He charged that Americana had been the victims of "murder. t8 plunder"; that the government at Washington- afforded them no protection whatever, and that "neither the promises and menaces of President Wilson nor the pledges in Democratic platforms were worth the paper on which they were written or the breath expended in uttering ihem." . . , The conditions depicted then are ihe conditions, intensified, existing today. ,., Over three years ago on June 20. 1 9 1 6 Present Wilson through his Secretary of State, admitted that there had been cor tinuous bloodshed and disorder in Mexico and that Americans had been barbarously murdered and vast properties developed by Amen can capital and enterprise destroyed. Six year ago August 27. 1913 President Wilson specifi cally promised to protect Americans and "vigilantly vatch the for tunes of those Americana who cannot get away, and 00 the same date instructed the American Consul General and consular agent in Mexico "to notify all officials, military or civil exercise author ity, that thry would be held strictly responsible for any harm done to Americans or for injury to their property." , , "These were fine words," said Theodore Roosevelt.

This graphic presentation called the Murder Map of Mex ico" has created the most profound impression at Washington and throughout the country.
