Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-27

II VERY government in the
world knows that the per-
son and the property of a
British subject, wherever located,
must be adequately protected
against injury or wrong.
Failure to accord this protection
invariably results injuriously TO
the government through whose
neglect or conniVance the wrong
may have been suffered. So in
evitable is the punishment meted
out to those concerned in doing
violence to the rights of a British
subject, in the most remote and
inaccessible parts of the world,
that the subjects or citizens of
other foreign countries are on
that account treated with a con-
sideration often denied to the cit
izens of weak governments even
in their home countries.
What is the result of this un-
varying British policy? The i'm
munity of her subjects from in
jury and wrong in all parts Of
the world Great Britain's repu-
tation has been so thoroughly es-
tablished in this regard that it is
seldom that she is now called up
on to demonstrate anew her ad
herence to the fixed and relent-
less principles upon which it is
based
A Briton, wherever he may be,
therefore, has a conscious assur-
ance at all times that a great
compelling and Irresistible force
stands ever ready to protect his
person and his property, or exact
the uttermost in punishment and
in reparation for the violation of
either While the same is true,
in a measure, of other nations, it
is equally true of none. Where
fore a British subject is usually
accorded a fuller exercise of his
rights than are the subjects or
citizens of other countries
countries more lax in the asser-
ton of the inviolability Of the
persons and the property of their
citizens.
Take the case of w. S. Benton,
a British ranch owner in Mexico,
who has been executed by the
Mexican commander OF an insur-
gent army. 1t becomes on the
instant one of deep and acute in
ternational concern.
Hundreds of American men and
women have been butchered or
outraged in Mexico. Nothing has
been done.
But-the first Erglishman kill
ed rouses Mexico and the world.
That Great Britain will exact
punishment and reparation If
there is injustice or wrong no
body doubts. The eyes of all the
world are focused upon distressed
and disordered Mexico, and the
constant prayer of humanity is
that peace and order may be
quickly restored and thereafter
permanently maintained in that
blood stained and distracted re-
public. And it is there that
Great Britain finds herself COM
PEELED to enforce the principles
upon which she and her subjects
have believed themselves secure
in foreign countries.
We may be sure that the Brit

ish policy will not be one OF
"watchful waiting" as her sub
jects are lined up against adobe
walls and shot to death. We may
be equally certain that Great
Britain will neither formally nor
inferentially advise her subjects
Ito flee the country" in order to
save either their lives or their
property
So long as the forces at the
command of Great Britain are
equal to the maintenance of the
rights Of her subjects, in any part
of the world. the world knows
that they will be enforced to the
uttermost, not by craven with
drawal and the sacrifice of prop
erty rights, but by the protec-
tion of the constituted authorities
of the countries in which they
happen to be.
The world does not expect hesi-
tation or faltering by Great Brit
ain; on the contrary, it expects
action-action that will give re-
newed assurance to British sub
jects that their persons and their
property will be safeguarded,
wherever located, or punishment
and reparation exacted for the
violation of either
Contrast the situation devel-
oped by the murder of British
subject with that that has long
existed while scores Of Americans
have been ruthlessly murdered
The attitude Of our Government
gives our citizens no assurance of
immunity from violence or wrong
beyond the confines of our own
territory. The restraining inf1u-
ence begotten of a knowledge that
punishment will be inflicted and
reparation secured for injury to
the person or destruction of the
property of our citizens does not
exist in any part of Mexico, least
of all along that great stretch Of
territory that joins our own.
Sovereign nation that we be-
heve ours to be. we find we justly
rank far below Great Britain in
the eyes of Mexico and the world.
The persons and the property of
our citizens suffer irreparable
wrongs as a consequence. Wrongs
that never would have been in
f1icted had f1rmness instead of
weakness been the controlling
policy Of our Government as it
has been of Great Britain's.
And if, in the end, the demands
of Great Britain compel the Unit
ed States to intervene in Mexico,
to secure punishment of those re-
sponsible for the murder of Ben
ton, to exact 1eparation to the
fullest extent possible, and to pre-
serve the sacredness of our Mon
roe Doctrine, incidental to which
punishment is meted out to those
responsible for the murder of
Americans and the theft or de-
struction of their property, will
not our cheeks burn and our blood
tingle with the modification and
humiliation to which the inexor-
able necessities of the circum-
stances subject us as a people and
as a nation?
When shall the Eagles scream
be as powerful to protect its peo-
pie as the Lions growl?
