except the President himself is en-
titled to speak with greater authority,
upon the problems of Latin America.
Discussing the possibility OF inter-
vention in Mexico (the article was
written before the fleet was ordered
to Tampico), DR.. Hale says e.
American army would have no physi-
cal difficulty in getting back out Of
Mexico; nobody would use it up be-
fore it got away; the difficulty would
be that greed and a. false sense Of
national honor would do their utmost
to KEEP us thr prmanntly in occupa-
patton" 5at; " ,,ag,w ,.
Do Not Want Mexico. -.
We d. Q wane, Mexico, he de-
clares; especially we do not want her
because we do not want the good Will
of the rest Of Latin America. 1T
would be a fools act indeed to barter
the confidence of a hemisphere for all
We could gain by annexing Mexico."!'
If armed Intervention should be
forced upon US, he continues, II pre-
dict that our forces will be ordered
home just as soOn as constitutional
order has been restored; = and that, SO
far as the power and influence OF
President Wilson can bring It Otpass,
nothing in the nature of al indemnity
either in money or land, will be asked
or will be accepted, But nobody can
predict how far the influence of the
vast American investments in Next

value by being brought under the
American flag, might 90 toward rem

We want in Mexico, and throughout
Central America is-order." .<ut-y .
The trouble with Central America,
DR.. Hale states, is it's proclivity for
revolution But, he says, most Cen.
trail American revolutions are PRO
noted from Europe in a regular way
of business, exactly as a real estate
scheme is promoted in America.
The duty of the United States is to
scrutinize each revolution by itself
and to judge whether 1t be or be not
morally justifiable," =
... Assumed 4 Duty. '%r3a
THAT duty the United States has
now assumed. When Mr.. Wilson took
steps to inform himself of the facts
regarding the Huerta coup d. gtat,
with a view to passing a moral judg'
ment upon the r%ightfulness of the de
facto government in Mexico City; he
took, it seems to me, the most far
reaching and fateful step which the
Monroe Doctrine has inspired in all
The process of it's evolution. =.
I'm the case of Mexico, judgment
was easy. The coup d'gtat- that over
threw Madero in February, 1913, was
in no way a revolution 1t was
barracks plot, q conspiracy. of a few
army officers, financed by, Cientifcos
living in, exile and a few Spanish re
dictionaries. 1t was attended by cir
cumstances Of treachery SO e%xecrable
of villainy so fantastic. of cruelty 50
barbarous, that the story IS one
which the mind has difficulty in &C
cepting as credible.
