DOES NOT FEAR MEXICO;
cARRANZA TOO SENSIBLE

This government has nothing seri.
ously to fear from the Germans in
Mexico, and nothing whatever to fear
that the Mexican government will as.
sist Germany" declared former Gov.
John Lind Of Minnesota, President
Wilson's special commissioner to
Mexico in 1915, at the Willard.
There are doubtless Germans in
Mexico and moreover there is no
doubt that Germans have gone into
Mexico from the United States, but
they could 60 nowhere else. They
certainly could not have been expect
ed to go to Canada or to Cuba, and
they counldn't get to South America
or to Germany.
"Carranza is too sensible man to
cooperate with the Germans against
the United States. What possible
advantage could come to him or Mexi-
co by such course? Certainly Ger.
many is not promising prospect just
now for any nation to tie to.
II have no fear that the Germans
in the United States will cause us any
serious trouble: Necessarily there
are cranks among the Germans, as
among other races, and it is just as
incumbent upon the government and
the people of this country now to pro.
tect the good loyal Germans here
against the cranks of their own mum.
ber as it is to protect the mass of
American citizens. believe that
throughout the United States the vast
majority of German citizens are In
tensly loyal. In my own state, where
we have a large number Of Germans
I have absolutely no apprehension
whatever that they are disloyal.-
