LAF0LLEHE FLAYS TAFT
Declares Intervention" by United States Army Is
Monstrous and Beyond Belief

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Mar. IL
LaFollette's weekly today says:
Why is the president massing
What reason has he for making n
war-like demonstration which Is
sounding an alarm in every quar-
ter of the world? What canon of
international law can he invoke
to justify rushing formidable
army equipped for battle to the
very boundary of country at

PRECEDENT of intervention can he
lffer as an excuse for meddling in
he internal affairs of Mexico at
his time. Can he forecast the
complications with foreign powers
which may result?
To all intents and purposes it is
the beginning of hostilities against
the Mexican republic. The consti-
tuition vests in the congress the
right to make war, and rightly so.

their lives. 1t is right that they

gress, not the president, that took
action, and it meant war. And in
Cuba we interviewed to help a peo-
pie struggling for their liberties.
We did not intervene to throttle
insurrection.
What is the reason for this?
1t Is because Henry w. Taft,
brother of the president, is the
director in S. PiersSn & Son, an
English corporation, the largest
single financial interest in MeXie-J.
Is it financial interest in MeXi-

best expressed by General j. War
