STRONG NOTE
TO MEXICO
U. S. DECLINES TO BE DRAWN
FROM THE MAIN
ISSUES.
MUST FREE CONSUL
SHARP WORDS FROM NOTE TO
PRESIDENT CARRANZA BY
UNITED STATES.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The govern,
ment's note to Mexico, made public
at the hour of its delivery in Mexico
city, reneWs the request for the i'm
mediate release of William q. Jen-
kinS, the American consular agent I'M
prisOned ut Puebla, and bluntly
charges Carranza with attempting 10
becloud the issue. In the S~harpest
language yet addressed To the Car
rama government, and probably more
pointed han one government usually
addresses another in Il formal diplo-
matte communication. the United
States says ii regards MrNico'S plea of
Judicial reasons for not releasing
Jenkins as 'mcre CXcu>eS,' and gives
notice that il will not be drawn away
from the main fact and into - dis
cuSsion of irrelevant and unimport-
ant matters
The attitude Of the tarranza gov
"rnmcnt in the matter, the note says,
has been to assume a Willlul iudif-
fcrenc" TO the feelings of the Amcri-
can people aud the conclusion drawn
by the government is that Mexico has
sought to divert the attention of the
American people and the Mexican
people as well from the fact that Iu-
ebla, second largest city in Mexico. is
overrun by bandits, while the civil
authorities are negligent
The ultimatum was served and no
time was given in which This govern
mcnt expects jenkins 10 be released
and neither was there any statement
in the note as to what the course Of
the American government would be If
the renewed request for his release
was denied.
After Il conference with Secretary
Lansing, Chairman Porter of the
House foreign affairs committee eN-
pressed the opinion that the State
Department means business this time"
Chairman Porter indicated that he
was in accord with the governments
present policy in dealing with the
Mexican situation.
The danger to the United States
of this condition of continual unrest
and feeling of hostility toward us in
Mexico" Mr.. Porter said, Lies in the
fact that it provides a fertile field for
nnti-American propaganda and even a
base for attack upon the United
States by amy foreign country that
affected n combination with Mexico.
by this the spirit, if not the letter. OF
the Monroe doctrine would be viO-
lated.

seemed Ia force the already tense

willing to show that The government is
taking Il firm position, considering the

with them, once Il course is chosen.

spent a black afternoon in embittered
debate over the government proposal
for II IA per cent wage increase, made
by Fuel Administrator Garfield, re-

that was forthcoming, and then dis
solved, sine die.

the break left coal strike conditions

would say. Likewise in official quar-
tiers there WAS silence.

say II word as 10 the strike itself,
which theoretically was called off in
obedience TO Federal Judge Amber
sons injunction holding it "a violation
of the Lever act for wartime food and
fuel control. scored the government
soundly at the conclusion of The con
ference. So did William Green, secre-
tary of the miners.
Operators, though accepting the
government proposal definitely in =
letter of explanation Ia Ir. Garfield,
which they made public, minated
that the government refusal To allow
price increases would bear rcconSid-

coal situation reached its climax.
