SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. H.
The Mexican people will never con-
sent to sell Lower California to the
United States.
Gov. Esteban Cantu of Baja
Oower) California, today tele-
graphed that statement to the
United Press.
Gov. Cantu declared the Mexican
people resent agitation in the United
States for the purchase of the PEN
insula, much as American people
would resent II If the English par
lament should discuss the purchase
of the state Of California.
Mexico relies upon the principle
Of self lf-determination for all nations,
which the American president has
so nobly voiced" 10 safeguard Mex
lean territory from foreign occupa-
ton, Cantu stated.
The governors statement was
made in reply to telegram sent
him by the United Press informing
him that the people Of the United
States would appreciate an express
sion from him regarding the agita-
ton in congress for the purchase of
the peninsula.
No Authority Provided.
The Mexican people will never
consent TO sell a portion of their ter
ritory," Gov. Cantu's message states.
Their constitution does not author
ize either the president or the con-
gress of the republic TO do this.
Their feelings are just as much
hurt when the purchase of Lower
California is discussed in the Amer
lean congress as the feelings OF
Americans would be if the purchase
of Upper California were discussed
in the English parliament.
They are fully confident, how
ever. that the principle Of self deter
mination for all nations. which the
American president has no nObly
voiced. shall effectually safeguard
Mexican territory from foreign oc-
cupation."

PARIS, Jan. 17.-America has
won the biggest diplomatic victory
in the peace conferences to date.
through the large representation
secured by the new world powers,
in the opinion OF the French press
today.
Great Britain obtained a big ad-
vantage when representation was
granted her colonies. But, the news
papers insist, the Americans now
have an even greater number of
votes at their disposal without
counting Canada which, on many
points, is expected TO side with the
United States. The press complains
that France overlooked a bet in not
having her numerous colonies, which
contributed heavily 70 the war in
troops. money and materials, repre-
sented at the conferences.
The American majority indicates
according TO the French newspa-
pers, that the moment the United
States entered the war for purely
humanitarian ends, her statesmen
foresaw that these ends could not be
7, attained unless the peace confer
ences were dominated by states witt
similarly altruistic aspirations. The
press is therefore inclined to inter.
pret the entry Of Central and South
American republics and the Wes'
Indies nations as the most far.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE war be-
tween democracy and terrorism will
be largely decided at the interna-
tionaI labor and socialist congress in

labor. that the German and Russian
delegates be admitted to the con-
gress.

at stake" he said. The issue is
democracy versus terrorism. Be-
tween the two the western world
cannot long delay its choice.

BY United Press:
PARIS. Jan. 17.-The greatest
political battle OF modern times was
being fought out here today-in Sc
cret This struggle centered on the
Russian situation. It's outcome was
believed to hinge largely on the re-
suit Of the newspaper correspon-
dents fight for publicity of the
peace proceedings.
The general question at stake was
the right of a people TO self deter
mination. The specific question was
the application of this vital princi-
pie 10 Russia. This matter was be-
ing discussed alongside the problem
Of open or secret diplomacy. If the
correspondents win their fight for
admission TO the conferences, the
nature Of the other big conflict will
soon become apparent.
linking of Situation.
Some inkling Of the situation was
given 10 America by the United
Press recently, when it revealed the
fact that the peace delegates were
divided as TO whether fair inquiry
should be made into Russian af-
fairs, with a view to offering CO.
operation or whether the conference
should act on the assumption that
| the situation is exactly as has been
/ painted by hostile propagandists and
! that investigation is unnecessary.
/ Further inkling came when the

milton OF the soviet government, re-
vealing an evident effort to use the

/ dispose OF matters as vital as the
/ Russian situation.
Question I'm Allegiance.
Il was explained today that the
matters of sending an allied COM
mission to investigate Russian con-
/ ditions is being held in abeyance be-
cause OF the illness OF Col House.
/ This IS only part of the reason. The
l other part is the sudden realization
I in certain quarters that such move
would mean at least partial recog-
milton OF the present Russian gov

Unless the delegates are able "a

would eliminate all possibility Of its
being construed as any form OF rec
ognition. it is possible that no inves-
tigation OF Russian problems will be
undertaken until after the full peace
con gress votes on it-and then only
in case the advocates OF an inquiry
out-vote their opponents.
Russia's case puts on trial at the
outset OF the conferences the prin-
ciple OF self determination and II is
certain 70 be a bitter fight, since Il
involves the question OF the right OF
any nation 10 launch an entirely
new form OF government; in this
instance. an industrial democracy.
