PETROLEUM INTERESTS

"A great deal Of tho trouble that exists In. Mexico Il
aacrihed by various writer's to the petroleum interests.
and We are frequent told that all tbs disturbances would
soon substde were It not for the clashtnx Of rival inter
ests In the great oil fields and the effort that u being
made by sone Of tho companies TO dominate the Mexi-
can government In their own interest.
There can be no doubt that promoters Of all kinds
have sought to exploit the oil, mineral and other natural
resources Of Mexico. Mexican politicians have enriched
themselves By peddling out concessions out Of which the
government received very little and tho politicians q
good deal. Tho foreign promoters and tho local ponti-
clans have worked together. and both haye reaped rich
harvests.
But It is also Z fact that whatever has been done In
Mexico in the way Of actual Development has been done
through the investment Of foreign capital Through for
eien investment the rich old fields were discovered. It
took a lot Of drilling and experimenting to ind out
where oil existed in paying quantities and where it did
not, and, the discoveries made, it took immense sums to
provide the equipment necessary for successful produc-
ton. An Of this meant the investment Of foreign money,
and foreign money was invested in millions.
The foreigner who has invested his money In good
faith in Mexican enterprises is entitled to a square deal.
He should expect to pay whatever taxes are levied
against his property within reason. and should be will
ing to do his share toward providing for the expenses Of
the government. No nation can object to these things
being required of Its citizens. But If the man who has
invested his money in good faith faces tho conasoa4ton
OF his property he had q we'll founded grievance, and ono
which the government Of his own country should reoog.
nixe. ."@E W. -
The specific charge has been made against some Of
the oil companies that they are fomenting revolution by
contributing funds to revolutionary organizations. In re-
ply to this it is stated that in the districts concerning
which this complaint is made, the carranza government
does not even attempt to exercise authority, and that
revolutionary parties are actually in charge. and abba to
enforce such demands as they choose to make. They
have demanded, tribute Of the oil companies. with tho
threat more or less directly made that if the tribute were
not forthcoming the oil properties would be destroyed.
Rather than suffer the destruction of their property the
oil men pay such sums rs are demanded.

THOSE TOWN. Ely SPEECHES

Mr.. Lenks takes issue with Judge Dean concerning
tho admission Of Townleys speeches during the trial at
jackson. Minnesota, and In doing SO he confirms statements
which have already been made as to some of the reas-
ons why Mr.. Townley insisted. on addressing the Jury after
tho testimony was all In rather than to appear on the
stand as a winess.s
Mr.. Lemke says that Townley speeches which were
admitted in evidence were submitted by the prosecution.
that the defense was denied the privilege of introducing
other speeches, and that it was for this reason that Town.
icy desired to speak to the jury. H.
In hts statement at the time Of sentencing Townlev.
Judge Dean made 1t very plain under what rules certain
speeches ware admitted and others were rejected. Town
~ was on trial for the commission Of crime. The prose-
cution held that q part Of the evidence Of this crime was
and In support Of this contention it submitted the tert of
those speeches entire and unchanged so that the fury
could determine whether or not those particular address
es were seditious. Tho defense sought to introduce in
evidence \ number Of other speeches which it was main
tanned were not seditious. This was objected to bv the
state on the ground that the introduction of speeches
which weFe not seditious could not be held to Offset those
which were. and the court sustained this objection The
ruling seems to be perfectly fair and reasonable and it is
unquestionably In line with court procedure. and the
rules OF evidence. Atman who is charged with the COM
mission Of a murder at a particular time and place is not
permitted to offset direct testimony in support of the
charge bybrtnging in witnesses to swear that at other
times ana places he not only did not commit murder but
actually performed highly meritorious acts, yet that is
the basis on which the demand was made for the intro
ducdon Of Townieys speeches. Their Admission va. de-
MED. Townleyt knew that he could not introduce them
in testimony himself, and moreover that he could not ap-
pear on the stand at all without being subjected to Z cross
examination which might bs highly tnconvenient for him,
therefore he remained OF the witness stand and demand.
Cd that he be permitted to occupy the speakers stand
wheFs ne could have everything his own way.
