Big Obligations Assumed by U. S.

Thomas F. Logan, IN LesIIes
European claims for damage done by
the revolutions in Mexico amount to
$400, 900 900. The British and French en-
bassies in Washington recently called to
the attention of Secretary Lansing the
fact that the Carranza government has
seized the assets of British and French
banking institutions in Mexico City The
British charge daffaires at Mexico City,
now in Washington, said that Great
Britain could not permit Carranza to i'm
peril British interests. The implication
was that unless the United States takes
some action in behalf of the British and
French banks, these governments will
take matters into their own hands, Ap-
parently London and Paris feel that the
Monroe doctrine should not only give the
United States free field on this continent.
but that it should place upon US the
obligation of protecting foreign interests
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-11-05


1t was with this understanding that
Europe kept hands off in Mexico through
out the four years of revolution in that
country. How much longer European ma
tons can be induced to hold aloof is o
matter of speculation. All that the state
department has done is to send these
new complaints to American commission
ers meeting with the Mexican representa-
tives in Atlantic City. The American
commissioners have served notice that
claims of European nations against Mex
leo must be considered in any adjust
meht that is to be reached. Since foreign
governments held off at the request Of
the United States, they considered that
the Washington government is RESPONSE
BILE for the satisfaction of these claims,
and they need the money.

f1cation is used in a new English time

Preparedness Cheaper Than Pensions

THOMAS r. Logan, in Leslie's.
Preparedness pays for itself In the saw
ing of pensions. If the United States gov
eminent had been strong and well pre-
pared the civil war would have been over
in few weeks. Compared with Spain,
the United States was well prepared for
tie Spanish war, and the consequence
was that comparatively few lives were
lost and few pensions paid. The entente
allies suffered their greatest lossesssin
the present war when they were unpre-
pared. Frank A. vanderlip of the Ma
