Real Resssa LIZ DsA
While the immediate cause Of IT,

might be attributed to the treatnsut
OF Consular Agent jenkins, the real
reason lies much deeper than that
For years the American Govern
msnt has been subjected t. annoy-
ances. some petty. some much more
|conseouential. on the part OF Asx-
leo.
Despite numerous warnings these
actions have been kept up. Bandits
have repeatedly raided American ter
ritory: American citizens have been
robbed and murdered: two American
army officers were captured and he1l
for ransom and released only upon
payment. by the United States Gov
ernment, OF that ransom-or part OF
IL. the rescuing party getting off
after turning over half what had been
demanded.
The last case prior TO the Jenkins
affair was the murder by Mexicans Of
two American army aviators in Low

! way, while on patrol. and forced to
come down.
