The code of cthics of the American Bar Assoclation is to be mcorporated in the regulations, so that any lawyer appearing before the Treasury will have to state whether he has read the regulations and whether he is forming to them. The punishment for violation will be the disbarment of these lawvers from practicing again before the Treasury Depart- meat. . 5 Some of ‘those who wish to make *he regulations drastic insisted that ne former emplove of the income tax unit should ever be permitted to sractice before that particular unit. but objections were raised to this on the theory that many innocent would suffer a ship, being unable to make use of their experience on tech- nical q tions.

McAdoo, Cotton and Frank- +1in, and subsequently by myself in i1Los Angeles, in connection with the Mexican properties of Mr. Doheny's companies. It is clearly shown in my letter and in the testimony before the committee that neither they nor 1" have had any relation whatever to the leas made of the Teapot Dome and California Naval Reserves. There is, therefore, nothing more to be said on that score. sought the privilege of appearing before vou in person for the purpose of confributing in any way in my power as a private citizen to the object of this inquiry. “It has been assumed that honor- ably conducted law practice of a citizen holding no public office is not ordinarily a subject of Congressional inquiry. - 1 think it may fairly be presumed that if my name was not prominently mentioned in connection with high office, my private practice as a lawyer would be of no interest to_this committee or to_ the public. Whether or not it has been drawn into this inquiry to serve a partlsan political purpose, the country will Judge. ’ Says Country Appalled. “It would be a crime against the public if the dragging of innocent people into this affair should divert attention from the guilty or prevent the discovery of those who have be- trayed the public interest. The whole country is shocked and appalied by what has been revealed in this inves- tigation. The fact that a former cab- inet officer’ of this administration is already gravely involved has raised a strong susp-cion in the public mind that others may be guilty. The faith of the people In their own govern- mient is shaken and the damaging ef- fects upon public morale are so grave that the security of democratic in- stitutions is seriously imperiled. The first duty, the imperative duty of the liour, is mercilessly to uncover and to bring to public view and scorn and punishment every one who has be- trayed the public trust or. who has been guilty of wrongdoing in this humiliating and dangerous affair. “This question transcends political !parties and partisan considerations. Clean and incorruptible government is vitas, not alone to republicans and | democrats, but to every citizen. For imy part, I am cager to see partisan- t ship stilled in the face of so grave a danger to our common country. It would be an inspiration to see men and women in private fife and parti- sans of all parties in public life united as they were in the great war in & common effort to destroy cor- ruption and to bring the government back to honesty. ‘Would Give Reasons. “I should lke to supplem m.u,r of February 7 with i i { 1 i | | i ot my ome of J.\ . 1 have never been! the | enter- | But I have!

This presented a grave situation for Amerlcan property rights in Mexico—so grave, in fact, that the Wilson administration on April_ 2, 1918, through Ambassador *Fletcher, at Mexico City, filed a solemn protest against it. This attitude was . consistently maintained by the Wilson administration _throughout _its life. When the Harding administration came in, Secretary Hughes adopted the same policy. This poilcy was Insisted upon ! by the American commissioners to Mex- ico, Messrs. Warren and Payne, and, s 1 understand it, was practically made a condition of recognition of Mexico by the United States. Saw Vital Importance. “During the year 1918, I was direc- tor general of the railroads of the United States. The fuel problem was one of the most serious with which we ihad to deal. 1 was then made to real- ize keenly the tremendous importance of fuel oil from Mexico. A great num- iber of American industries along the T Atlantic seaboard were dependent upon } Mexican fuel oil. The preservation of ysupply was then, and is now, essen- tial to our internal economy. Not alone is this true, but the question of {an adequate oil supply and of an ade- quate ofl reserve is one of the most important for any nation under con- ditions of modern warfare. In fact, the crucial test in the next war, if one should come, is Eoing to be not alone war machinery and. appliances, but control of an adequate supply of petroleum to meet the needs of na- tional defense and offense. It is no ex- aggeration to say that the strongest | nation in petroleus resources wiil be the most likely victor in such a con- test. For all of these reasons, there- fore, the American government and the American people were interested i preserving the Mexican oil sup- ply, which was lawfully .owned or centrolled by American citizens. In 1915 I called the first pan- erican financial conference in shington. It was attended by all s nd Central American re- rubl ept Mexico, which was then in a state of revolution. The fol- lowing year, 1916, I attended the first session of the international high com- mission of all the South and Central American republics at Buenos Aires, in the Argentine. At this session were discussed cconomie, financial and other problems of reat consequence to the whole of Latin America, and I gained a familiarity with_conditions prevailing throughout South and ‘entral America, which could not have been obtained in any other w 1 was deeply interested not alons in these economic and financial problems, but in promoting closer and better relations between the United States and all of these republics, i . this fyel oil Wa u Protection Desirable. “Mr. Doheny’s Mr. Doheny, companies, as well as enjoyed an enviable reputation when he called on me in | 1919. His companies were the out- standing independent oil companies furnishing the required supply of Mexican fuel oil to our industries along the Atlantic seaboard. They were also the only strong companies offering competition with the so- alled “0il trust’ in the United States. For the purpose of preserving com petition and sccuring the essential supplies of fuel oil for our industries along the Atlantic seaboard, It was highly desirable to protect, by every imate and proper means, the oil- bearing properties of American citi- cens in Mexico. “When ~ Mr. Doheny, therefore, sked my firm to act for him profes- onally in trying to prevent the con- fiscation of ‘his valuable petroleum properties in Mexico, representing several hundred million dollars, it ap- pealed to me because of my general |knowledge of the oil industry und of jMexican and Latin American relations gained in the manper I have de- scribed, and because it was in line with the declared policy of the admin- istration to protect American proper- ties against confiscation in Mexico. Saw Opportunity to Serve. “I believed that an opportunity was presented to render a genuine service, outside of my professional work, in promoting Latin American commerce, and more particularly in contributing to the protection of all American rights in Mexico, If retroactive and coufiscatory effect to article 27 of the Mexican constitution could be pre- vented, This, with my letter of February 7, 1924, gives the history of my pro- fessional connection with the Doheny companies. The service I have ren- dered to them was in good faith and in full satisfaction for the fees that have been paid. I owe them nothing and they owe me nothing.” coEAe CHILE SENATE PASSES ALL REFORMS DEMANDED President Alessandri, in Return for More Power, Reconstructs His Cabinet. By the Associated Press.

THEATERS FACE CRISIS Unable to Understand Apathy of Public. Italians By Cable to The Star and Philadeiphia Public Ledger. Copyright, 1923 ROME, February 11.—Poetry and art had to be protected by the strong arm of the law recently in Turin when Marinett! introduced his new futurist theatrical company to the publie, The program, which consisted of several brief vaudeville sketches of a futurist character, was, as usual, punctuated by a vigorous launching of vegetables and aged eggs. As one of the latter buzzed past the now fat and fortyish futurist chief, he cried out, “If you extinguixh this brain you will all remain In the dark Many Colored Waistconts. One of the turns consisted in half- a-dozen futurists coming before th curtain and slowly unbuttoning th, s one by one, uling ama ing waistcoats, colored like futurist paintings. Another item on the pro- gram showed two men dressed up like a locomotive. They danced round a man with a peaked cap and a green flag in his hand, pufing and snorting like an engine the while. ailway locomotive in love with a station master,” explained Marinetti. The house was packed with police, bad times. In order to find a remedy for this state of things, there is at present going on in Milan a national theatrical congress, attended by all the most important theatrical folk of Italy. ‘The actors especially are largely represented.

Signor Berini, author of “Il Beffardo” and other plays, some of which have been done abroad, cried out: “The author is the most indis- pensable of all.” ‘This was answered by shouts of “The author always gets his bit whatever happens!” “Kill him_off, then!" cried the dramatic authors in sarcastic chorus.
