AND STILL MEXICO.

And still Mexico-though Mexico is
not still. The problem.is there and will
be for many years.
It is not within the power of President
Wilson, or any other man, or any mum.
Der of men, to change Mexico for at
least two generations.
The United States can and may take
charge of that country and try to govern
it, but it will still be Mexico.
Mr.. Wilson may eliminate Huerta, but
what nextY
Any other Mexican president will still
be Mexican.
What Mexican presidents have been
history proves, and nothing better can
be expected IN the future. Huerta has
been only emulating the example of
Diaz. the dictator.
just now with their country torn by a
half dozen separate ''rebelliops'', with a
government" which everybody knows
was baptised in the blood of the assasi-
mated Madero, with the whole country
practically in state of anarchy, the
Mexican people are united in only one
sentiment, ''Death to the gringo."
1t is becoming evident that President
Wilson expects to starve Huerta out,
for want of money. 1t is also becoming
evident that this policy may be success
full. But what then? Will the rebel
factions unite? Will the present sup.
porters of Huerta agree with each other
or with the rebels?
In other words is there any possible
hope that Mexico at the present can
become self.governing country? And
if not what follows?
The prospect is not pleasant, but it
looks to us as inevitable. The United
States must step in and govern that un.
happy country until it is able to govern
itself. And if this is the inevitable, it
might as we'll be done now as to wait
until there are more assasinations and
brigand rebellions.
Perhaps the very hatred of the United
States might act as the best possible
means of bringing the Mexicans to their
senses in case of our forcible govern.
ment. 1t acts that way sometimes.
The whole world is looking to the
United States to make peace and good
government in Mexico. President Viii
son has problem that must be answer.
ed-in some way soon. That he will do
the very best he can, everybody believes;
but he is human and it would take
srperhuman power to make Mexican
other than Mexican.
