THREE BIG MISTAKES

reveals three fundamental errors.
First, the lack of foresight to make
timely provision for backing up Amer
lean diplomacy by actual or assured
military and naval force. Second the
forfeiture of the worlds respect for
our assertion of rights by pursuing
the policy of making threats and fail
ing to make them good. Third. loss
of the moral forces of the civilized
world through failure to truly interpret
to the world the spirit Of the Ameri-
can democracy in it's attitude towards
the terrible events which accompanied
the early stages of the war.
First, as to power.
when the war in Europe began,
free. peaceable little Switzerland in
stantly modified upon her frontier a
great army of trained citizen soldiers.
Sturdy little Holland did the same, and,
standing within the very sound Of the
guns, both have kept their territory
and their independence inviolate. No
body has run over them because they
have made it apparent that the cost
would be too great.
Great, peaceable America was far
Their removed from the conflict, but
her trade and her citizens travelled
on every sea. Ordinary knowledge of
European affairs made it plain that the
war was begun not by accident but
with purpose which would not soon be
relinquished. Ordinary knowledge of
military events made it plain from the
moment when the tide Of German inva-
sion turned from the Battle Of the
%14 Sof bot 10
be long and desperate. Ordinary
knowledge Of history-of our own his
tory daring the Napoleonic Wars-made
it plain that in that conflict neutral
rights would be worthless unless pow
erfully maintained. All the world had
fair notice that, as against the desper-
ate belligerent resolve to conquer. the
law Of nations and the law Of humanity
interposed no effective barriers for the
protection of neutral rights. Ordinary
practical sense in the conduct of af-
fairs demanded that such steps should
be taken that behind the peaceable
assertion Of our country's rights. it's
independence and its honor, should
stand power. manifest and available,
warning the whole world that it would
cost too much to press aggression too
far. The Democratic government at
Washington did not see it. Others saw
it and their opinions found voice. Mr.
Gardner urged it; Mr.. Lodge urged it;
Mr.. Stimson urged it; Mr.. Roosevelt
urged It; but their argument and urg-
ency were ascribed to political motives:
and the President described them with
10 sneer as being nervous and excited.

oUTRAeEs IGNORED


across the border by soldiers Of Car
rama and Villa. More than so Of them
have been killed in tAis way and no
attention has been paid to it,. The
demand of a salute to the flag was
never heard of again after Vera Cruz
was captured. There is not an intel
ligent man in Mexico who believes
that the dispute about the salute was
the real reason for the capture Of
doubts that the alleged cause was but
a pretext and that the real cause was
the purpose to turn Huerta out OF
office? The people of Mexico, who
saw their unoffendiag city captured
by force of arms. 800 of it's people
slain, their soil violated, foreign
flag floating over their great seaport,
upon what they felt to be false pre-
tense, were misled into imputing a
more sinister purpose still-to secure
control of Mexico for the United
States; and they believed that when
the American troops departed. that
purpose was abandoned through fear.
With the occupation Of Vera Cruz the
moral power of the United States in
Mexico ended. We were then and we
are now hated for what we did to
Mexico, and we were then and we are
now despised for our feeble and IT.
resolute failure to protect the lives
and rights of our citizens. No flag
is so dshonored and no citizenship so
little worth the claiming in Mexico as
ours. And that is why we have failed
in Mexico.
DIscLAIMs RESPONSIBILITY
Incredible as it seems. Huerta hao
been turned out by the assistance of
the American government without any
guarantees from the men who were to
be set up in his place, and so the
numbering and burning and ravishins
have gone on to this day. After Huerta
had fallen and the Vera Cruz eXpedl-
ton had been withdrawn, President
Wilson announced that no one was en-
titled to interfere in the affairs OF
Mexico: that she was entitled to settle
them herself He disclaims all respon-
sibility for what happens in Mexico
and contents himself with policy OF
Watchful Waiting.
But who can interfere IN a
quarrel and help some contestants
and destr6y others and thenN alb !,
solve himself from responsibility
for the results? It is not by force
of circumstances over which we
had no control, but largely because
the American administration in
tervened by force to control the in
ternaI affairs Of that country in
stead Of asserting and maintaining
American rights that we have been
brought to our present pass of con-
fusion and humiliation over Mex
leo.
"And for the death and outrage,
the suffering and ruin of our own
brethren, the hatred and contempt
for our country, and the dishonor
of our name in that land, the Ad-
n,inistration at Washington shares
responsibility with the inhuman
brutes with whom it made common
cause.

PcuueHCc, the liberty, the nOnOr anu
the opportunity of the American
democracy are not merely to be talked
about with weak and flabby sentiment,
but are to be maintained and safe
guarded by the practical power of a
virile and patriotic people. 1t is clear
sighted enough to see that preparation
for defense must have due relation to
the possibilities Of attack; that under
the conditions Of modern warfare
much preparation must be made be-
fore a possible attack, or all prepare
ton will be impossible after the at
tack. The Republican party stands
for a citizenship made competent by
training to perform the freeman's
duty Of defense for his country. It
stands for a regular army no larger
than is necessary but as large as is
necessary to serve as a first line, a
nucleus, a source of instruction and of
administration for the army Of
American citizens who may be called
upon to defend their country. And
the Republican party stands for the
gospel Of patriotic service - to our
country by every citizen according to
hisr ability in peace and in war. 1t
stands for a reawakening of Ameri-
can patriotism. 1t is not content that
while the people OF other lands are
rendering the last full measure of de-
votion in sacrifice and suffering and
dying for their countries, America
shall remain alone dull to the call Of
country and satisfied in the comforts
and pleasures Of prosperity. /.
They may expect that assured
readiness for defense will give power
to our diplomacy In the maintenance
Of peace.
