MEXICAN FEDERAL TROOPS IN DOUBLE VICTORY
Senator Jones Wants to Know
Why United States Should
Be So Servile.
WASHINGTON, March 18.—De
elaring that repeal of the clause ex
empting United States coastwise ship
ping from payment of Panama Canal
tolls, following Great RBritain’s pro
test, would be a part of the price this
nation must pay to get the help of a
foreign power in the adiustment of
the unfortunate Mexican situation,
Senator Wesley T. Jones, of, Wash
ington, in the Serate to-day called up
his resolution asking President Wil
son for full information as to all for
eign protests against the enactment
of the Democratic platform pledge ¢n
tolls.
“Why is it necessary for us to re
peal a law of great domestic concern
in order that some unknown foreign
policy may be brought to a successful
issue?” he asked. “Is noninterference
in Mexico by foreign powers to be
bought at this price? Have we be
come g 0 inert, so weak, so servile, that
the Monroe Doctrine must be sus
tauined and invigorated by the very
powers against which it was im
voked ?”
Senator Jones declared that an
agreement for an alliance with Eng
land has been reached, and that as a
part of it Great Britain is to seek
reparation for its losses on Confeder
ate bonds.
Burden Forever on Our Ships.
Should the exemption clause be re
peated, the Senator asserted, ‘‘the
burden of tolls must rest forever on
our coastwise ships, unless we see fit
to relieve all vessels from tolls, What
argument does he (the President) pre
sent? What reason does he offer?
Absolutely none. Ile says the ‘ex
emption constitutes a mistaken eco
nomic policy from every point of
view.’ He gives no reason, he citea
no facts upon which to base this as
sertion, contrary to his public declara
tion in the last campaign.
“This exemption contravenes no
treaty obligations either in letter or
in spirit, and, therefore, no question
of national honor is involved. It is
solely an economic one, and the in
terests of our own peopie are alone to
be considered. Let me assert, as pos
itively as language will permit, that
those who favor this exemption arz
as jealous of the naticnal honor as
those who oppose it.”
A Disastrous Policy.
Senator Jones declared that to fol
low the dictation of another nation
would lead to disastrous consequences
and said if it were followed the United
States would waive its right to forti
fy the canal, to prevent an enemy’s
warships passing through it, to keep
our own warships in the canal, to bar
undesirable citizens from our shores,
or to decide upon the naturalization of

How Home Mixing
Makes European
Farmers Prosperous
They buy straight materials and
mix them into balanced fertilizers
containing two or three times as much
Nitrate
as high-priced American ccmplete
fertilizers contain. Your fertilizer
should contain 4% of active nitro
gen. Does it?
On land farmed for centuries,
England raises 33 bushels of wheat
per acre. We raise but 14. Turope
imports 100% active Nitrate of Soda.
You use dried blood, tankage only
60% to 70% active and you pay
more for it.

increase your yields, Send your address
