MEXICO CITY. oct. 25.- Gen.
Huerta has boldly thrown down the
gauntlet TO the United States. In the
most bellicOse statement which has
come from the national palace he
said
Should the United states fail TO
recognize the established Mexican
government. il Will run the risk Of
precipitating in Mexico a crisis which
might bring the government in Wash
ingtOn face TO face with foreign gov
ernments and which might result in
the setting aside of the Monroe doc
trine.'
Huerta defended his own dictator
ship, saying:
The best government Mexico ever
had is by a few and il viii be a long
time before Mexico will have any 9TH
er kind OF government.
Washington can give no sufficient
answer TO the people of the United
States, nor the people of Europe. if
through its conduct a consequence so
repugnant to the universal sense of
justice is brought about
IF a crisis is forced on Mexico no
mere blockading Of the ports OF Mexi-
co Will be of any value for the col
lection Of interest and principal of
anybody's debts. and as the United
States IS, by its proximity. the only
country which can enforce the will of
a foreign power on Mexico by troops.
the result would in the long run mean
that the people OF the United States
would be involved IL conflict which
would cost in addition 10 at least 250.-
000 lives. more money tnan the entire
foreign investment an Mexico. There
can be no sufficient reason given for
permitting such a calamity TO occur.
