CHAOS LIKELY TO RESULT IF 4 CALLES FALLS Kellog-Sheffield Warning Is f . Now Considered Diplo- _ ? matic Blunder. By William Philip Sunma Tinea Woahlnaton' Bureau, JSlt New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, June 26.—1 t Is beginning to dawn on officials high In the Ooolidge administration thrt the Kellogg-Sheffield warning to Mexico is likely to prove the most costly diplomatic blunder of a decade. While evidence continues to pile up that all Latin-AmerJca is incensed over what it construes as the bullying of one of its members, officials here have been tcfld by observers Just returned from Mexico that foreigners there are fearful lest things now take a turn for the worse instead of better. Chaos May Result The overthrow of President Calles, officials have been warned, almost surely would lead to a dog-fight for power, as antagonistic leaders fought to gain control. Not one, but several, civil wars would likely break out in as many different parts of the country resulting in bloody ruin not only for Mexico, but for foreign interests as well. The indications are that Ambassador Sheffield, new to Mexico and to diplomacy, was misled by the tales of a Landful of disgruntled Americans. Apparently the majority of Americans are friendly to Calles. On the very heels of the Kellogg incident they entertained Minister of Commerce and Labor Luis Morones at a banquet and heard his statement that while Mexico fully recognized her responsibilities abroad, she iLood prepared to dig her own gravo in defense of her right to manage her domestic affairs. | Kellogg Beginner Secretary of State Kellogg has been in his present position only a few months, coming into it fresh from his post as ambassador to Britain, which country is hostile to, and does not recognize, the Mexican government. British interests south of the Rio Grande are being looked after by United States diplomatic representatives there. Dr. Ernest Gruening of Boston, & writer and expert on Mexican affairs, stopped over in Washington especially to see certain officials. He Is personally acquainted with President Calles and other Mexican statesmen, and was in Mexico City when Secretary Kellogg’s warning to Calles dropped like a bolt from the blue. Inopportune Time “It could not possibly have come at a more inopportune moment,” Dr. Gruening told the writer. “I have spent considerable time in Mexico and have watched every move down there since the flight of Diaz. And in all truth I can say I do not remember a time when life and property were safer there than they are at present. “President Calles came into office with an ugly situation on his hands. The peons, fooled time and again by their political leaders* had been promised land and were inclined to take it when and where they found it. Federal authority was weak in many States. Local authorities often defined the capital. Bandit hands roamed the country, wrecking trains, killing and robbing. The treasury was almost empty. Many State employes had not been paid for weeks. And so on. Calles Boss Now “Calles now has the situation fairly well in hand. If let alone, or given encouragement, he will ultimately have it completely so. Abuses by peasant land-grabbers are comparatively rare. Banditry has all but ceased to exist. Trains run pretty much on time and without danger. Graft has nearly disappeared. Back salaries have been paid and $40,000,000 saved toward a new State bank. Within six months this shquld be going and the funding of foreign debts begun. Calles Is fast straightening Moxlco out. “In the midst of thip promising situation came the Kellogg warning in Mexico looked upon as an open encouragement to revolutionists. ‘I do not believe a single foreign Interest down there, American or other—aside from a few chronic infterjventionists—welcomed the Kellogg incident. To the contrary, I am confident that the wast mejority, Including even the great oil interests, consider Calles a rock to cling to. Most people I talked with —and they were representative—fear that if Cftllas falls, they will face ruin as half a dozen revolutionary leaders begin to fight for power.”
