ON ire MERITS.

The proposed contract Of friendship
and service to France will come up
soon in the senate for acceptance or
rejection. OF the sentiments of this
nation toward our sister republic, for
tunately, there can be not a moments
doubt. The attitude of our senate and
our people on the question Of pledgipg
this aid to France in case of need will
not be affected in the slightest degree
by the circumstance that the promise
was made by President Wilson to Pre-
mier Clemenoeau as q consideration for
that astute statesman's acquiescence
in the rainbow scheme which met de-
feat at Washington last Wednesday.

point blank the only compromise tho

senate standing immovably for Amer

of compromise has been offered al

which he denounced as notification

nj appears to be clearer every day
i that those in control Of the present
national administration d, not intend
TO Intervene in Mexico nor win the
honor Of the country be defended
through armed forces. Another murder
has been added to the already long list
In the killing by federal soldier OF
James Wallace. an American. There Is
nothing new or startling about this.
Americans are left without protection
whom they cross the border. Their
own government will not protect
them and the Carranza govern
ment Of Mexico has no intention
Of doing So To admit American citi-
senship in Mexico is to court insult and
death. And this will go on just as long
as we continue the spineiess policy we
have adopted in dealing with that coun-
try.
Ordinarily the seyerins of diplomatic
relations by this country with another
power would be but the preliminary
step to war. But this is not at all
likely to be the case in the event that
happens with Mexico. For some un-
known reason the administration is
determined to sidetrack actual invasion
of Mexican territory unless it is to send
small number of our troops across
the border on wild goose chases SINH
lar to those we have seen before. The
continual numbering, kidnapping or
unlawful Imprisonment of Americans
by Mexicans 10 not considered at
Washington sufficient grounds to pun
fish the government responsible. We
may sever diplomatic relations and
declare Mexico an international out
law, but the crimes against this coun-
try will continue. The Carranza gov
eminent is irresponsible and the revo-
lutionary leaders are worse. II our
armies should invade Mexico the
chances are that for the first time In
many years that country and its peo-
pie would be given a stable govern
ment, there would be progress where
there is nothing now but destruction
and Mexico would be made safe for
Americans. And without doubt force
Is now the. only argument that the
Mexican government or the Mexican
people can understand.
If American citizens were receiving
the same treatment in Canada that
they are in Mexico the United States
would be quick to demand that repara-
tion be made and If it was not would
proceed to see satisfaction was given.
But there is never likely to be such a
situation, for Canada has a democratic
form Of government and law-abiding
people. But Canada stands in the
same relationship to the United States
as Mexico. Why then should we toll
crate such outrages in Mexico? Rea-
sonabls people, even those who call
themselves pacihcists, cannot under
y .
4 stand the weak attitude taken by the
administration. With representatives
of the United States held in prison in
Mexico and that country refusing tc
liberate them. with Americans being
shot down and murdered in cold blood
we remain inactive preferring to as
sumo = diplomatic attitude. If there
was less diplomacy and more definite
action In dealing with Mexico, these
crimes would cease. Certainly the stu.
ation II full Of menace-menace thai
