PROTECTION PACT
FOR ALL AMERICAS
What President Wilson Told
the Mexican Editors.
Mexicans and Loyal Men In All the
American Countries Should Plant
Seeds OF Trust and
Confidence.

Washington. - Pan -Americanism, a
pact Of all the Americas for self-pro-
tective purposes, is advocated by Presi-
dent Wilson.
This developed with the authorized
publication of President Wilson's
recent address to group of Mexican
editors visiting here.
Declaring the Monroe Doctrine to. be
a case of telling Central America:
I'VE are going to be big brother to
you whether you want US to be or
not" the President said the policy
contained nothing that protects Mex
leo from aggression from U.S."
AS a result, the President declared
he had observed some sister republics
to the South were uneasy lest "our
self-appointed protection (Monroe Doc
trine might be for our own benefit
and our own interest and not for the
interest of our neighbors"
Such an arrangement, he said, Twill
have to be the foundation of the fu-
tue life of the nations of the world.
The whole family of nations will have
to guarantee to each nation that no
nation shall violate its political in
dependence or its territorial integrity.
That is the only conceivable basis for
the future peace of the world, and |
must admit was anxious to have the
states of the two continents of Amer
CT hn to 1,A 81 Ia
world as to how to make a basis of
peace.
Peace can only come by trust. If
you can once get situation of trust,
then you have got situation of per-
manent peace. Therefore, everyone
Of us, it seems to me, owes it as a
patriotic duty to his own country to
plant the seeds of trust and confidence
instead of seeds of suspicion"
The President declared Americas
attitude toward Mexico is mot mere
ly the sort of friendship which
prompts one not to do his neighbor
any harm, but the sort of friendship
which earnestly desires to do his
neighbor service"
He declared the administration
policy was that "the internal settle
ment of the affairs of Mexico was
none of our business" He then dis
cussed the punitive expedition after
the bandit Villa, saying:
when we sent troops into Mexico
our sincere desire was nothing else
than to asst you to get rid of man
who was making the settlement of
your affairs for the time being impos-
sible. We had no desire to use our
troops for any other purpose, and l
was in hopes that by assisting in that
way and then Immediately withdraw
ing, l might give substantial proof of
the truth of the assurance that | had
given your government through Presi-
dent Carranza"

POUND AND HALF
week BEEF RATION
Appeal For Voluntary Reduction
BY People.
Wants People To Substitute Fresh
Pork, Bacon, Ham and.
Sausage.

Washington.-To meet the needs of
the American and Allied Armies and
the civilian populations of France,
Great Britain and Italy, the American
people are requested by the Food Ad-
ministration to place themselves on a
limited beef allowance from now until
next September Is.
Householders were asked not under
any circumstances" to buy more than
one and one-half pounds, including the
bone, for each person in the house
hold.
Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly, beef steak more
than one meal weekly and roast beef
more than one meal weekly.
1.-The demand for beef for our army,
the armies of the Allies and their
civilian populations for this summer"
said the Food Administrations an
nouncement, ARE beyond our present
surplus. On the other hand, We have
enough increased supply of pork this
summer to permit economical expan-
sion in it's use. 1t therefore will be
direct service to our armies and the
Allies If our people will in some &C.
gree substitute fresh pork, bacon,
ham and sausage for beef products.
THE public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping, and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Allies,
and the increasing demand for our
growing Army, with the ductuating
supplies of local beef in France, all
make it Impossible to determine
policies for long period in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
in all meat consumption; we wish
now to emphasize further reduction OF
beef by the substitution of pork. 1t
is anticipated that this program will
hold good until September Is, and the
cooperation of the public is most
earnestly requested"
