committee, assured the house today
that should General Villa attempt to
invade the United States, the state of
Texas would undertake to protect the
federal government and It's army. Mr..
Slayden was replying in sarcastic vein
to Representative McKellar's statement
that the army was inadequate to per-
form it's functions.
Repres entative Mondell, republican
OF Wyoming, in an attack on the Mex
lean policy in the house today, pre-
dicted that in the event of the const1-
tutionalists overthrowing Huerta, there
would follow a reign of rape and ra-
pine, plumber and murder that would
spread all over Mexico.
"The recent cold blooded murder or
whichever it may prove to have been,
of the ranchman, Benton, at Juarez,"
MondeIl declared, has served TO throw
sinister light on the character of
the constitutionalist commander from
the north, but neither surprise nor
revelation to those who have been fol-
lowing developments in Northern Mex
leo.
at simply serves to throw into re-
lief the character Of the forces of
barDar1Sm anu OuLldWEy WHICH al re thS
backwash of the Madero revolution,
utterly devoid of all the humanitarian
and patriotic instincts that inspired
that unfortunate man."
In a speech attacking the pension
policy of the government, Representa-
tive Dies, democrat of Texas, today
warned against Mexican Intervention.
eff there IS anything that ought TO
make a prudent man pause in this
Mexican situation. it Is the thought Of
the pension" he said. when you I'M
frrl the American flag in Mexico, it
will stay there until the doomsday
book is opened. There will be no Gu
banking of Mexico. it will have to be
divided up into sister states of this
uniorl, for il is contiguous territory"
