PETROLEUM INTERESTS
Mm A groat deal of the trouble that exists in Mexico la
ascribed by various writers to the petroleum interests,
and we are frequent told that all t^e disturbances would
noon subside were it not (or the clashing of rival inter
ests In the great oil fields' and the effort that is being
made by some of the companies to dominate the Marl
can government In their own interest
There can be no doubt that promoters of all kinds
hare sought to exploit the oil, mineral and other natural
resources of Mexico. Mexican politicians have enriched
^iBselves br peddling out concessions out of which the
government received very little and the politicians a
L*
ii good deal. The foreign promoters and the local politi
4 clans have worked together, and both have reaped rich
harvests.
But It is also a fact that what»«rer has been done in
Mexico in the way of actual development has been done
through the investment of foreign capital. Through for
eign investment the rich old fields were discovered. It
took a lot of drilling and experimenting to find out
where oil existed in paying quantities and where it did
not, and, the discoveries made, it took immense sums to
provide the equipment necessary for successful prodnc
tion. All of this meant the investment of foreign money,
j. and foreign money was invested in millions.
The foreigner who has invested his money in good
1 faith in Mexican enterprises is entitled to a square deal.
He should expect to pay whatever taxes are levied
against his property within reason, and should be will-
Ing to do his share toward providing for the expenses of
the government. No nation can object to these things
being required of its citizens. But if the man who has
invested his money. in good faith faces the confiscation
I of his property he had a well founded grievance, and one
.which the government of his own country should reoog-
The specific charge has been made against some of
the oil companies that they are fomenting revolution by
contributing funds to revolutionary organizations. In re
A'.Ply to this it is stated that in the districts concerning
'.which this complaint is made, the Carranza government
does not even attempt to exercise authority, and thai
revolutionary partis* are actually in charge, and able to
enforce such demands as they choose to make. They
have demanded tribute of the oil companies, with the
threat more or less directly made that if the tribute were
not forthcoming the oil properties would be destroyed.
Rather than suffer the destruction of their property the
oil men pay such sums as are demanded.
OUR OWN BUSINESS
We are often told that we of the United States
should attend to our own affairs and let Europe attend
to hens. .Just now Europe Is. buying more from us
than abe is selling to us, and'' the balance of trade in our
.favor rises to enormous proportions. According to the.
theory that we are not concerned with what goes on be
yend our own borders It makes no difference to us
•whether the trade conditions which, new prevail are good
for Europe er not "We are selling the goods, and we may
let the other fellow look out for himself.
It happens, however, that beeause of fixed principles
which none of us can change, trade cannot long remain
one-sided. Europe cannot continue to buy unless she
sells. And if the process of buying on credit continues
long without indication* of purpose taxability to make
salable things and sell them, grave questions will arise
as to the-ability of Europe to pay for what she has al
ready bought
Questions of this kind have_ arisen already, and the
fact that they are being asked i8 reflected in the world's
exchange. Foreign money is depreciated. With the credit
of all the leading nations on a sound and recognised ba
sis, and with trade proceeding normally, the money of
one country is exchanged for that of another on a basis
approximating its metal value. The pound,' franc, lire
and other money units are worth a definite number of
dollars or cents of American money, and that relative
value fluctuates but sUghtly. But lust now the value of
European money in American dollars is away below the
normal, and is steadily shrinking. A part of this depre
ciation is due to the fact that under present conditions
the credits are ail 'moving one way. Another part is the
reflection of doubts as to the solvency' of some of our
customers.
there is an early change Europp must eeass
buying from us beeaase she will have no money with
which to make payment, and beeause we cannot safely
extend credit to her any longer. That will be bad for
Europe. But it will not be good for us. We need Europe
in our business. We need there a market for billions of
dollars' worth of our goods, the products of every Indus
try that we have. And we not ouly need Europe in our
business, bat, we need a busy and prosperous Europe. We
need of Europe that her fields shall again be made to
produce to their utmost, that her factories shall be run
0P*o®» that there shah be turned out by her peo
thousands of things that ws need, and that
Europs ean produce to better advantage that we can.

THE EXACT LANGVAGE
The best source of information as to what the con
stituent of the &aa§ue of Nations contains is the con
stitution of the League of Nations contains is the con
ed. and has thus been made available to all who wished
to Inspect it Concerning what the United States may or
may not be required to do in certain oases, reference may
be made to the provisions of the constitution which apply.
Where quotations are made the exact language of the re
vised constitution is followed.
Article 2 provides^.hat t&e action of the League shall
be effected through the instrumentality of two bodies, .the
assembly and the council. In the next two articles it is
provided that the assembly shall consist of representa
tives of all member nations, each nation having one vote,
and. that the council shall consist of representatives of
nine powers, namely, the United States, Great Britain^
France, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Brazil, Spain and Greece,
each nation having one vote.
Article 5 provides that except where otherwise ex
pressly provided, all action in either body shall be by un
animous vote. Express provisions for a majority vote are
made as indicated with reference to a number of routine
matters of procedure, etc.. but the. unanimous vote rule
applies to all important decisions.
Article 10 reads:
The members of the League undertake to res
pect and preserve AS AGAINST EXTERNAL AG
GRESSION the territorial integrity and existing pol
itleaJ independence of all members of the League.
In caae of ANT SUCH AGGRESSION, or in case of
any threat or danger of SUCH AGGRESSION the
council shall advise upon the means by wMch this
obligation shall be fulfilled.
It has been said that the league constitution in this
article plaees the world in a straight-jacket: that it guar
antees to each of the dominant powers permanent pos
session of the territory which it has occupied and per
manent control of the peoples whom it has subjected and
that in signing the treaty the United States will place Its
armed forces unreservedly at the disposal of any nation
which chooses to demand this service for the suppression
of revolution among its own people. What are the facts?
Suppose the people of Alsace, of Ireland, of Sicily, or
of India begin an insurrection, with the avowed purpose
of separating themselves from the nation of which they
are a part and setting up an independent government of
their own. What would be the duty of the United States
la such a case Simply to mind "her own business. She
would hav$ agreed to respect and preserve "as
against external aggression," and there would be no ex
ternal aggression in a case of that kind.
But suppose that Bulgaria, after accepting the terms
of peace, should violate the new Serb-Croat state. Then
a different situation would exist. There would be a case
of external aggression which would come.properly before
the council. It will be observed that the council is re
quired to "advise" upon the mesons which shall be taken.
The council has no authority to command. It is expected
to consider and recommend. It may decide that a re
monstrance will suffice that an economic boycott of Bul
garia would be desirable or that the situation calls for
armed interference. But whatever Its conclusions are, the
United States, being a member of the council, must con
sur in them before they can even be registered and for
warded to the nations particularly interested.
Is it thinkable that the. man selected by the United
States. government to represent it on the council "would
agree to a recommendation placing unjust and unreas
abia burdens on his own country? It is obvious that under
the provisions of the constitution."as set forth in its exact
language, no decision not in accord with right and reas-,
on could be expected.
THOSE TOWNLEY SPEECHES
Mr. Letnk* takes issue with Judge Dean concerning
the admission of Townley^s speeches during the trial at
Jackson, Minnesota, and in doing so he confirms statements
which have already been made as to some of the reas
ons why Mr. Townley insisted, on addressing the jury after
the testimony was all in, rather than to appear on the
stand as a winess. &-v
Mr. Lemke says that Townley speeches which were
admitted in evidence were submitted. by the prosecution,
that the defense was denied the privilege of introducing
other speeches, and that it was for this reason that Town.
'•ey desired to speak to the jury.
In his statement at the time of sentencing Townley,
Judge Dean made it very plain under what rules certain
speeches were admitted and others were rejected. Town
lar wss on trial for the commission of crime. The prose
cution held that a part of the evidence of this crime was
contained in certain speeches which Townley had made,
and in support of this contention it submitted the text of
those speeches entire and unchanged, so that the jury
could determine whether or not those particular address
es were seditious. The defense sought to introduce in
evidence a number of other speeches which it was main
tained were not seditious. This was objected to by the
stfte on the ground that the introduction of speeches
which were not seditious could not be held to off-set those
which were, and the court sustained this objoction. The
rating seems to be perfectly fair and reasonable and it is
unquestionably In line with court proceedure, and the
rules'of evidence. A man who is charged with the conv?
mission of a murder at a particular-time and place is not'
permitted to off-set direct testimony in support of the
charge by
fringing in witnesses to swear that at other
times and^laces he not only did not commit murder but
actually performed highly meritorious acts, yet that is
the basis on which the demand was made for the intro
duction of Townley's speeches. Their admission was de
nied. Townley knew that he could not 'introduce
in testimony himself, and moreover that he could not ap
pear on the stand at all without being suhjectad to a cross
examination which might be highly inconvenient for him,
therefore ho remained off- the witnesp stand demand*
ed that he be permitted to occupy'the speakers stand
where he eould have everything his own way-

Salt Lake City, TJtah,- Sept, 24."Re
plying directly to senate' proposals to
write reservations into ratification of
the peace treaty. President Wilson de
clared in an address at Mormon tab
ernacle here last night that the "pro
posal would cut, the heart" out of the
League of Nations.
Before a great crowd which re-'
peatedly chcered his utterances, Mr.
Wilson read a proposed reservation
under which the United States "would
assume no responsibility" to protect
the integrity of foreign governments
under article ten. Such a reserva
tion, hp. asserted, would relieve the
United States of a part of its just re»
spousibility.
"Does the United States want to be
in on that special footing?" asked the
president, and there was a great shout
of "no" from the crowd.
Answering objections that under,
article ten the United States might be
called on to settle Balkan controver
sies, the president said:
"If you want to put out a Are in
Utah, you don't go to Oklahoma for
the fire engine, and if you want to put
out a flm in the Balkans, you don't
send to the United States for troops."
Would Use Available Forces.
The' choise would be made, he sai4
"from the most suitable and /most
available" forces, and the decision
would .Ke nrjade with the consent of all
the nations concerned.
Should" the controversy .spread eo
that the aid of the United States
would be necessary, he said, then it
would be so serious a situation that
this nation would get in anyway,
league or no league.
To adopt such a reservation, con:
tinued Mr. Wilson, was Hot to inter
pret the covenant, but would consti
tute an "absolute withdrawal" from
the responsibilities of article ten and
consequently, a rejection of the treaty.
Sbonld Accept Z/eadersbip.
Instead of wanting to get what it
could without assuming any. responsi
bility, it was the nation's duty,, he
Said, to accept the leadership which
the world now offered. That could be
done, he continued, without, in any
way inpalrlng national sovereignty,
because ho great decision could be
taken without the vote of the United
States.
The president was cheered again
when he said that the "only serious
forces" back of the movement to re
ject or change the treaty "proceed
from exactly the same sources as the
pro German propaganda proceed
from." He added that he had 'no
notion of reflecting upon- the public
men who were.. adding the: opposition,
but he declared tbey were oleasing
Germany
:by
Kl
their attitude.: Through
certain channels open to,,the govern
ment, he said, he knew Germany was,
"praying", that the: tfnit^i! States

Sot' a Treaty of Spoils.
Every previous treaty, atld the
president, had been division of
spoils, while the present document
was "an absolute renunciation. of
spoils." Everywhere throughout the
world, he- asserted, settlem^nts'had
heen made on the theory that the
people themselves should determine

Article 10 of Covenant
Peoria, Sept. 34.—That artiete 10 of
the League of Nations covenant was
not originated at the Paris peace con
ference was'aaserted by former Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis, speaking
last night under the auspices of the
American Legion of European War
Veterans in reply to statenients by
Senators Borah and Johnson at Chi
cago and in the middle west.
Thb expression providing for the
revention of "external aggression,"
Lewis, declared was written by
Woodrow Wilson years before the
European peace meeting to flt the
needs of the South American states to
carry out the general Monroe doct
rine and "particularly to prevent ths
invasions of certain Urge countries in
South AmericS. over certain smaller
ones which were then under threat of
external aggression.".
"Later" he said, "the president re
ferred to this very spirit of clause
ten in his speech at Mobile, Ala., in
1915, long before America was- in the
war. I embodied part of the theme
in my address at New Orleans to the
re-v
Mr.
of the people want the League of Na
tions adopted"
The president said that one by one
the objections to the league had melt
ed away until the/issue had been re
solved into a square cut questipn of
taking the treaty or leaving it.
13,000 Hear Him.
The crowd was estimated by police
at 12,000. Every seat was occupied
and all the available standing room
taken, while outside the tabernacle
there was another great crowd block,
ing the entrances and the surrounding
streets.
President Heber J. Grant of the
Mormon church, opened the meeting
with an invocation in which he pray
ed for strength for the nation's chief
executive in his responsibilities. Gov
ernor Simon Bamberger introduced
the president.
Eighty Per Cent Want League.
Ogden: Utah. Sept. 24.—Homeward
bound after nearly three weeks of
speech making, President Wilson told
a crowd here yesterday that he had
found eighty per cent of the, people
in favor of the League of liations.
The chief opposition. He added, came
from a "very disquieting element,"
which included the influences which
tended .toward disloyalty during the
war.
The declaration was made from the
rear platform of the president's pri
vate car. where a croprd gathered and
clamored for a speech after the presi
dential party had returned from a
brief automobijo ride through the
city. Only a short stop was made
hero before Mr. Wilson went on to
Salt Lake City for a night meeting at
the Mormon Tabernacle. ..

Says Former Senator Lewis

having consulted with the president
that, lie might authorize my quotation
of him."
The phraseology "as is now seen"
Mr. Lewis said was not addressed at
its origin to the Irish situation or to
any country in Europe, but was ap
plied in Europe as fitting the new sit
uations. He asserted it was "pract
ically an adoption" of that previously
used as to South and1 Central Amer
ican protection a.nd "emploved in the
proposition of James G. Blain, when
secretary of state under President
Harrison, under .the title of "PanAm
ericenism."
"The only addition to the clause
as then prepared was thai-suggested
in Paxis by General Smuts of South
America," Mr. Lew'is added, "ex
pressed in the phase 'political, inde
pendence."
This suggestion of General Smuts
was to execute the theme he had of
the political independence ef .the,
South African.states In line with what
he publicity wrote should be the free
dom of Ireland.
