Villa quit the border, exhumed the

States asked for an investigation, Great
Britain asked for one; Villa was in a
quandary. Then somebody suggested
that here was a good chance TO bring

Villa accepted the suggestion. Carranza
was given the facts. Villa then boldly
offered opportunities for an Internal onal
commission to investigate the body. and,
when the commission started, officials
of Carranza, who had hurried to Juarez,

are as follows:
|. Let us remember that as revo-
lutiOns We're necessary until the in
auguration Of the ballot for settling
questions affecting personal freedom, so
wars between nations are necessary un-
I'll some international congress is or
ganized to settle questions involving
racial freedom Hence when the time
comes for mediation in bringing the
present European conflict to a close, let
the people of this country arise in n
body through mass meetings, the press
and in every possible way to demand
that an International relations congress
hc substituted for armaments In set
Ting racial questions.
.. Let us not be hypocritical in our
talk about peace and International rela-
tons, expecting other nations to submit
their difficulties to such an international
Congrt So, and then be selfish In the en-
actmcnt of our own immigration, Gus
toms, trade and other laws affecting di-
rvCtly foreign nations. Instead of hold
ing peace NEE tinGs, the best way We can
bring about disarmament and an era
e peaceful prosperity is by frankly ac-
knowledgng to the world that We are
willing to unite with the other nations
in settling for the best good of the
world as whole the Japanese question,
tho Monroe Doctrine and such racial
questions in which we are concerned.
In other words, before Europe will seri-
ously consider our demands for peace
we must show her that We ourselves
are willing to give up something, and If
necessary make some real sacrifice for
the good Of all. Are we willing to do
this? If not, let us talk no more about
peace nor critlclse Germany until we
are.
