SCORES WILSON'S
MEXICAN POLICY
J. M. c. Smith Says U. S. Must
Raise Flag Over Capital of
Republic.

Incident TO a Decoration Day address
in the House today. Congressman J. NJ.
c. Smith of Michigan scored the Admin
istration's Mexican policy.
IF what has gone on in Mexico calls
for mediation, when might war ensue?''
ne asked.
Recently we have witnessed every in
dignity that can be offered against a
nation-insults to our flag; murder to
our citizens upon olr own territory;
slaughter. plunder and rapine against
Peaceful American citizens residing in
Mexico; our troops fred upon and shot
our consuls imprisoned and court-mar-
tailed. The property Cf oIr citizens has
been looted and destroyed. and they
made to abandon everything and flee
for their ransomed lives. The country
OF Mexico here on ire very threshold
Of the Republic in this enlightened
twentieth century Is undergoing a loot
ing and barbarism that has never been
eclipsed in any age or cline.
Il have many times wondered Il We
are meeting our full responsibility in
Mexico and doing our duty.
Il am for raising our flag in Mexico
until peace is restored, and a stable
government established. and I am for
keeping II UP until every citizen and
country is indemnified for this loss No
other country but the United States can
restore order in Mexico; no other coun-
try can secure a stable government
there but the United States. And no
other country can give the Inhabitants
of Mexico better government than the
United States In the end action must
be taken by the United States"

Gated to the President conviction that
