THE NExICAN SITUATION
 A WORLD AFFAIR.

Congressman William Kent of Cal ,ifor-lia, Ietorting to the jingo talk of Ifnter7e1 ton in Mexico by persons who seek intervention for selfish motives, has made a publis statement in Wash d1lzton upon the situation Those who 41elarnor Ioudest for intervention, he says are those who would be sure to let others do the fighting. Instead of bloody intervention to save American dollars in Mexico at the expense of ,American lives and the lives of those whose dollars are not at stake, he sug- tzests should intervention ever be necessary, joint action by the United
 States and European and South Amer tican powers to establish order in Mex .1co ssTte desire on the part of many lpeop1e that the federal government lsE1ou1d intervene in Mexico has sprung mot out of tEfe mind or the heart, but <oue of the pocket snok.'' Concern ing the methods of intervention should intervention -ever be necessary, MT Kent speaks as follows:
 asIntervention in Mexico by the : United states, sing1e-handed and ' alone, would, in the minds of the people of Mexico be interpreted as an , act dictated by selfish national inter
 est to be followed, as in the past, by taking over Mexicon territory. In one sense it might be a good thing for
 Mexico. because it would bring union among Mexicans where now there is
 strife. but the resisting of aggression .sezid result in the sacrifice of many

American lives as innocent and as valuable as the lives of those Amer jeans who have expatriated them selves for profit. We can neither Justify it as altruism or as being part of the white mans burden. War re- solves itself into the plain proposition of killing and being killed. see no reason why we should enter Mexico at any such cost of blood and treas ure, and I see every reason why we should not sacrifice our young men to a peculiarly ill-advised method of interfering with our neighbors. To my mind one thing should be done to have an understanding with Brazil Argentina and Chile, and with respon- sible European elements, whereby jointly and severa1ly, they with us should send Q. deputations to the city of Mexico to demand that war cease and that foundations be laid for a responsible and reputable government. It is folly to demand a form of gov ernment that would comply with our ideals of democratic ruler but at any rate, such an expedition would be needed, and by such joint action mo- tice would be served upon Mexico that the allies were there to estab- fish order and not to steal territory Such action could not b, resisted by Mexico
