WHY BUILD EMBASSY
IN T0TTER|NG MEXICO?
Representative Wingo of Arkansas
Believes United States Will Own
Whole Country.

Before the passage in the House yes
terday of the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill. carrying approximately
$5,OOO.OO0. Representative Wingo Of Ar
kansas. declared that eventually the
United States would have to invade Mexi-
CO. and establish the sovereignty of the
Stars and Stripes from Canada to the
Panama canal.
Mr.. Wingo's speech was called forth
by his unwillingness to vote for an item
of $4,000 for the acquisition of site
and building for an embassy in Mexico
City. He argued that he believed the
United States would soon own Mexico
80 why spend money on an embassy
there?
Only Question Of Time.
I'VE may be able to patch up peace
now," he said. but the history of Mex
leo shows what? We have upon our
border a lawless. turbulent people. The
history of Mexico for 400 years has been
one of strife, revolution, anarchy and
despotism.
It do not want war; I hope 1t can be
averted But I am not cherishing flu
sions that we may have permanent peace
in Mexico until we go in there and take
possession Of that country.
Whether IL be wise. whether 1t be
proper, whether it be good for the ulti
mate welfare of this republic is not the
question. but think know the temper
Of the American people. think I have
read correctly the history OF this country.
Whether you do 1t this year or next year.
think those hearing me will live to
sit In a Congress that will see the Mex
ican border pushed to tho Panama
canal"
Representative Kahn Of California sug-
gested to Mr.. Wingo that he was not in
accord with President Wilson's Mobile
speech. Mr.. Wingo replied:
Mr.. Wingo for Peace.
IT have found 1t never served any use
full purpose to try to figure on being
in accord with a speech. I think a man
ought to follow. in his public life. a
general rule. But whether I agree with
it or not, I am willing to pass on every
proposition that the President puts up,
when 1t comes up.
1T agree with him in his efforts to
maintain peace I think It is the duty Of
every one to help uphold his hands in
his efforts to bring order out OF chaos.
I hope it may yet be done.
Representative Bartholdt Of Missouri.
peace advocate. suggested that for
five millions Of dollars there could be
erected in twenty-five foreign capitals
homes for American legations.
How much do you think an expedition
to Mexico for the purpose of subduing

American territory would costT asked

FEARS EVENTUAUT|ES
AFTER HUERTA GOES
Guy Marean, Back From Mexico,
Anticipates Great Loss
Of Life.

Guy Marean. an electrical engineer.
who has been connected with the Guiana
juto Company. an American concern op-
Grating In the state Of Michocan, Mexico.
has Just returned to Washington with his
wife and three children.
They were escorted to Mexico City by
federal troops. and after a week spent
at the Huerta capital went to Puerto
Mexico where they boarded the United
States transport Hancock for New Or
leans.
"The situation is becoming more of a
complex problem since the army and
navy of the United States landed in
Vera Cruz said Mr.. Marean at his resi-
dence. 400 Avenue of the Presidents,
last evening. The one great question. Of
course is-what will happen after the
elimination OF Huerta- l cannot bring
myself to believe the statements I have
heard since my return to the United
States. that there Is some sort of tacit
or indirect understanding between the
Carranza and Villa forces and anybody
who has official or military authority to
act for this government. When Huerta
goes there will be thousands and thou
sands Of the natives who will deeply re-
sent any sort of interference by the
American government This is because
they do not understand. They cannot
fight in the open, but it will be hard
proposition to bring them around to a
point where order will be restored.
Americas Motives Doubted.
''It would have been much easier to
accomplish a month ago. or even since
our forces took Vera Cruz. For despite
the protestations that there Is no war
and that a state OF war does not exist in
Mexico, he is a wise philosopher indeed
who can convince the average middle
class citizen in the southern and western
Mexican states that the United States Is
actuated by the altogether altruistic
declarations of many of our citizens, in
Congress and out.
THE good ships Fellowship and Friend
ship will be put to their strongest test
before law and order again prevails in
myself, have lived in Mexico for more
than five years, fear is that there will
be greater loss of life than Is antici-
pated. The Mexicans are not towards
have the strongest kind of loyalty to
their flag. but their military instruction
has not improved much since the inva-
sion of Gen Taylor in 1S46
Il am Of the opinion that the rank and
file of the constitutional army, despite
any efforts Of Villa, will not cooperate
with the armed forces of the United
States in any plan of reconstruction for
the republic to the south Of us. Hence,
our strong arm must be used. and drastic
methods of force and war be employed
before there is anything like pacifica-
tion.''
Mr.. Marean is stopping at the homo of
his father-in-law. F. w. Fitzpatrick. but
hopes to return with other members of
his company to Michocan, where they
left their plant in charge OF the natives.
