MEXICAN MONEY IS FLOWING TO GERMANY
 MINING EXPERT SAYS
By International News service)

By International News Service)
 KANSAS CITY, Sept. l3.-"Recog nize Mexico and President Alverdo Ob- regon and divert to America the stream of Mexican money which is flowing in millions of dollars into the pockets of German manufacturers.
 That was the plea of J. C. Under, wood, and American mining expert, upon his arrival in Kansas City from Nogales, Ariz.
 According to Underwood, the Amer. ican business man is losing thousands of dollars, which he otherwise could get. solely because of the govern ment's refusal to recognize Obregon and his people.
 Underwood says manufacturers and mine operators of Mexico are pleading for equipment to run their plants de stroyed during the civil war there
 The Mexican farmer is sorely in need of threshers and farming equip ment. Hundreds of mills are closed because of lack of machinery, but American manufacturers are denied this market. because the United States adopts the attitude that the country below the Rio Grande is a void.
 English, French and German sales men are seizing the opportunity and arriving in Mexico by the hundreds. They are writing orders which other, wise would he filled by American fac tories'
 For several years Underwood has made his home in Nogales, Ariz., where the dividing line between the United States and Mexico passes di- rectly through the middle of the little citys main street
 According to Underwood the time has arrived for America to grasp the fact that Mexico is tired of fighting and that the people stand solidly be- hind their president.

ton of these islands makes them a positive menact to Japan Japan will not. evacuate Yap so long as her evacuation is not compensated by sim. liar concessions on the part of Amer ica
 What Compels us to suspect Amer. ica is her position in the Shantung question. America has no conceivable interest in this part of the Chinese ter ritory, and has no right whatever to have a say in the matter, and yet Japan has yielded to the American attitude. mainly out of the fear to lis ten to America might bring stronger pressure to bear on us.
 The only alternative open to Ja- pan in a situation brought about by the American president is to face the situ- ation bravely and withdraw from the conference if she is satisfied that the free development of her people in China and Siberia Is not compatible with the settlement of Far East and Pa cfic problems
 Withdrawal will necessarily mean var with America. This is why I sug- grst that Japan should be fully pre- pared for war before going to the con ference"
