The question is not as to the non-rec-

to recognize Huerta, who was recog-

That Is. We seized Vera Cruz to depose

DenOunceS Alien Plots
As "MtOlerable" Here

We denounce all plots and conspira-
cies In the. interest Of any foreign ma
ton. Utterly intolerable is the use Of
our soil for alien intrigues. Every
American must unreservedly condemn
them and support every effort to their
suppression. But here, also, prompt.
vigorous and adequate measures on the
part of the Administration were needed.
There should have been no hesitation I;
no notion that 1t was wise and polite to
delay.
Such an abuse of our territory de-
manded immediate and thorough-going
action. AS soon as the Administration
had notice Of plots and conspiracies
II was It's duty to stop them. 1t was not
lacking in resources. It's responsibility
for their continuance cannot be escaped
by the condemnation Of others.
