II, am glad" he continued. that
the President 10 still determined not
TO intervene. Intervention has been
urged for two years past by persons
having pecuniary interests in Mexico,
but ] feel II would be extremely un.
fortunate at this time IL we should
be drawn into a war with Mexico.
The Carranza government cannot be
held responsible for ourages perpe-
trated by rebels In insurrection
against that government. and In view
oi me fact tina the existing regime
in Mexico cannot protect American
ctr IS from raids across the border,
1t is both necessary and right for our
government to furnish the necessary
protection. However. l believe that
this can be done without interven-
ton, and j look TO the President to
lead us in the right way"

Many people claim that prepared
