Hughes tonight charged President Wilson
with sacrifice Of American business in
terests In foreign lands and submitted
proofs. Citing the case OF Mexico, he
said: TT is said by the administration
that they desire to open the door for
American enterprise.
What is the inducement for our mer-
chants and business men to go to for
eIgn countries and engage in American
enterprise II they and their investments
are treated as our citizens and their prop
critics were permitted to be treated in
Mexico?
We have heard criticized" continued
Mr.. Hughes, those who had taken ad-
vantage of opportunities and made in
vestments in Mexico, but I have not dis
covered that any line was drawn between
the innocent and those who were not
admitted to be innocent in permitting
our citizens to be left TO the rayages of
revolution and perhaps to be destroyed.
IF any have forfeited their rights un-
der international law, let them be singled
out and dealt with. But I stand here to
assert that American trade will not be
maintained according to the ambitions
and Just aspirations Of our people, and
we shall not stand before the world as
We should with international esteem and
the confidence of the nation unless we
protect at all events, American lives,
American property and American com
merce throughout the world"
He denounced the administration veto
on the six-power loan to China and con-
trasted the pretensions OF friendship for
the Latin-American states with Mr..

The new line Of attack was developed
here tonight in an address before e,00o
