THE DIFFICULT POSITION

The part we shall have to play, in
the event of war with Mexico, will be
an exceedingly difficult one, not from
a military standpoint, but from
diplomat angle. Having the les
son of Europe before it, the world
will be skeptical of the Intentions of
any large nation warning upon
smaller one, nor will it suffice to ex-
cuse us that the provocation to
troupce Mexico has been severe.
The world, and that will chiefly
mean the western hemisphere, the
central and South American repub
lies, will be quick to misunderstood
and to condemn any warlike move by
the United States. Latin America
will be especially forward in condem-
nation of any attack against q nation
related by race and blood For this
reason it behooves the United States
to move slowly and cautiously, to
plan every step before putting down
a foot and to reason in advance, if
possible, what effect each action viii!
have Gil our ne!ghbors on this side of
the world
Having voluntarily assumed the
| role of big brother, under the Mon
roe Doctrine, and having maintained
that right of guardianship for SO
so many years, we are placed in a
peculiar position.
Mexico has been a grieVous offend
er against the United States and a
complete list of it's otfenses has been
| published broadcast in the note ad
| dressed to the de facto government
| by the secretary Of state in letters
| and terms, that he who runs may
read. Nevertheless, because Mexico
| is weaker, there will be many To
| sympathize with it in q war with
America and the fewer reasons for
sympathy that are left before hostiil-
ties are opened the better will our
| friendships abroad be conserved.
