The president held that if America
was to remain in u position OF safety
steps must be taken at once to re-
organize our army. 10 this end
adequate funds must be provided and

ton was more important than peace.
Relative to the Mexican situation
he asserted that an American in
vasion would cost us the respect and
confidence of the Latin-American re-
publics, and cause her to be regarded
by them as common foe. He ar
gued that a concilatory policy would
result IN panAmerican league that
