when the countries of Europe have ia,d enough of seeing their people

 All uf these rt4isons are very good
 'nes why the United States should l sit calmly by and let the merry Mex
 icanus go right aheid with their mur der md their robbery.
 But perhaps we will realize befor.
 very long that there are still other reasons which are equally potent. There ts another great country. ly- Ing to the south of Us. Farther away than Is Mexico. to be sure. but never tfeless in the same class in so far as our former alleged foreign policy which has hitherto been accepted by the world in good faith. is concerned. This country is Brazil. As great and as rich almost as is Mexico. So far as the United States is con cerned the policy udopted toward | Mexico in the present crisis would he the snme as that adopted towards uny | other country of Latin American. w" must. if we stand by our published doctrine, treat one the same ns we treat another. Europe has always cv pccted us to maintain the peace ani |" protect her interests un this sid" | nr tn. ocean us we implied that WI would do when we told her thai shr must Keep oT.
 The experts of thc War department 1 three hundred thousand. perhaps half ; d million, men to successfully invad, | N, Xi,o.
 I That is uf course a good many men hut wc could get them If necessary. i:it. if, because they have killed Il I:,.d many Americans and some Eur'- ,r.,ns in Mexico and have destroyed millions of dollars worth of foreign pr, perty helunging to citizens of this and other nations. we should invade l Mexico with half a million men whi | Is to prevent the powers of Eur"p! .f if,ut from demanding that we do the sam | ir Brazil if the revolution which has just started in that country reaches the stage where intervention seems n. ccssary.'
 That would mean another half mil . lion men. fer Brazil is also n larg' .,,t,. and a state which would be ":' hard to operate over as is Mexico. If both of these volcanos are [ eruption at the same time and We at tempt to uuench them both We would 1 have to have an army of millio'. l mrn In the field. And it would n": be for six months pr a year. It might l take two ar even three years
 Then again. revolution is 'catching.' '' With Mexir" and Brazil in revolt It iS mcrc than likely that Nenczueia would promptly follow their example. Tlere Is always Il fire smouldering in Vcuczucla. Another hundred thousand men ar s". And Argentine. Peru. H"li- viu. Paraguay Costa Rico and the ialf dozrn other little states clustered ah"ut south and Central America. An cihrr miIlionu men for iis to send int.' the field if they should all kick over the traces at the same time And rcv- oluticn is certainly catching" IL would bc very expensive for us to try and do the police work in all If IL. sc tough wards nf Amcrica. and at mst We would only he pulling good many chcstnuts out of the fire for l:ulupe and perhaps weakening our selves so as to invite attack from Japan.
 Can it hc that that astutc man. Mir. Wilson, had all of this in mind when h. decided not {" interfere in Mrxir' nr matter how many Americans wcr.' murdered in gold blood.
 It may hr that Mir. Wilson c"uld see the storm about f" break in lsr;'zil. It may he that he secs storms hrcwin: ir others nf the Latin American states utui thal he k wise enough {" know tLal We would have a very large con tract on our hands if We attempted to whip them all at the same time.
 Mr. Wilson may havc f"rcsccn all "f this .ind hnvc known, which k quite true. that Ii WI accept the rcsponsi- bility uf uuicting ono of these turlu- lant states we must quiet them all.
 If Mr. Wilson saw all of this and if his hesitation in regard to Mexico is based upon his vision then he Is q
