Macarthur Calls Mexico
Menace to Our Future

The Mexican problem is no longer
one that concerns border welfare and
the investments of Americans in the
country beyond the Rio Grande, but
has become a national problem, a
menace to the future welfare of this
western hemisphere, according to Rep
resentative C. N. Macarthur. of Ore
gon, who was the guest of honor yes
terday at luncheon Of the United
Waist League of America at the Hotel
McAlpin. The Representative dis
cussed the various phases of the Mex
lean problem. He said in part:
1.-THE doctrine of hate of America and
her people is not confined to any group
or faction in Mexico. 1t prevails on all
sides. 1t is inculcated in the youth Of
who are taught to despise US and curse
our flag.
"The real menace of Mexico, how
ever, lies in the future. With one rev.
olution succeeding another and with an
increasing hatred for America and her
people, and with our government con-
tinuing its attitude Of complacency,
Mexico presents a most inviting field
for exploitation AY some foreign power
unfriendly to the United States. Mex
leo herself is not to be feared, but
mexico a6 an ally IS problem OF serl-
Gus concern.
"Any foreign power with which we
may be at war in the future and which
may adopt Mexico as an ally would not
only be able to land great army in
Mexico and attempt an invasion Of the
United States, but would be almost
certain to attempt a land attack on
the Panama Canal in the hope of
selling or destroying it, thereby cut
ting off our naval communication be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific.
"Pacifists and towards will rise UP
with Mexico. No right thinking person
wishes to engage in war if it can be
honorably avoided, but no one but
coward and a traitor wishes to remain
supinely in a state of peace, when our
rights as a nation are being ruthlessly
violated"

Quiet prevailed over the entire min ing region on Sunday so far as reports that were received both by coal opera tors and at union mine headquarters in the Farley building indicated.
 Neither headquarters had heard of any act of violence or of any special demonstration. No meetings of any moment outside of the one in Woodrow Wilson park were held There were no formal gatherings at any of the mines or nearby.
 Many of the operators went to their mines yesterday and prepared for a general resumption of work today.
 Work was very slack on Friday and Saturday of last week following the excitement among the negro work CTS that came on the heels of the killing of Leon Adler in Walker county and the attack on the negro miners at Ma 1estic in this county, in which one ne- gre was killed.
 Nine arrests for implication in the killing of Leon NJ Adler were made yesterday at Patton. Walker county, It is believed that the ripgleader is in the party.

Athens. September IS. 1920. Mrs. A. J. Bowron, Birmingham, Ala. E
 My dear Mrs. Bowron-I have yoar letter of the 10th inst, asking for an ex- Pianation of my participation in the en- tertainment of certain members of the Ienhessee legislature, who during the re- cent special session of that body, came to Decatur for the purpose of avoiding the presence of d quorum
 T have no disposition to question your right to such an explanation, and no hesitation whatever in stating my connection with the entertainment of those gentlemen.
 It is fact that I. in company with other citizens of Athens, upon learning that these members were in Decatur visited them and invited them to come to Athens. Our invitation was accepted and we entertained them with a water melon feast and dinner, and made their brief stay in Athens as pleasant as possible, and for this action I havo no compunetions whatever and do not in the least feel guilty of any disloyaity to the democratic party
 do not conceive that there has been any action on the part of any demo- cratic council or convention command ing or encouraging democrats anywhere to urge members of the legislature of tennessee to ignore a very plain and. important provision of their -state con- stitution. It is quite true that the demo- cratic national convention urged the leg islature of Tennessee to ratify the nine teenth amendment. I suppose there were the feweSt number In that convention who had any knowledge of the pro vision of Tennessee's constitution as to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-20

how federal amenGments should be rati- fled. Only one other state, Florida so Tar as know has such provision.
 PROVISION OF CONSTITUTION
 l assume that we all are now aware that the Tennessee constitution pro- yides that no federal amendment shall be ratified by the legislature of that state unless the members of the legis- iature ratifying have been elected sub sequent to the submission of the amend meht. This, in my judgment, is, most wholesome provision, and 1 heartily agree with our nominee, Governor Cox, in whose election l feel a great interest and am doing all l can to promote, that 1t is provision that should be in every state constitution. and if l may indulge in prophecy, 1 am of the opinion that the next federal amendment will be to this effect, unless the supreme court of the United States, in it's decision on the Ten nessee case, holds that provision in the constitution is valid and binding, which holding would of course obviate the ns- cessity of any federal amendment on the subject.
 Tn my own judgment, there is no conflict between the provision of the Tennessee constitution and the federal constitution on this subject. I do not think that the Ohio case, about which ties the question. The United States su- preme court in the Ohio case merely said that after a legislature ratified a provision of state constitution requir- ing referendum was void and in con flict with the federal constitution In
