lives lI and property property prop prop- erty of our nationals These must be he made secure as secure as Is Ig possible In a country where among amon- the masses of or tho the people there thero is a deep distrust of ot us Then Theil we a ask k that with our help or without it Mexico feed iced herself and drive out disease There will be little banditry if iC Mexico gets sets to tt woi work k The Tho miseries rles o of Mexico must be as as- as Her Tier poor naked starving dying peons call can out for help Thc They do not wish constant CO war and only 1 per cent of her people are re act actually In Inthe Inthe inthe the war but all 11 are arc suffering We Ve cannot maintain our sel self respect or betrue bo be true to the hi highest hest dictates of oC humanity humanity human human-
