BY a unanimous vote the Cham
Der of Commerce today adopted a
resolution condemning charges made
by DR.. Clarence True Wilson re-
Gently of Alaskan lawlessness and
vice as 80 palpaDly false that their
utterance must be attributed either
to ignorance and maliciousness' and
''maliciously libel, slander and
malign the people of the Territory" d"
The resolution also demands that
DR.. Wilson publicly retract the
statements so made by him."
Only two members spoke on the
resolution, r. E. Robertson, who
drafted it. declared the statements
attributed to DR.. Wilson in press
reports were the results of malice
or total ignorance. He did not be-
lieve that DR.. Wilson spoke with
malicious intent but that he had
been imposed on by others misrep-
resenting conditions to him. He
said Dr. Wilson, however, was sub
ject to criticism for making such
statements on hearsay and that such
action was unAmerican to the last
extreme.
Should Sue Wilson
IF we have any way of getting
DR.. Wilson into court to make him
answer for his libelous charges, We
should do So" declared Mr.. Robert
son. He asserted the Territory had
been done an immense amount of
damage by DR.. Wilson's statements.
They had hurt the courts, the
churches, the schools and every form
of activity in Alaska.
Rev. Cooper Speaks
Rev. George w. Cooper, who de-
clined to comment on Dr. Wilson S
charges when interviewed several
days ago by a reporter for The
Empire and who, in answer to a
question asked him at that time,
said Juneaus moral plane was lower
than the average community in the
States he had resided before COM

talk defining his position. This was
featured by a heated criticism of
The Empire as wet newspaper"
that had attacked the Methodist
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals and DR.. Wilson,
who is it's corresponding secretary,
on more than one occasion since
Rev. Cooper came to Juneau. He
said he wasn't going to flay DR..
Wilson in such wet" paper for
his statements, which, he told the
Chamber he thought were "out-
rageous."
In justifying his attitude, Rev.
Cooper said at the time he was
interviewed he thought possibly Dr..
Wilson might have information on
the subject he did not himself
possess He said further he had
not been in Alaska long enough to
have formed an opinion on condi-

For that reason he said he had de-

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEENU. S.
AND MEXICO AS TO LAND LAWS

Reply of the minister of foreign
relations of Mexico to the secretary
OF state delivered through the Mexi-
1926
Mr. Secretary:
1 have the honor to reply to your
excellency's note, dated the 2Sth of
January of the present year, which
begins with the following statements:
l. That the American government
notes with satisfaction that the pres
ident of Mexico purposes to frame the
regulations of the alien and land law
and the law relating to certain de-
posits of the subsoil, in such manner
that the application thereof will not
be retroactive in respect of rights
legally acquired under previous laws;
and 1T hopes that such regulations
will be in accord with the decisions
of the supreme court of Mexico, with
the agreements of 1928 and with the
principles of the law of nations
1. That the same government, from
the beginning, has called attention
to the vital distinction between the
future acquisitions of property and
acquisitions made under previous
laws; and
3. That every sovereign state has
the absolute right to make laws gov
erning the acquisitions of property
acquired in the future, right that
cannot be questioned by any other
state; therefore, if Mexico desires to
prevent the future acquisition by
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-27

aliens of property rights of any ma
ture within it's Jurisdiction, the
American government has no sug-
gestions whatever to make; but when
any foreign government seeks to di-
vest aliens of property rights which
have already been legally acquired,
on the American government, so far
as its citizens may be concerned,
rests the positive duty to make repre-
sentations and efforts to avoid such
action; therefore, it has been and is
now concerned only with property
rights in Mexico legally acquired by
American citizens under laws exist
ing at the time of the acquisition,
and has asked in the past and now
asks that the Mexican government
extend for the protection of these
rights the guarantees afforded by the
generally accepted principles of in
ternaifonal law and equity.
The foregoing declarations are sat
iaeactory to my government, because
they embody points of view which
are common to the governments of
Mexico and of the United States So
much the more, that it is recognized,
in the most explicit manner, the alb
solute right of Mexico to pass the
laws that she may deem convenient,
eigners were forbidden to acquire
property in the country; which has
not yet occurred, since only the COM
pliance with certain requirements in
cases determined by law is demanded;
