action will depend entirely upon the
attitude of public opinion in the United

beginning the Presidents intentions in
Mexican matters were good, it must
also be admitted that experience has
taught him nothing and that almost
from the beginning the trend of our
policy toward Mexico has been inspired
by earnest but futile efforts to regain
the prestige lost in initial dealing with
the problem.
This much Is certain: We landed
eight thousand troops In Vera Cruz

that we have despatched five thousand
