Peace, Love and Preparedness.

Senator Hoke Smith in his speech
last evening at the dinner given by
the Southern Commercial Congress to
the Chinese commercial commission
sounded the note of preparedness
that is today echoing throughout
the United States. He is no jingo.
On the contrary, he is a practical
peace man. but he sees humanity with
clear vision, and he knows that it is
unsafe to rely for national security
upon the love that should be in the
hearts of other peoples, but that un-
fortunately in crises is so often found
lacking A significant suggestion oc-
Cured in this speech that Congress
next winter may be voting for more
ships and more soldiers, not because
the American heart has changed from
love TO hatred, but because the peo-
pie of this country want to be pre-
pared against disaster while they are
waiting for the hearts of other peo-
pie to change. This is the soundest
possible peace doctrine. 1t will be
indorsed by the American people
without regard to party. and the Con-
sress that begins the work of putting
the country upon sound basis of
possible self-defense will win the
praise of the nation for the perform
ance of duty Of the most vital i'm

The Call for Mexican Relief.

President Wilson's appeal for funds
for Red Cross relief of the starving
Mexican people. rendered destitute
by the successive revolutions that
have swept that unhappy country,
will doubtless be answered in a gen.
erous spirit, notwithstanding the
heavy drains upon the American
purse during the past ten months
for the succor of the war sufferers
in Europe. The Mexican situation is
close at hand, and charity is quick
to respond to calls for help at short
range. In sense, moreover. the
American nation holds itself to cer-
tain extent responsible for the well
fare of the Mexicans, and there
should be no stinting in the gifts for
the rescue of the inhabitants of the
neighboring republic, which has been
in the grip of virtual anarchy for
several years.
This call by the President for sue
cor for the Mexicans is to be needed
apart from any consideration regard
ing the policy Of the United States.
past. present or prospective. toward
the difficult Mexican situation It is
hinted that more vigorous course.
possibly involving Intervention, is
contemplated by this government,
but. however that may be, whatever
the developments to come. Ameri-

innocent people are suffering for lack
of food, so long as they can be
reached with the means of assist

Probably only a 1.-THE of the actual
distress in Mexico is known here.
Enough, however, is officially known
to make it certain that at least the
northern half of Mexico and posi-
bly, greater portion Of the republic
is in acute distress. Business has
been halted, trade paralyzed. COM
munieations interrupted. until the
whole social order has become de-
ranged, and there is no prospect of
betterment. Much as they have
given for the Belgians and others
who have felt the pressure Of war in
Europe, the American people owe a
duty to humanity now to answer the
Presidents call in full measure to
send relief to their neighbors.
