MUCH COMMENT ON
ALLIES POLICY
s.. TOWARD RUSSIA.

London, Feb. 25.-Annonncement
of the Allied policy toward Russia
has evoked mixed comment from the
London press. The Times. which is a
strong opponent Of Bolshevism, ac-
cuses Premier Lloyd George with
having for more than q year
sought for his own purposes to
throw weak. ignorant and reluctant
Europe into the Venal arms of her
Bolsheviki seducer.,"
The Daily News says the new poll
cy bears all the marks of COM
promise, having manifestly emerged
from conflict Of views but that the
balance on the good side unquestion-
ably predominates.
The Chronicle which has lately adj
vocated peace with the Bolsheviki.
says yesterdays decision embodies a
big step forward but is masked under
evasive expressions.
L.abor's organ, the Herald, exults
in the fact that ''the Allies are
grudgingly and reluctantly taking
the part they should have taken a
year ago, but regrets the language Of
their manifesto is insolent,"

Notes Were Between State
Department and Mexi-
can Government.

Mexico City, Feb. 25.-Texts OF
three notes which have recently
passed between the Mexican govern
ment and the state department at
Washington were made public at the
foreign office here last night.
The first was a request from for
mer Secretary Lansing that the
Mexican government wise passports
Of Henry Forres. and American wit
nesses before the Fall subcommittee
which recently sat at Ell Paso, Texas,
The second was the Mexican refusal
to accede to this request and the
third was Mr.. Lansing's refusal to
allow the Issuance of permits for the
Shipment OF arms and ammunitions
to Mexico from the United States
Note Sent February IS.
The state departments note rel
ative to Forres was submitted to the
foreign Office by George T. Summer
lin, American charge d'affaires here,
on, February IS. The Mexican gov
ernment's attention was called to the
fact the Mexican consul at Eagle
Pass had refused to wise Forres' pass
ports because the latter had testified
before the Fall subcommittee. The
note pointed out that Forres had no

ened with severe penalties If. he failed
to appear, and expressed the belief
the Mexican government could grant
the wise without sacrificing her inter-
national right to refuse admittance
to an undesirable alien.
The Mexican reply dated February
20. pointed out that Forces, in testi-
fying.A alleged that anarchistic condi-
tions prevailed in Mexico, citing as
proof the fact that President Car

over proposed in tones which sexcit-
