America, though prohibited, were an

Rejecting the suggestion that the
next election will result in internal

that social Reorganization would be
avoided because Of the election Of re-
forms recently enacted.

themselves as victors. the executives

MEXICAN STATESMAN
SEES BREAK UNLIKELY
Copyright. 1919. by the United Pres.. }

Copyright. 1919. by the United Press }
= MEXICO CITY, Dec. 21.-Mexico is
confident there will be no break in
relations with the United States, par
ticularly because it believes the
American people are opposed to in
tervention, Aguilar Berlanga, minis
ter of gubernacion, said in an inter-
view today. His post is equivalent to
that OF premier
Il confidently expect that no break
in relations will occur" Berlanga de-
clared. The point of view taken by
MeXicans in considering the possibil-
ity of American intervention is based
on the conviction that the people Of
the United States are opposed to it
Intervention is only desired by GER
tain conscienceless politicians and a
certain class of business men who do
not represent the true sentiment Of
the American people or the American
Government.
"Best Desires Actuate.-
I'm the matter OF relations between
Mexico and the United states there is
a great advantage in that both gov
ernments are aCtuated by the best de-
sires. Conflicts which arise are pro-
voked by passion or commercialism
or the part of groups hostile to Mex
ico and which arc active outside
American administration circles. En-
patriated Mexicans also have a hand
IN this evil. in the undertaking of
which, fortunately, is unsuccessful to
date. so far as its ultimate aims are
concerned"
Questioned regarding the case CT
William o. Jenkins. American consul
lar agent imprisoned at Puebla for
alleged collusion with the bandits
who recently kidnapped him, BcrlanSa
said:
Far from being a conspiracy. the
arrest of Jenkins was based on SUI
ficient presumptivo evidence to war
rant his indictment aCcord'n to our
code. Flegrant contradictions II
Jenkins testimony by numerous wit
nesSes would have been sufficient
evidence for his tentative imprison
mcut.
Cnsc Painful One.
The case certainly has been pain
iul ones but the lagal proceedings lave
been on tn" part of public order. and.
therefore, have been unavoidable. The
provisions of the Law have been strict
~ complied with. The courts dlOH
can decide the merits of the case.
The question OF jurisdiction. as
between the different courts, does not
affect the root of the difficult situa-
tion In which the two Government Is
have been placed. A not eXtraOrdi-
nary conflict of opinions has result
ed, but these have caused no break
IN relations, which continue on sim
cere and open basis"
Asked regarding the suggested
treaty. providing that ircursions of
bandits be treated as matters for the
local police to handle rather than as
cause for diplomatic interchange
the minister declared the Mexican
government is waging an anti-band't
campaign. but is Handicapped by grow
1 ing anti-Mexican agitation.

is the biggest success Mr.. Hodge has
enjoyed since the days OF The Mao

what of a departure from the char
acters with which he has been iden-
tined. Instead OF the role being
bucolic. it is decidedly urban. as he
impersonates an author struggling for
recognition in the metropolis. But
this does not deny him the oppoFtu-
