J,. . 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.

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.
