By Associated Press
reaching policy of protection of Amer-
ican life and property in Mexico can
be given by the Madero administra-
tion during the coming year, it was
learned on high authority here yes-
terday. s
Further information indicates that
even the little provision for safe-
guarding foreigners made before the
recent demand of the United States
for the protection of Americans will
be abandoned in the near future
through the centralization of govern-
ment Whops at the capital. Such a
policy will leave the outlying districts
at the mercy of marauding bands.
Every attempt to comply with Pres-
ident Taft’s demand has been frus-
trated by the lack of government
funds with which to raise a large and
well disciplined army. Minister Pe-
dro Lascurlan is rumored to have
failed in his attempt to negotiate a
further loan fropi New York bankers,
while a similar attempt in Paris is
said behave failed.
In government circles it was ad-
mitted that such a failure would en-
force upon the government the most
rigid economy, extending even to the
reduction of-the present army. It also
is rumored on high authority that the
financial reserves of the government
have been exhausted and Mexico is
perilously close .to bankruptcy.
In a last effort to secure the neces-
sary funds with which to carry on the
affairs of the government, Gustavo
Madero, brother of President Madero,
is said to have been appointed finan-
cial agent of the Madero administra-
tion with instructions to combine his
office of special amhassador to Japan
with that of raising funds. Gustavo
Madero’s mission is ostensibly to
thank the Japanese government for
taking part in the Mexican centen-
nial under IjGrfirio Diaz.
It is said in financial circles here

takes at this point I suggest that af-
ter the assistant shall have completed
his investigation that he bring the
question before our corps of lawyers.
“We will also be called upon to
pass upon the constitutionality of
many acts of the legislature. Ques-
tions may arise where the Legislature
has failed to observe the procedure
prescribed by the constitution. An
act of the legislature under our
scheme of government is presumed
to express the will of the people, and
should, unless so clearly void as to
be free from controversy, be re-
spected and enforced by the executive
departments of the government until
nullified by the judiciary.
“I will say In order that others may
understand our attitude that we
should never lose sight of the fact that
there Is but one Attorney General's
office in the state, and that those hav-
ing business with us can not go else-
where. We should endeavor to weave
into our daily task those Christian
virtues that suffereth long and kind,
that vaunteth not itself. Is not puffed
up, and doth not behave Itself un-
seemly, Is not easily provoked, bear-

and never faileth In the diligent and
faithful performance of official duty.”

office and entered upon his duties.
