GEO. B. WINTON'S VIEWS
ON THE MEXICAN PROBLEM

DR.. George B. Winton, a missionary
IN Mexico for many years and who is
now editorial secretary of the COM
mittee on cooperation in Latin Amer
lea for the Interchurch World Move
ment, in it's world survey of religious
social and economic conditions, has
just returned from Mexico and thru
the Interchurch Movements Chicago
headquarters has issued an interest
ing statement concerning the Mexican
situation.
There is no hostility to Mexico on
the part Of either Senator Fall or Of
the American Oil interests, but only
to the Carranza Government, accord
ing to DR.. Winton The oil interests
hostility, like that Of Senator Fall in
introducing his resolution calling on
the President to sever diplomatic re
lations with the Mexican government,
is not to the country or to the people,
but to the government Of Carranza.
The danger in the present situation,
DR.. Winton said, is that it is next to
impossible to keep clear the distinct
ion between the Carranza government
and the Mexican nation.
IF we go to war with one, we shall
| be going TO war with both," he said,
"and it seems hardly worth while to
risk that calamity in order to over
throw a government which in any
case has only got another4year to run.
Tt is like burning down the house in
order to eat roast pig"
"It seems rather ironical that the
country which had most to do with
the idea of League of Nations to
keep the peace of the world and which
has expressed most sympathy with
the weaker nations, Should now be the
first country in the world to contem
plate breaking the peace, and that in
| the case of nation so much weaker
| than itself. Whatever we may think
of the discretion of President Wilson's
too proud to fight on the occasion
when he first used the phrase, it GER
tainly ought to be applicable to the
present situation"
The effect of an aggressive atti-
tude, not only on Mexico, but on 9TH
er Latin American countries. pr VIM
ton said, would be depicrable SO far
IS Missionary enterprise WAS concern
| ed, and he thought that the churches
| oil the country as whole were strong
| " opposed to armed intervention. On
| the committee on cooperation in Latin
America there are official represer-
tatives Of thirty American and Cana
dian churches and they were unani-
mously of the opinion that interven-
ton at this time would be calamity
American missions, both in Mexico
and in Southern countries, Dr.. Win
ton declared, were just now in an ull-
usually f1ourishing condition. Ameri-
can missionaries were liked and trust
ed and the United States itself was
admired and respected as never be-
fore on account Of the part it played
in the European war.
/ War with Mexico now would mean
| the undoing of years of labor, and its
effect would be felt throughout Latin
America, not only in the mission field,
but in commercial relations generally.

Other Generals of
The american Staff

When one thinks Of the American
army the two men that como to mind
after Pershing are Billiard and Lig-
gett. Billiard represents the student
type, and, in fact, the characteristic
which chiefly distinguishes American
officers from the British and the
French is that many of them look
like college professors.
The Germans seem to think man
cannot be a good commanding officer
unless he looks like an animal with a
meaty face and with scowls that
never come off. If the nature of the
German officers is reflected by their
appearance I pity the soldiers whom
they rule! On the other hand, the
face of General Billiard has some
thing OF the refinement of Joseph Fl.
Choate; it is distinctly the counte-
nance Of thinker

in the Philippines and is now the
head of general headquarters at
Treves, in Germany.
He came up for my sitting from
Paris to Treves in his own automo-
bile, which had had eight punctures
on the way, and the generals indig-
nant recital of these adventures gave
me an entirely new understanding of
the resources Of the English Ian
guage.
A friend told me that what really
aroused his wrath was the fact that
it was his own automobile that had
had all these accidents-that he didn't
