with with- drawing I I might give s substantial proof of the assurances es that I had given your government through PresIdent President President Pres Pres- ident Carranza HUN PROPAGANDA I And at the present time It distresses distresses distresses dis dis- dis- dis tresses me to learn that certain Influences influences In which I assume assume to be German German German Ger Ger- man in their origin are trying to tomake tomake make a wrong Impression throughout Mexico as to o the purposes of the United States and not only a wrong impression but to give an absolutely untrue account of things that happen I I i You know the distressing things that I have been happening Just off our coasts You know of the vessels that have been sunk I 1 ye yesterday re received received re- re a quotation from a p paper per In Guadalajara which stated that thirteen thirteen thirteen thir thir- teen of our battleships had been sunk off oil the ca capes caes es of ot the Chesapeake You see how dreadful It IS to have people so radically misinformed It was added that our navy department was withholding the truth truth with reg regard rd to these I have no doubt that thab I the publisher of the paper published that In perfect Innocence without intending in intending in- in II tending to convey y wrong impressions in I but it is evidence that allegations of that sort proceed from those who wish to make trouble between Mexico and the United States I I SERVICE BY BYi AMERICA Now for the time being at any rate late and I hope it will not be a short I I I tithe time the Influence of the United States I Is somewhat pervasive In the affairs affairs' of the world and I believe that It Is pervasive because the nations o of ot the he il world which are less powerful than some of the greatest nations are com COUI Ing to believe our sincere desire lesire is to todo todo do disinterested service We Ve are the the thel j champions of at those nations which I t have not had a military standing which I erable enable them to compete with me tue strongest nations in the world and I 1 look forward with pride to the t time e which I hope will wiil soon come when we e can give substantial evidence not only that We ve do not want anything out ot this war but that we would not accept anything out of It It that it is absolutely absolute absolute- ly a case of or disinterested action If It you will watch the attitude of our people people peo peo- peo- peo pIe you will see that nothing stirs them so o deeply as assurances that tm true war var so 50 far as we are concerned is for idealistic objects One of the difficulties difficulties difficulties ties that I experienced during the first three years of the war the years when fh the United States w was not in the war var I I I was s in t getting th i the foreign ott office c of i European nations to believe that the United States was vas seeking nothing for herself that her neutrality was not riot selfish selfish- and that if she came In she would not come In to get anything substantial substantial sub sub- out of the war any material object any territory or trade or anything anything anything any any- i thing else of f that sort HARD TO TO BELIEVE I In some of the foreign offices there I were men who personally knew me I and they believed I hope that I was was i sincere in hl assuring them that our purposes purposes pur pur- poses were vere disinterested but pur I they th thought that these assurances came from an academic gentleman removed from the ordinary sources of Information information I tion and speaking the idealistic purposes purposes purposes pur pur- poses of the cloister They did not be believe believe believe be- be lieve that I was speaking the real heart of the American people and I knew all along that I was Now I believe that everybody who comes cornes Into contact with wih the American people peo pro pIe knows that I L Lam am speaking their speaking their purposes purposes The other night In New York at atthe atthe athe the he opening of the campaign for funds for our Red Cross I made made an an address I 1 had not riot intended to refer refer to to fo Russia I I but 1 was speaking without notes and andin andin andin in the course of what I said my own I I thought was led lo to Russia and I said that we meant to stand by Russia justas Just Justas as firmly as we would stand by France Trance or England or any other of the allies AUDIENCE CHEERS The audience to which I was speakIng speakIng speaking speak speak- ing was not an audience from which I 1 would have expected an enthusiastic enthusiastic response to that It was rather too well dressed It was not an au audience audience audience au- au in other words made of the class of people who would I you suppose sup sup- pose pe to have the most Intimate feel- feel SUP SUP-I I I i I I i I I I Ing for the sufferings of the ordinary man in Russia but that audience I Jumped into the aisles the whole audience audience audience au au- au- au rose to its feet and nothing that I had said on that occasion aroused anything like the enthusiasm that that single sentence aroused Now there Is a sample gentlemen We cannot make anything out of Rus Rus- I sia We Ve cannot make anything out of standing by Russia at this time time the the most remote of the European nations so far as we are concerned the one with which we have had the least connections connections connections con con- in trade and advantage advantage ana ana yet the people of the United States rose to that suggestion as to no other that I made In that address That is the heart of America and we are ready to show you by any act of friendship that you may propose our real feelings toward Mexico I ELIMINATE BULLY Some of us if I may say so privately privately privately look back with regret on some of the of relation more the more ancient relations relations' ns that we have had with Mexico long before our generation and America If I may so express it would now feel ashamed to toI take advantage of a neighbor Sp I hope that you can carry back to YOU homes something better than the asI assurances as assurances as- as of words You have had contact contact contact con con- tact with our people You know your own personal reception You know how gladly we have opened to you the door of every establishment that you wanted to see and have shown you Just what we were doing and I hope you have g gained the right Impression impression im Im- Im- Im as why we were doing it We Ve are doing it so that the world may never her hereafter after have ha-e to fear rear the only I thing that any nation had to dread the unjust and selfish aggression of another nation I |
