The Washington times., 1915-06-02

There Is no proper protection either for her own
citizens for the citizens of other nations resident
and at work within her territory. Mexico is starving
and without government.
In these circumstances the people and Govern
ent of the United States cannot stand indierently
by and do nothing their neighbor. They want
nothing for themselves in Mexico Least OF all do
they desire to settle her affairs for her, claim any
right to do So
But neither do they wish to see utter ruin come
upon her. and they deem it their duty friends and
neishbors to lend any aid they properly to any
instrumentality which promises to be effective in
bringing about a settlement which will embody the
real objects of the govern
ment and the rights of the people Patriotic Mexicans
sick heart and cry out for peace and for every
self-sacri6ce that may be necessary to procure it.
Their people cry out for food and will presently
hate much they fear every man, in their country
out of it, who stands between them and their daily
bread. ....
.- POLICY OF UNITED STATES.
1t is time, therefore, that the Government of the
United States should frankly state the policy which in
these extraordinary circumstances it becomes its duty
to adopt. -
tmust presently do what it has not hitherto done
or felt liberty lend its active moral support to
some man or group of men, such may be found who
rally the suffering people of Mexico to their sup
port in effort ignore, if they cannot unite, the
tuition of the republic long in allegiance, and set up
government at Mexico City which the great powers
of the world recognize and deal with, govern
ment with whom the program of the revolution will
be business and not merely platform
therefore. publicly and very solemnly, call up
on the leaders of factions in Mexico to act act to-
gether and to act promptly for the relief and redemp
ton of their PROSTATE country.
l feel it to be my duty to tell them that, if they
cannot accommodate their differences and unite for
this great purpose within very short tme this Gov
eminent will be constrained to decide what means
should be employed by the United States in order to
help Mexico save herself and serve her people.
WISHES QUICK RESULTS.
The appeal and the threat have been conveyed to Il
leaders of the rival factions. Secretary Of State Bryan
to it that this was done as soon as the President gave Il
word this morning.
1t is believed that the Administration will not wait lor
about it.
If President Wilson has his mind on any partcul
"man group of men, lead Mexico out of the wilde
ness, he is concealing the fact very successfully.
AT the time, however, he makes plain that Il
United States is done with waiting, done with promise
that it wants results, and those quickly.
What the next step will be is purely conjecturaL
1t is believed, however, by those most familiar vii
the inside workings of the Administration, that befo
and, singing out "a man, group of men," will by il
formal recognition, promise of SUCH start the ball
ing for a restoration of peace and order.
