MEXICAN PROBLEM LOOMS
AGAIN
Having denied Europe the right to
interfere with our Monroe doctrine and
Europe, as represented by our allies,
having agreed not to insist on the
abrogation of “regional understand
ings,” what are we to do about
Mexico.
Mexico has repudiated the Monroe
doctrine and it not amenable to the
league of nations, which he recently
refused to join. True, the revised
version of the league covenant gives
the league the last word on the Mon
roe doctrine and it may be that Europe
will yet step in to regulate anarchistic
Mexico if we do not.
Europe was none too well satisfied
with Wilson’s policy of “watchful
waiting” in the days before the Euro
pean war. Germany, it will be re
membered, tried to arrange a Euro
pan combine which should undertake
to restore law and order in Mexico in
defiance of the Monroe doctrine.
Conditions have continued to grow
worse under Carranza's rule and the
chances are that an acute crisis will
be reached as soon as peace has been
formally proclaimed in Europe. Mexi
ico owes millions to our friends and
allies in Europe and they have numer
ous claims for damages to property
and for subjects slain. As a matter
of course these claims will be pressed
sooner or later and the United States,
because of its adherence to the Mon
roe doctrine, will be involved.
The Mexican government is less
able to meet its obligations than it
was when the President adopted a
policy of “watchful waiting.” Villa or
his alter ago recently seized Parral,
murdering the mayor and his two
sons. A Red Cross report at Wash
ington tells of 200,000 bandits and
thieves let loose “rotten with disease
and divorced from all ideas of ever
working again.’ ’The streets in Mexico
City are declared by competent ob
servers to be unsafe for pedestrians
• after 8 o’clock in the evening. A con
servative estimate has it that 10,000
have starved in Mexico in the last
four years. The total equals the
number of deaths in the French revo
lution from the fall of the Bastile to
the beheading of Robespierre.
Mexico is a queer combination of
militarism and Bolshevism. Before
Russia fell into the clutch of L>enine
and Trotzky the Mexican people were
suffering from a regime as red as any
which has cursed Russia in the last
two years. The disorganization and
disintegration has followed much the
same course. In both countries the
destruction of industries has prevent
ed hundreds of thousands from earn
ing a living. In Russia the poor have
joined Lenine’s guard and have preyed
upon the rest of the people. In Mexico
the poor, unable to work for wages be
cause no work was to be had, joined
the Vlllistas or other bodies of
bandits.
In both countries cunning leaders
live by plunder and graft. The mili
tarists who keep Carranza in power
vie with one another to make Mexico
City howl with their orgies.
Mexico’s credit is destroyed; not a
cent can be borrowed in foreign lands
to pave the way for reconstruction;
Carranza has not kept his pledges to
protect lives and property; aliens are
being robbed and slain as in the worst
days of anarchy before the European
-conflict.
The American government must be
prepared once again to face the Mexi
can problem. The American people
must once again inform themselves as
to conditions beyond the Rio Grande,
must be ready to face a crisis as acute
as any that has yet arisen and must
reach a decision which shall be final.
Tour school tax is now due and
should be paid without delay if you
want to escape the penalty of a fine.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Aeroplanes make trip to Azores In
fourteen hours. When Father Duncan
came to America it took him from
December 23, 1856, to June 27, 1857 to
cover the distance between Liverpool;
England and Victoria, B. C. How
times change?—-Ketchikan Times.
June will be a goon construction
time. If the commission is handicap
ped then by a shortage of funds, it
will reflect seriously in the total work
for the entire year. Until congress acts
on this measure, there will be some
doubt as to the attitude which the
Republicans are going to assume to
ward the railroad in the future. If
there is any serious difficulty in get
ting this emergency apropriation
through, it can be charged to Wlck
ersham’s abuse of the project under
Mr. Lane’s direction. If he has been
taken seriously by members of his
party, it will not be surprising if the
house votes to refuse further appro
priations until after an investigation
can be made. And in the meantime
Alaska will be tbe sole sufferer.—Fair
banks Citizen.
The Seward Gateway very humhly
admits that its credulty has been im
posed on by that one-man organization
—the Alaska association—and in a re
cent issue cancels a contract for read
ing matter of a destructive nature pre
pared for Its columns to be paid for
at regular advertising rates. The sole
purpose of the so-called “Alaska asso
ciation,” is to tear down what others
are seeking to build up. Any fool can
criticise. It takes real ability to
create.—Anchorage Times.
