gobierno de Mexico
Ia resoluci6n en
que pide larup-
tura de re-
lacioneS

NUEVA YORK, Dicienbre 6.--En
articulo editorial, THE World" CO.
,nenta la resolution del senador Fall
proponeindo la suspension de relacio-
nes con el gobierno de Carranza
el retro del reconocimiento de este
por los Estados Unidos. Y dice The
World:
La resolution de Fall es un desa-
hogo no debe tomarse tan en- serlo
como ha sido tomada. Porque los
miembros de la Comision de Relacio-
ues Exteriores del Senado saben bien
que el Presidente puede suspender
las relaciones diplomaticas con Mexi-
CO en- cualquier tempo que e. 10 con-
sidere prudente. Y para hacer tai,
le bastara con dar sus pasaportes al
Embajador Mexicano para que regre-
Sc a su pals rehusarse tratar mas
con Carranza, con 10 cual lie negara
su reconocimiento dip!omatico.
"El gobierno no necesita de una re
solucion del Senado que le olga 10
que debe hacer, sino en- el case de
que Sc llegue el momento en- que Sc
lie olga al Congreso que debe prepa-
rarse para declarar la guerra.
La resolution de Fall. por otra
parte, no esta dirigida en- contra de
Csrranza, como 10 parece, sino mas
bien en- contra del Prcsidente de los
Estados Unidos. En- verdad, no es
esta Ia primera vez en- Que de una ma
nera maliciosa Intervene Fall en- Ia
politica mexicana de ia administra-
ci0n. E. de recordarse al efecto que
cuando aun Sc encontraban en- Mexico
las fuerzas expedicionarias de Per-
sling enviadas capturar Villa,
Fall en- una carta dirigida Hunt, es-
c.ibia:
"Sj Villa podria llegar convancer-
me de que estaba en- posicion, sin Ia
intervention lie este gobierno, de res
tablecer el orden Y de mantener Ia
paz en- Mexico Y me diera segurida-
des plenas y satisfactorias de que
cumpliria coz las obligaciones inter-
nacionales, asi como de que protege-
ria dcbidamente las vidas y propieda-
des de naciolales Y extranjeros, yo
llcvaria a conocimiento del pueblo de
los Estados Unidos tales segurida-
des Y aconsejaria, aprovechando mi
conocimiento de los asuntos mexica-
nos. 10 que yo considero que es 10
mejor que el gobierno puede hacer
en- Mexico.
''Ningun niembro de! Senado es
menos digno de que Sc le crea en- la
question de la politica mexicana, que
Fall, juzgando por 10 que de el CO.
nocemos. Puede ser que haya abuH-
dantes razones para que los Estados
Unidos cambien de actitud hacia Ne
xico, pero es el case que el pueblo
americana no las conoce. La verGad
es que Sc le rlantiene ohscuras res
pecto de esas razones y de que Sc le
cmpuja hacia Ia intervention, sin que
hasta la fecha Sc le hayan dado a CO.
nocer los hechos que en- algln grado
justifiquen Ia agitaci5n que Sc nota
en- el Congreso respecto de la situa-
cion mexicara.
''Lo que es mas digno de criticar
q los honbres que estan en- el Capt.
tolio es el secreto con que cubren n
question mexicana. Y es llegado ell
tempo de que Sc haga la luz en- esta
empresa que sc proyecta, para que ell
pueblo sepa de 10 que Sc trata, va

That all of the people of Bisbee who have children of school age will have to send them to school, is the inten- ton of Miss Ida Ford, truant officer for the district A. Rojas of Brewery guleh, having refused to send his two children to school, Miss Ford had him hailed before the city court. After having been convicted of the offense, Rojas was given a stiff lecture by the court and the promise of heavy sen tence unless he complied at once with the law. He promised that he would do so and as a result both his chil- dren were in school yesterday. There are few habitual truants in the dis trict but this number wih be reduced in the immediate future, Miss Ford says, as she is preparing a campaign against the parents.
