H "By following, not a policy of M 'watchful waiting' but of mischievous H meddling," said Mr. Mondell, "coupl- 1 ed with baso betrayal and callous in- ,H difference to the welfare and safety H of American citizens has the admin- lH istration lost tho respect and confi- jH dence and earned the contempt of IH first one and then another and fin- H ally all the people of Mexico.

The administration, the speaker de- ' H clared, had "ignored past American , H practice in international intercourse, H in its plan of personal vengeance ,H against Huerta and then by recognlz- , H ing Carranza had given the clearest H and most convincing proof of the er- H ror and insincerity of its declarations H that no government would ever bo H recognized which did not have a con- , H stitutional basis for its authority."
