This is my idea; Order all our
soldiers out OF Mexico Then con,
centrate all available troops on the
border and give notice to the Mexi
cans that the first overt act commit

will call for quick reprisals. Sup
pose we have 100000 men concen

is more than doubled We could
equip many of them with automo
