gathering.
TIip subject of 111 talk wan tlip
crisis rpaclipcl by tlio country In Its
foreign rolatlonii. In speaking of
the. Mexican situation, he declared
that the government had made three
mistakes. The first In not recogniz
ing lluerta, the Heoond In not pro
hibiting shipment of arms Into the
country, and the third was the seiz
ure of Vera Crux. "If we are oblig
ed to Intervene In Mexico, an now
seems probable," lie sold, "we must
be prepared for a long hard cam
paign. It will hit at our homes, It
will kill or cripple our suns and it
will Increase our taxes. We were
sevpnty-flve millions short on the
last fiscal year. Intervention in Mex
ico will mean the expenditure of
many millions more and that means
additional taxation. It would Ip a
costly undertaking, both in lives and
money It In for those to whom we
have entrusted the government, to
decide what shall be done. What
ever they decide Is for the best, we
must abide by and back up the ad
ministration. It would take n long
time to drill and equip a force sulll
(lent to cope with the Mexican slt
. ii.iiniii. Preparedness is the safe-
guard of peace, and a nation united
and prepared Is not likely to be at
tacked." Mr. Taft also discussed other mat
in lie declared his belief that
the direct primary had not worked
well, especially for the minor oltlces,
and expressed himself as In favor of
u change to a modlllcd form of the
primary system. Party government,
he said, was dependent upon the con
vention system.
