J. johnson criticlzes my letter OF re
cent date and fails IN the usual error
or considering the past greatness OF
the United States instead OF
its present degeneracy- he speaks u
the prowess OF the United States in
me past, and, admitting it. in both
the wars the United States had with
Great Britain, that country was so IN
volved in wars in Europe that II could
not send any troops 10 America 1he
last one, 1912, was during the days or
the war with Napoleon, when all the
resources OF England were engaged On
the continent and, notwlthstanding'
that, did not the United states come
back from its invasion Of Canada badly
whipped In the Mexican war, did not
Gen. Grant, who participated, say that
il was a most unjust war, advocated
by the slavery states to secure a
greater field for slavery?
In the event of the Alamo, the United
States had nothing to do with IL.
Texas was a separate country with
separate government
Does the Spanish war reflect any
credit on the United States2 Like all
the wars. II was a case Of many against
a few, and out Of II al. the Cubans
dislike Americans and the F1lipinos
dislike Americans more than any other
people. Out Of il all the United States
only went into Porto Rico boldly and
said, You are ours as the spells Of
war" The Porto Ricans are highly
content and want to be admitted as
state, equal to the others 1t is case
Of the Unied States going out for SUI
fering humanity's sake 10 people that
do not want their aid for humanity's
sake.

as equal states when lit, we migat

Mr.. johnson has more to say about
Texans capturing Santa ana. but /
do not dwell on that as I made a propo-
sition about the United States, not
Texans. OF the Texas republic
About Germany you have not got
much satisfaction yet have your You
consider il all right to have sold 54OO
boxes OF cartridges TO England which
were being transported IN the Lusi-
tania and then are surprised that Ger
many, "fluttertng for existence" de-
strOys it 1t is strange that you see
nothing wrong about furnishing am
munition to people TO kill each other
and 70 kill your own people in Mexi-
CO. You say that II does not matter
what anybody thinks. you are going
TO do what Is right. etc. Do you mean
that in spite Of what anyone thinks
you are going to keep on selling am
munittons that your curiosity seekers
will continue to sit on the 1lousetops
at the border 10 see battles and then
worry because some OF them are &C
cidentally killed.
Does Mr. Johnson know that a sena-
toriai committee consisting OF VIM. Al
den Smith, A B. Fail and others made
q report on Mexico and that report was
never given to the public2 Why? Does
he know Of the special representatives
sent BY DR.. WilsOn-Bsyard Wilson,
Reginald Del Vale, John Lind, Duval
West; what they reported2 It is sup

Huerta. did not the United States re-
fuse recognition 10 him and go out Of
the way to induce other countries not
TO loan him money or permit the sale
OF arms to the revolution but prevent
Huerta from obtaining them in the
United States2 Then when Japan and
Germany sold him arms they landed
IN Neracruz 10 prevent the landing Of
q German boat Win arms Inc united
States did not interfere with Japan,
mind you, and by this landing in Vera
cruz did they not absolutely ruin the
balance Of their American citizens who
had remained in Mexico in spite OF all
the warning TO get out7
