PRESIDENT WILSON may have
made mistakes. but he is not MAX
ing any mistake in moving heaven
and earth If necessary to keep this
country out of war with Mexico.
The poor, poverty stricken, litter
ate Mexicans are not SO much to
blame. It is their conscienceless
leaders who teach hatred Of the
Gringo. If the millions of money
that would have to be expended at
war with Mexico could be used to
rehabilitate the industries Of the
country and plant q little red school
house in every community of that ILL
fatedcountry there would be no more
need Of an army patrol along the
Mexican border than there is along
the Canadian border. The Ameri-
can public school system establish
ed Mexico would make the border
more secure than an army Of occu-
patton.
