Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, 'Tm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept us
out of war"
Ask such men short question.
Ask them, "Out of what war;"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of the
European War? No. He has himself
in a formal address to congress spok-
en- of the European war as "a war
with which we have nothing to do, a
war whose causes do not touch u.s."
How could Mr.. Wilson keep us out
Of war with which we have nothing
to do and whose causes do not touch
us?
Did he keep the rest of the western
hemisphere out of the European war?
of the world is involved in it; the
only people in it are the colonies Of
European powers and they had no
voice in their fate, for they were au
tomatically' at war when their mother
governments went to war. Who kept
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, out Of
the European war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Next
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
In our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe In Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was In the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out of war with
Mexico. He put an embargo on arms
30 that American weapons would not
De sent across the boundary, and he
'efused to interfere in Mexican affairs.
When he left office Mexicans liked
Americans and Americans were safe
n Mexico. Since he left Office Mexi-
,ans hate Americans and Americans
iare not remain In Mexico. Did Mr.. |
Wilson keep us out of war with Mexi-
%? Not If words mean anything
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out Of
he European war and he did not keep |
IS out Of war with Mexico
Out Of what, war, then? Detroit |
