AMERICA Will WELCOME THE
OF SANITY TO MEXICO

lew Americans desire OF ever did desire to carry general
military intervention into Mexico. If the Washington
government had not blundered stupidity and continually
from the very beginning Of the revolution, III feeling would
have arisen Americans and American rights would not
have been violated and Mexcos difficulties would have
been domestic not international What's done is DONE but
there is no need to keep blunuering.
Carranza never nerted Americas good VIII support
Nobody in the United States regrets his fail He not only
failed mseraby to stabilize Mexico, but he did his utmost
embtter al the respectable powers Of earth. He
dermeBt not merely to his country but to the civil
lied world
He gone now and cannot recover control The stu
alton has gbt beyond him; he succeeded in building
up following that would rise above temporary defeat and
revive but on the contrary his policies bred enemies both
within and without the country be violated
Those Mcans who have wTested the ruling power from
Carranza have It their power dispose for all
OF the menace Of military Intervention by the great nations
The opportunity is with them now, but It VIII not last long
Without doubt If Republican administration shall be
elected IN the United States this fa radical change in
temper toward Mexico viii take place at Washington at
90 seconds after March next
Mexico nay as vel face the facts. The people OF the
United States dislike the thought Of general military inter-
yenon, but they do not dislike that much they
denim the entire policy Of the Washington government for
the last nine years toward Mexico. They VIII favor
versa Of that policy rather than continuance Of the
dions Of these dsgTaceful years. And Mexico viii have
TO take It as It comes Mexico nay call It the abuse of
force, she may whine and complain but whatever the
United States government may do after March next to
bring about change Of heart IN Mexico VIII be for the
good Of Mexico and for the good Of mankind, Just chas-
tseent but even more truly great and lasting service TO
civilization
The men who have seized from caranza the governing
power Mexico should be left free do what they please
with Mexico and Mezoaus, far the United States is
concerned; but they VIII not be permitted to follow
checked the course Of their predecessors toward Americans
and American rights
So far the latest revolution mas proceeded in remark
ably orderly fashion, with little fighting, nothing that
compares with the not Of rapine, murder and destruction
which has accompanied the previous outbreaks Americans
watching the revolution hopefully and the leaders
have widespread approval for the they have
pursued so far.
If the leaders carry ont their decent fair, and
humane promises there VIII be friction past dif
ferences be adjusted; good VII be restored
be resumed; ees return and once de-
vote themselves to work Of development and service;
finances be made sound adequate loans be had;
railroads and all public utilities be put in order; schools
be reopened; the law courts interpret
the rules Of equity
It IS pleasing dream; VIII It come true2 1t may be
said that the few months VIII decide what shall hap
pen Mexico. Americans vel disposed toward the
leaders now and win welcome every indication Of Mecos
to sanity Upon those leaders rests the
sp0nsby, for Aercas policy after March next, what
mistakes the present administration may make
VII be determined upon the facts shown by develop
ments from this time
