How the United States Does Not
Look After its Citizens Abroad

that our state department was merely
acting as agent for the presentation of
the claim to the advisory board ap-
pointed by the Mexican government.
and It appears that no representations
or demands whatever were made.
In many instances, Americans, in or
der to avoid the expense and red tape
imposed by our government have pre-
sented their claims directly to the
Mexican government, and I understand
that many claims thus presented have
been paid, but 1 have yet to hear Of
the first claim presented through our
state department having been even IA
vOrably considered
Our state department is continually
sending out circulars and letters to all
consular offices asking for information
concerning trade and commerce. but
have never seen an inquiry as to how
the government could protect such or
its citizens as may be engaged in such
trade in foreign countries
The theory of our government If
indeed. 1t has a theory seems to be
that important foreign trade relations
can be developed and maintained
through correspondence without the
necessity Of having American citizens
go to foreign countries to work up
such relations, and that Americans
therefore, have no business being in
foreign countries, and that if they will
persist in living outside of the United
states. they must look out for their
own lives and property.
Other nations have learned that COM
merce, like fair lady, cannot be won by
faint heart and the cultivation of the
Mona Lisa smile and they are afford
ing their citizens ample protection
wherever they may be-
Even China. so long regarded as
political jellyfish. has developed more
backbone than the eel-like vertebra
that goes with the smile and her citi-
zens are receiving more consideration
by the Mexican government than
Americans are.
