w HdIcNeI SOOu ulSHI nave LUZ lowed from the Pan-American Con- gress is destroyed at one fell blow, and the consequences it is imposs- ible fully to realize just now.
 All South America suspects Uncle Sam. They point to what has hap pened in Nicaragua, in Costa Rica, in Columbia (Panama) and they in- sist that because those nations were weak, they were made the pititful victims of dollar diplomacy.
 This is simply notorious. Very little good can come of the fact that almost any European nation stands higher in the esteem of the South American republics than the United States. Almost every nation is be lieved to have higher national ideals and to have their international poll cies based upon higher nationa! ideals than the United States Almost savage in the bitterness Of their sardonic humor are the car toons of the Latin-American papers when depicting Uncle Sam. They literally seethe with the cruel venom of contemptuous bitterness and this unfortunate phase of things na5
 been but little bettered by the at-
 tempted rapprochement that had
 been tried under Wilson through the Pan American Congress, and
 under Taft by the Root mission
 abroad.
 The result of an invasion of CT war with Mexico would be to inten- sify this suspicion that is poisoning the relations between the United States and the other republics o1 this hemisphere. There cannot be any doubt of this. The other repub-
 lies will fear for their own integrity.
 They will believe that the United States has desigrs upon them and they will distrust and fear and dis like and oppose the policies of the
 United States.
 It is only a short sight that will ignore this important fact. But probably it is now too late. The clamor for intervention is loud: the
 consequence of intervention is ignored.
 We doubt very much if all of
 Mexico is worth the price that will be paid for it. That price is to be estimated not alone in dead and
 wounded, but in an enduring hate
 that inevitably affects the destinies
 of the nations.
 Such will not be confined to Mex | ico or the Mexicans The bond Of sympathy that exists among Latin Americans is much more real and much stronger than that of the other nations. It is much stronger and much more real and much more vital than that which unites Canada and the United States. To the La tin American temperament, sympa- they anu SeutlmcnI dAO 'OAJ ASs'A and living things affecting men 8
 lives and impulses as many things
 with much greater material force
 could never do.
 It will have a potent effect upon Americans future position if Mexico | is to be the Niobe of nations on
 this western hemisphere, and the
 United States the power that slew
 her children and changed her from an independent and struggling nation to a rock sending the tears of it's
 grief to inspire blistering hate and
 bitterness against the northern
 author of her woes among the Latin American republics.
 It is true there have been great disorders in Mexico and that Amer jeans have suffered by reason ot that; none the less with greater tact and greater judgment and less |hearkening to the interventionist cause, we believe peace could have been we'll and honorably main- tained.
