Show "HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR" A SHALLOW VCY Vf CREATE FALSE SENTJMENT. . , Written by Gsoree Soutticrland, United States Senator From UtaB w . r". - if ly resisted. We took Vera Cruz inC( order to obtain a salute to the flag, i Nineteen of our marines were killed and many wounded. One hundred fifty Mexicans were killed and many wounded. Our guns raked the streets of Vera Cruz with shells. We held the port for several months until Huerta went out and Carranza came in and when Carranza threatened we left. The salute has not been obtained ob-tained to this day. After the murder mur-der of our citizens at Columbus we sent the army into Mexico and many pitched battles have taken place. Our soldiers and citizens have been killed in these battles. We were not kept out of war but war ws waged In a t'mid, weak and Intermittent manner. man-ner. To paraphrase Mr. Root, "We threatened with the fist and struck with the finger." The result of the whole business is, we not only bave no peace in Mexico but have brought about a situation, that gravely threatens threat-ens us with war. When the war in Europe ceases, Germany, England; and France will insist upon the payment pay-ment of their claims against Mexico amounting to $-100,000,000.00. They The Democratic slogan "Thank God for Wilson, lie has kept us out of war" is as shallow a cry as ever has been uttered to create false sentiment. senti-ment. So far as Europe is concerned nobody no-body is entitled to any credit for keeping keep-ing us out of war because no country In Europe wanted war with us and no one in the United States wanted war with them. As well might some peaceful citizen take credit for keeping keep-ing two persons from engaging in a physical encounter which both of them were anxious to avoid. The trouble with the Administration Administra-tion in its dealing with the European situation lias been that it has attempted attemp-ted to enforce our neutral rights by making extravagant threats which we never meant to keep and which the Governments of Europe have thoroughly understood would not be kept. This has put us in a ridiculous attitude and has brought about on their part nothing but a feeling of contempt. A nation, like an individual, individ-ual, should make no threats which it does not Intend to make good We have not, with reference to Mexico, however, been kept out of war, but Mr. Wilson has waged war timidly, giving tlie Mexicans to understand that we would retreat if they strong- will have the power behind the demand de-mand to enforce it the most stupen: dous military machine the world haa ever beheld They will demand that we compel Mexico to pay or pay ourselves our-selves and that we restore peace and order to Mexico or stand one side and occupy the humiliating position of mere lookers on while they do it. The Monroe doctrine will be in real perij and we shall be compelled to adopt a policy of resolution and flrmpess, which has not yet been shown, or se3-that se3-that vital policy of Rational defense disappear. The question which the voters of this state must ask themselves them-selves is not whether they prefer peace to war because that is a question ques-tion which answers itself, but whether wheth-er they desire a firm, courageous policy poli-cy of "saying what we mean and meaning what we say" which will bring lasting peace or a, temporizing weak, vacoilating poli,cy which Vinot calculated to bring lasting, peace but only to postpone war.
