rXITEB STATES DEMANDS
RELEASE OF JENKINS
Washington, Nov. 24.?Before sending
the hote to the Carranza Government
of Mexico, demanding the immediate.
release of William O. Jenkins?the
American Consular Agent
at PuebTa, Mesiico, who was recently
kidnapped by Mexican bandits and
he]ld for $150,000 ransom, and who,
af^er his release by the bandits, was
arrested by the Mexican authorities
on the absurd charge of complicity in
his own kidnapping^the State Department,
it is now reported, carefully
weighed the entire situation and
decided that, unless there should be
a prompt and complete compliance
with the demands contained in this
note, the American Government would
take steps to compel such compliance
and also to deal adequately with the
*
whole troublesome Mexican situation.
The statement in the note that Jenkins
must be immediately released i
n |
and that any further molestation of
the Consular Agent "will seriously af- I
feet relations between Mexico and the
United States," me'ant, it is said, precisely
what the words imply?that
America will use force if necessary to
coriipel compliance. The note was, in
fact,' an ultimatum, and, while America
would deplore the necessity for
such action, it may mean armed inter
ii is admited in high official circles
that the State Department has before
it a War Department estftnate of just
what would be involved by intervention.
This estimate, it is stated, in'
dicates that three yc-ars and 450,000
men would be required for this pur
pose.

Hoover and has conferred them on
Attorney General Palmer. The President's
proclamation to this effect is a
direct result of the Government's efforts
to avert a sugar famine, but the
powers delegated to Mr.' Palmer will
be used in a more general way to help
reduce the high <jpst of living.
Plans have already been tentatively
decided upon for increasing the price
of all sugar, except the Louisiana crop
for which a price of 17 cents has already
been fixed, to 12 cents a pound

to be opened. With assurances
that a fair margin of profit, said to
be about $1.54 a hundred pounds, will
be allowed, sugar refiners are ready
to enter the Cuban markets and purchase
all available stocks. In this
way, officials believe, the increased
price of sugar will avert a shortage
