President Gil gave Mexico a fine Christmas present, lie 'announced on Dec. 25 that nummary executions werp abol ished. Not merely' for' a Christmas holiday either, but for ts much future time as ho could speak for officially. Ke epect fdr human life, he declined, will be as strictly enforced as ever(: but persons caught in open rebellion against the government will bo turned over to the regular authorities for formal trial, like other malefactors. Instructions to this ef fect were given to the Mexican war department, which im mediately passed the word on to its military commanders throughout the country. In the past it has been customary for comnjianders to execute rebels by drumhead court 'mar tial. Countless injustices have boon committed by ;uch procedure, nore1 is another notable step in Mexican prog-j-ess toward orderly and responsible government, reassuring alike to. Mexico and her -neighbors. I ; ONK JOH DODCUl) v i Uncle. Sam hf.s been going slow and "laying off", the lat est Latin-American row as much as possible. Recent expe riences, especially the one concerning Tacna-Arica, have (lulled his enthusiasm for regulating Latin-America if there 5s any decent and safe way to got out of it. It was foi lunate for Uncle, as well as for the rest of Ihe hemisphere, that when Uolivin and Paraguay started shak ing fists' at each other, the International Conference of American State on Conciliation und Arbitration was in ses sion in Washington, That provided a means for action in which this country could bear a proper und honorable part without assuming leadership or control. It was natural in the circumstances for Pan-America, to act as a body, with the United States functioning merely Jis an important member. The responsibility was left with Uie group, and the group as a whole will have to bear what ever il! will may bo incurred in keeping the peace and set tling tho .territorial dispute.' The Uniled Suites in this Case, at least, can hardly be licensed of "imperialism" or "inter vention." ; All this is as it should be. There are Uttin-Anierican powers as capable as the United States of handling such matters. They may be more capable in some respects, be cause they are closer to the scene of trouble and understand better the racial temper. Uncle Sam should not boar all the onus of peace-making, but neither should he try to become expert at passing the buck to others. . MORTON.
