Impatient over the failure of the Mexican government to respect the legal rights of American property owners, the Washington Government s never been able to make that a ramount issue. Now that the der principle of international law protection of human life—has been violated in a region supposedly under the control of the Mexican adminis- tration, there is much more of an in- sistence that satisfaction be given. For vears when conditions in Mexico were unsettled the Wilson ad- ministration was bitterly attacked in the press and in the two houses of Congress for failing to secure protec tion for the lives of Americans.
