STERNER POLICY IN MEXICAN AFFAIRS

Fall, Lodge and Others Believe U. S. Has Been Slow to Protect the Rights of Americans.

Washington, July 22.—An attempt by Senator Fall, of New Mexico, to force the senate to enunciate a strong policy of protection for American citizens in foreign countries today precipitated a lively debate which demonstrated appreciation on the part of the senators of the gravity of the Mexican situation and the necessity for a determined stand by the United States. Denunciation of the policy of delay on the,part of the Taft administration was emphatically pronounced by Senator Fall and was blamed by him for the present critical situation which he said could have been prevented by a sterner national policy, This declaration was approved by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who expressed disappointment that the new president and new secretary of state had not inaugurated a different Mexican policy. . • . ■ Senator Fali — called up his reslution which would commit the government to full protection of the rights” of American citizens in foreign nations. That the resoluton was directed against Mexico, Senator Bacon declared could not be concealed and, in moving to refer it to the foreign relations committee, he asserted that “words ars very serious things some times and this is one of t]he times.” Senator Works, of California, asserted that the Fall resolution constituted a declaration that -the United States Was prepared to make 'war on Mexico if Americans were not protected, urged that no hasty action be taken. Senator Fall averred that every act of his had been prompted with the earnest desire to prevent war, and that he had vainly sought to bring the former administration to a realization of the fact that a stern Mexican policy “would have prevented rather than precipitated war. The American policy of delay in Mexico was responsible, he declared, for the present critical situation, one, which he intimated might yet Remand intervention. Action on the resoluton today was prevented and it went to the calendar for future disposition. -
