Amends Not Sufficient.

the arrest was himself arrested. The

Salute Not Only Mission,
Representative Kelley
Tells House.
LIND HELPED CAUSE
DELAY ON RESOLUTION
His Explanation of Presidents
Attitude Toward Huerta
TrOublemaker.
From III. Tribun. Buresu


Washington, April 21.-Discussion OF
Mexico cropped out to-day in the
House during the debate on the naval
appropriation bill, but that body had
taken a recess until 10 a. m. to-mor-
row before news reached the capital
Of the seizure Of Vera Cruz.
All day the House waited for the
Senate 10 act on the amended Flood
resolution, the belief being that the
lower chamber would accept any reso-
luton adopted by the Senate and salts
factory to the President.
That John Lind, recently special rep
resentative OF the President In Mex
leo. was unWittingly the cause Of
part OF the opposition 10 the resolution
in the House last night became known
to-day. Mr.. Lind, in conversation with
2 minority member, casually mentioned
that the President was still determined
10 eliminate Huerts, and that this had
actuated the administration 70 take ac-
ton following the Tampico incident.
The minority member TO whom Mr..
Lind confided this bit Of Information
spread the news among his colleagues
and there followed the belief that the
Presidents antsgonism TO Huerta was
TOO personal, so that the resolution ne
had approved was characterized as an
instrument directed at an individual
rather than the two factions guilty OK
offences against the United States.
UphoIds Monroe Doctrine.
IN the debate on the naval bill Rep
resontative Kelley, Michigan Repub-
Iican. asserted that there was deep
significance in the sending Of the fleet
70 Mexican waters. Not only was IL
TO force a salute 70 the flag, he SAID,
but 70 notify the nations Of the world
that the Monroe Doctrine is still vital
and that no matter what comes there
will be no exploitation Of Mexico by
any nation.
Representative Hensley, MISSOURI
Democrat. delivered no battleship'
speech. Mr.. Hensley is among the
members of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee who signed a minority report on the
bill, asserting that appropriations Tor
battleships constitute "a useless cX-
travagance."
Representative Hulinss, who saw ser.
vice in the Spanish-American War. re-
piled TO the little navy men with
speech strongly advising preparedness,
saying:
Washington was a man OF peace. I
commend his farewell address 30
those who would depend upon aitruism
and love OF justice as national de-
fence.

Not 10 Set Up Another Man.

II must be in the hope that by our inter-
yention We shall try at least 10 bring

country, for which We have no feeling
but one OF friendship. II must not be
that we go there to take down one man
ard set up another
To these views, which were the views
q, the Republican members OF the For
elgn Relations Committee. Senator Shive-
~ replied:
ut Is never too late 70 declare war Il
can easily become too late TO take steps
which may preserve peace. and that Is
the task that confronts Us on this reso-
luton.
This" continued Mr.. ohively. lis a
procedure in a good-faith effort to take
steps which We hope may result IN the
preservation OF peace, rather than in the
propagation OF war Whatever may be
the motives OF tho Senator from Masss-
chusetts-and I credit him with the ut
most good faith-the effect OF the amend
ment he IL pressing upon the Senate can
not be mistaken.

Shively Defends Step.

We are taking the incidents rccited TO
US by the President" said Mr.. Shively IN
conclusion. with reference TO the commit
tee resolution. making them the basis
for a declaration that ne is justified in
the course he is taking IN behalf OF the
insulted honor OF his country. We limit
IT to those things.
Are there other thinssiinvolved? When
you enforce respect for the symbols or
authority you have made property more
secure you have made life more secure
in Mexico. You are taking bond TO
larger degree Of justice, OF protection. IN
that unhappy country. II is one Of the
largest measures possible 10 be taken TO
enforce something Of security for our
citizens in Mexico.
While not minimizing the gravity OF
offences committed against American
citizens I cannot but see here. II not an
effort. at least the effect OF minimizing
tho gravity Of this Insult to the United
states in the indignities put upon the
men Of the navy. The significance OF that
incident cannot be underestimate. The
flag is not a piece OF tawdry bunting The
uniform OF our sailors stands for some
thing 1t represents the embattled spirit
OF their country. and, II such indigni-
ties as these could pass unnoticed and
without conspicuous address, then there
would be less of safety and security than
ever in Mexico for the citizens OF the
United States
Senator Williams, also member OF the
Foreign Relations COMMITTEES, deplored
anything which might lead 70 war. he
contended that It was the purpose OF the
administration to punish Huerta, and
Huerta alone, and not 10 enter upon
campaign of aggression in Mexico which
might lead the United States into a post
ton from which il could not extricate
ITSELF for years 70 come, as happened In
the Philippines.
The afrout upon the United states,
said Senator Williams. was the arront OF
the man only, and not OF the Mexican
people.
"Huerta has not transgressed upon our
crops he added; he has tpitcned our
nose"
At this there was a mild burst OF hand
clapping from the mems gallery, and the
Nice-President ordered IL cleared.
II want this resolution narrowed" ejac-
ulated Senator Williams 81 do not want
II broadened. as the Senator from Massa-
chusetts desires. We have had enough
Of benevolent assimilation and that is
what is anticipated when YOU broaden
the scope Of this resolution
We do not want benevolent assiuils-
ton IN Mexico Neither do we want 10
stay there until Mexico is pacifed. We
have had enough Of that In the Philip
pines. We don't want the Mexican as A
citizen. and. God knows. don't want him
as an alien subject. Huerta must either
make reparation, or he must be made
prisoner, or he must die"
II do not want 10 place the uniform
above the life OF an American citizen"
said Senator McCumber. who followed
Senator Williams. No matter how
adroitly worded this resolution IS, the re-
suit Will be war-all the war that a bank
rupt and divided nation can sustain. II
We are 70 make war We owe it 70 our
selves, 20 our own people and 10 the peo-
pie OF the world 10 give the reasons.
