DELAY STEEL BILL VOTE
Titanic Speeches Interfere.
Stone Charges Republicans

Senator Stone of Missouri took a shot
yesterday afternoon in the Senate at the
regular republicans who have formulated
plan to absent themselves from the
Senate chamber when the vote is taken
on the democratic steel bill, and thus al
low its passage by democratic votes.
"They are going to desert the field" he
commented.

licans.

stood on the deck, whence all but him had
fed He will be there all the time until
the ship goes down. Nevertheless others
are about to quit the battle and put the
fight up to the President, who already has
all that he can bear"
When the Senate adjourned last night
about Z o'clock. IL was expected that the
steel bill would be voted on before ad-
journment today. But the speeches OF
Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan
and Is.dor Rayner of Maryland on the
Titanic disaster delayed the taking UP OF
the bill. and the final vote may not be re-
corded until tomorrow.
Senator Newlands Hnplans to offer an
amendment to the bnl to provide for a
gradual reduction of tariff rates so that
the effect on business will be slight.

Method of Promoting Acquaintance

Facility Of communication and ease of

between the representative men of all
America, which is the first avowed pur-
pose Of your society.
How can your association best pro-
mote these ends? A good telegra phic
news service to and from the Latin
American republics is crying need. We
should have American newspa pers of the
best type published in the principal Lat
in-American cities. There should be
weekly or biweekly edition of some great
American newspaper, Perhaps printed
part in English and part in Spanish, and
devoted to matters of common interest
among the American republics and to the
dissemination of important and truthful
news of the United States, instead of
the catalogues of scandal and crime
which are nowadays too often served to
our sister republics as news of us by
editors who, for commercial or other
reasons, do not seem to wish us well.

Spread Of Misinformation.

In NUMBER OF the Latin American re-
publics. especially those less advanced
and less fortunate in their internal af-
fairs, it Is the regular custom in some
quarters to insult the fair name of the
United States of America by making 1t
the playth.ng of intriguing politicians.
The Vaccinations of such selfish schem-
ers, supported by the yellowish element
of the local press. strive to conjure up
false stories of American policy and so
to impose upon local public op.n on. What
painful spectacle this is to all honor
able and patriotic citizens of the Amer.-
can republics! How long shall such sin
lister propaganda, obviously for Interior
and unworthy motives, be able to exert
it's baleful influence upon Pan-Amer.can
feeling! Such bogies as are used to
brighten children should not be imposed
upon grown men.

Invasion Means Costly War.

of the most costly wars in all history.

the comprehension of the finite mind.
People who think the invasion of Mexico
would be picnic are not familiar With
the facts and know not what they say. /
am reliably informed by army experts
that for us to hold Mexico would re-
quire an army of 3oO,O0O soldiers. and that
the cost to the government of the. United
States would be hundreds and hundreds
of millions of dollars.
1.-THE loss of life would be terrible.
The Mexicans, of course, would promptly
get together as a matter of pure patriot
ism to repel invaders. and we would be
handicapped and at great disadvantage.
OF course, the present situation in Mexico
is regrettable, but it is not a cause for a
declaration Of war on the part of the
United States.
War of Conquest Opposed.
There must be no war of conquest.
A war Of conquest would be an interna-
tional crime. 1 am opposed to the in
vasion of Mexico for the sake Of con-
quest. Such a policy. in my Judgment,
is contrary to the patriotic sentiments of
nine-tenths of our people and gives the
lie to our declarations for peace and for
closer commercial relations with our sis
ter republics on the western hemisphere.
What will Latin America think OF the
great republic If it ruthlessly invades
the territory of a friendly but distracted
sister republic for the sake of conquest,
and forcibly take away part of her
domain?
1T is no wonder that the republics to
our south view with suspicion the expan-
sion policy of the United States since the
war with Spain. and especially SO since
the establishment by force Of the re-
public of Panama.
Our sphere of world influence by vir-
tue of the Monroe doctrine is essentially
on the western hemisphere. In order to
make that influence benef1cent and in the
true interest of civilization, we must have

Right Policy Toward Mexico.

Now, few words about our sister
republic on the Rio Grande. Mexico is
a friendly sister republic. She should
be treated as such by the government of
the United States. Our policy should be
to live up to our treaty obligations, en-
force the neutrality laws and indulge the
hope that the patriotic people of Mexico
will soon be able to settle their own diff
ferences without the Intervention Of the
United States or any other government
ON earth.
IF the Mexicans continue to live up to
their treaty obligations with us, and af-
ford ample protection to the lives of
American citizens and security to Amer
lean property, the government of the
United States should not interfere in the
internal affairs of Mexico but allow the
Mexicans to settle their own troubles in
their own way.
LAS l have frequently said since this
trouble in Mexico began, think 1t would
be blunder worse than a crime for
the government of the United States to
invade Mexico. There are nearly 10000
American citizens in Mexico, and their
lives would be in jeopardy just as soon
as the troops Of the United States cross
ed the Mexican frontier This is a very
serious aspect of the case and deserves
from all in authority the greatest consid-
Grafton in reaching a conclusion. Again,
there is at least a billion dollars OF
American money invested in Mexico. and
the invasion of the country by the United
States would doubtless cause much OF it's
immediate destruction.
