The time for cementing our relations
with Mexico was long ago.
We had marvellous opportunity 10
make ourselves beloved and trusted by
the Mexican people.
We had chances galore to show our
obligations to them by turning back part
of the riches taken from their own land
into means Of education and economic
betterment for the rising generations.
We did none of these things.
We exploited their mines, their oil
wells and gobbled up all the franchises
in sight.
And now we send an army to catch
a bandit. and are surprised when we are
in turn, asked to withdraw
We seem to imagine that nothing Is
necessary than a parade to Mexico CITY

turn and arrange for history to give Us
plaudits for our magnanimity.
