President Wilson to do in Mexico. argue or fight, achieve results bv diplomatic pressure or intervene with the army and the navy of the United States. President Taft and Senator Root were against interven- tion; the leaders of every faction in Mexico on one side or the other were against intervention; the entire Mex ican people were against intervention; the Mexican Catholic Bishops were against our intervention; the Amer ican people, except property holders in Mexico, have been against inter- vention and President Wilson adopted, as the irrevocable policy of his ad- ministration that we would not inter vene against the sovereignty of the Mexican people. Tn this situation I recall that Nelson O'Shaunessy, whose wife is now busily engaged criticising the present administration on the Mexican question, because her husband was not made a minister abrOad-O' 'Shaunes told me at least a dozen times that he never believed Huerta should have been rec ognized.
 "In the meantime Huerta dllSeIeu ny llle pT6Sluenl $ rel uSdl Ol recognition, was heaping continued insults on our government which cu1- minated in the arrest of a boatload of American sailors at Tampico. Ad- miral Mayo, the head of the fleet il those waters and the present senior admiral of the American Navy, with out consulting the president or the navy department, and acting entirely 4lol I~yr miral demanded that the sailors be released, that apology be made, and that the American flag he saluted in reparation for the insult. The presi- dent and congress supported Admiral Mayo In this demand, and Vera Cruz was occupied by the army and navy not to get a salute to the flag, but to thrash Huerta and his followers for their insult to our country and to teach every factional leader In Mexico that he would be compelled to respect the representatives of the United States.
 "The occupation of Vera Cruz was not made in the interest of Carran- za for Carranza protested against our occupation. Huerta then fled from Mexico. Not long after he left. the revolutionary forces were set against each other by the quarrel of Villa and Carranza After establishing or der in Vera Cruz, true to the fixed rolicy of the president. our troops lad been withdrawn from Mexico. For the first eight or nine months Villa was the more successful, but finally Carranza, with the aid of Gen. | eral Obregon, greatly diminished Will las prestige and control in a series Of military victories. In the mean time, the president patiently waited in hope that peace might come to Mexico without the loss of thousands upon thousands of American lives and millions upon millions of treasure. in long war of intervention. In this crisis and in order to solve the prob lem, the president accepted the offer of mediation of Brazil, Argentina
New Britain herald., 1916-10-19

Chili and the other Latin-AEICrira countries and their representatives all sat down to consider whether or rot the recognition of Carranza, since
 he had more resources and controlled
 more territory than all the other
 fo ctional leaders put together would
 not bring the quickest peace and or
 der to Mexico. The delegates from
 Latin-AmeriCa who conferred on this
 problem with Secretary Lansing rep
 resented all the people of the re-
 public on this continent; people of
 Spanish extraction and of the Catho-
 lie religion, and for these two req
 sons, naturally sympathetic with the suffering of the Mexican people And 1t was not until these diplomatic rep resentatives of the SpaniSh-American and Catholic people of the republics
 of Latin-America urged as a neces-
 sary step to the stability of Mexico, the recognition of General Carranza,
 that MT. Lansing and President Will
 son aoquiesced in their judgment and
 recognized the Carranza government. "But my fellow citizens. though
 hundreds of American and Mexican lives have been lost, innumerable out
 rages and millions of dollars worth
 
 days of revolution in Mexico, such conditions always prevail in 8 land | distraught with war and revolution. Churches and church property, and the sacred persons of men and wom- en whose lives are dedicated to re- 1 ligion have been violated in many of l the ravaged countries of Europe by ] the trained soldiery of certain of the so-called civilized nations of Europe
 on both sides of the controversy. And 1 back in 1864 when the Juarez gov 1 ernment had just been established in Mexico, Abraham Lincoln, the s~eat- | est president we ever had, in ~ending | our new diplomatic representative to 1 Mexico, told him to tell the Mexican people that although there were thou sands of claims for the loss of Amer
 ican lives and property in Mexico on 1 MT. Lincoln's desk. and although a 1 member of the American Legation : had been murdered, President Lincoln i would not press these claims at that time, because as he said a republican form of government may only prevail after long trial and ordeal. and the Mexican people have a right to ex- 1 pect greater sympathy from us than 1 from any other quarter of the earth What was the nXed poncy toward | Mexico of Abraham Lincoln in times 1 of greater stress than these has been ] the fixed and determined policy of 1 President Wilson.
 Every false calummy and criti- 1 cism that the ingenuity of malice or l the resourcefulness of ignorance l could command, was piled upon the
 hurdened shoulders and scared into ! the furrowed brow of Abraham Lin / coin. And every leader of a great
 people knows and must expect un-
 fair and unfounded criticism of his
 acts and motives. If more men have 1 not clearly understood the Mexican
 policy of President Wilson, it has
 been due in part to the fact that he
 has not explained it. But l remem- l Der that the president once said to
