MEXICO HAS need
OF ORGANIC PEACE
De La BARRA SAYS
Must Show World a Desire
AS Nation to Participate
In League.

Paris, Feb. 14.-Mexico needs a
peace, notsimposed by arms, but an or
ganic peace, declared Francisco de La
Barra, former provisional president of
Mexico, in a statement to the Asso-
,ciated Press today. He added that
Mexico has direct interest in the
League of Nations, because she is in
full sympathy with the principle of a
interest, in participation practically
with its organizers in the great work
Of strengthening right and justice.
II know" he added, "that this reme-
dy will not cure all the evils and the
unfortunately the time has not yet
come to substitute the pillow share
for the sword but it is useful to en-
courage the general effort toward or
derby life in each country as well as
order in international life.
Means Another Guarantee.
"For countries in the same condition
as Mexico league of nations will re.
present another guarantee in addi-
ton to the ordinary guarantee contem-
plated by international law
mexico, the same as other neutrals
has not been asked thus far to parti-
cipate in league of nations, but opin-
ion in Mexico is favorable to.the idea
and will shoy itself from now on
not only in the spirit animating the
government but also through all or.
gans of it's national life.
| we Mexicans must show the entire
world that we deserve as a natior
to participate in the formal concert o.
these powers as President Wilson ha!
called it. In this solemn moment O.
history every Mexican must earnest
ly consider the special obligation!
imposed upon us by the present situa
ton.
Mexico needs peace, not a peac
imposed by arms, but an organic peace
if l may SO call it, which must be tn
result of free expression under lie
gal, firm and democratic regime il
which the liberty of the press, libert.
of meeting, and liberty Of conscienc
and of franchise will contribute to tn
adequate solution of the problems O
labor, of land and of the nation.
"All- this must have as basis
feeling or frank cordiality and friend
ship with the United States and the al
lies, and not only an appearance. 1
this way will the necessary guarantee
be given to our own countrymen an

"STRICkEN DUMB"
BY LEAGUE news
However They Are Expect
ed to Use Remaining Ses-
sion for Argument

Washington, Feb. 14.-Leaders in
congress read the plan for league of
nations in press dispatches from Par
is today without formal comment and
most of them were most guarded in
their observations between the cloak
room and office decisions. Their si-
lence was prompted by desire for
careful study of the leagues proposed
constitution, not by disinterest, and
there were evidences that much OF
the little remaining time of the pres
ent session would be given over to
speeches on the subject. beginning in
the next dav or two.
In neither senate nor house was
there any comment today. The arti-
Giles dealing with arbitration and dis
armament were read on the house
floor during consideration OF the army
aviation bill 'by Representative Har-
rison, of Mississippi, Democrat, and
were greeted with scattering applause
but without any marked demonstra
ton or subsequent debate.
