haven't gone down TO Mexico TO fight
that benighted people; people that
the United States already has wrong
ed, as has every other nation that has
interfered with them
President Wilson's policy of non
interference by force was highly prais-
ed by the lecturer
His remedy for conditions in Mex
leo is a continuation of the 'hig broth

augurated.

one peon told DR.. Payne. is fail
chance to earn a living for himself
and family.

Summed up, the big cause OF all the
trouble and unrest in Mexico DR.. Payne
declared to be the lack of righteous
ness in the high places of government
Because of this, he said, the few, un

subjected the vast majority Of the peo
pie to slavery which is worse thar
