With his usual precision, the Pres- te ident went directly to the heart of the matter and pointed out the evil which must be cured if we are to live in peace and perfect understanding with our South American neighbors. They cannot be blamed for ed us with a certain amount of skeptic- ism. They did not ask us to be their “big brother”, and they were justified in their feelings of apprehension that we might kill them with kindness. At the same time enemy agents were al- ways at work to kindle flres of sus- picion in the minde of our neighbors as to our intentions and extensive war preparations. It is particularly happy that the visit of the Mexican editors occurs at this time when Ger- man infiuence is so strong in their native land. When these gentlemen return home they will tell their peo- ple of the earnest desire on the part of the Unlted States to live in accord with that having obse with Mexico and te join country and other American republies in forming an alliance which will be so strong that no outside force will ever dare violate the of any member of it. The principal point our dealings with Mexicans is to gain their trust. President Wilson under- stands this fully, for the concluding sentence in his address to the editors was as follows Peace can only come by trust. If you can once get a situation of trust then you have got a situa- tion of permanent peace. There- fore every one of us, it seems to me, owe it as a patriotic duty to his own country to plant the seeds of trust and confidence in- stead of seeds of suspicion.
