If you are one of those who doubt the wisdom of our going into the war ‘on the side of the entente allies ask yourself this question: Do we want Germany as a neighbor on our southern border? It seems to us that consideration of this question will resolve all doubt that for preservation of the republic and its democratic institutions; for the welfare of those who come after us—the defeat of Germany is absolutely nec- essary. And to insure that defeat we must help. : It is useless to deny that Germany today has more than a foothold in Mexico. : The evidence accumulates daily. There is authentic information that Mexican politics and Mexican finance are now controlled by German interests. German money is building a wireless station near Mexico City for direct communication between Mexico and Berlin. Consular reports indicate that hundred ing from the United States to Mexico in recent weeks. Why? The clinching evidence was the Zimmerman note. One government does not write such a note to another government unless between them there is already a cordial understanding; unless the groundwork for a friendly re- ception has already been laid. To all intents and purposes Germany is already our neighbor on the south—a neighbor who has made written declaration of his malign plans and purposes. Today he can but shake his fist across the back fence; he is f in his own front yard. But tomorrow? Suppose Germany wins the war. is of Germans have been flock- airly busy What considerations of morality will give pause to the ambitions of Germany triumphant? = What restraints of conscience will govern the military autocracy that thinks of treaties as | = “scraps of paper’; whose ideals are wanton destruction and ruthless killing? “Germany over all!” Germany over Europe, Asia and America! What's | to stop her if she wins? He is a trustful soul who, in view of what has hap- " pened in Europe during the past two and one-half years, can persuade himself that a victorious Germany would voluntarily give up the foothold, financial and political, she now has in Mexico. Germany is in Mexico to stay—if Ger- | many wins or is not ruined in the present war; to use Mexico for coloniza- "tion while permitting Mexico to keep the forms of an independent republic _ with Germany pulling the strings. Let us ask ourselves this question: 4 “1S IT WELL FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY TO HAVE BEL- : Si NEIGHBOR AS OUR NEIGHBOR ON THE SOUTHERN FRON- ‘ Lad The answer is obvious. We know the German government now for a ruthless, conscienceless tary autocracy which recognizes neither the laws of God nor man in its ealings with other nations. We do not want such a system planted on the American continent as it will be if “Deutschland ueber alles” triumphs. It is our sacred duty as trustees of democracy for our children to see to that it shall not triumph; to make the defeat of the German autocracy cer- tain by participation in the war on the side of the three great democracies, France, England and Russia—DEMOCRATIC RUSSIA! / If we value our future peace and security we cannot do otherwise.
