most eXigent principles of interna
tional law, treaties now in force and
universally established practices. On
the other hand, the rights of Mexico
as neutral were not always re-
spected as they were entitled to be,
because various units of the Amer
lean Navy remained in certain eX-
ceptional cases more than twenty
four hours in our waters, while there
were kept at anchor at Tampico
vessels of war under the pretext
of protecting their fellow nationals"
Will Not Recognize Doctrine
Regarding the Monroe Doctrine,
the message said Mexico did not
recognize and will not recognize 1T,
"inasmuch as it established with
of America, a criterion and situa-
ton in which they were not con-
suited and because that doctrine
smacked of sovereignty over Mexico
and constituted forcible guardian
ship over all the nations on the
American hemisphere"
Mexico continues in good rela-
tions with all friendly nations of
the. world with the exception of
Great Britain" the message declar-
ed. "The names of those with whom
relations are suspended are given
for reasons which were stated in the
last report to Congress"
President Carranza then summar-
lied two notes sent by the American
government December is, 1918, one
of which answered the Mexican note
claiming the right to legislate on
petroleum. Mention was also made
of the American protest against the
~ nnt'c nirnnl1r
garding the collection of royalties
from oil companies, and gave the
Mexican reply. After protesting
against the demands for interven-
ton for the purpose of making our
laws accord with personal inter-
ests," President Carranza declared
the oil campaign was disguised un-
der the plea for Intervention, be
cause of lack of guarantees they
pretend exists in our territory"
Reforms Would Hurt Americans
Citing the case of the Richardson
Construction Company's protest
against the increase in land taxes,
the message said: Unfortunately
the Mexican government has receiv-
ed suggestions from the United
States government when it has tried
to make reforms that may injure
American clIlZenS. lneSe SuSBeS-
tions destroy deliberately our lib
erty for legislation and nullify the
right we have to progress in accord
ance with our own ideas. The argu-
ment used by the American State
Department. as well as by the Amer
lean press. has been that our duties
are confiscatory. The Mexican gov
ernment hopes the Northern repub-
lie will respect the sovereignty and
independence of Mexico. To Vio-
late them, claiming the lack of
guarantees for its citizens or in
convenient legislation for its inter-
ests, would constitute a transgres-
sion of international right and
would demonstrate that the worst
misfortune for a nation is to be
weak and unable to protect itself
by force against stronger nations"

Girls! Make bleaching lotion
if skin is sunburned,

Squeeze the juice of two lemons
into a bottle containing three ounces
of Orchard White, shake well, and
you have a quarter pint of the best
freckle, sunburn and tan lotion, and
complexion beautifier at very, very
small cost.
Your grocer has the lemons and
any drug store or toilet counter Will
supply three ounces of Orchard
White for a few cents. Massage this
sweetly fragrant lotion into the
face, neck, arms and hands each
day and see how freckles, sunburn,
windburn and tan disappear and
how clear, soft and white the skin
becomes. Yes! 1t is harmless.

to have a glut and prices may fall
below the cost of production to the
American farmers.
"The present high prices of food
are not due to over-eXports to Eu-
rome from the United States during
the past year. That can be demon
strated by the fact that we enter a
new harvest with larger stocks of
previous years production than at
this time last year. In fact the
stocks of many communities are the
largest we ever had in storage at
this season. Yet prices are very
much higher. If we are to account
for the high price level on the basis
of over-exports, we should have to
find a depletion of our national
stocks"
Wave Is Worldwide
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
problems involved in the specula-
tive wave were very difficult to deal
with because it was worldwide and
not confined to the United States.
