toned Reports Of lmpend-
ing Revolution.

Washington-President Gales oil
Mexico in a statement issued by the
Mexican embassy here asserted that
Secretary Kellogg's statement con.
tanned a threat" against Mexico's
sovereignty and that the implication
that Merico stood ION trial before the
world" in the guise of defendant "in
essence would only mean an insult"
Furthermore President Gales added,
Mexico does not accord to any foreign
country the right to intervene in her
domestic affairs, nor is she disposed
to subordinate her international rela-
tions to the exigencies OF another
country"
President Gales also regrets that
Secretary Kellogg mentioned in his
statements reports Of an impending re-
volution In Mexico, ''since this last
affirmation tends to cast some alarm
in the world in regard to the condi-
tion Of my country"
"The statement that the government
OF the United States will continue to
support the government of Mexico
only so long as 1t protects American
interests and lives and complies with
its international engagements and
obligations" he declares, "embodies a
threat to the sovereignty of Mexico
that she cannot overlook and rejects
with all energy"

WASHINGTON LETTER
scor.,nued from Page II

Professor David Friday, one of
the foremost economists of the
country, has made an intensive
study of the agricultural situa-
ton, especially as it relates to
prices. His conclusions are to the
effect that prices of farm pro-
ducts are relatively higher; out
put of farms has increased 40 per
cent, although the actual number
OF farms has decreased with the
influx to large communi-
ties. No matter where an
inquiry is made from appar-
emily impartial sources, I h e
opinion prevails that the Ameri-
can farmer is gradually coming
into his own but it will require
time and patience on his part to
bring his economic condition up
to level with other industries.
Washington for conferences with
Financial leaders coming to
Washington for conferences with
the Treasury Department are dis
cussing the probability of legisla-
tion at the next session of Con-
gress allowing the extension of
branch banking. This subject is
of peculiar Importance to small
towns where bank failures have
an unusually disastrous effect. 1t
seems that the remedy suggested
is to have larger banks which can
afford to spread their risks over
variety of industries and over a
considerable territory.
Treasury officials say that the
attempt to provide banking facil-
tiles to the small communities,
and particularly to communities
where the dominant industry is
agriculture, by means of small in
dependent banks, has proven a
failure. 1t is likewise said that
the effort to safeguard the de-
poslts of the people in these
small banks by means of guaran-
tee of deposits, has also proven
failure. Government figures
show that it is a serious problem
as 753 banks failed in this coun-
try last year, nearly all of them
in agricultural states.
The transfer of the summer
White House to Swampscott,
Massachusetts, raises an interest
ing question for the State De

tional law that wherever an en-
bassy or legation is located that
property is to be regarded as for
eign soil where diplomatic i'm.
munity prevails. The summer

cially in the vicinity of the sum.
