history at Northwestern University,
at the Clark University conference on
Mexico and the Caribbean" today
DR.. Cox. who was a member of the
commission of 1918 to study condi-
tions throughout Mexico. said the
problem there was one of seIf-help or
self-destruction. "Carranza." he said,
"espoused a program combining po-
litical privilege with social regenera-
ton, but his material resources were
inadequate and his human agents un-
equal to the strain of official respon-
sibility. Once more 'watchful wait
ing is our policy. but it should not
be without purpose. Carranza failed
for lack of adequate funds to main
tain his army and his public servants
His successor. once he has fully es-
tablished himself. must not be per-
| mitted to fail for like reasons"
Francis r. Taylor of Philadelphia,
chairman of the recent commission to
visit Friends missions in Mexico, found
the lack of educational facilities and

tion so far as it promised any i'm

Agents in This Country

The State Department has asked
Charge d'Afaires Summerlin. in Mex

and diplomatic agents of the de facto
government stationed in the United
States. It was authoritatively stated
at the department that no request
has been made for the attitude taken
by Mexican diplomatic representa-
tives abroad regarding the present
revolution.
No change in the negotiations look
ing to the payment of taxes by the
oil companies was reported. but it
was revealed that the controversy
includes discussion of a demand that
certain part of taxes not yet due
be paid in advance. Further indi-
cations of an adjustment were seen
in the unofficial announcement that
Manuel PalaeZ, commander in the oil
region. was on his way to Mexico City
to meet Obregon.

Farm Remedial Legislation Will
 Be First Business
 Of Next Conores:
[Republican A. p. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON. Dec. A. The first step toward remedial legislation for sarmers by congress will take the form of concurrent resolution directing restoration of the war finance corpora tion. This was made clear today in statements by Senator Harrison of Mississippi and Senator Heflin of Ala bama and Representative Byrnes of South Carolina.
 Necessity of action by the president would be avoided, it was contended, bv making the resolution concurrent in form and it would become effective on adoption.
 We intend during the first week of congress" Senator Harrison declared. to pass a resolution directing the sec retary of the treasury to revive the war finance corporation so our agricul- turai products may be marketable"
 ''The south and west have votes enough to pass such measure next
 week" Senator Heflin said.
 Sufficient sentiment had been creat ed, Senator Harrison said, Ito impress upon those in authority that it is nec- | essary that some immediate action he taken to relieve the critical situation The house and senate agricultural committees today heard Governor Me ! kelvie of Nebraska tell of the situation in his state. They will meet again or l Monday to hear any more interests de- siring to present views and then tC l formulate recommendations.

 Let us go slowly before enforc- ing anticipated. discarded and un- necessary laws that may bring down upon our heads a feeling of discontent, dissatisfaction and un- rest which might fan anew the flames of bolshevism," he said. Long since, men recognized the advisability of keeping churches and state apart.
 Law is intended to establish peace. bring happiness. create con. tentment-not to restrain citizens unreasonably in their freedom of action"
 The Jewish Sabbath Alliance of America in a statement declared at tempts to put into effect Sunday blue laws would be a direct vio- lation of the constitutional guar antee of the religious freedom.
