What Intervention Would Mean.

If intervention were undertaken by
us it would be with the announce
ment of unselfish motives. Our Gov
eminent would proclaim to the world
people from themselves; to help them
establish conditions of peace, order,
and justice; to protect the lives and
property alike of Mexicans and OF
foreigners, and to gain neither ter
ritorial advantage nor political ascen-
dancy for itself. There would be all
sorts of renunciatons in advance.
Congress. by joint resolution. would
pledge the honor of the United States
to a merely temporary occupation.
and to a full withdrawal as soon as
order had been restored We should
have won in the end. and established
apparent peace: but we should soon
have withdrawn and Mexico would
still have its own future to work out
Meanwhile, we should have sent
several hundred thousands of our
young men into Mexico, with the
sacrifice of many lives with the public
expenditure of from five hundred mil
lions to thousand millions of dollars
and private economic sacrifice ana
loss to far greater extent. 1t is
true, as Senator Sheppard admits,
that the desperate conditions in Mex
leo have resulted in the unfortunate
loss of the lives of Americans and
other foreigners. and in the annihi
lation of property interests to large
amount But a war of Intervention
would destroy all that remains of
foreign property in Mexico before
peace could be established besides
the incomparably greater economic
sacrifices involved in the expense of
our undertaking The Pro
gress of the World" in the American

Pres. Wilson's Stand for Humanity.

When Woodrow Wilson declined to
recognize the Huerta Government in
Mexico, he gave his own country a
position of moral leadership on this
the permanent advancement of both
North and South America. That ac-
ton, supplemented by his speech at
Mobile last fall, has given the Latin
American peoples new conception
of the mission of the United States.
AS these peoples come to interpret
shat mission by the standards of Will
son and Bryan they will see that what
they have long believed to be the
frowning colossus of the North with
professions of amity on his lips but
with the lust of land and power in
his heart. is in reality a brother
whose only ambition is the peoples
-ood in all tho Americas, whose only
purpose is the conservation of the
Western hemisphere to liberty, to
progress, to fraternity
In refusing to acknowledge the
Huerta regime the President of the
United States in effect announced
that governments on the two Ameri-
can continents must have Il higher
basis than ahsolutism sired by treach-
cry and assassination The bcneficcnt
nd steadying effect OF his action
ran hardly be measured by the pre-
sent generation. It is a promise OF
freedom and opportunity to the Lands
