pressed by Representative Clifford
when he said, II am sure that when
the spell and allurement of the
thought that there is chance of their
getting much for little or nothing has
been broken, they will be guided by
the hard common sense of our Pilgrim
ancestors rather than by appeals to
the emotions"
+ In the meantime, the Townsend
"wildfire" is spreading. 1t is because
so many millions of the people have
fallen so hard for this fervor-worked
up by well-paid promoters-that the
House has decided to take a hand in
exposing the matter. Representative
Bell, named as chairman of the In
vestigating Committee by the Speaker,
intends to start the work at once and
says his committee will probably drop
everything else to devote itself whole
heartedly to this most important duty
Representative Ferguson, one of the
most outspoken against the Townsend
plan, emphasizes that one of the worst
features is the use of alleged congress
sional support as pressure to excite the
| organization of more end more Town
send clubs-to organize in every con-
gressional district, to bring pressure
with the promise that when the full
quota is reached the 5000 a month
Townsend plan will be carried out
And yet the greatest vote they have
been able to muster in the House was
56 out of 435 members, yet they claim
As out of so members pledged to the
plan. Thus swings the vicious circle,
claiming support in Congress to get
more clubs and then using the clubs
in an effort to coerce members.
Many members of the House have
in speeches on the floor and in radio
broadcasts explained how the Town.
sendites work to achieve the Miracle
of the Dime" The Townsend Clubs
claim some 100000 to 10000, 600
members, each supposed to pay dime"
| dues-and they sell badges, stationery,
petitions, pamphlets. medallions of DR..
Townsend, hymn books. subscriptions
to the Townsend Weekly-and they
get some septuagenarian to pass the
hat. Disclosures along this line have
been made by Representatives Fergu-
son, Blanton. Bell, Clifford. Mrs.
Rogers, Duncan, Engel, Wolcott, Will
cox, Maverick, Buck. Gassaway and
others. The schedule is: twenty-five
cents to join the Townsend Club, 10
cents per month to the clubs quota,
81 per month to belong to the Town

is meeting the clubs quota"
Americans Spurn Rackets.
Representative Ferguson recently
said: I'VE spend millions Of dollars
yearly to combat rackets. The Amer
lean people do not like rackets. Amer
ican citizens should all do their part
to stop the bleeding of dimes from the
people who have become the target
Of the Townsend Club organizers.
The resolution which started the
congressional investigation sets forth
that several groups of fraudulent pro-
moters are enriching themselves by
working the so-called pension racket;
these schemes and promoters are COL
lecting from the old people of this
country vast sums running into count

schemes, including the Townsend

LATIN AMERICAN POLICY
FORSAKES FORCE ALONE
Critics of Good Neighbor Relations An
swered by Undersecretary on Alleged
Withdrawal of Citizen Protection.

Some years ago, for example, wh1n
paternalism was still the official atti-
tude of the United States toward Latin
America, the solicitor for the State
Department prepared Memorandum
on the Right to Protect Citizens in
Foreign Countries by Landing Forces
in which a brilliant exposition Of the
right of protection is offered. with quo
tations from a distinguished array of
authorities from many countries. But
one needs only to glance through that
erudite defense Of the right of protec-
tion and compare 1t with an historical
account of the acts committed by for
mer officials of the United States in
various Latin American republics, in
the name of protection, to realize that
the problem, so far as inter-American
relations are concerned, lies not in the
lawfulness, but in the extent Of pro-
lection.
Protection of nationals abroad Is a
privilege accepted by international law,
provided certain limitations are re-
spected and certain prescribed meth
ods-legal and juridical, instead OF
political and military-followed. The
kind of protection involved in the re-
lations of the United States with some
of the smaller Latin American repub-
lies up to very recent times has been,
clearly, an abuse of that privilege
In the memorandum mentioned the
solicitor for the State Department con-
cluded, from his careful study of the
matter, that the right kind of protection
need not have any reference to the
internal politics of the invaded country
in the matter of either supporting or
changing the particular form of gov
ernment.' as if it were possible to keep
foreign invasion from influencing in
ternal politics. 1t is only now, when its
second highest officer formally expresses
the opposition of the State Depart
ment to any interference with the
freedom. the sovereignty or the in
ternal affairs of the governments of
other nations" that the truly right
kind of protection is being recognized
at Washington.
Authority Defines It.
As for the wrong kind, that identi-
fled with Intervention. it has been
described by one of the foremost
authorities on international law as that
in which the protecting state, imposing
its will on state weaker and incapable
of escaping through fear of the con-
sequences of its resistance. "is a bur-
den upon the sovereignty of that
country. suppresses its laws, acts con-
trary to its institutions, NEEDLES in the
administration of its justice, orders
the measures which it Is to take, sup
presses measures taken. substitutes, in
word. its will for the effaced will of
the government of that state" and
attempts by invasion. by military oc-
cupation, to impose upon the will of
country, to interfere in its internal
affairs, to direct its conduct in de-
termined ways"
1t is, obviously. this kind of protec-
ton. this abuse of the right of pro-
lection, that the Roosevelt-Hull
administration has renounced. not the
legitimate right of the United States
to protect its citizens abroad within
the accepted cannons of international
law.

standard, they are just part of the
floating mass Of currency.
In the course of the three years
since March, 1898, the Government
has added some $4,000, 900 900 to the
public debt, already considerably in
creased from the low point of 1880
by the preceding administration. This
debt has the net effect Of increasing
the deposits of our 10000 private
banks, thereby increasing the possible
tiles Of credit imitation.
Furthermore, the Government con-
tinues to spend at a rate roughly
twice as great as its revenues, with q
deficit steadily running at something
over $4,000, 100000 a year. There ap-
pears to be some prospect of q marked
reduction in the awful squandering of
money on utterly useless w. p. A.
projects, because of unemployment
and the exhaustion of funds. But a
soldiers bonus has been passed and
not paid for, and there have been
great sums involved in the outlawing

Government are chaotic, and all any
one knows is that the deficits will con-
tinue.

horses, which certainly could not be
very fresh after rigorous train trip
and the sudden change of climate,
caught the same infectious spirit of
what the heck, it's all sport, so
| let 'er roll"
In appearance, the larger Mexican
horses resemble our half or three
quarter bred jumping types, and they
say the thoroughbred stock doubtless
has been crossed with the native
original, as there was considerable
racing in Northern Mexico some years
ago, and naturally breeders made use
of the available stations. There is
one horse from this country in the
lot, huge chestnut well over 1853
hands and named Vencedor. Capt.
Villareal says the fellow probably will
not be used by the team.
We asked to see the four best horses
and they were pointed out as Azteca,
9-year-old brown gelding with a
powerful shoulder and good body;
Donaji, the breediest in appearance,
but only six years Of age, and Quet-
zalcoatl and Licor. neither Of which
seemed to be quite 16 hands. One
Of the troop Is a stallion, but like
most entries put into the jumping
game, he goes well only when he
feels in the humor, and Is fairly
sloppy at other times.
T IEUT. HENRI LUEBBERMANN,
the Fort Myer officer detailed to
supervise schooling arrangements, sta
bic care, etc, for the squad, suggested
yesterday that these horses would be
the lineal descendants of the ones Cor
tez brought into Mexico with him
in 1920. The Spanish conquistador
had 10 stations and mares with
him when he reached that country,
and one Of the mares foaled either
shortly before or shortly after ar
rival. That was the foundation stock
Of the Western horse, according to
my informant, and several Of these
do distinctly resemble the close-cou-
pied, cat-like COW pony familiar to
every one who has ever visited Yellow
stone or warbled yippees on q dude
ranch.
The important factor Is, however,
that whatever blood inspires it, the
visitors horses ostensibly have an
endless supply of willingness, their
riders display the same quality to
point bordering on the suicidal,
and II both retain that spirit through
out the Inter-American, they will
leave carrying with them q vast
amount Of public good will.
Their first outing, incidentally,
probably will be the Middleburg horse
show set for tomorrow and Thursday,
provided transportation problems can
be solved satisfactorily. hereby
call upon them to ride like Cossacks
and with positively no regard for
their necks on that date, to save me
from looking like . cock-eyed liar
or an overheated publicity agent.
