We have a right to expect that men who claim to be directing a program of law enforcement will themselves respect the law. and. above all. that they will administer justice with scrupulous honesty and impartiality. That this is not being done in Mexico is evident to anyone familiar with recent events. Under the flimsiest pretexts. peaceful and defenseless men and women are being arrested. tortured. thrown into jail. deported. and even put to death. This is done in open violation of the constitution and the laws of the country. Fragmentary reports of atrocities committed under authority and even by direction of the Government have come to the American people. but a rigid censorship makes it impossible for our newsgathering agencies to keel) us adequately informed of what is really happening in Mexico.
