Nobody seems to be ready with a complete program, but everybody seems of the opinion that something mast be done and done soon. In this age of the world civilization cannot afford to let a country like Mexico--one of tfce garden spots and natural storehouses of earth--continue out of • the line of march. It must Join the procession and must keep up with the procession. So it Is evident, aside from the question of thin killing of American and British citizens and other 'nationals--human life appears to be cheap these days--that financial matters and economic questions will force action by the United States and the allies against Mexico, the outlaw nation. It is no exaggeration to say that for months no other international problem, not connected with the proceedings at Paris, has been so fully discussed as the Mexican question, and apparently sentiment in thia>. country. and abroad is rapidly - crystallizing. The exdusloB Of Mexico trom the League of Nations was based on the ground that Mexico had been unable to give proof of intention to observe < international obligations.

Mexico shows Increasing Inability to afford Pffotaction to the lives and property of foreigners and nationals also. Mexico has given evidence of a studied and systematic attempt to put through schemes which would result in the confiscation of foreign property, the most glaring example of which Is the • ease of the oil companies, although the express Sad railway companies' interests are In almost as great danger. It Is no secret In Washington that renewed rep» reeen tat ions on the Mexican situation are being made to the -American governmeut by Great Britain and France. For ^several months these countries have been urging upon the United States the desirability of putting Mexico on its feet so that it might resume the payment on national and other debts and afford adequate protection to foreign lites and property. ,.^*1 British citizens are -holders of a considerable atnount of Mexican bonds, btftVfmtlonnl and railway, while the French have extensive Investments ilh the banks, which it has been charged were lootby the government under the guise of obtaining "loans." Nationals of both countries hold extensive Interests In oil properties. Many French cltisens of moderate means infected their savings la Mexican bonds, on which they have received an interest for six years. J- In short, the Mexican situation has apparency resolved Itself into this: The United Stutes will aoon be compelled to take Mexico in hand--unless European nations are to be suffered to Intervene there in spite of the Monroe doctrine. In official Washington the prediction is hazarded that the United States will intervene, acting lilt"' the mandatory for the League of Nations. In congress the Mexican situation has ceased'to he a partisan question. Senator King of Utah, a Paxnocrat and one of the administration's strongpft. Supporters, Introduced the other day a very stiff resolution directing the secretary of stute to report in full on Mexican conditions and what the department of state wis planning to do in the matter. The resolution was Imntediately considered and agreed to. In the house Kepresentative Gould of New York, ®epublicun, introduced a resolution providing for & Sweeping Investigation of Angeriean-Mqxlcnn relations and all phases of the Mexican problem' since 1610. The iavestigntion would be made by a committee of three senators and three repre- , sentatives, to be selected by the foreign affairs committees of the two houses. It was stated leaders of both the houses were consulted before the ^resolution was introduced, and that'^ they are favorable t« the inquiry. „ * * r-, • Mr. Gould gave figures showing that 300 Americans had been murdered between 1910, and 1916; figures for the three years following being uiiobtatnablf. ^ AH of wtych seepis to Radicate that^PfesldMM Yenustlano Carransa of Mexico is in bad with Uncle Sam and the allies.

The British government is demanding adequate protection for British . subjects and property in Mexico, including specifically the oil wells the British government recently has purchased from British corporations, and also Is demanding reparation for the destruction of British lives and property. The French government Is making similar demands and in addition insists that Carranza pay the Interest on the $30,000,000 Huertn lolln, which was floated in France but which has been repudiated by the present Mexican government. The $30,000,000 loan constitutes the difference between the amount of the Mexican external debt,4 as estimated by T. W.
