FINISH THE JOB IN MEXICO

For the third time under the present
administration United States troops are
in Mexico, called there by outrages up
on American citizens, and it will gem
orally be hoped it is the last time such
invasion will be necessary.
The inability of Carranza, quite as
probable his disinclination, to maintain
responsible government in Mexico has
Deem demonstrated beyond question. He
can, or will, not protect human life, full
fill international obligations or deal
honestly with subjects or contemporar-
les. American property and American
life command no respect in that coun-
try and it is time they did.
Former incursions into Mexico have
been ridiculous and damaging to this
country because they have not been
successful. They have weakened the
respect of the Mexicans for Americans
They have rendered more difficult sue.

more failure. The troops are in Mexico
