Mexico Has Obtuse Un:
del-standing.
e
i i ' r
A Blatcmunt recently given out nt
Mexico City by Senor Salvador I)li'tfo
Fernandez, ''chief of staff in charge
of foreign relation' reads as fol
lows: 'Tho conference now meeting at
Paris has considere I thi rerognition
of the Monroe due-trine. Some govern-
hp.ve to Jo in order to brine; Italy to
terms is to shut, off her supplies. And
there need be no question that they
ale p repaid! to do ihut very thing r
it comes to (he worst. j
The fact, too, that Italy needs tho
mural support of tho allies will have
its weight when once the Italians be
gin to reason soberly. They will rea-
meats, friends of Mexico, have asked j listo that Cennany sympathy is a sa.l
Mexico for its opinion regarding the exchange for the respect and friend
doctrine and tho Mexican department jsdiip of honest nations,
of foreign relations has answered that ' "
Where Church Give Prac
tical Aid.
the Mexican government hiiH not rec
ognized and will not recognize the
Monroe doctrine or any other doctrine
Mint attacks the sovereignty and inde--.r"'Ienre
of Mexico."
u. agfrn we see how the Mexican
"'ornpipnt loves Uncle Ham. and how

"" doctrine.

:M he sptiidf ically designed rot :
' """k" but to protect and defend
; ii 'sovereignty and independence of j
Mcx co." It was applied to that pur- '
ivse with telling effect in the mo t ,
critical period of Mexican history, at
the close of our Civil war, when
France had inti rvened in Mexico and
given the country an Kurepenn rulei
in the person of Maximilian, an Aus
trian prince. The United States or
dered out Maximilian and his Kreneh
supporters and gave Mexico a ehunci
to work out her own freedom.
The Monroe doctrine has been ap
plied with hardly less effect, though
. less spectacularly, in the.us hut few
turbulent years, when nothing but
Uncle Sam's club kept Mexico's Kurii
peuu creditors from intervening and
taking possession of the counts y to
satisfy their claims. Indeed, the ivnt
of the world has been di-pnsed to find,
fault with the United States on the
giound that it has been altogether too
solicitous for .Mexico's "sovereignty
and independence' keeping r uuvt
i IT to an extent that was tu. 'or M.
ico's own good.
