lowers and the protection of the
frontier; and finally by a demand for
the immediate withdrawal Of the
American troops. Meantime condi-
tons of ana: chy in the border states
of Mexico were continually growing
worse. Incursions into American
territory were plotted and perpetrat
ed; The Glenn Springs raid was .;lc-
cessfully executed, while no eff: ct.y:
efforts were being made by General
Carranza TO improve the conditions
and TO protect American territory
from constant threat Of invasion.
Withdrawal Unreasonable.
"ln vi=y c.. this increasing menace,
Of the inactivity of the Ca:ranz1
forces, Of the lack of cooperation in
/ the apprehension CT the Villa DaI1-
and of the known encouragement and
aid given to bandit leaders, it is un-
reasonable to expect the United
States to withdraw its forces from
Mexican territory or to prevent their
entry again when their presence is
the only check on further bandit out

protecting American lives and homes

, though internationally Obliged to

"In view of the actual state of at
fairs as I have outlined above, l am
now in a position to consider the con-
illusions which you have drawn in
your note under communication
f. en- the erroneous statements Of fact
which you have set forth.
"Your government intimates, if It
does not openly charge, that the attl-
! tude of the United States is one of
| insincerity, distrust and suspicion to-
ward the de facto government of
Mexico and that the intention of tae
United States in sending its troops
| into Mexico is to etxend it's sover-
eighty over Mexican territory and not
merely for the purpose of pursuing
marauders and preventing future
raids across the border. The de facto
government charges by implication
which admits of but one interpreted
tion, that this government has as its
object territorial aggrandizement,
even at the expense of war OF Hy-
erosion against neighbor weake ned
by years of civil strife. The gov
eminent of the United States. if it
had had designs upon territory OF
Mexico would have had no difficulty
in finding during the period of revo-
luton and disorder many plausible
arguments Tor Intervention in Mex
lea affairs. Hoping, however, that
the people of Mexico would, through
their own efforts, restore peace and
establish an orderly government, the
United States has awaited with patti
ence the contamination of the revo-
luton.
De Facto Government DisappOints.
when the superiority of the revo-
lutionary faction led by Ganeral Car
rama became undoubted. the United
States, after comforting with six
others Of the American republics,
recognized Internationally the pres
ent de facto gove.nme mt. It hoped
and expected that the government
would speedily restore order anc pro-
vide the Mexican people and others
who had given their energy and SUBJ
sistance to the development of the
great resources of the republic, OPP
POI tunity to rebuild in peace and
security their shattered fortunes.
"This government has waited,
month after month, for the consum-
nation of it's hope and expectation.
in spite of increasing discourage
ments, in spite of repeated provoca-
tons to exercise force in the restora-
ton of order in the northern regions
Of Mexico. where American interests
have suffered most seriously from
lawlessness, the government of the
United States has refralned from ag-
gressive action and sought by ap-
peals and moderate, though explicit,
demands to impress the de facto gov
eminent with the seriousness of the
situation and to arouse it to it's duty
to perform it's obligations toward
citizens of the United States who had
entered the territory of Mexico Or
had vested interests witAin it's boun-
daries.
"In the face of constantly renewed
evidence of the patience and restraint
of this government in circumstances
which only government imbued
with unselfishness and sincere de-
sire to respect to the full she sovsr-
eign rights and national dignity of
