The history of nations in their diplomatic rela- tions to each other give many in- stances to prove just the contrary. Recoonition depends altozether upon | the title and character of the par- ticular de facto government in ques- ! tion, and it is exclusively within the discretion of other governments as to whether they shall recognize it. To maintain otherwise—in our case, for instance —is to deny the sover- eignty of the United States and its control over its own policies. Huerta's title is founded in cold- blooded, cruel ascassination of his predecessor, with ITluerta’s own re- volting treachery to his lawful chief standing out as one of the most| prominent factors in the case. To recoznize such a title as that would be to condone and approve the crime. Why is it “weak” for our govern- ment to advise the withdrawal of Americans from Mexico and to pay for the cost of such withdrawal? | There is only a handful, compara- | tively speakine, of our countrymen in Mexico, and it would be a mon- strous crime for the administration to precinitate the horrors of war upon both countries for the benefit | of those few after they | bhad disrecavded warning con- ‘ Vs, | rof(\rrln:l and Hu-,: | | | requires ‘mericans ample States government.
