THE ROOSEVELT HOMECOMING

Colonel Roosevelt will arrive il
New York some time this evening
from his trip in the West Indies
and his Homecoming is regarded
universally by politicians as likely
70 be highly significant. During his
absence from the country the one
most important political develop
ment was the issuance of his state
ment at Port of Spain, in which he
made clear that he doesn't want to
be President of the United States
unless the United States wants him
to be President of it.
Nobody, no score of men, have
done so much since the European
war began to impress the American
people with the weight and serious.
ness Of their obligations in this
sadly muddled world as has Theo-
dore Roosevelt. He is one man who
from the very beginning has evil
denced a correct realization of the
fact that this country occupies the
position of trustee for civilization.
He has endeavored in every possible
way to unity and consolidate the
sentiment of the country. He has
insisted that in such a crisis as the
present, to neglect preparation for
any eventuality, to refuse to realize
the dangers of our position, to in
dulge a fatuous feeling of security
when there is no such thing as Sc
curity in this world, is utterly in
excusable.
1t is perfectly plain that during
the weeks of Colonel Roosevelt's
absence the sentiment in favor OF
his nomination as the Republican
candidate has grown by leaps and
bounds. Men who four years, and
three years, and two years and one
year ago would have preferred to
see the Republican party disor.
ganized and defeated rather than
victorious under Roosevelt, are to.
day in favor of his leadership. They
recognize it as the only big and
truly national leadership that il
being offered to the country.
In declining to let his name &c
before the primaries in the various
States, Colonel Roosevelt has simply
taken the position that he does not
want to lead unless there is real
and spontaneous demand for him
The existence and the. widespread
character of that demand can nc
longer be questioned even by those
who are still antagonistic. The
next few weeks seem certain ia
bring political developments of the
very first Importance.

THE MEXICAN DANGER IN
CREASES

The beginning of disintegration Of
the Carranza military power Is
powerfully suggested by the with
drawal of a force of 1000 of his
very best troops, and their joining
Villa. 1t must always be remem-
bered that the Mexican soldier, as a
rule, has no particular loyalty to a
cause, though he has some elemen
tai patriotism that attaches him to
his country. But his real attach
ment is to the military commander
under whom he serves. That is why
the generals are almost always po-
litical generals; the more successful
they may be in their military enter
prises, the more they attach their
men to their personal fortunes, by
just that measure they also become
more important politically.
1t becomes question, then, large
ly of the disposition of a group of
military men. Villa at one time
seemed the idol of the military chief
tains, because he was the sort of
dashing commander that won Battles
and was quite amiable with regard
to the conduct of his troops; if they
saw something they wanted they
were likely to take it and be assured
that no difficult questions would be
asked.
Can Carranza hold his military
chiefs to his cause, as against an
Invasion" by Americans? That is
the big question right now.
1t would be easily enough answer.

whelming and impressive force OF
soldiery, which should make the
Mexicans understand that no coali,

affect the ultimate result. But we
cannot do that. If the whole army

possesses could be hurled across the
border and resistlessly sweep

northern Mexico, there would be
little danger Of the Carranzistas de-
sorting to Villa; their interest in the
preservation Of their own skins
would be the guarantee against such
an event. But, contrariwise, the
United States has little expedition
airy force that has already been cut
of from communications, and that,
as it advances farther into the coun-
try, will be constantly in increasing
danger from this cause.
II is understood that the situation
is regarded so gravely by the War
Department that the military
authorities have seriously contem-
plated call for the militia Of the
States. Such a call, Of course, will
not be issued until it is very evident
that the emergency demands it; but
the emergency seems to be growing
more serious with every hour.
II is an impressive lesson that the
country is getting concerning the
necessity of being ready to make a
show Of real power, real authority,
at least on this continent. We have
for four years faced a condition in
Mexico from which any reasonable
person might have assumed that
some form Of intervention would
sooner or later be forced upon us.
For near two years we have viewed
the European conhagration, and yet
there has been nothing in all this to
inspire serious efforts at prepara-
ton for eventualities. Now the
eventualities-some of them--are
here, and the country has opportun-
ity, IL not leisure, to ponder them.
Something real and substantial in
the way Of army expansion must
be provided at the present session Of
Congress. II will not be enough to
discuss academic plans for armies
that will be trained in some combi-
nation industrial-military school or
institute, after such establishments
shall have been planned and organ
lied. That might provide an army
big enough for bandit hunt, at the
end Of few years. But Villa is not
going to be so accommodating as to
postpone his enterprises till 1t shall
suit our convenience. He has picked
the present as quite the most ac-
ceptable time to make his bid for
place as a national hero; and he is
by way Of making Uncle Sam a
plenty of trouble.

than the northeast when IL comes to
parks and Fairgrounds. The north
east development has been rapid, and
the recent police census indicated
how remarkable that growth has
been. The Patterson tract is in the
path Of the small home development
and stands an excellent chance OF
being cut up into building lots un-
less the Government buys it.
AS problem Of the greatest good
to the greatest number, the invest.
ment Of 100000 in the eighty-one
acres Of the Patterson estate looks
like a better proposition than the in.
vestment Of 1926, 900 in the Dean es-
tate. There are the strongest sort
OF reasons why both should be- pur-
chased, and purchased now. But II
either purchase has to be DELAYED
and even If the Dean estate, as
claimed, would cost more next year
the residents Of the northeast have a
strong case in their argument that
it is high time a park was forthcom.
ing in their section.

MONROE DOCTRINE DUTIES

Some of the most thought-provok
ing testimony yet brought out in
Washington this year at any of the
numerous Congress hearings was
given this week by E. R. Grace, pres
ident of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, before the House Naval At
fairs Committee.
One of the striking points made by
Grace has an Importance far above
the merely incidental treatment he
gave it. Grace boldly predicted that
most, if not. all, the South and Cen
trail American states would become
involved in any war in which the
United States was a participant.
This prediction is not new, but it
comes just at this time with author
ity, for probably only the diplomats
themselves know, more intimately
than the armor makers, the under
currents of diplomacy, which deal
with possible war and it's reaction on
international relations.
Grace did not say on which side
our Latin neighbors to the south
were likely to be found, nor did he
reveal on what he based his predic-
ton. 1t is probable he had in mind
attempts of Americas foes to seize,
after war had been declared, portions
Of the rich continent now protected
only by the Monroe doctrine from
expansionists. This may be perfectly
true, but to us it seems more likely
that the same Monroe doctrine will
be the primary cause of any war in
volving both the United States and
our sister states to the south.
South America is too tempting a
field for land-hungry nations, urged
on by the press of ever-increasing
. population, to neglect forever, if
they see any chance to get away
with it. Strange it is that consider
alton of this phase of the necessity
for arming ourselves properly in
time receives so little consideration
1 IN the discussion of preparedness,
for II there is anything inevitable in
this world it is that those who as
sumo intercontinental responsible
ties must some time be called upon
to support them.
