Author Says Wilson's Plea for Re
. versal of Canal Policy Was Made
- Only After Great Britain Objected
i s (Y%7 i Ly o ’
to His ‘Watchful Waiting’ Attitude.
: By GEORGE H. BALL, LL. B.
{Author and writer on eurrent affairs of international import.)
Just before I left London a month ago a member of the House
of Commons said to me, *‘Don’t forget fo tell the Americans how
much we appreciate President Wilson s message to Congress con
cerning the Canal tolls.”” He also added, significantly, ** Don’t say
the same about his Mexican poliey.”’
* These two sentences have frequently recurred to my mind
since my arrival here, and in mentioning the two questions to
gether, I do not think he could have better summed up the situ
ation. What follows in this article will show how far there is a
econnection between the two policies.
{ It is not my intention here tq
late what has come to 'my knowl
iz on the part of the Washing
in Adminstration. |
iTo make the position clear, |
will briefly recall one or two
leading incidents since the Bal
timore Convention of 1912, On
that occasion, President Wilson
afnd Mr. Bryan, among others, sub
saribed to a program in which the
guestion of ‘‘free tolls” occupied 2
prominent place.
: People indorse Plank.
At the succeeding elections their
policy was indorsed by a large ma
jority. At the time | fully believe

ir pledge, and only comparatively
revent events have led them fo break
the promise given to their supporters,

enced them in their attitade? "
After President Wilson's advent to
office he was faced with the Mexican
crisis. Following the murder of Ma
0, he refused to recognize Huerta,
ering in thie respect from Kngland
and other countries. i might add that
Sir Edward Grey, the British Poreizn
Seécretary, now greatly regrets his
hasty decision in thig matter,
3 Much Anxiety in Britain,
The civil war which ensued in Mex
ico created intense anxiety in Kng
ln:g;‘ chiefly on account of the large
" nt of British capital invested in
:: country. The Intm?>l\ntnmarn
e a powerful body of meh, and thoy
brought pressure to bear upon the
Government to Tequest America 10
adopt more energeli¢ measures in
eguarding life and property in the
urbed regions.
he murder of English and Ameri
can subjects in the northern prov
inces gave Sir Edward Grey his op
mglty. and representations were
ingly made to Washington. |
Sut thir request was not at all
welcome to President, Wilson, and did
olncide with his golicy of “watch
-1 waiting.” The financiers, how
evier, ;were persistent in their efforis
1 ve their properttes protected, and
they received the ir{nm&nml' backing
of Great Britain's repredentative in
M‘hlm Sir Lionel Carden, who had
himself acquired landed Interests in
the country. Sir Lionel Carden, by
the way, was chiefly responsible for
England's recognition of Huerta, and
he has all along done his utmost to
fnduce the United States to follow the
same course.
J& should not be forgotten that dur
ing'the whole of this time the British
Government was using it& utmost en.
deavors to obtain the repeal of "free
tolls” in connection with the canal,
and it was in this direction that a
way out of the difficulty was found \
The shipping of Great Britaln pass
ing through the canal shoild have
equal treatment with that of the
United States. On the gther -hand,

gituation, .
The English Decision.
This decision meant that, although
the Engtish capitalists would be the
logers in the northern and central
prowinces during the continuation of
the war, they would gain considerably
through the maintenance of high
rates on the railways running be
tween the Atlantic and the Paclfic
Oceans.
Lord Cowdray, an English peer with
extensive interests in Mexico, has con
trol of the Tehauantepec Rallway, and
aleo an Interest in the land holdings
of Sir Lionel Carden in the same dis
trict. This was the understanding
arrived at between the two countties
chiefly concerned
I*am not, of course, at liberty to
divulge the sources of my informa
tion, but van go =o far as to say that
lm_\g knowledge has come from a Brit
idh anember of Parlinment deeply in
ter, 'tt'g in the question, and also from
lhofi"n elgn Office itself.
- The Facts Prove the Case.
If, however, we glance at what has
gince transpired, it should in itself
be sufliclent to convince anybody that
the facts are as 1 have stated them,
On February 4 President Wilson ré
moved the embargo on armg import
ed into Mexico, in the hope probably
of assisting Carranzi in his campalgn,
and thereby forcing the resignation of
Huerta. On the following day fhe
also announced his policy of repeal,
On February 20 came the news thit
Benton, a British o.«uh)efll. had been
murdered by General Villa, This out
rage cansed such a great outburst of
Indignation throughout England that,
despite the Mounroe Doetrine, some
action would have been taken against
Mexico by Great Britain had it unot
heen for the repeal announcement
previously made by the President,
Of this there ig no doubt, but, as it
was, all steps toward reparation were
left to Washington. In days gone by
Englandshas on more than one occa
sion spent huge sums of money in ex
acting retribution for outrages on her
subjects,
_On February 23 Mr. Francis Acland,
the Foreign Under Secretary, sald in
the House of Commons that “contin
urd fighting in Mexico was of very
greéat prejudice to British and other
co‘nmeroinl interests, and was & mat
tef of Very great concern, :
“The most interesting papers at the
British Foreign Office are communis=
cations made at various times with
the Government of the United States
concerning its poliey and its views re.
garding Mexico. Some of these are of
a confidentinl nature, and 1 can not
publish them in a bluebook without
the consent of the United States
Government.”
If, as is hinted in the foregoing, the
British Government have no objection
to the publication of the dm‘umen‘v.
why can not America allow them to
see the light of day in order to show
the peoples.of both countries exactly
what ogreements have been made?
Carden Sees Wilson. :
On March 8 Sir Lione! Carden, who
wag on his way to London to see Sir
Kdward Grey, had an interview in
Washington with President Wilson,
and on the same day the President
decided to send a special message to
Congress in connection with the re
peal. He did not wish to leave anv
thing to chance and as, evidentiy, he
was doubtful whether the influence of
his supporters was sufficient to carry
the measure, he sent a personak ap
peal to Congress.
This appeal, universally applauded
in England, was read on March 5
and | wish to call particular atten
tion to its concluding sentences.
These were as follows: “1 asK this
of vou in support of the foreign policy
of the Administration. 1 shall not
know how to deal with other matters
of even greater conssquence if you do
not grant it to me in ungrudging
measure.”
If the President has nothing to hide,
why can't he take the people into his
confidence in asking them to make
stuch a great sacritice? It is for them
to =ay whether they have a right to
know what his difficulties are, where
he is leading them to, and what obli
gationis he is imposing upon them,
Conclusion Is Inevitable.
Can anvbody* with any meladge
of international politics for a moment
suggest that the “other matters” con
cerned any other country than Mex
tco”? The bare thought could not for
L moment be sustalned :
One further word in conclusion. 1
might be asked why 1 have made
these revelations. 1f so, my reply is
hecause 1 do not think Great Britain
should expect America to prejudice
her own undoubted rights in the ca
na! by repealing the preference to
her coastwise ships which she has
every reason to bestow, As an Eng
lishman | realize the great advantage
that would result to my Conptry as a
pesult of repeal. but, s 1 do not think
she is entitled go such a constderation,
I think it maore *honorable and even
patriotic—in the true sense of ths
words-to prociaim the fact

HELPED TO SAVE
Boat Comes to Port Finally and
Passenger Demands Salvage
for Aiding Her.
‘NEW ORLEANS, April 25.—Wait
ing thirteen years for the British
steamship Hostilius to dock in the
port of New Orleans, that he might
libe] it for salvage he claims is due
hitn, Gilbert 1. Sheen, of the Dennis
Shecen Trarsfer Company, was re
warded when the boat quietly slipped
into the docks here. Sheen imme
diately filed a libel in the United
States District (ourt, praying the
court to seize the ship and reward
him for whatever salvage it thinks is
due him,
The gtory of Sheen's relations with
the boat is:
Goes for Aid.
On October 2, 1900, Sheen shipped
as a passenger on the Hostilius from
East London, South Africa, to New
Orleang. When the hoat was out in
the Atlantic Ocean, 600 miles from
any shore, the propeller shaft broke
and the vessel lay at the mercy of the
sea. The captain called for volun
teers to go to the nearest land for
heip.
The chief officer, two seamen and
Sheen volunteered. They got into a
small rowboat and for eight days and
seven nights endured the hardships of
# 600-mile ride in an open hoat, They
tinally reached land, which happened
to be the shore of the Island of Bar
bados. A British warship was lying
off the island and it went out and
towed the Hostilius into shore.
Ship Worth $300,000.
The Hostilius was forced to tie up
at the Barbados to undergo repairs
and Sheen came on to New Orleans
on another boat. When he arrived in
New Orleans he wrote to the owner
of the ship and demanded the salvage
that ig usually paid for such an ac
tion. He received no satisfaction, and
he then sent them a letter de
claring that he would wait “if it was
until the end of his life” until the
boat again came to New Orleans, and
he would see that he got his salvage.

CHEAP RADIUM
Huge Vats Are Installed in Den
ver and Reduction Process
Is Tried Secretly.
DENVER, April 25.—“ Uncle Sam
will be making his own radium with
in a week,” is the promise of experts
from the United States Bureau of
Mines in charge of the new radium
laboratory for the treatment of car
notite and pitchblende.
Government guards have been sta
tioned in the building day and night.
The radium building has been undar
construction since last January. It is
an unpretentious one-story structurs,
sheathed with corrugated iron. Many
huge vats are installed in the build
ing. These were filled wtih carnotite
ores several weeks ago.
It is claimed that, when the practi
cablility of the fnew process has been
demopstrated to the satisfaction of
those in charge of the work, the gen
eral method will be made public,
The new process required the
building of a separate laboratory,
equipped with heavy machinery, vais
and devices which could not be in
stalled in an office building. This lab
oratory is the only building of its
kind in the world.
# has ‘been necessary for the Gov
ernment to construct its own labora
tory for the reason that Congression
al restrictions are about to be put on
the mining of radio-active ores.
Colorado has the only pitchblende
deposits of any magnitude in this
country.

It's Easy to Peel Off *
All Your Freckles
The contrast between the freckles and
the clear skin usually I 8 so great that
no bleach can be more than partially
successful in nh]lteratlnf the disfigure
ments. Ordinary mercollzed wax is far
better; it literally peels off the freckles.
Get an ounce of it at the nearest drug
store and to-night spread on enough to
completely cover your face; remove in
the morning with warm water. Repeat
daily until every freckle has disap
peared. "
Rough, blotchy, pimpled skin. also
common at this season, may be entirely
gotten rid of by this same method, with
out digeomfort or inconvenlence. The
effort is decidedly worth while, the new
complexion obtained being so clear,
smooth and youthful.
If bothered with wrinkles, bathe the
face in a lotion made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint of witch hazel. This is the most
effective and quickest-acting wrinkle
treatment known,-——Advt.
