Recurs 10 Mexico

Is such an iilustrsilon OF what
ought not to be done In this coun.
try. Why. my friends. Il 10 said
that the administration has kept
To out OF war. The administration
has conducted itself In interna.
tional matters In such n way that
We have come great deal nearer
90 serious difficulty than We would
have n We had a firm policy and
our departments and our diplo'
natic Intercourse and our policies
lad been fixed In such manner
as to carry conviction and 10 show
competence OF American interna-

There was n man NJ the head
OF that govcrnment who was the

Says Wilson INTERVIEWED
The clear line OF duty was to
see that American lives and the
property OF American citizens were
properly protected. And that Is
the one thing That this administra-
ton did not do. II knocked Huerta
cut OF the box; II proceeded TO de-
stroy the only government Mexico
had: II interviewed. II amuses me
sometimes TO hear the question
v hether | favor intervention. Why.
tie administration began to inter.
vcne right at the beginning. II in.
tervened when 1, insisted that
Huerta should not even be candi.

No Salute
You cannot exhibit that kind of
incompetence IN international az
fairs and escape trouble. We went
10 Vera Cruz apparently 10 get a
salute. We got into fight. Our
Iaen were killed. Me1icans were
killed. We got no salute; we came
back. We interviewed; we came
ack.
Then we ran to the embrace OF
villa, and we we're going to set
that assassin In the seat OF gov
eminent in Mexico. When that
could not be done. we turned TO
Carranza. Then. when there we're
border raids. vo went down into
Mexico. until We were told 10 go
back. and then we came back.
Trained Diplomats
Il want 10 see America dlscharg-
ing her public business with
splendid efficiency. We have been
talking OF diplomatic intercourse
hope to see the day in this coun-
try when we Sill have trained
SCHOOL OF diplomats.
