ed immediate punishment on the of lenders. there would never have been a repetition of the offenses. Certain foolish pacificists at home would un- doubtedly have been lackadaiscal over the action but it would have saved hundreds of lives.
 After years of these experiences in Mexico and repeated killings, of our people in our own territory along the border, our preparedness is such that this mighty nation perfectly able to grapple effcctly with the situation created by the raid of a bandit chief who had been beaten by his fellow bandit chief when they quarreled among themselves. In any event it could not possibly have pro duced more trouble than has been produced in Mexico by the policy th's nation has actually pursued.
 50 it is as regards Germany Fourteen months have gone since as nation we informed Germany that we would hold her to a strict accountability if she did what she said she would do as regard sub marine warfare. Germany did not believe that we meant what we said and for fourteen months our ac tons showed that We did not mean what we said and strict account ability turned into fourteen months on our part When we made that declaration we should have under stood just exactly what it meant and the obligation it imposed upon us. It was declaration so serious that mere severance of diplomatic relations would have hardly made it good and of course, it could only be justified by immediate and thor ough going preparedness on our part. Yet for fourteen months after mak- ing that declaration and with out rage after outrage committed against us, we have not prepared in any shape or way to make good our word
 And now We find that the lack of preparedness, the lack of decision and fortitude on our part have re- suited, not as our pacifical friends insisted, in increasing the likelihood of peace, but in bringing us to the verge of the gravest possible crisis. If we get peace now, it will be proof that firm decision fourteen months ago would have saved the lives of many thousands of non- combatants. including many hun dreds of women and children who have perished on the high seas be- cause our actions rightly made other nationals believe that we did not mean what we said

Republican A. p. Leased wirel

PITTSBURG, April 27.-Philander C. Knox, secretary of state in President Tafts cabinet, explaining at q republi- can banquet here tonight why Mr. Taft did not recognize General Huerta as president replied to the assertion that President Wilson inherited the troubles Of the Mexican situation from his pre- decessor and denied that President Will sons course may be likened to President Lincoln's during the period preceding the MaNimilian empire Intervention the former secretary declared, seemed dangerously near if not inevitable"
 Tt had been asserted time and again by the apologists for the democratic laundering in Mexico that President Wilson inherited the Mexican situation from President Taft said MT. Knox Nothing could be further from the truth than this statement, as a review of the situation will conclusiveiy dis close.
 When President Taft assumed office on March f. 1909, Mexico was at peace Her credit was good. her coffers filled. her industries thriving, and Porfirio Diaz, who had been the constitutional president of the republic since Lerdo De Tejada, seemed fair for the re- mamder of his life to preside over the destlnies of the land he had done so much to free from the empire of Max imillian. set up by coalition of Euro pean powers
 The Madero revolution broke out some two years later and resulted in .Irf Madero regime was recognized by the United States and the other powers. it was not accepted by powerful factions in Mexico. Rebellion against it's au- thority was almost coincident with it's birth and finally, in February, 1913. General Felix Diaz carried the war against Madero to the streets of the capital city itself
 When 1t was aparent that Madero's downfall was imminent it was made certain by Huerta and a portion of the army going over to Diaz who then seized the palace and on February 19. 1913, Francisco l. Madero and Jose NJ. Pino Suarez, resigned as president and vice president respectively. Their res lgndtlons were in writing and copies were transmitted to foreign powers sus- taning diplomatic relations with the republic and also to the Mexican con gress then in session. This was the congress elected at the same time that Madero was elected president, the cleo ton having taken pace subsequent to the success of the Madero revolution.
 'Ot course, Francisco Madero re- signed under the compulsion of the rev olution led by Felix Diaz, just as Por- fro Diaz had abdicated shortly before

came in so shortly before President Taft went out was recognized by some twenty odd countries as l recall it. including practically all if not all of the great powers of Europe, so that MT. Taft left the Mexican situation with Mexico pacified and the strong est man who has appeared since the days of Diaz in power"
 The assertion that President Will sons course had been like Lincolns the former secretary disputed by reading Lincoln's instructions to the American minister to the government of Benito JuareZ, in which Lincoln declined to join France, Spain and England in an attempt to break down the defacto government.
 United States Senator Pemose in his speech attacked the foreign policy 1 of the present administrations He 1 said in part:
 1 our management of international ! affairs in the case of Mexico, under the present administration constitutes one of the most deplorable chapters in our diplomatic history. It furnish es an exhibition of weakness and ig- norarce hardly with a parallel.
 The de facto government under ! Huerta, was established in Mexico i possessing the capital of the coun- | try and all the powers of established government If We had adopted the i invariable rule of diplomatic inter course and had followed the example ' of most of the nations of Europe the common sense course would have been to recognize such de facto gov ernment
