expected in House
Without Rider AboIishing
$3.50 System.
OPPOSITION TO HEARINGS

The District appropriation bill prob
ably will be reported to the House Mon
day or Tuesday in practically the same
form as it passed the House at the last
session. but without the rider abolishing
the half-and-half principle for financing
the District.
House Leader Mondeu and Chairman
Coed of the appropriations committee
are ahxious that this naeas!re shbnll be
presented at once to the House, and if
it had been possible it would have been
brought In today.
Chairman Davis Of the subcommit-
tee on District appropriate is be-
tween two fires. The republican lead
ers are pressing him for speed In dis.
posing Of the District bill. Several
organizations in the District are urg-
ing him to open up the bill and grant
them hearings. These include school
teachers, community center workers,
physicians and dentists and various
branches of government employees.
Hearings Would Delay Measure.
Chairman Davis will doubtless con-
cur with the wishes of Messrs. Mon
dell and Good. because it is realized
that il hearings are begun it will be
impossible to close them for a month
or more. This would again throw the
District appropriation bill into a leg
islative jam. If it is brought out
Immediately. It will have right of way
in the House and funds will promptly
be made available.
While the present District subcom-
mittee is disposed to be friendly to
the District. it cannot hope to draft
an entirely new bill before July 1.
Those who are urging prompt action
upon Chairman Davis point out to him
that this is measure which should
have been put through in the last
session Of Congress and which prop
erly should never have come before
his committee. The assurance is
given that the next District appro-
priatfon bill handled by the present
committee will be much more liberal,
and that plenty Of time will be given
to- all interests for a proper presenta-
ton of their needs
Increases Expected in Senate.
1t is admitted by Representative
Sisson, the ranking democrat on the
District subcommittee, and who was
chairman OF 1t in the last Congress.
that the Senate is expected to add
considerably to various items as they
will be presented to the House. When
this revised bill comes back into con-
ference there is every indication that
many of the Senate's increases will
be accepted by the House conferees.
Chairman Davis Of the subcommittee
with his associates and accompanied
by District officials. is this afternoon
continuing his inspection of streets
throughout the District that require
improvements, and is also inspecting
some OF the school buildings on which
extensive repairs are needed.
At meeting of the subcommittee

ton will be taken on whatever slight
changes are to be made in the appro-
priation. and it Will be prepared for

Filibuster Killed Bill.

Why were there 10 funds on May l
to send money to the families who
were expecting them and who no
doubt had made purchases for food
and other necessities counting upon
the prompt receipt Of the govern
ment's pay check. Because The de-
flciency bill which would have ap-
propriated s33.0oo.0oo for the .pur-
pose was killed in the Senate by a
fiiIbuster which had as it's avowed
purpose an effort to force an extra
session Of Congress at an early date
and. because no extra session was
called by the President until MAJ
10.
The republicans wanted an extra
session because they sought to dis
cuss the peace treaty and SIGNIFY
their wish for amendments They De-
lieved that unless they held some
threat over the head of the President
he would not call an extra session
until he returned from Paris. which
might be June or July. So enough
senator's talked on extraneous SUD-
Gects until the hands of the clock
pointed to noon of March 4. when
Congress legally expired.
To the criticism that the republicans
thus deliberately deprived needy FAM
lilies of the money they had been
counting on for the month of May,
the republicans answered that MT:
he could call an extra session at
once and the republican Congress
would promptly enact the needed leg
islation appropriating funds. Col.
Lindsey recently left the war risk
bureau, Of which he had been the
head. Secretary Glass and Col.
Lindsey had some sharp words, ex,
changed some acrimonious letters and
a new director of the war risk bu
reau was named.
Big Question Pointed Out.
The big question is: Did the director
of the bureau know on March or
how much money was left wherewith
to nav the families of the soldiers
and sailors, and did he bring it to the
attention of the Secretary of the
Treasury? That concerns the execu-
tive branch of the government. But,
ON the other hand. was Congress right
In shelving piece of legislation
which admittedly sought to pay the
deficit which was expected to occur
some time between March 4 and June
80? The republicans won their fight
for an extra session; Mr.. Wilson was
forced to capitulate. He called an ex-
ira session as soon as he learned the
true state of affairs. Republicans will
claim he should have known the facts
sooner, but the democrats will always
a right and that whoever in the re-
publican party killed the deficiency
bills Is now responsible for the indi-
vidual embarrassments to approx
mately 100000 people who haven't
their pay checks people who also
haven't their sons or brothers at
home to help them pay the butcher
and the baker and the grocer aud the
landlord.
Both parties use the filibuster. Clo-
ture rules have been adopted to pre-
vent such tactics, but never seem to
be enforced. II it is to the advantage
of either party the fllibuster is used.
And the people back home usually
pay the price.
