The attacks in on James R bassador. who ix accused of having | started nerthward in an attempt to persuade President Coolidge to modify his poliey toward Mexico, are expect- ed further to complicate the question of Mr. Sheffield’s return Inspired statements, adicating that If Mr. Sheffleld does bring about change in policy. he will be persona non grata to Mexico are not relished here, for American ambassadors are charged with the duty of guiding the Department of State in Shaping a policy. If a government punish an ambassador for making recommendations to his own govern- ment, there would be little value in having diplomatic representatives in foreign countries The trouble in this case, however, is that Mr. Sheffleld has taken un aggressive position and has made him the Mexican press | sheffleld.

Just what steps could be taken that would be effective in view of the non intervention policy of the administra- tion is something which the Coolidge | administration, like its predecessors, | will find it difficult to solve. Must Suppress Rebel Activities. The breaking off of diplomatic re- lations usually is followed by & lifting of the embargo on arms. This in turn s an invitation to forces to go ahead against the consti tuted government A few days ago the American Gov ernment squelched a rebel movement which was headed toward Mexico from American territory. So long as the American Government extends recognition, it I8 the duty of the Washington authorities to suppress any activities on this side of the line. Once recognition is withdrawn. it is a free-for all. And there are plenty of rebel leaders who are ready to start into Mexica on the slightest hint that they can get the arms and ammuni- tion thev want by purchase on this side of the border. There are no indications that the Mexican question has reached the breaking point. though the whole thing is at the moment aggravated by pressure from Catholic laymen to ex- press a protest against mistreatment of Catholic priests. Reports to the effect that Mr. Cool- idge will not intervene are taken here to mean that actual interference in the religious controversy is not con- templated, but that a way will be found to bring the matter to the attention of the Mexican authorities as something that is profoundly affecting American public opinion.

It was officially announced at the President’s office at il Smiths o day that there was absolutely no foun dation for reports eminating from Washington that Secretary Kellogg is contemplating retiring to private life The President sald through his spokes- man that these rumors regarding his cabinet members crop up from time 1o time. but in this case he feels very sure there is no authority for such a { rumor.

Since coming to White Pine Camp the Secretary of State has not only discussed Mexican affairs and the speech he 1S to make tomorrow, but the President and he have gone very thoroughly into all of the pressing matters now before the State Depart ment. Some of the matters discussed by them have arisen since the Presi dent left Washington for his vacation, and, although the President was ad vised of these, he preferred to go into all these questions in & more con- fidential manner, which was made possible only by having the Secretary come in person to the Adirondack camp.
