MEXICO AND THE
UNITED STATES


There are two phases of the MeXi-
can question. There are, indeed, more
than two, but there are two that
stand out conspicuously and impress
ively. The first is that we do not
want war with Mexico; we do not
want to intervene in that country. We
have no desire to acquire control ov-
or Mexico. permanently or temporar-
ilv. This is true now and has always
been true, although Mexico has had
some reason to think otherwise. But
now we are more than ever DESTROYS
that our southern neighbors take care
of their own affairs. For now, more
than ever. VIC have plenty to occupy
our attention at home. The great
problems of reconstruction have some
how TO be solved, and we need to con-
centrate our thought and our powers
mon them, The restoration of normal
conditions will be difficult as it is.
We have trouble enough on our hands.
and we have no wish to add to them.
The country now is burdened with
heavy war debt. to which intervention
in Mexico would surely add hundreds
of millions. There could be no inter-
vention without bloodshed and we
have had enough of that in the last two
wears To satisfy any warlike propen-
stiles we NAV have as a nation for at
least generation. Every considera-
ton of self-interest is against inter
yention.s
And vet. Mexico presents situa-
tion that we cannot longer ignore,
that we have. indeed, ignored too long.
II is n situation that calls for a def
mite policy which can be firmly ad-
hered to. It is unfortunate that we
have made too many gestures in that
direction and have created the i'm
preston in Mexico that we are limit
ed to gestures. 1t is unfortunate that
our disinterestednes is doubted and
our good faith suspected, although our
dealings with our, other Latin-Ameri-
can peoples should, in the main, be ev-
lidence of both. These dispositions on
the part of the Mexicans cannot be
overcome unless the government at
Washington is united upon course
of action that is based upon obvious
Justice, and unless the Mexicans can
be convinced that we are in earnest
about it. A better knowledge of con-

| a letter to old friends here he declares
it was the water which did the dam
age and that the wind did not DO any
damage about Corpus Christi to speak
Of.
THE storm did probably several

not killed by storms They will raise
the grade Of the streets about ten feet
SO as to be above all future storms and
put In a seawall and there will be no
further danger. We are mucn better

solid main land to build on.
From our upstairs window we could
watch the houses go down ono after
another and speculated on how long
1t would be before the waves would
reach ours. The houses between tho
bay and ours formed a protection for
the waves to beat against. The waves
would undermine house and then as
it fell over pound 1t to pieces ana the
wreckage from 1t would help tear down
the next one.
when we had only about an hour
between US and destruction the wind
shifted to the southeast. which gave
Us new lease On life since there were
more houses that had to go down be-
fore it reached US. That Is what saved
US.
THE water stood forty-nine inches
on the first floor of our house. 1t
stopped coming up at O'Clock at night
and by morning had gone down SO
that Is was Just off Of the front porch.
Corpus Christ! Is q nice place to

Tie wind was not stiff enough to do
any damage to speak Of on the bluff.

of the damage being done down town.
They went to bed and slept thru 1t
and in the morning started down and
found tho town wreck. They were
somewhat surprised.
1T was simply a fifteen foot wall OF
water or tital wave banked up by
week OF wind from the northeast that
flooded the town. None Of the brick
buildings ir the business center were
damaged except that floating debris
broke ali the plate glass and the goods
were soaked. Merchants slept peaceful
ly On the bluffs not knowing that the
water was coming into their stores.
Three different concerns who found
out about the water worked for hours
putting things on top shelves and they

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
called the VICTORIOUS FIFTH, be
cause, when it has been fioated the
people of the country will be eelebrat-
ing the victorious peace.
The Fifth Loan will come about mid
April, or just two years after the date
upon which we entered the war. It viii
be more of a peace loan than war
loan. 1t will be loan TO make the final
settlement, squaring up the bill roi
the war while the celebration of the
victory is still going on and the men
are streaming back from France by
hundreds of thousands.
A total of from Eve to six billions
will probably be offered What the
money is needed for and why it Is
needed is worth putting compactly
together. 1t brings to mind at glance
what is demanded still by the great
tasks imposed by peace.
These are some Of the chief items
/. Care for the American soldiers
in the Army Of Occupation.
2 Providing for the second army
in the area behind the zone of occu-
| patton
8. Bringing home soldiers who have
been released from war duties.
4. Demobilizing millions of men up

5. Keeping up the environments and
hospitals in this country.
| 6. Re-habilitating and re-educatins
men who have been wounded.
Z. Reconstruction work for the sol
i diers and sailors.
Every one of the millions of mer
| represented on this list have shared il
doing the nations work abroad.
Any American who stands by thu
country will not fail to see now tina
the peace debt is paid for the mel
who have won peace.
