mediation will settle the differences be.
tween the present factions that are
sucking the life and vitality out OF
Mexico. The United States has moth
ing to mediate with Huerta; 1t has
only an utimatum to enforce and IL
nally will have to restore peace for
Huerta either cannot or will not.
Again it must be said that there is
only one solution of the Mexican diff.
Guilty and that is intervention by the
United States, the restoration or peace.
the resumption of business, the educa-
ton of the masses of the people. and
withdrawal of our soldiers only when
Mexicans show ability to govern them,
selves. Such Intervention means war,
but if properly managed the war need
not result in excessive bloodshed or
the tanning of national bitterness
Nevertheless it will be war. because
it will be one country controlling by
military force, the government of an
other nation. 1t is the duty Of this
United States to stop the rebellions
that are making a desert Of the fertile
fields OF Mexico.
Mexico is wonderfully rich country
rich in soil, in forests, and minerals
1t will take immense amounts of CAPT
tai and human labor to develop the
resources of the country; but capital
is not going to be invested in Mexico
until the country has government
that has some respect for human life
and property rights. Property rights
represent the guarantee of the title
to the product of human endeavor. The
rights of life and property are insep
arabic. Mexico as a nation cannot
permanently prosper until it has an
established government that will guar
antee those rights to its inhabitants
whether citizens of that country or not
The method that will bring abou,
that result the quickest should be the
one to be adopted.
