Shuster Issues
A Statement
Teheran, Dec. 18.—^EMitor Interna
tional Nerva Service, New York: We
leam from the lipa of the British for
eign minister that Persian independ-
enctt is a lost cauae because Persia
has failed to recognise the Interests
of England and Russia. I wish my
countrymen to know the facts.
1 can conceive two legitimate in
terests and two only of these pow-
ers: Military strategy and honest
oommerce. Herein their interests are
rightly stronger than those of the
other powers. Since my arrival
have never known Persia to fall in
the recognition of the comnMrcial In
terests of either country. Persia de
sires, and I in my sphere have stnv*
en to develop the country’s commer
cial relations to the utmost. More
over, no country in the world is more
tolerant of foreigners thad Persia
nor can 1 conceive anr other power
of her own accord, giving foreigners
the full administrative reforming pow-
ei^ that Persia has accorded ber
American officials.
When we hear therefore of Persia’s
intractability is it not reasonable to
suppose that part of the fault may
lie elsewhere? •
There remain the strategloal con
siderations. Persia's sole offence is
that she has endeavored to reform
herself and grow strong. If then, li^
dependent Persia, as a buffer state to
keep the peace between two great
empires which in the past watched
one another with jealous eyes, is in
compatible with their strategy,
have no more to say, although I re
serve my opinion of that strategy.
In that case the governments of
the two great empires, in total hos^
tility, I believe, to the generous spli^
it of their peoples, have decided that
Persia X must go. The execution may
be duly cariied out and we shall de
liberate the garroting of an ancient
nation; but at least I trust my coun
trymen tp show their horror at the
tragedy and to register it in the book
of memory lest we forget it when
we liear smooth words as to the
high alms of Buropean clvilliatlon
and Christian govemnuMits.
I venture the prophecy that Bu
rope is iHllng the cup of Islam’s- mV
temess aiid that the^ day of reiK)P'
Ing la not far distant. I know little
of English politics, but if the volume
of sympathy with Persia and the m
dlgnation against English official l^Ol-
icy which Reaches us is toy. tndjc**
tion, I believe the heart of England
like that of America, is sound and
hat the tatesman who retains con
trol of her foreign policy in defiance,
as I understand it, of his own party,
will be remembered as the first Kng-
llshman who forgot Asia.

Mexico OHy, Dec. 16.—El Imparcial
at this late date prints an editorial
regarding Presid^t Taft’s message to
congress on foreign relations which
was presented December 7.
The affirmationB contained in the
message, the newspaper says, “are so
definite that they may be taken as
outlining a f^ollcy applicable to all
cases. That policy can be called sim
ply 'Intervention* in as much as the
Madero government may find itself
shortly conflating a similar situation
to that in which the Diaz government
was placed.”
The newspaper points to the pref>i*
dent’s message saying that
phantasm” of Intervention conlTont:)
the Mexican nation. It refers to Am
bassador Wilson’s “penetration whlcl?i,
at the early date of his intervle ^
with Mr. Taft cmables him to perceive
a situation which no Mexican saw and
which only presented itself later.”

Madison Square Garden, N. Y., Dec.
16.—Joe FOgler, of the National A. C.
of Brxx>klyn, and Jack C. Clarke, of
Melbourne, Australia, serving as a
team throughout, won the annual in
ternational six-day bicycle race which
came to a close In Madison Square
Garden tonight.
No heart throbbing mile spnnts to
decide the final positions of the leaders
were necessary for this combination to
establish their supremacy over the
pick of the world’s best riders, for they
won with a lap to spare. They had
sprinted twenty hours before the tre-
minatlon of the contest, at a time
when the balance of the riders were
unprepared for the mad spurt which
gave the Clarke-Fogler pair their in
surmountable advantage of a lap on
the entire field.
The Fogler-Clarke score was 2,718
miles 9 laps. ' ,
The race was a record breaker in
many respects. Though the distance
traversed far from approach^ the
record, almost every other mai^ was
obliterated. For one, the attendance
record was shattered; the number of
spills exceeded that of any other siml-
lar contest an(^ the casualty list sur
passed that which graced any other
rac^- in recall. EJvery rider had his
share of falls and contussions and a
few erf them will cairy scars to bear
mute testimony to their part in the
last six day race in Madison Square
Garden.
