Americans Again Differ
As to Policies in Mexico

Opinions as to Secretary of State
kellogg's Mexican policy range from
unqualified Endorsement to undis-
guised condemnation. His firm warn
ing to President Gales Is called de.
structive of good will in Latin Amer
lea by the critics, while the Secre-
tary's supporters praise his courage.
Among the latter is the St. Paul
pioneer Press, which holds that Ibis
thinly veiled threat of a break in the
present unsatisfactory diplomatic re-
lations between the two countries
goes not a step too far" The paper
continues: IF Mexico does not like
Secretary Kellogg's warning, the
remedy is simple. She can fulfill her
obligations" The Wichita Beacon
sees the message as an expression in
plain terms that the citizens of this
country in Mexico are entitled to de.
cent treatment. England requires this
and gets 1t as a general thing. The
weak policy of the United States in
Mexico has singled us out for i'll treat
ment."
What it calls a straightforward,
plain-speaking, common.sense diplo-
macy that stands for something" is
welcomed by the Birmingham News.
THE issuance Of the Kellogg state
ment may sound hard-boiled," states
the News, land it may give the old.
time diplomats the shivers, but 1t is
quite in line with Kellogg's own course
as Ambassador to the Court of st.
James, and the recent straightforward
statement about European debts by
Ambassador Houghton." Patience
and forbearance in the matter are OBJ
served by the Syracuse Herald, which
declares that this attitude has been
overdone, and suggests that "if the
Latin American offender had been
powerful nation like Chile or Brazil,
we may be sure that the State De-
partment at Washington would not
warning" A failure on the part of
Mexico to execute her promises is
charged by the Springfield. ILL.,, State
Journal. "She is expected" that
paper asserts, ito fulfill the obliga-
tions, expressed and implied in her
treaties, to protect American life and
property on Mexican SOIL"
Mexico is on trial." in the opinion
OF the Detroit News, until she demon
strates that she can get along with
other nations. Is she now going to
prove that she cannot get on with
ing account of this situation, the Seat
tie Times suggests that President
Gales has displayed an unsuspected
sensitiveness." The Times adds: "If
Mexico's hair.strung emotions should
be aroused to a point where that
country would keep its treaty obliga-
tions all would be WELL" In similar
strain, the Sacramento Union states
that ''of all the countries in the world,
Mexico can leas afford to be sensitive
about the matter The Union says,
further, that Mr.. Kellogg probably
had no other thought in mind than a

timely warning and exhortation TO
the new national administration head
ed by President Gales to attend 70
the matter of adjustments.
Opposed to these opinions is the
view of the New Orleans Tribune
which remarks: Nobody here in New
Orleans among numerous elements
quite familiar with Mexican condi-
tions, seems to know of any revolu-
tionary movement of such proper
tions as to justify dubiousness in SO
high quarter. But if the seeds of
revolution are sprouting in Mexico
the statement of Mr.. kellogg will
greatly fertilize their growth" Testi-
mony from Texas as to conditions is
given by the Houston Chronicle, which
states: Texans rather f1atter them
selves that they are somewhat in
touch with conditions in Mexico. Busi-
ness men and railway executives visit
ing the republic have been a unit in
declaring conditions there the best in
years with the outlook for the fu
ture exceptionally bright"
Even more emphatic is the opin-
ion of the Des Moines Tribune that
"the controversy has arisen just
when Mexican American relations
were getting better than they have
been for a generation" while the
Charlotte Observer expresses the
opinion that Secretary Kellogg will
reckon without his host if he thinks
to entangle the American people in
another row with Mexico, and Incl
dentally destroy the good relations
of this country with every other
Latin American nation to the south
of u.s.
A suggestion from the Norfolk
Ledger-Dispatch that many good
Americans have desired military in
vasion" brings a reply from the
Lynchburg News that talk of in
tervention is much easier than max
ing such Intervention successful"
while the Dayton News argues: THE
government of Mexico has been
recognized with its promise to meet
certain obligations, among them the
guaranty. of protection for Americans
and their property rights. If Sec
retary Kellogg sought to strengthen
the hands of President Gales in Civ
ing that protection, his effort was
miserable failure: and If it was the
first move in a plan to show cause
because the people of the United
States will not approve such action"
The Baltimore Sun offers the view
that Gales plea for sympathy in his
efforts "to lift an illiterate people
strikes a responsive note in the heart
of every fair-minded American"
Taking similar view. the Baton
Rouge Louisiana Press declares
Gales "sits upon an uneasy lid over
a turbulent kettle" and the Atlanta
Journal believes that, since this is
the case, interference from without
seems to be particularly unfortu-
nate"

Poems of scathing satire are those
of Gale Young Rice in his new vol

disgust at human hypocrisy. selfish.
ness and stiffness which he finds
everywhere. In the poem ''The New

irony of individual lives. The poem

The musical treat Of years is in
store for Gardiner music lovers in the
appearance of Mario Cappelli, world
celebrated tenor of the Metropolitan
opera Company, who will be heard in
program of classical and folk songs
at the Gardiner High school audito-
rum on Monday evening, Jan. 4th.
This remarkable tenor is not simply a
singer, but an artist. He was born in
America of Italian parents, gifted
with an extraordinary tenor voice of
the best Italian character, developed
to the highest degree by faithful
training and study under the instruc-
ton of Arthur Hubbard, the eminent
vocal expert.
He was taken to Italy at the age of
three years. From childhood Capelli
had musical talent for singing; at
the age of eight he could sing many
operate airs in a boy fashion; at the
age of ten he won prize in the Mu-
steal Academy for singing Italian folk
songs. 1t was during one of the Liber-
ty Bond drives that -Caruso himself
heard this remarkable voice of Cap
pelli's and advised the young tenor to
begin serious studies.
Cappelli is conceded to be the only
Latin descendant in the world who
can sing with the purest English die
tlon. He loves negro folk songs and
has studied in the South the character
of these beautiful songs. He is the
only tenor since the late Caruso. who
makes a study of Italian folk lore
songs. which are loved the world over
Evidence of his ability is shown in
the fact that he was selected to sing

Boston, Mass, Dec. 22.-The horse

offerings consisting of good condi-
toned seconds and ordinary seconds.

sence of moisture is urgently wanted.
Meanwhile indications that export de-
mand for North American wheat was
still fiat tended to bring about price
setbacks for the time being, and so,
likewise, did month-end readjustments
of December accounts here.
Contributing to the force of the late
rally in the wheat market, however,
were current opinions from houses
with eastern connections that declines
in price had been more than sufficient,
and that a reaction might be looked
for. Under such circumstances the
number of buyers increased and the
bulge which ensued carried quotations
up to 3sc in some cases, compared with
the days bottom level. Houses iden-
titled with the upward swing commended
that, even assuming correctness of the
highest Argentine estimates of yield,
the world supply outlook was by no
means bearing as to wheat.
Speculative buying of corn gave that
cereal independent strength through
