Chicago UNION to the Mexican government at the present time. I don’t think it prob- able that the Mexican government will make any overtures along these lines; it would want any such suggestion to come from this country, and the offi- cials who approve such a plan realize that it would meet with no small de- gree of opposition among the ‘Gringn hater’ class in Mexico, but they feel convinced that this opposition would die out after a short time and that such an agreement would be of in- calculable value both to Mexicn and the United States—to Mexico as an insurance against the fate of Belgium, to the United States as a strategical move in the direction of preparedness against future foes. “Mexico also feels, of course, that such a treaty would prove the foun- dation for a genuine and lasting friendship between the *wo govern- ments and would after a short time wipe out forever the inborn feeling of Qistrust that so many Mexicans, par- icularly of the lower classes, feel to- ward the United States, and that has been the underlying cause of so much of the friction hatween the two coun- tries during recent years. “There are several very serious questions that arise when such an al- liance is considered. One is: Might not these very fortifications which it is suggested that the United States help to build be used against the United States in the event of a war between the United States and Mexi- co? Another is: Might not such an alliance drag the United States into an unwelcome war with some foreign power as a result of some future ac- tion on Mexico’s part? Thinking that these questions would be . asked in America should an alliance be con- sidered, I asked the Mexican officials about these things when the subject was broached in Mexico City. ‘In the first place,’ they said, ‘such an alliance would minimize, would almost end, the possibility of war be- tween the United States and Mexico. Secondly, stipulations might be made that Mexico should not fortify the border between the United States and Mexico—this would merely be proof of the good faith of Mexico in entering [ woulq minimize this danger. the agreement. The logical points of ingress into Mexico for American ar- mies are border points. The port for- tifications would in no way make Mexico impregnable to America.’ That was the answer given to the first ques- tion. The reply to the second was: ‘““‘As for the possibility of America being dragged into a foreign war on account of Mexico—that is a more serious question. Tt is so serious that it would justify precautionary stipula- tions in the agreement, on the part of the American government. The Mexi- can government would understand the necessity for such precautionary stip- ulations and would assent to them— that is the attitude of the present Mexican government. There is another aspect of this phase of the situation, however, based on conditions already existant, and conditions in the making of which Mexico has no part. Your Monroe Doctrine creates this other aspect. Without any alliance of the sort suggested at present, your Mon- roe Doctrine caused you to bring pres- sure to bear on the French which en- abled us to end the iron regime of Maximilian. “*In short, there is already as great danger of the TUnited States being dragged into war with another coun- try through Mexico as there would be after such an alliance became effect- ive—though, needless to say, it s our hope that it will never be nec- essary to fight such a war, for the bur- den of it would fall as much on the Mexican republic as on the United States. Tt would be only fafr for Mexico to grant stipulations that Another question was asked of the correspondent who was being inter- viewed instead of doing the interview- ing. American military strategists often have pointed to the military im- portance to the. United States of Low- er California, because a whole army fleet and any number of army f{rans- ports could easily find shelter i the Gulf of California between this strip of land and the Mexican mainland The- correspondent said that this question had not heen brought up in Mexico City and that he could only venture conjecture on it. He did not think that the Mexican governmen would cede Lower California under any conditions, or sell it to the United States, partly because the rank and file of the Mexican people could not be brought to agree to any such step. But he thought it not improbable that in such an alliance as suggested Mex- ico might consent to turn over the fortification of lower California entire- ly to the United States provided Lower California remained still a part of ._\onir‘n ang {ts civil government re- mained entirely in Mexican hands. The much-discussed ‘““Mexican pride” would make the granting of further | powers in Lower California impossi- ble, in that further powere there would infringe on Mexican soverelgnty, said. The principal ports in Mexico would have to be fortified, the corre- spondent said, would be Vera Cruz, the terminus of the railroad to Mexico City, Puerto Mexico, terminus of the Tehuantepec railroad which crosses Mexico to the Pacific coast; Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus of the Te- huantepec railroad; Tampico, terminus of the rallroad leading directly to American border points, and Mazat- lan, terminus of the line into Sonora, the Mexican state just south of the Arizona border. There are about 25,000 Japanese who had colonized in Mexico up to the present time, the correspondent said, and in the Mexican army there wer Japanese officers, including one major, four captains, and minor officers in larger numbers. These officers, how- ever, he said, were not in close touch with the higher Mexican officials, and associated principally with the lower classes. The colonists were not ab- sorbed into the nation in Mexico any more than they were in this country, and were feared as a nation within a nation, while there were not a few far-sighted Mexicans who suspected that the growing number of Japanese colonists might some day prove the most serious sort of a menace to Mex- ican sovereignty. The “yellow peril,” he said, was as much of a nightmare to the Mexican as to any other people on earth, but coupled with the fear was the neces- that New York City TRUST COMPANY Pittsburgh sity just at the present time of a¥ ing carefully any Indication of trust. “| DON'T SUFFE ~ ANY MOR | “Feel Like a New Pe says Mrs. Hamilton, | New Castle, Ind.—‘‘From the i I was eleven years old until I was teen I suffered month so I had & in bed.
