authorities should be asked to cooperate with the
Americans in getting word to these people and eseOrtg
them to safety.
1t is proposed that the Carranza government be urged
TO issue vigorously worded prOcamatons for posting
throughout the northern states declaring instant death
to all bandits such punishment to be administered
mary by civil military authorities in the field after
the briefest formal trial The suggestion might work
WELL if the Carrancistas could find enough troops to
make showing of military occupation in the outlying
districts.
Above ALL let this horrible tragedy be the signal
for complete reversal of policy by the Washington
government and the adoption of policy vigorous
and so persistent that the de facto government must
stir itself to clear up the country and reestabsh order
The stimulus thus given to Mexico and Mexcans will
be good for that country The United States can ac
compsh much along this line without military nterven-
ton if the Washington administration viii only try to
realize the gravity Of the present crisis and act
ingly
In any event if American troops must enter Mckee
it viii be only after five years Of almost continuous
provocation on Mexicos part and almost incredible pa
thence on the part of the American people; and it viii be
solely for the purpose of administering ehastisement to
outlaws and assisting the constituted authorities Of
Mexico to recover actual possession Of their country
Resistance would be costly, in life and treasure but it
would be vain. If the Americans determine to
occupy Mexico they will do it, and they viii hold 1t
until the country is redeemed from its present degrade
ton and made reasonably safe for Mexcans and foreign
ers alike.
