There is little doubt tAat raid II

ventionists think the time is pFopi
tious. Back Of the raid would be tn
sinister investors in oil, mines and
ranches who are too cowardly 20 risd
their own carcasses in the raid.
The organizations of the workers
should watch this menace and be pre-
pared to protest against it at any time.
The raid once begun would not end
until American imperialism had glutted
itself with the complete destruction
Of Mexican independence and until II
had installed its dummies in Mexico
City. A war with Mexico would set IN
motion vile passions and hatreds which
would in turn be directed with ten
fold severity against the organized
workers. Those who would gain would
be the investing capitalists and finan-
ciers in this country. Those who would
lose would be the workers of both
countries. Down with any such warl'

Explaining the Sugar Shortage

TO increased consumption than to a
lack of supply is the statement OF
George A. Zabriskie. head Of the
Federal Sugar Equalization Board.
This increased consumption was "en-
tirely unexpected" ne says.
The Sugar Equalization Board IS
due to 90 out of existence on Janu-
ary / of the coming year. The
board exercises control over the
country's entire sugar supply, and
during the war effected the ration
ing system which prevented sugar
panic. Unless the work Of the board
is continued, the fear is expressed
that, in view of the present and
growing shortage or increased con-
sumption, coupled with the failure OF
the government to negotiate for the
next Cuban crop, sugar crisis is in
evitable.
To preserve the equalization
board Senator McNary, Of Oregon,
has introduced bill which aims to
avert an acute sugar situation
threatened after January /. The
bill, drafted by W. A. Glasgow, for
mer counsel for the food admins
tration, authorizes the President to
continue wartime regulations by
substantially the same plans and
methods as have been used this year
by the equalization board. The
Presidents powers over the sugar
industry are otherwise greatly
broadened by the bill, to insure an
adequate supply in this country and

International Investigation

"The st. Paul Daily News" offers
no decision as to Jenkins's innocence
or guilt, but advises the submission
of the case to an impartial inter-
national investigating committee,
adding:
"How often must a puslllanimous
cheek be turned toward a deliberate
argravator before his offensc is cata-
logued as culpable? Is the government
withholding its wrath until an agent
of the United States is tortured?
"The tone of Mr. Lansing's latest
note has been characterized as strong
Words have variable meanings nova
days. A warning in the spirit of Don't
YOU u-dare-insult- me for the time
is of the sort which disturbs neither
chronic bad boys nor chronic bad ma
tions."
In a similar spirit "The Boston
Evening Transcript" finds the Jen-
kins case, together with the murder
of Eugene Lack, a California sher-
ifs officer, by one of the Mexican
police, as sacrifices on the altar Of
pusillanimity." More
over, we read:

ton is due to increased demand for
soft drinks, ice cream and other
sweet stufs to take the place of the

refuses or delays. 1t is generally
believed that Jenkins is innocent,
since the Mexican charge was based
on slight, If any, evidence. 1.-THE
Ell Paso Morning Times" considers
the fact that his relatives and
friends paid the money a proof OF
his innocence. Then, the State De-

preponderance of evidence in his

been unduly sensitive in these mat
ters. On the contrary, it has
shown tendency to resolve every
doubt adversely to American citi-
zens who were in trouble in Mexico,
and give the Mexican government
the best of the argument"
The real motive for the whole
affair, according to "The New York
Times" and "The Philadelphia
Press" was the desire of Carranza's
enemies to get his government into
trouble by showing its inability to
protect life and property even in
city as large as Puebla, the second
in Mexico. The Mexican govern

royalty horses were more important

Narrow escapes Of matadors, even their
