SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 18.?Un?
less American oil interests in Mexico,
representing millions of dollars, get
the unlimited support of the United
States government in their tight
against Article 27 of President Car
r.mza*s new Mexican constitution, or
settle their differences somehow soon,
the enormously valuable oil business
In the southern republic will pass to
the British.
While the Ainerjcan oil companies
arc squabbling with Carranza over his
arbitrary and confiscatory constitu?
tional article, British oil interests are
calmly grabbing the business.
It is with considerable interest that
those watching the Mexican-American
nil wsr from the inside are also watch?
ing the Aguiia Company?Mexican
Kugle Oil Company, formed of a com?
pilation of the Old Koyal Dutch Shell
;<nd the Pearson interests? obey all of
i arranza*s mandates and continue tc
operate and. furthermore, expand with
marvelous rapidity.
, Is Becoming Monopoly
Under .ts program of amicable obei?
sance, the ?guila Company is rapidlj
becoming the "Standard Oil" of Mex?
ico. Its exports are enormous and its
wholesale and retail business in Mex?
ico itself is already considerable. Draw
ing oil from the ground in the Tampic<
region, the Aguilu retines it in Mexicc
and ships it to all parts of the republic
Offices for wholesale and retail tradt
have been established in all the prin
cipal cities and many of the secondar;
places, and the oil patron may bu;
from the ?guila store anything fron
a gallon of "gas" for his automobile
oil for the crank case or oil for th*
sewing machine to crude or refine^
products in carload lots. A choice lin
of American manufactured oil cook
stoves are also found in these Britis
"John D." stores, which urge the Mex
ican public to use oil.
"They are beating John D. at hi
own game in Mexico." suggested a:
nil man in Mexico City with whom
discussed the oil situation recentlj
"While we Americans scrap with th
Mexican government because we ar
tired of paying graft and refuse t
pay the graft which will ?limin?t
Article 27, our British friends ai
calmly and suavely conforming to th?
article and getting the business. It
just another way to play the Mexica
game and I sup; .-se they know whei
thev stand. You've got to admii
them."
Article 27, American oil men wi
tell you. is the most pernicious piec
o? Mexican legislation ever contrive
to bleed the foreigner. Under th
protectorate of Porfirio Diaz, who b<
lieved in encouraging foreigners t
invest their money in Mexico and thu
develop the great natural resources c
the country. Americans prospected fo
oil many years ago and after much to
and expense ?i ruck it rich. Preciou
brown liquid gushed from the firs
well developed by what is now know
as th( Doh'.ny interests. Drawn t
the Mexican oil bonanza, other Amer
cans flocked to the scene. British an
Dutch interests came along, and withi
i few years tens of millions of dollai
had been invested in oil lands and o
development in the states of Tamaul
pas. Vera Cruz and San Luis Potos
a district whose natural "bridgehead
is Tampico.
How Rights Are Granted
An oil company either buys its lar
outright or leases it for the purpose <
drilling for oil. Until Carranza's a
tertior. was drawn to the Tampico o
fields during the European war ar
the valuable assistance they were gi'
ing1 to Allied navies and Allied wi
making generally, drilling and produ
ing of oil in the Tampico fields wei
normally onward. The fields were coi
trolled by the Allies and therefo:
were aiding the Allies.
There is no way to prove that Ge
man influence on Carranza aided
frame Article 27 of the Mexican Co
?titution, but the fact remains that
was.promulgated by the Carranza Co
stitutional Convention at Qucretaro,
become effective February ?, 1917, ai
'-ne Inited States declared war on Ge
??any, ranging herself with the Allies
?Jttlc more than two months late
"hether the warlike intention of Une
Sam was so apparently defined at t
??ginning of 1&17 that German i
?uences, seeing the handwriting on t
wall, worked on the Carranza conve
tion will nevei be definitely known.
Article 27 briefly gives the owne

Officials of the American oil com?
panies are firm in their declarations
that Article 27 must yield -they never
will. Since returning to the United
States 1 have learned that one of the
pioneer American companies has been
forced to buy oil from Oklahoma oil
fields to fill its contracts for Mexican
oil. The majority of this company's
'Mexican wells have already turned to
salt.
It is a battle royal between Carranza,
his constitution and the American oil
companies. In the mean time the oil
business in Mexico is rapidly assum?
ing a ruddy British complexion.
Evidence Found
That Carranza
Aided Germany
Fall Committee Will Hear
Witnesses Who Declare
Mexican Consul Tapped
U.S. Army Wire on Border
By Wilbur Forrest
(Copyright. 19-n. New Vori; Tribuno Inc.)
SAN' ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 18.- Sworn
testimony of a startling nature at?
tempting to connect tho Carranza gov?
ernment with acts contrary to the in?
terest of the United States during our
period of the World War may be intro?
duced before the Fall Senate Committee
soon, it was indicated here to-day. The
committee recessed over to-day. Sena?
tor Fall going to El Paso, but it was
announced that regular sessions would
begin again to-morrow, with Senator
Smith in the chair pending Senator
Fall's return. i
Evidence so far given in San An?
tonio has dealt mainly with a state of
lawless chaos existing in Mexico dur?
ing which millions of dollars' worth of
American property havo been destroyed
and hundreds of Americans have been
driven out, some utterly ruined and
many killed. This testimony has
painted the Carranza army in blackest
colors as well as the acts of organized
and unorganized bands of rebels and
bandits who have roamed Mexico virt?
ually unmolested for several years.
Testimony during the coming week wiil
indicate an organized animosity toward
the United States by the Carranza r??
gime, it is indicated, even though that
r?gime enjoyed and still enjoys the
official recognition of our government.
It was learned to-day that the com?
mittee has been cognizant of acts in
inmical to the interests of the United
States carried on by a Mexican consul
with the supposed sanction of his own
official government during 1917 and
1918, when America ,was straining
every ounce of energy toward backing]
up American troops in Europe.
Witnesses will testify, it is asserted,
that the Mexican consul at Presidio,
Tex., was instrumental in tapping the
American military wires in the Big
Bend country and relaying such in- :
formation as he obtained over Mexican j
government telegraph wires to Mexico
City. A fake message is said to have
been used by American military au?
thorities to prove the charge. The
Mexican wire was tapped and the fake
information was later heard going over j
the Mexico City wire.
The hand of the German military in- |
telligence service was suspected in this
wire tapping, as it was important for
the Germans to know how many troops
we were maintaining on the Mexican
border. The Carranza government was
avowedly pro-German at that time.
German agents were known to be circu
lating freely in Mexico.
It will be alleged that border raids
were organized by the Mexicans during !
this period for the purpose, it is^sup
posed, of obliging the United States to \
increase its guard there and thus de?
prive European battlefields of effec
tives.

Aged Veteran Hangs Himself
MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Jan. 18.
David A. McChesney, eighty years old,
a veteran of the Civil War and former?
ly of New York, committed suicide at
his home here by hanging. He was tha ;
father of John H. McChesney, of 242 j

Polish Nation
Absolved of
Slaying Jews
Continued from paje I
of a military automobile, the six
women in the crowd and about twenty
five men were separated from the mass,
and the remainder, thirty-five in num?
ber were shot with scant deliberation
and no trial whatever. Early the next
morning three wounded victims were
shot in cold blood as soon as life
revealed itself in them.
4. Lida, April 17. 1919
On April 17, 1919, the Polish military
forces captured Lida from th" Russian
Bolshevik). After the city fell into the
hands of the Poles the soldiers pro?
ceeded to enter and rob the homes of
the Jews. During this period of pill
age thirty-nine Jews were killed.
?. Wilno, April 19-21, 1919
On April 19 Polish detachments en?
tered the City of Wilno. The city was
definitely taken by the Poles after
? three days of street, lighting, during
| which time they lost thirty-three men
, killed. During the same period some
f sixty-five Jews lost their lives. From
I the evidence submittted it appears that
none of these people, among whom were
I four women and eight men over fifty
( years of age, had served with the Bo?
sheviki. Eight, Jews were marched
three kilometers to the outskirts of the
j City of Wilno and deliberately shot
I without the semblance of a trial or in
? Vestigation. Others were shot by sol
? diers who were robbing Jewish houses.
No list has been furnished the mission
of any Polish civilians killed during
the occupation. It is, however, stated
on behalf of the government that the
i civilian inhabitants of Wilno took part
? on both sides of the fighting, and that
| some civilians fired upon the soldiers.
J Over 2,000 Jewish houses and stores in
; the city were entered by Polish sol
? diers and civilians during these three
i days and the inhabitants robbed and
j beaten. It is claimed by the Jewish
: community that the consequent losses
amounted to over 10,000,000 rubles.
Old men and women were carried away
without trial or investigation. Two of
these prisoners have since died from
the treatment they received. Included
in this list were some of the most
prominent Jews of Wilno, such as the
prominent Jewish writers Jaffo and
Niger.
6. Kolbussowa, May 7, 1919
"For a few days before May 7, 1919,
the Jews of Kolbussowa feared that ex?
cesses might take place, as there had
been riots in the neighboring towns of
Rsoszow and Glasgow. These riots had
been the result of political agitation in
this district, and of excitement caused
by a case of alleged ritual murder in
whiqji the Jewish defendant had been
acquitted. On May 6 a company of
soldiers was ordered to Kolbussowa to
prevent the threatened trouble. Early
in the morning of May 7 a great num?
ber of peasants, aitiong whom were
many former soldiers of the Austrian
army, entered the town. The rioters
disarmed the soldiers after three peas?
ants had been killed. They then pro?
ceeded to rob the Jewish stores and to
beat any Jews who fell into their hands.
Eight Jews were killed during this ex?
cess.
7. Czestochowa. May 27, 1919.
"On May 27. 1919, at Czestochowa, a
shot fired by an unknown person
slightly wounded a Polish soldier. A
rumor spread that the shot had been
fired by the Jews and riots broke out
in the city in which Polish soldiers
and civilians took part. During these
riots five Jews, including a doctor who
was hurrying to aid one of the in?
jured, were beaten to death and a largo
number were wounded. French offi?
cers, who were stationed at Czesto?
chowa, took an active part in prevent?
ing further murders.
"On August 8, 1919, the Polish troops
took the city of Minsk from the Bol
sheviki. The Polish troops entered the
city at about 10 o'clock in the morn?
ing, and by 12 o'clock they had abso?
lute control. Notwithstanding the pres?
ence in Minsk of Ge/heral Jadwin and
other members of this mission, and^
the orders of the Polish command gen-'
eral, forbidding violence against civil?
ians, thirty-one Jews were killed by the
soldiers. Only one of the number can
in any way be connected with the Bol
sheviki movement. Eighteen of the
deaths appear to have been deliberate
murder. Two of these murders were
incident to robberies, but the rest were.
committed, to all appearances, solely
on the ground that the victims were
Jews. During the afternoon and in the
evening of August 8 the Polish sol?
diers, aided by civilians, plundered 377
shops, all of which belonged to the
Jews. It must be noted, however, that
about 90 per cent of the stores in
Minsk are owned by Jews. No effective
attempt was made to prevent these rob

beries until the next morning, when
adequate officers' patrols were sent out
through the streets and ord;r was
established. The private houses of
many of the Jew3 were also broken
into by soldiers and the inhabitants
were beaten and robbed.
7. There have also been here and
there individual cases of murder not
enumerated in the preceding para?
graphs, but their detailed description
i has not been cons'dered necessary, in
\ asmuch as they present no ? character?
istics not already observed in the prin?
cipal excesses. In considering these
excesses as a whole, it should be borne
in mind that, of the eight cities and
towns at which striking disorders have
occurred, only Kielce and Czestochowa
are within the boundaries of Congress
Poland.
"8. Just as the Jews would resent
being condemned as a .race for the ac?
tion of a few of their undesirable co?
religionists, so it would be correspond?
ingly unfair to condemn the Polish na?
tion as a. whole for the violence com?
mitted by uncontrolled troops or local
mobs. These excesses were apparently
not premeditated, for if they had b?en
part of a preconceived plan the num?
ber of killed would have run into tho
thousands instead of amounting to
about 280.
"9. Besides these, excesses there have
been reported to the mission numerous
cases of other forms of persecutions.
Thus, in almost, every one of the cities
and towns of Poland. Jews have been
stopped by the soldiers arid have had
their beards either torn out or cut off.
"10. Whereas it has been easy to de?
termine the excesses which took place
and to fix the approximate number of
deaths, it was more difficult, to estab?
lish the extent of anti-Jewish discrimi?
nation. This discrimination finds its
most conspicuous manifestation in the
form of an economic boycott. The
National Democratic party has contin?
uously agitated the economic strangling
of the Jews.
"11. Furthermore, the establishment
of cooperative stores is claimed by
many Jewish traders to be a form of
discrimination. It would seem, how?
ever, that this movement is a legiti?
mate effort to restrict the activities
and therefore the profits of the middle?
man.
"12. The government has denied that
discrimination against Jews has been
practiced as a governmental policy,
though it has not denied that there
may be individual cases where anti
Semitism has played a part. Assur?
ances have been made to the mission
by official authorities that in so far as
it lies within the power of the govern?
ment this discrimination will be cor?
rected.
"13. In considering the causes for the
anti-Semitic feeling which has brought
about the manifestations described
above it must be remembered that
ever since the partition of 1795 the
Poles have striven to be reunited as
a nation and to regain their freedom
This continual effort to keep alive theii
rational aspirations has caused them to
look with hatred upon anything which
might interfere with their aims. Thif
has led to a conflict with the national?
ist declarations of some of the Jewish
organizations which desire to estab?
lish cultural autonomy, financially sup?
ported by the states.
"14. The strained relations betweer
the Jews and the non-Jews have beer
further increased not only by the grea'
wnr, during which Poland was the bat
tie ground for the Russian, Gorman aiu
Austrian armies, but also by the pr?s
ent conflicts with the Bolsheviki ant
Ukrainians.
"15. The great majority of Jews ir
Poland belpng to separate Jewish po
litical parties. The largest of these i.rt
the Orthodox and Zionist and the Na
tional. Since the Jews form .-?eparati
political groups, it is probable tha
some of the Polish discriminatioi
against them is political rather thai
anti-Semitic in character.
"16. The relations between the Jew
and non-Jews will undoubtedly improv.
in a strong democratic Poland. Ti
hasten this, there should be reconcilia
tion and cooperation between the 8i
per cent Christians and 14 per ccn
Jews.
"17. It was impossible for the mis
sion, during the two months it was ii
Poland, to do more than acquaint it
self with the general condition of th
people. To formulate a solution of th
Jewish problem will necessitate, a care
ful and broad study, not only of th
economic condition of the Jews, bu
also of the exact requirements of Po
land.
"18. This comission should devise
plan by which the Jews in Poland ca
secure the same economic and socia
oppr rtunities as arc enjoyed by thci
coreligionists in other free countries.
"19. All citizens of Poland shoul
realize that they must live together.
They cannoi be divorced from each
oihcr by force or by any court of law.
When this idea is once thoroughly com?
prehended, every effort will necessarily
be directed toward a better understand?
ing and the amelioration of existing
conditions, rather than toward ac;
rnenting antipathy and discontent. The
Polish nation must see that its worst
enemies are those who encourage this
internal strife. A house divided against
itself cannot stand. There must be one
class of cit.izens in Poland, all members
of which enjoy equal rights and render
equal duties.
"Respectfully submitted,
"HENRY MORGENTHAU."

Social Democratic
League Gives Out
National Platform
Hopes to Unite All Voters
Except Wealthy and Put
Fifty Representatives in
Congress Next Fall
The Social Democratic Leagu# of
America, of which Charles Edward Rus?
sell is president, gave out a statemeni
yesterday placing under four heads the
principal features of a platform or
which it hopes to unite all voters ex?
cept the wealthy and their dependent!
and to elect more than fifty Represen
tatives to Congress. The four principa
points are :
1. Democracy in fact as well as ii
name. The abolition of the excessivi
power of the courts over legislation.
". Government ownership and con
trol where practicable and indispon
sable for the public -welfare. Labo
does not indorse government ownershi]
as a panacea for all industry; nor doe
it indorse any particular form of gov
ernment control. The two chief mean
of plutocratic domination are trans
portation and credit. Labor propose
merely that "control over credit shoul
be taken from financiers and vested i
a public agency," and that the railroad
be maintained under government ad
ministration for two years "in orde
that a thorough test may be made c
governmental operation under normt
conditions."
3. Profiteering and the high cost c
riving must be effectively dealt witl
Here again no irresponsible and df
ceiving politicians' promises of eas
remedies, such as Attorney Genen
Palmer continues to put forth from da
to day, but "a constructive metho
Pitiless publicity as a direct and trutl
ul means of revealing excess costs an
profits." And so of "prevention (
hoarding and unfair price fixing."
* 4. The unrestricted right of collec
"ive bargaining, which involves the in
restricted right of employees co
lectively to refuse to continue at woi
under terms they regard as unjui
This is the system of free labor. Cor
pulsory labor is literally and in tl
full sense of the word shivery. Wh<
the employer is the government, i
some industry, or grave public co
cern, the principle of collective ba
gaining permits it to use all legil
mate economic pressure to bring tl
employees to accept terms the gover
ment regards as just, but the employe
equally insist on their right to resi
this pressure as long as the terr
offered do not meet their conception
justice. "No man is good enough
govern another without the other's co
sent."
