The sensational attacks of Col.
William Mitchell upon the bureau
cracy which runs the United States
navy department have put those self
sufficient cold fogies" in an embar-
rassing position.
They must either courtmartial him
or ignore the charges of incompet
ency publicly made against their i'm
perial vainglory.
If they cOurt-martial Mitchell, they
fear it may be impossible to keep
from the public the damaging evil
dence the doughty colonel is sure to
present at the trial, for it is admitted
that Mitchell knows more about air
craft than any other officer in the
service.
If they ignore the charges, they
know that sufficient evidence has
leaked out already to convince the
public of the truth of Mitchell's con-
tentions, and that public opinion will
convict them Of not daring to start
the investigation which would surely
follow the revelations made at the
trial.
Their only hone, it would appear,
will be to have the colonel tried on
charge of "insubordination," without
allowing any other question to come
up. 1t may be possible to dispose of
Mitchell by this course, because the
court is a creature of military Off
cialdom and its members themselves
might be cited for characterization"
should they dare to disobey the or
ders of their superior officers.
The case of Colonel Mitchell eX-
poses an anomalous feature in our
American government. Every officer
of the army and navy takes a solemn
oath to cherish and protect our coun-
try. Yet free speech is denied to
them by the rules of the autocratlc
system to which they are subject No
matter what dangers a subordinate
officer may see threatening our coun-
try, no matter what abuses Of author
ity he may know of, he may not
speak without the permission of those
responsible for the conditions he
would complain of, if they rank above
him in command. If he does so, as
Colonel Mitchell has courageously
done, he is liable to trial and pun
ishment by a military court for Gin
subordination."
Colonel Mitchell has said that hn
considered these things previous to
making his sensational charges and
that he will welcome trial by a
court t-martial if only it will serve to
bring before the public the evidence
which will prove his charges to be
justified by the facts.
Who otay,ap bureaucracy vengeance
is wrecked upon Mitchell, the presi-

LAND OWNERSHIP
Alien Holdings in Mexico Should Have
Limitations Says Pres. Gales

Mexico City-The limitation of
alien land owning was favored by
President Gales in his message to the
Mexican congress. This plan will
avoid diplomatic differences, said the
president. At present land owning by
foreigners often conflicts with the ma
TONS agrarian laws. When the gov
prnment has solved the agricultural
problem, he said, it will not be neces
sary to limit alien land holding. The
chief executive let it be understoo:
that the conutry's laws could not be
evaded by foreigners becoming mem
bers of societies or parties to busi-
ness agreements. These, he said,
must be considered Mexican, when
formed in this country.
