which We have prototypes in this country ato CON
tnualy showing antipahy toward thr United
States, which in some instances appears 90 be- posi-
tive animoslty, and IT is an exhibition pl short
sghtedness that reflects little lusirc upon N-xran

antipathy toward the United States Tor their
great neighbor on the North has done more Tor

Mexico has nothing to gam from bullyraggng
or deiying the United Staies-nothing TO gam
from any display Of antpaihy or animosity toward
the people who have proven themselves Mexico s.
friends While these neighbors Of ours have been
engaged in dcoimating their nation for three years
in wasting their substance and in destroying mill
ions Of dollars worth OF American property and
in sacrificing large number OF American lives. the
