cashza correctly foftt the principles governing the
relations OF the countries.
They clearly forth during the past years. by
both President Wilson and Secretary Of State Bryan
the principle that Mexico is ndepend-
country and must be left 20 work out its own salvation with
out interference by outsiders 49,
The fact that under treaties guaranteeing protection thou
Americans had settled in Mexico and invested hundreds
of millions Of dollars and the further fact that these Amer

stable governmen established in that country 1t is possible
of course that the evidence may have disappeared by then
fault Washington government which repre-
the American people whole and the whole people have
not been injured consequently the must seek the
good for the number it must not take action which
might lead war
Moreover war would cost people as whole
the by American citizens Mexico This demonstrates that
matter Of dollars and cents will not pay fight Mexico
This settles the question. ~
The that sitywo people the American border
Of Nao have been shot by Mexcans the boundary line dur
ing few weeks affords just ground forceu action
BY the United States American precedent settles this point also
The principle long announced by the administration
that shooting American citizens by Mexans for
reference by the United States
The department Of many
Americans who have been killed in Mexico but the persistent and
consistent American ruling has been that this affords no excuse for
manifest that ii United States stop its
citizens from being shot Americans will be shot in
sbe ensuing than will be the case we exercise secontro
our Indignation and rely upon the state to add
the unfortunate Naco incidents the list and eventually get
verdict for full damages for every injury inflicted American
citizen. sN .
regrettable that an early consideration Of these claims
improbable and that collection Of damages may be impossible when
awarded but the United States responsible there
for It is of embarrassing features of the but have
the compromising knowledge that peace being preserved few
will be averted
The fact that the American citizens now being shot are on
American soil and that those previously shot in Mexico makes
no difference in principle
American citizen who IS not worth protecting on one side
Of the border line is not worth protecting on the other
The principle definitely stated in the Presidents early
Americans in MexcoIf you don't to be
shot of Mexico do look the American
for protection To attempt such protection would involve with
Mexico and there will be under this administration
In accordance with this dctum the Americans got OF Mex
coabandoning their abarely escaping with their lives and
there was no war. s.a lossI4EG .@s na. z"
The principle applies to the Americans in Naeo.
We must not and will not, have warl ,
staying Of Mexican bullets makes possible
then let the Inhabitants OF Naco move Of reach of the bullets
Il futile argue that they have the lawful right live peace
ably in Naco that the Constitution and laws of the United States
guarantee them the protection Of rights and that the Me
the law breakers and aggressors
In view Of the precedens this is absurd argument
The Americans in Mexico had the lawful right live peaceaby
in that country the protective of the Constitution and laws
Of the United States not limited by geographical lines and the
Meeans the law breakers and aggesso in that and
yet the the south side Of the border line had got
Why should American the north side Of the line be
ed any differently?
The American citizens OF Naco might we'll recognize
they have rights which Mexican is bound to respect
The administration Washington has spoken and its dctum
is law. y+rgr4. ,.a.ss40sE .,s4
