BANKERS FOR SHARP
MEXICAN CAMPAIGN
Wall Street Hopes for Complete
Abandonment Of Oppor-
tunist Policy.
EASY TO RAISE WAR FUNDS
Issue of Treasury Notes the Best
Means, According to Finan-
cial Leaders.

One OF the leading International bank
ers Of New York said yesterday that a
policy on the part OF thls Government of
sharp. aggressive. thoroughgoing cam
pajgn AGAINST Mexico backed by naval
and army movements OF overwhelming
power, and with complete abandonment
Of the policy of "watchful waiting" in any
Of It's forms. would result in pronounced
stimulation OF business and general pros-
perity throughout this country. In this
opinion he was backed by other leaders In
the financial district
Any return. however to the vaCillating
policy as. they characterized the attitude
OF this Government toward Mexico from
the beginning. would he so dlshcartcnins
that business would slump mi -rably, ac-
cording TO the financial leaders.
The DOMINANT note In the comment OF
bankers was that there are two things
possible 20 do in Mexico in order 20
benefit the United States: one is to lose
no time In ousting Huerta and pacifying
the country and the other is to recognize
his Government. AS recognition now IL
impuss BILE !: was held that the alternative
REQUIRES action Of the most speedy and
ovcrpowerins kind.
Although the bankers and others made
II plain yesterday that they are solidly
back of the Government In financial and
moral support of sharp action AGAINST
Mexico. there was IN evidence "A note OF
disappointment that the Presidents mes
sage did not call for decisive action that
wound have warranted greater cntIusi-
asm. There were indications in the mes
sage. as read in Wall street. that q 3
nf pt,rgttgH hN the
Government thus far is also to be fol-
lowed in the naval and military action
against Huerta. Bankers expressed the =
selves strongly IN the hope that I'll. Ad-
mntstration would .mu, d!ately determine

COMPETITION.
The Kind That Wins.

In fair competition lies the true
sport of good business. There Is no
calling, no profession, or occupation.
equal to it for absorbing interest and
endless succession of exciting Incl
dent. But 1t should be that kind Of
a healthy competition and friendly
rivalry that does not strain neigh
borly relations. On the contrary, It
should tend to bring those men to-
gether who are engaged in a similar
business for the purpose Of free dis.
cussion and publicity OF opinion.
Unfortunately, this does not often
occur. Men engaged in a like busi-
ness sometimes get too friendly, com.
bine their interests, and form a com.
bination. contrary to the laws Of tho
realm.
Others enter into a bitter personal
conflict with each other, endeavoring
with might and main to throw ignom-
my upon and disrespect for the house
Of their competitors and their goods.
The intensity Of the competitive
struggle Is subject to a great deal Of
variation. At times 1t may be char
acterized as c~ut-throat, where tho
slashing of prices has for its object
the elimination of one or more of
the contestants. Each competitor Ia
confronted by the ever-present threat
that II his service Is poor, or the
quality Of his goods is not up to the
standard. some other house Of bust.
ness will outstrip him. But the house
that considers service, high quality
and no more than a fair profit as the
paramount factors in business, is the
one that in the long run is sure to win.
