mn.a"red md robbed they will sottIet the affairs down in Mexico to suit themselves
 II may not be a bad idea at all Sort "f "'"t ic"rar do it" it will save u-I ' a."d deal of troul}, and c>p,us In1 good man, lives
 All of these reasons uc Vel, goo5I .r"s why the rnitcd states shoul1 slt calmly by and let the merry Mex joanos go right ahead with their mln, der and their robbery.
 But perhaps we will realize befor very long that there are still other, reasons which are equally potent. !,
 There Is 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 bv the world in good faith. is concerned.
 This country Is Brazil. As great and a rich almost as Is Mexico.
 So far as the United States is con cerncd the policy adopted toward Mexico in the present crisis would nc ih" same as that adopted towards any other country of Latin American. We must if We stand by our published .i"rtrur treat one the same as wc  Hf"at another. Europe has always cN- Iectrd us to maintain the peace anl| r." protect her interests on this sid,| of the ocean as we implied that w. would do when we told her that she must keep off
 The experts of the war department claim that il would take at least three hundred thousand perhaps half d million. men to successfully iuvad. NI,Nico
 That is of course q good many men but we could get them if necessary.
 But, ir because they have killed q ecod many Americans and some Euro leans in Mexico and have destroyed millions of dollars worth of forrig,t pr prrty belonging to citizens of this and other nations. we should invade Mexico with half million men what is to prevent the powers of Europe.
 Id the people uf the United States from demanding that We do the sam" in Brazil if the revolution which has just started in that country reaches Inc stage where intervention seems u,rrssary?
 That would mean another half mil lion men for Brazil is also large. at. and state which would be as hard to operate over as is Mexico. r If both of these volcanos are eruption at the same time and we at tempt to qucnch them both We would have to have an army of million m,n in the field And it would no. he for six months or a year. It might take tw" or even three years
 Then again, revolution is "catching." With Mexico and Brazil in revolt it is lnrrc than likely that Venc2urla would promptly follow their example. Ti,err is always ;e fire smouldering in Ncuozucla. Another hundred thousand men or so. And Argentine, Peru. Boli- via Paraguay, Costa Rico and the Lalf dozen other little states clustered about south and Central America. An ether millionu men for us to send into the field if they should all kick over the traces at the same time And rev ulution is certainly catching"
 It would he very expensive for us to try and do the police work in all of ttDsr tough wards of America. and at best we would only be pulling good many ch"s'nuts out of the fire for Europe and perhaps weakening our selves so as to invite attack from Japan.
 Can it he that that astute man. Mr Wilson. had all of this in mind when II decided not to interfere in Mexico ne matter how many Americans were murdered in cold blood.
 It may be that Mir Wilson could see the storm about to break in Brazil. It may he that he sees storms brewing ir others of the Latin American states ana that he is wise enough to know that We would have very large con tract on our hands if we attempted to whip them all at the same time Alr. Wilson may have foreseen all of this and have known, which is quite true. that if We accept the responsi- hility of quieting one of these turbu l2nt states We must quiet them all. If Mir. Wilson saw all of this and if his hesitation in regard to Mexico is based upon his vision then he is d very wise man indeed. But in tho l,ttne of all international squareness ii we are not going to accept tho re-
