J tlie eov!-n,meut of the Fulled States Intervened In Mexico to coi.tinl the In ternal affairs of that Independent conn- ( try and to 'enforce the will of the i American president In those affairs by j threat, by economic pressure ami by ! force of arms. 1 ou wht;t claim or r!i;ht did this Intervention proceed? Not to neetire respect for American rUthts, not to protect the lives or proji erly of our cltlxoas. not to assert tho laws of nations, not to compel observ ance of the Jaw of hujnntilty. On the contrary. Iluerta'n was the only power In Mexico to which appeal could l)c imiuo lor proim-uoii ui i.n- ui riurviw. That was the only power which, in fact, did protect, cither American or F.e.ropcati or Mexican. It was only within tha territory where lliierta ruled that comparative peaeo and or der prevailed. Tho territory over which tho armed power of Carranza and Vilht and their asso. lates extended was the thoafrr of tho most appalling; crimes. Hands of robbers roved tho country wltU unbridled license. Amer icans and Mexic ans alike were at their mercy, and American men were mur dered aiul American women were ont-rat-ed with Impunity. Thousands were redifed to poverty by the wanton 2v islrui-tioa of the Industries through v. ll!.'!i they lived. Vet the jroverumeiit of the Fnlted Stales Ignored, eon diand, the murJer of Aitmrlean men end the rape of American womcu and destruction of American property and j Insult t Anterieati oltlcers and delile- w.c.it of tho American (hi:-; and joined itself, to the men who were guilty of ;:11 t!:ef thlasa to pull down tho pow er of Fuertn. Wiiy? The president hiuiKetf lias told i. It wits liasauso he ndJiK'f.ed Iluerta to bo a usmver. l-ceause he deemed that tho enmmen iieople 01 Mc'iico ctis'.lit to have great ir purli irialion in pivernment and sliaro la the laud, and ho believed that Carranza tuid Villa would give them these thinss. Wo miu;t all sympathize with these sentiments, but there la tiol'.iiii noro danjerons than mls placed Miiliinent. When oar army landed at Vera Cms Carranza himself, who was to be the chief beucllciary of the act, publicly protested against it So stroiy was tho resentment that lie could not have kept his followers otherwise. When Ilueria had fallen the new government which for tho day had succeeded to his place peremptorily demanded the witlidrawal of the American troops. I Tho universal peiiUnient Ai 'XicallS I required I ha peremptory demand, and the troops were withdrawn. Still worse than that, tho taking of Vera Crua destroyed confidence in tlio ain- eriiy of the Amerleaa povernmeut in Mexico, because every intelligent man in Mexico believed that tho avowed reason for the act was not tlie real reason. The avowed pui'iwse was to compel a salute to tho American flag. Vhree hundred Mexicans were report ed killed; seventeen Tinted states ma rines were l:illed and many wero wounded. At th;:t very time Mr. Rry e.n. with the president's approval, was sii'tilug Ireatlei with half the world agreeing mat 11 any controversy siiouin arise it should bo submitted to a joint commission and no action should bo taken until after a full year had elaps ed. This ecntroverfiy, s!i;;ht as it was, arose, on the Oth of April, and ca the 21st of tho same month Vera Cms was taken. With the occupation of Vera Cruz the moral power of the ml ted States in Mexico ended. We were then and we are now hated for what v.e oi.l to Mexico, and we were then and v.e are now despised for our foeMe aud Irresolute failure to protect ll I tho llvi a und ii::.iil of our elllzeiis. ?.'o j fiatf 1:4 111 d!;;liMioi-ed liml no lll:i,a!:;p t'i 111:10 v.orili Hie cliilmlii;,' in Mexico lis 0111.
