j. S. URGED TO GIVE.
MEXICO A Chance
Leader of American Group
Says Nation Is Entitled to
Try Out Its Program.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, January 11.-Mex-
leo should be given chance to work
out her own program without inter
ference, in the opinion of Hubert G.
Herring, leader of a group Of 40 Amer
leans who have been studying cond1-
tons in Mexico.
Before leaving for New York last
night Mr.. Herring said:
1.-THE Mexican government has a
program. 1t is idle to attempt any
appraisal of the land, oil or church
situation without first attempting to
understand the entire program. l be-
lieve that Mexico should be given q
chance to work out her program in
her own way and without interfer-
ence.
Mexico should make an appeal to
the United States chivalry. Mexico
is weaker than US, with the accrued
liabilities of 400 years of tyranny.
Mexico at present is balancing her
budget, building schools, roads and
irrigation work, restoring the alienat-
ed rights of Indians, to right the
wrongs of centuries. Who are
we to deny her the right?
Herein lies the peril of constant
pressure and reiterated insistence
upon legal rights--all this gives COM
fort to those who would plunge Mex
leo into bloody rebellion and encour-
ages those who would undo all the
accomplishments of the Mexican rev.
OlutiOn.
For the first time in 40 years
there is hope in Mexico. We cannot
understand Mexico without going back
to our own revolutionary days, when
men fought with a courage which
would not be denied and with hope
which saw beyond disorder and tyr
amy to democracy and peace"
The 40 Americans whom Mr.. Her
ring leads came to Mexico to get first
hand information on MeXican-Ameri-
can relations. They are writer's, min
listers of various religious. profession
al and business men and social work
ers. They spent 10 days travelling
through various districts, including
Mexico City.

KELLOGG AND OTHERS IN CABINET
SLATED TO RETAIN THEIR POSTS
Attacks on State Secretary Particularly
Said to Make No Change in Presi-
dents Good Opinion.

New POSTMASTER General).-The
situation meets his requirements ana
his requirements meet the situation.
Jardine (Secretary of Agricultural
His position is a little difficult. He is
not having so much TO say about
agriculture as a man in his post ought
to have. He marches along, as he
was expected to do. He wants to
stay, and will.
Davis Secretary of War).-No man
is more in love with his job, or better
loved in it. The Secretary of War Is
q fixture.
Davis Secretary of Labor).-Ahy
reason which might have obtained 9
little while back for his resignation
has been dissipated. He is now on
firm ground and pleasantly placed.
He gets along well with labor.
Wilbur Secretary, of Navy).-Who
would hint to an elephant? Still, all
he needs is tact.
Sargent attorney General)-He is
the father of a great accomplishment;
he has taken the Department of JUS
tice from the scandal columns of the
press. That makes him worth his
weight in gold.
Mellon Highly Rated.
MtllOH tceCIetdIy VI IIedSuI "
Reports do persist, but those who
have talked with him recently know
how he delights in his post. No
greater man ever sat in his chair,
which he has made too ubig for any
successor. One can hardly picture
the administration without him.
Work Secretary of Interior)--He
would gladly renounce his cabinet
post to become chairman of the Re
publican national committee, but such
transfer is altogether unlikely. A
man with ambitions, high ambitions
which are not realizable.
Executive changes which are the
subject Of mid-session gossip are not
confined to the cabinet. One of the
most persistent stories concerns Gen.
Leonard Woods plans. In the not
wholly unexpected event Of his retire
ment as governor general of the Phil
ippines, Senator James w. Wads-
worth of New York, whose Senate
term Is about to end. is widely men,
toned as his most likely successor.
