MEXICO

II is no exaggeration to say that
the Mexican situation is one Of
profound gravity, and it will take
the wisest exercise Of statesman
ship to avoid trouble. Mexico is
not afraid of the United States.
She only fears Texas. We can
whip her to a standstill in very
short time, but she willnot remain
whipped, and on her good behavior
1t will probably require an army
Of 100000 to preserve order in
Mexico, and the soldiers would
have to be kept in that country
for at least generation. A war
with Mexico would amount to
little, but the aftermath would
amount to much, and those iingoes
who are trying to hurl President
Wilson into a war should be
ignored.
