Particular reference was made to alleged injustices practised agoinst Mexicans in the United States, Tho messagg also defended: Mexico's neutrality during the war and pro- tested against charges that the Mexi- can Government was Incompetent and unwilling to protect foreign lives and property. | MEXICO WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MONROE DOCTRINE. In the message President Carranza fswerted that Mexico did not ask ad- mission to the League of Nations be- cause, he sald, the league did not es- tablish equality for all nations and races, He reiterated that*Mexico had not recognized and would not recognize the Monroe Doctrine, Regarding oll legislation, the mes- ge said the Government was willing to conciliate, but would not sacrifice its national sovereignty. Declaring that in international mat- ters “the honor of Mexico has been guarded with energy and prudence, the President gave four main causes of international friction: American frontier conditions, damages to for- eign property in Mexico, damages re- sulting from injury and deaths of for- eigners, and the results of the appli-, cation of laws developing from legis- lation carrying ,out revolutionary ideals, Discussing the fourth cause of fric- tion, the President gaid:that this was most serious since it involved @ liml- tation of national sovereignty, He. took up his previous declarations ex- pressing the refusal of Mexico to rifice her berty to govern according to her own necessities and not “sim- ply to satisfy the demands of oll interests.” “The revolution has implanted re- forms making for the welfare and progress of the Mexican people, says, “The Government is endeavor- ing to respect ahd consolidate exist- ing rights, but absolutely cannot ac- cept the principle that the liberty of Mexicans to govern according to their own necessities shauld be limited. fort to conquer difficulties that arise will continue, but our sovereignty will be maintained unharmed.” Petroleum legisiation has been given a preferential place on the legislative programme, Optimism was apparent in every declaration of the message, even transgressions by foreign powers against Mexican sovereignty, In connection with the recent punl- tive expedition to find bandits who were holding two Anrerican avia- tors for ransom, the message said: ‘This invasion constitutes a viola- tion of our rights, Serious and with- out motive was this violation that has deeply wounded Mexican pa~ triotic feeling.” EXPLAINS CONDEMNATION OF MONROE DOCTRINE. Regarding the Monroe Doctrine, the message sald, “Mexico did not recog- nize and will not recognize it,” inas- much as it established without the volition of all the peoples of America, a@ criterion and situation in which they were not consulted, and because | that doctrine smacked of sovereignty over Mexico and constituted forcible guardianship over all the nations on the American hemisphere, Citing the case of the Richar Company's against the increas: Message sil Infortunately the | Mexican Government has suggestions from the United States | Government when it has tried to| make reforms that may injure Amer- | These su; stions de- stroy deliberately our liberty for legislation and nullify the right we on protes' n land taxes, th received | | ORLD, TUESDAY, 81 @MO44A- g $ ‘ep 98906-3441 0099004 In the group bi DECLARES PALMER IS MORE PRUSSIAN THAN A PRUSSIAN’ Frelinghuysen Charges the Attorney General Condoned Lusitania Sinking. \UWASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Senator ‘Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, charged Attorney General Palmer with acting as “an intermediary be- tween the President and German agents” in a free speech in the Sen- ate to-day. Mr. Frelinghuysen said he opposed confirmation of Palmer as Attorney General: “Because he publicly proclaimed, as did the Germans, that Americans having been warned of danger, should not have sailed on the Lusi- tania,” Senator Frelinghuysen's speech fol- lowed a statement by Mr. Palmer that | the New Jersey Senator had used his| influence to hinder operation of the ‘Trading With the Enemy Act. Palm- er, as allen property custodian, ad- ministered this act., The New Jersey Senator declared that Mr, Palmer did not “secure the | best Prices for property “His contact with German agents had taught him the power of bureau- cracy,” Mr, Frelinghuysen continued. ‘Mr, Palmer had indeed learned from the German agents. He is more. Prus- sian than the Prussians, I denounced the Prussians and their ways and no one of their disciples can intimidate 10.

GERMANY WARNED BY ALLIES 10 KEEP HANDS OFF AUSTRIA (Continued from First Page.) vide for @ settlement of the Fiume controversy at present, the inference being} that Austria would simply be in- formed of the territory she would have to relinquish and that the disposition of this territory, in certain cases, would be left for subsequent adjustment, As to the political future of Austria, however, it is known that under, the treaty the League of Nations is to have a very large say. For one thing, the decision whether Austria shall be al- lowed to join Germany would be left with the League. Of such permission being given, however, there would ap- pear to be little chance, as France is known to be opposed to such a union, as are Switzerland and many other countries, There seems to be a general feel- ing of dissatisfaction in Peace Con- ference circles with the treaty, which was adapted from the German treaty and does not fit such a small power very well. The Council, however, agreed on the treaty, beause there is & general weariness with discussion. Under the terms of the treaty Vi- enna, with its 2,000,000 inhabitants, seems doomed to lapse into compara- tive commercial insignificance, as there is a population of only 4,000,000 within the country outside the city to support the capital, while with Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slavokia and Hungary existing as separate powers Vienna can burdly hope to recover the business formerly drawn from their territories, ‘The Supreme Council to-day dis- cussed the failure of Roumania to make written responses to the Coun- cil's note, It is likely the Council will send an Admiral in the near future with an emphatic note demanding an immediate response by Roumania to Council’s communications, nanan BRITISH-PERSIAN TREATY ATTACKED 10 SENATORS; HUNGARIAN PLEAS HEARD Former Minister to Shah’s Country Asks “Written Protest” Against Pact. WASHINGTON, Sopt. Discus- sion of the treaty recently negotiated between Great Britain and Persia was precipitated by Senator Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania during thd session to-day of the Senate For- Committee. At the Charles W. Russell, Minister Persia during President Taft's Administration, was heard. He asked that the Senate make 4 “written protest” against the pact. The treaty, as quoted by Mr. Rus- sell, provides for control of Persian financial and military by joint British-Persian Commissions, butenator Knox declared that by the terms of the treaty the decisions eign Relations Senator's suggestion, matters ing anxiously toward the end of the strike and that many are discour- aged, Let me tell you that there have been many important develop- in good rela- y nations of the tion tions with all frie world with the of Great ments in tho past fow days which I cannot divulge Just now, Be of good cheer, I oan positively promise you of the British members would be final, Mr, Russell told the committee he had obtained the copy he read “con- ginia, asked if it was a-wecret treaty. Mr. Russell said it could not be un- “der the Persian Constitution, nor, for that matter, could {t be constitutional in any case. “No ¢onstitution,” he said, “could countenanee giving either the Par- liament or the Executive or both the power to commit national hari-kari.” Mr, Russell declared that the treaty gave Great Britain absolute power over “the purse and the sword of Persia.” The committee to-day also heard representatives of the, Hungarian- American opganizations and Albanian- Americans and to-morrow will hear Swedish views as to the peace settle- ment, Speaking for the Hungarian-Amer- ican Press Association, Dr. Bela Sekely of New York declared that| under the guise of high sounding promises the League of Nations, through, terms of Article 10 and 11 would perpetuate “spoils and injus- tices” around subjugated peoples. Late in the day it was expected the committee again would take up in execufive session proposed amend- ments to the treaty, Only one re- mained on the committe’s calendar— the proposal of Senator Fall, Repub- Ucan, New Mexico, to eliminate the provision for an international labor organization. President Wilson leaves to-morrow night on his trip to create sentiment for the League of Nations and aid the Government fight against the high cost of living. ‘The Republicans are still “up in the air’ ove: the matter of trailing him, and at present it seems that Senator Johnson of Califo: aia will be the only speaker to follow him to the Coast. It is planned for Borah to stay here and direct Senatorial oratory, and for Lodge to watch the parliamentary situation. Mr. Lodge opposed the “trailing” plan, Even Johnson will not “trail,” but he is scheduled to speak in Indian- apolis several days later, on his way to the coast, where he will naturally re~ ply to any argument the President may present. Members of the Senate Forelgn Re- lations Committee predicted to-day that the peace treaty will be reported to the Senate not later than the first of next weck. ‘Writing the resolution of ratifica- tion has been taken up by Senators Lodge and Knox on the theory that no additional data will be developed. The preamble of the resolution will declare that the reservations must become a part of the treaty and be accepted by the other signatories.

The first definite steps were taken |by the City Administration to prevent ‘the collection of an increased fare by the Now York and North Shore Trac- tion Company in Queens as author- ized by Public Service Commissioner | Nixon. The corporation counsel sent a | warning notice to the company off- | cials, telling them that it is iMegal to collect a higher fare than five cents under the franchise granted to the company by the city. At the same time @ formal note was sent from the Corporation Counsel's office to Commissioner Nixon asking |him to reopen the'hearing of the case, |Ho had already promised to give a new hearing if the city officiais want- ed one, Two petitions were in circulation in Flushing to-day, both haying to do with the fare question. One was ad- dressed to the Mayor, asking that he and the other eity officials concerned attend any rehearing that might be held, in order to learn the sentiment of the people who are interested in haying the service of the traction company maintained, The other was addressed to Com- missioner Nixon, asking that if a re- henring is held it be held in Flush- ing. At the Public Service Commis- sion's office it was said that the re- aring undoubtedly would be held in Flushing. Both petitions were signed by thousands, it was asserted, At\the Mayor's office !t was said that the responses to the Mayor's ap- peal for a vigilance committee to fight the high fare movement had iot yet been tabulated, {O maintain the A.
