IT. in the knowledge OF past facts,
American companies do 90 into Mexico
again, let the concession cover
standing American army-employed
and maintained by said companies
for their protection.
There was a howl OF condemnati
against the United States government
because the Americans in Mexico were
not protected during the recent
trouble
NOW IS the time 10 protect Ameri-
can capital America is a good sized
country, largely undeveloped. We
need oil; we have oil Let US find and
develop our own fields.
If American capital will go into
Mexico the United States government
should compel the companies 10 pro-
tect its citizens employed by such
companies and taken out Of the safety
assured in the United States
The American soldier enlists to pro-
tect his country-not the interests Of
