agents and orators it is endeavoring
to shape events so that it may select
his successor or, failing that, estab-
lish an American protectorate over
Mexico!
Big business does not want Carran-
"a as president Of Mexico, because
Carranza has announced that he will
follow in the footsteps of Madero.
Therefore, big business is opposed to
any alliance betweeen this country
and Carranza, and is insisting that
We must make war on both the Con-
stitutionalists and the followers of
means an attemept to conquer Mex
leo and to subjugate its 15,OOO.O00
people.
Such a task would require half a
million men, billion of money. and
years of time. AS Senaotr Borah de-
clared the other day: THAT would
be a moral and political crime"
If on the other hand We can con-
fine our operations to a prosecution
of war on Huerta, our task will be
greatly simplified.< We can over
throw the dictator. arrange for an
election in Mexico, recognize the new
president and withdraw our forces.
Undoubtedly President Wilson has
something like this in mind. and he
will execute if he is not interfered
with.
But the Tories. egged on by big
business, are doing everything in
their power to drive Carranza and
Villa into the arms of Huerta.
Many of the Constitutionalist lead
ers have confidence in Wilson and
Bryan and believe implicitly in their
good intentions, but others are sus
picious and point to the speeches
which are being delivered every day
by the Tories and to the editorials
which are constantly appearing in
business as convincing evidence Of
Gilpin observer., 1914-04-30

our hypocrisy.
Senator Borah expressed the views
of these Doubling Thomases" when
he said On the floor of the senate
the other day:
"The reason why the United
States is unpopular and suspected is
because, while protesting friendliness
to these smaller nations (Mexico
and other Latin-American countries)
we are in subtle and devious ways
constantly encroaching upon and in
gratiating ourselves into their af-
fairs, with the ultimate object, as
the world believes, of taking poses
sion of them and controlling their
sovereignty"
If the leaders of the Constitution
alists can be pursuaded that our en-
emies are right and that we have de-
signs on the sovereignty of Mexico,
then, of course they will unite with
Huerta. If Wilson and Bryan can
convince them that we are sincere
in our profession, they will assail
the dictator from the north while our
boys hold Vera Cruz or march ON the
City Of Mexico from the east.
In such crisis no loyal American
will utter a word or commit an act
which will add to the perplexities of
the administration or increase the
number of those who will face our
army in the field. The senator or
editor who does anything calculated
to weaken the Constitutionalists
faith in the presidents plighted word
is giving aid and comfort" to Huer-
ia to as great an extent as If he
supplied our enemy with arms, am
munition and money, and he is there
fore guilty of treason to the lepub-
lie.
In this connection statement
credited to General Villa is interest
ing and encouraging:
Why" said Villa, "all Europe
would laugh at us if we went to war
with the United States. They would
say that little drunkard Huerta has
drawn them into a tangle at last"

knew that Wilson and Bryan would
not unsheath the sword except as
last resort, and SO when the presi-
dent told us that the time for action
had arrived we rallied to his support
-gravely but with genuine loyalty
and fervor
OF course. there were exceptions
some men could not put aside their
partisan passions and become pa
triots in an hour. They indulged in
carping criticism of the presidents
course, and outlined, with many pom
derous platitudes, what they would
do were they in his place.
The tories of the senate even sug-
gested that 1t might require a week
to amend and debate the Flood reso-
luton. and under the rules of that
august body there was no way to
throw and tie" them.
Then the president proved him
self worthy successor of "Old Hick-
ory'' and while the tories talked and
talked and talked, he ordered Fletch-
er to seize the custom house at Vera
from securing the shipload of war
supplies which he was expecting from

les were confounded. but they con-
tinue to snarl at the presidents
heels. They appreciate that he is han
ding a very delicate situation. but
instead of advising and sustaining
him, they are seeking to render his
position as difficult as possible. We
are told that treason consists of 'giv-
ing aid and comfort to the enemies
Of ones country. II that be a cor
rect definition. many of these Tories
are approaching the line which div
ides senatorial privilege from dis
loyalty to the nation and. in my hum.
BILE judgment, some of them have
crossed that line.
Back Of the Tories looms the fig
ure of big business. Big business
has big investments In Mexico. 1t
owns great ranches, immense smell
ters, rich mines and valuable con-
cessions of one kind or another. Big
business acquired these holdings un-
der the regime of Porfirio Diaz. who
gave the lands of Mexico to few
favorites and endeavored to make
the masses of the Mexican people
slaves.
Big business loved and supported
Diaz and hated and opposed Madero.
Madero was the antithesis of Diaz.
Ee stood for the many against the
few. He wanted Mexico for the Mexi
cans and not for foreign or domestic
concessionaries.
When big business induced Huerta
to betray Madero 1t thought 1t had
found second Diaz, but Wilson's re-
fusal to recognize the assassn-dic-
tator spoiled its plans.
Big Business Schemina.
