Senate discloses the fact that
school tor ic>v}r months contmu-
ously from the beginning of the
term of school. None of the
public schools will open later than
October 18th this year, and many
many Senators, including the
foremost supporters of the ad
ministration, take a very serious
yhw of the situation. Senator
Clark, of Wyoming, introduced.
and pressed vigorously, a resolu-1
tion for a Senate investigation
of the situation. It required a
long and serious appeal by Sen
ator Bacon, Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations,
the natural spokesman for the
administration on such matters,
to prevent immediate action on
the resolution. In the course
of his appeal Senator Bacon ad
mitted that Governor Lind’s
mission was likely to fail a’^d
that its failure almost inevitably
ment armed intervention.
General Huerta’s official ann
ouncement, that Governor Lind’s
presence in Mexico would not be
desirable, is followed by an aston
ishing official statement by the
Governor of the Federal Distict,
in which Mexico City is situated,
to the effect that he can provide
no guarantee for the personal
safety of Governor Lind in that
city. These two formal annou
ncements by high Mexican offi-
i cials present a situtation which
may easily and shortly compel
I this government to resort to
I armed intervention.
President W^ilson is Meeting
with slow but steady success in,
his legislative program. Discus,--
sion on the tariff bill in the Sen^
ate is dragging along its weary
course at a speed or lack of speed
which indicates that we shall b6
fortunate if the final vote is rea
ched before the latter part of
September. This is the fourth
week of the entai’ei considera
tion of the bill by the Senate
and discussion has not yet been
^ concluded upon fourteen sche-
I dules. The most controversial
[ are yet to be taken up. In those
schedules which have been con-
! sidered, numerous items have
! been passed at the request of
I Senator La Follette, who is evi
dently preparing to^ submit his
own tariff propositions at one
time. It is not at all unlikely
that Mr. La Follette’s attempt
to impress his views on the tar
iff legislation will consume at
least a week.
