HARDING CRITICIZED
FOR MEXICAN POLICY
Big Interests Blamed for
Washington Attitude.

The policy of the United States toward
Mexico was criticized by Jacinto Lopez,
Venezuelan and editor of Reform So
cidl. published here, and by Noises
Saenz, formerly director of the National
Preparatory School of Mexico. both of
whom addressed a meeting of the For
eign Policy Association yesterday at the
Waldorf-Astoria. James G.. Mcdonald,
chairman of the association, presided
and outlined the status OF affairs be-
tween the two countries. Mr.. Lopez
said:
Washington Is treating Mexico as a
nation that has been vanquished In war.
President Harding Is pursuing the same
policy as President Taft did in the re-
lation of the United States toward Mica
ragua. President Wilson's policy, aimed
at the downfall of Huerta. brought
about different results from those
anticipated. President Wilson was a
killer of nations and President Harding
is following In his steps"
Mr.. Saenz said the United States has
no right to ask nation to reform it's
constitution. He added:
Practically all the nations OF the
world. except the United States, Franco
and England. have recognized Mexico.
The countries that could lend money to
Mexico have been prevented from doing
so by the United States"
Mr.. Saenz gave II as his opinion that
big interests at Washington are behind
the Governments policy.

Howe Of Vermont was presiding In
liquor cases. received a quart bottle OF
"Old Continental Kentucky yesterday

Judge Howe grew impatient when he
was informed that Government chem

White, Anthony Cassese and four other
defendants who were charged with hav-
ing offered. to sell 200 cases of the

Whats the use of giving 1t to
chemist" the judge complained. That's
waste of time. Open up a case and
let the jury taste 1t. Those men can
tell whether it's liquor or not. Anybody
knows good whisky"
One Of the court attendants produced
a bottle. According to the label 1t was
made in 1916 and bottled in 1920. He
pulled the cork and handed it to the
foreman. No glasses were used. The
bottle was passed along the jury box
and all but two Of the Jurors took a
drink. Those who sampled the stuff
made no effort to disguise their pleasure.
No defense was offered after the Gov
ernment testimony was in. Judge Howe
directed the discharge Of Cassese and
sent the case against the other defend
ants to the jury on the charge of trans
porting liquor. The counts alleging con-
spiracy and selling were dismissed.
At five minutes to one Judge Howe
finished charging the jury and instructed
them to have lunch and to take the
evidence with them" When they re-
turned the bottle was empty. They re-
turned verdict of not guilty for all five
of the defendants

FREE SPEECH DENIED,
ASSERTS THEOLOCIAN
State LaWs Restrictive, Says
Harry F. Ward.

Invasions of the rights of free speech,
which result from State laws and mu-
ricipal ordinances. were characterized
as "most serious" by Harry r. Ward,
professor of Christian ethics at Union
Theological Seminary, who spoke before
the Tuesday assembly OF the Ethical
Culture High School. Central Park West
and Sixty-third street, yesterday.
Prof Ward said repression was excr.
c,scd chiefly against radicals and those
representing labor. If the discontented
could find no solution for their problems
through discussion. said Prof. Ward.
there remained only violence.
Various instances of what was called
illegal denial of the right OF free speech
we're cited. The speaker referred to one
case in Connecticut which he said came
UP six months after the signing of the
armisticc whore man who referred to
Lenine as the most brainiest man In
the world" was imprisoned.
Within the last two weeks members
of the I. W. w. were Jailed In Mississippi
on charges of vagrancy when they had
been actually at work. said Prof. Ward.
He added that New York lawyer who
went there TO defend them had been
beaten and driven from town.

Babson's Janaury report on indus
tries says: prices of furniture at
wholesale have, on the average, been
brought down to a point where they
compare favorably with the average
price of all commodities : : . At re-
tail, prices have still to be readjuted
downward before they will have a
reasonable relationship to wholesale
prices"
This is warning to look before
you buy; to compare prices and quail
tiles and values.
Wanamaker prices are down be-
cause during the past half year we
bought from day to day in small lots,
taking advantage of every new re-
duction in the wholesale market.
Actually nine -tenths of our furni-
ture stock has come tOOur floors with
in the past few months fresh from
the factory, all bearing new low
prices.
Now, from these new low prices
the February reductions averaging a
third are made.
You will be surprised, when you
come, to see how really small the
prices are. It's like getting back to
old times!
But the quality of the furniture
remains high. No more war-quality
