held the impression that the United
States fears Mexico. There IS only one
way to disabuse his mind. 1t is the
Pershing way.
Swift. stern action in the present
situation is the cheapest and surest
way out for both countries. The pol
icy Of backing and filing, threatening
and turning from threats to coaxins
has brought about most serious condi-
tons 1t is no time to shift blame TO
big business or seek a scapegoat.
There is but one thing to do, clean UP
Villa and his outfit and serve notice on
Mexico proper-and improper-that
unhappy country, thru one means or
another. We can no longer leave a
border line exposed to raid and attack
We should not be obliged to fortify
our border towns and garrison them, to
maintain a Gordon Of soldiers sleeping
on their arms in protection of the lives
and property Of Americans this side
the Rio Grande.
Mexico has come TO the jumping OH
place. 1t is not government but
wilderness of warning tribes and
proving bands Of leaders drunk with
barbaric dreams of power. The exist
ence of conditions that have obtained
in Mexico is a constant threat to the
border states and an invitation to in
reference with the Monroe doctrine
In protection to ourselves and as
police duty we should insist on order
in Mexico. merely the decency Of or
ganized government Sooner or later
we shall be forced to this insistence-
Mexico needs q demonstration OF
United States power. Of American
strength and kindness of purpose. We
are the policeman as well as the elder
brother Of this continent and should
so assert ourselves.
