Japanese Sentiment.

The time for cementing our relations
with Mexico was long ago.
We had a marvellous opportunity 10
make ourselves beloved and trusted by
the Mexican people.
We had chances galore to show our
obligations to them by turning back part
of the riches taken from their own land
into means of education and economic
betterment for the rising generations.
We did none OF these things.
We exploited their mines, their oil
wells and gobbIed up all the franchises
in sight. :,
And now we send an army to eaten
a bandit. and are surprised when we are
in turn, asked to withdraw.
We seem to imagine that nothing more
is necessary than parade to Mexico City
with the poor, unarmed natives fleeing
before our goosestep.
Then a few months of occupation to
"clean up" and implant the noble Amer
can ideals, after which we expect to re-
turn and arrange for history to give Us
plaudits for our magnanimity.

We Have SOwn the Wind
In Mexico and We Are Now
Reaping the Whirlwind

We have sown the wind and are reap
ing the whirlwind in our present Mexican
situation.
We have overrun that land for the past
40 years and have taken possession of
everything that we could lay our hands
on.
We have, during those years, implant-
I'd in the heart of the Mexican not love,
which we could easily have done, but
the bitterest hatred.
We have openly treated the peon with
contempt and catered to the large land
owner.
We have done everything that could
\ possibly be done to make money, but we
y have not planted one little seed of human
Kindness in the whole of Mexico.
That the Mexican is incapable of re-
spending to such treatment, is not true.
