Kxtremo distrust of tho Carranza gov ernment and dissatisfaction with that cnun- try's attitude toward tho war havo caused tho United States to refusu thu uigent ap peals mado by Mexico for about 15,00", 000 bushels of corn, and only HOO.OOO bush els will bo permitted to crono the Hio Grande. i The Carranza government has for bomo weeks been pleading with tho United States for IB.000,000 bushels ot corn, on ncoount ot the falluro of tho Mexican corn crop through frost. The "War Industries Hoard has Issued a license for shipment of GOO.000 bushels of corn to Mexico at once, sufllcient. It is be llcved'to stave off starvation for a time. United States oflicials personally would like to grant the plea for 20,000,000 bush els, but conditions In Mexico have become quite critical within tho last two months, and there Is grave danger that foodstuffs will fall Into the hands of bandits or dis honest officials. "Reports, moro or less nuthentlo, have reached the- American olliclals that food supplies are being smuggled out of Mexico to Germany by borne corrupt and selllsh Mexican officials whllo thousands of Mexi cans are threatened with death by star vation. American officials face a problem of per forming a great humanitarian duty while serving tho Interests of Itself unit allies nnd are cheerfully watching tho machina tions of Insidious enemies. The fact that tho United States and her allies are dependent upon Mexico for oil nnd ore compels the Government olliclals to act with tho greatest caution In dealing with Mexico, especially In view of the fact that the German propaganda 13 becoming threat ening eaoti day and every attempt Is being made to stir up rebellion In Mexico uud poi son the minds of tho Mexicans against all Germany's enemies.
