NOT FOUGHT TO END.
In line with the statement of General
Villa that he would Danish all Spaniaris
known to have opposed the rebels and
that he would exterminate all Huerta IN
fuences, the following has been given
publicity here as representing the motives
behind the revolution:
The trouble with the Madero revolu.
ton was that 1t was not fought to q
finish. After Diaz fell the greater part of
his regime survived and crippled Madero.
The Madero administration formed too
generous compromise with beaten
enemy. The danger Of revolution will
continue until the reform elements
triumph completely. until the country Is
purged Of the scientific influence and
until we are rid of landlordism
In brief the remedy for revolution is
a thorough revolution. 1t Is th!s fact
that causes Carranza to reject all offers
of compromise since such comprises con-
tain the seeds Of endless disturbance"

discussion Of the immigration bill in

debate as to just what the action of
