here offered.
at is a story OF violence and anarchy
in Mexico. Lying behind It are hundreds
Of American lives sacrificed and hundreds
of millions of American property de
stroyed. Lying behind II is condition
Of anarchy In Mexico which makes II i'm
possible TO secure protection for American
life and property in that country through
diplomatic means.
Lying behind II Is condition OF aaffirs
which makes that country incapable OF
performing its Internal onal obligations
insult 10 tne nag Is ou. pas. vi .ns
of II is a long series of af.ronts to rights
which IL is the duty Of this country &c
protect
Lying back Of II Is a condition OF
Affairs in Mexico which absolutely pre-.
vents the protection OF American life and
property and the respect for the Ameri.
can flag.
THE real object TO be attained by the
course We are asked to approve Is not the
qualification OF personal pride. 1t il the
preservation of the power Of the United
states to protect its citizens under these
conditions. II we omit from the resolu-
ton passed tonight the essential facts
Of tho substitute we omit the real object
that forms the justification for our action
otnerwise we are everlastingly wrong.
with such action-the adoption OF the
Lodge substitute-the action OF the United
states Will rest with becoming sense OF
proportion and national dignity upon an
ADEQUATE foundation
