ROOSEVELT AGAIN
PRESIDENT'S FOREIGN POLICY
Declares He Supported Mr. Wilson as Long as He Could With
out Being False to the Honor of the U. S.
New York, April 26. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt writes on "The
Policy of Ufift And Dan&er" in the
June Metropolitan! He quotes from
his book, "America and the World
War," published January 15, 1915, In
which he declared that any adminis
tration facing a difficult and critical
situation is entitled lo a free hand un
til it has time to develop the action
which it considers appropriate."
The colonel says he followed this
course as regards Mexico and the
great war. He says he supported the
President as long as there was the
remotest chance that in standing by
him as President"! was also standing
by the honor and interest of the coun
try." Then, in October, 1915, after
consulting the Belgian commissioners
to this country, Colonel Roosevelt de
clares that he became convinced that
to support the President longer was to
b» "false to the honor and interest of
the United States."
Colonel Roosevelt continues
"From that moment. 18 months ago,
I spoke out with all the emphasis there
was In me, both as regards the Great
War and as regards Mexico. I com
mitted no error In speaking out, no

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 28, 1916,
I calling attention to the President's
dreadful failure to do his duty to and
jbyt he .American people. If I commit
ted any error at all, it was because of
the effort in good faith to support the
President regarding Mexico and re
garding Belgium longer than he was
entitled to support—nor do 1 regret'
I such error, for I was determined to
err, if at all, by standing by him too
long, rather than by not standing by
• him as long as there was the remotest
chance that his policy was grounded
on right and was in the public interest. I
: "The most flagrant of our national
derelictions from duty during the last |
three years have been In their order:
"First. Our failure in preparedness.;
| "Second. Our failure to protect the j
lives and property of our own citizens ■
on the high seas, in foreign countries
I and within our own limits. .. I
"Third. Our failure to do our duty!
in Mexico.
"Fourth. Our failure to do our duty
In Belgium.

though three years have elapsed since
Mr. Wilson became President; al
though 20 months have elapsed since
ithe cataclsym of the World War show
ed the infinite folly and wickedness of l
not making ready and being ready to
protect ourselves—not one thing has
yet been done.
The President, after all this time, j
I still intrusts the war and navy depart
ments to amiable gentlemen who know
nothing whatever of either the army
jor navy, who take no interest what
ever in their real efficiency; and neith
er he nor they have given the slight
est sign that t'he.v appreciate the ter
rible gravity of the international sit
uation, which, thanks largely to our I
! own supineness, has been permitted to
develop with such ominous rapidityl
| during the last two years.
\o Stronger Than Before War
We are no stronger by a gun or a
man that we were at the outbreak of
the great war. Relatively, to the rest!
of the world, our navy has gone rapid- :
ly and steadily back during these last
j three years, and our army likewise.'
I 1 n Congress the welfare of (he army

probably, of all Ibe men in both 1
Houses, the most intelligent, jealous
i and persistent opponent of the offi
ciency of the army,, and obstructor of
jail schemes for adequate national de
fense. The President has cordially!

into Congress, if enacted into law, will

"When there is urgent and Imme

t fault of President Wilson and his sup
porters in Congress, and it is a pun
ishment. upon us, the American people,
for what these representatives of the
American people have done, and have
left undone, during the last three
years.
Failures to I>o Duty in Mexico
"As regards Mexico and the Presi
dent's derelictions of duty there—they
have been so numerous and involved
that the only difficulty is to choose
which incidents to mention.
"On August 27, 1913, he announced
to Congress that he would forbid the
exportation of arms and munitions of
war -of any kind from the United
States to any-part of Mexico.
"On February 2, 1914, he announced
that the embargo was to be lifted be
cause 'conditions have essentially
changed.' The result was that huge
arms and ammunition crossed the bor
der to all contending factions—who
have 111 used them to kill our own peo
ple and their own innocent fellow
countrymen.
"On April 23 he ordered the em
bargo on arms restored.
"On May 15 lie again lifted the em
bargo so far as it applied to shipments
to Tamplco. '
"On May 27 the cargo of arms which
was not allowed lo be landed at Vera
Cruz, and which was the immediate
excuse for seizing Vera Cruz, was al
lowed to be landed, together with an
other cargo, at Puerto Mexico.
"On June 2 and June 4, 1914, car
goes of arms and ammunition were
landed at Tampico for Carranza.
"On September 9, 1914, the War De
partment lifted the embargo.
"On October 6, 1914, 10,000 Ameri
can-made rifles, under the lifted em
bargo, crossed the border to Villa—
they have since been used with effect
against our own people.
"On January 27, 1915, 15 carloads
of arms and ammunition reached San
Diego from the United States for the
various factions.
"On October 20, 1915, an embargo
was declared on arms for all the fac
tions except Carranza.
"On December 2, 1913, in a message
to Congress, the President said' he
would not alter our policy of watchful
waiting. On April 20, 1914, lie said
thai Ihe question of the flag salute
•need have none of the grave complica
tion of interference." The next day
he ordered the landing at Vera Cruz,
and a three days' battle ensued, in
which 15 Americans were killed and
58 wounded—l2fi Mexicans were killed
and 195 wounded. If President Wil
son did not call this Interference, it
would be interesting to know what
he did call it. Yet on April 23, Just
as this battle closed, he announced
that lie had 'not abandoned his watch
ful waiting policy.'
"He sent an army of 10,000 men to
Vera Cruz to obtain a salute for the
flag and to prevent the shipment or
arms to Mexico; he did not prevent
the shipment of arms to Mexico; he
did not get the salute to the flag; he
ordered a battle lo be fought in which
some 400 men were killed and wound
ed, and on November 23, 1914, he eva
cuated Vera Cruz, but he took away
$1,000,000 of the customs dues collect
ed during the occupation. He had lost
honor: he had spilled blood; he had
been defeated in his purpose; but he
had collected some dollars.
Twite Brought I'. S. to War
"President Wilson has never inter
fered in order to secure order and jus
tice in Mexico or to protect the lives
and property of Americans—against
all wrongdoers. He boasts that he has
'kept us out of war with Mexico.' As
a matter of fact, he has twice brought
us into war in Mexico, and each time
It has been a war waged in the inter
ests of certain chiefs of bandetti
against some other chief, to whom at
the moment Mr. Wilson objected. He

terest!! of Villa and Carranza. lie per
mitted the furnishing to Villa of the
arms which Villa has used against us.
A year ago, through General Scott, he
concluded what was in effect a treaty
of peace and friendship with this same
General Villa. He did not defend our
own people against Villa."
In conclusion Colonel Roosevelt
says:
"Now, in the interests of General
Carranza, lie has sent a force into
Mexico to co-operate wilh the Car
ranzista bandits, many of whom have
taken part in the raids against us,
asainst their momentary rivals under
Villa, who may be their allies o i to
morrow against us.:'
WILSON INVITES
WAR BY TIMIDITY
ROOSEVELT SAYS
Indecision and Unpreparedness
Cause Loss of American
Lives
New York, April 2S. Theodore
Roosevelt urged the doctrine of pre
paredness upon a large number of
Methodists gathered last night at the
annual banquet of the Methodist Social
Union of New York and referred to
I Hie latest phases of the relations with
! ?. ny anc ' Mexico as showing that
timidity and weakness invite war in
stead of averting it." He declared he
abhorred a wanton and unjust war
and continued:
"1 have a right to speak to you for
peace. I was President seven and a
half years. This nation during all that
time never for one moment permitted
anj power to wrong this country or to
I wrong Americans either in their person
or property or to make us recreant to
our duty to others; and yet, during
i hose seven and a half years not one
; *hot was fired by any man in American
uniform against any foreign foe and
| I1 ®? one American man, lonian or
I child was slain by representatives of
any foreign nation.
America's Place in the Sun
! Play greatest part on
behalf ol peace that any nation has
ever yet played. AVe can take our per
' manent place as a great nation only if
; we realize that we are a separate na
tion, akin to but distinct from all the
I people of EUrope, and if we loyally and
with proud endurance of the labor of
preparation and effort do duty to our
selves and to others.
' This means that our lives must not
primarily be devoted to the greedy
achievement of purely material well
being; it means that with toil, and
forethought and self-sacrifice, we must
prepare this nation in things indus
i trial, things social, and things military,
in the body, in the mind, and above
all in the so.ul, so that in the mighty
days it may stand equal to the mighty
days.
"We are at the moment engaged In
a little war in Mexico, a futile little
war which may at any time burst, out
i into a general blaze, which cannot pos
i sibly result in any real settlement of
the situation. We are so engaged be
j cause our nation failed to do its duty
from the outset in Mexican matters,
i failed repeatedly and continuously.
Nearly a hundred Americans, some of
t hem women and children, some of
! them soldiers of the United States,
were killed or wounded on American
soil by Mexicans on different occasions
before the raid at Columbus took place.
l"K'k of Decision Cost I jives
"If, the very first time such an inci
dent occurred, we had acted with in
! slant decision and crossed the border
I not within two or three davs. but
! thirty minutes afterward, had inflicted
immediate punishment on the offend
ers, there would never have been a
repetition of the offense. Certain
foolish pacificists at home would un
doubtedly have been lackadaisical over
the action, but it would have saved
hundreds of lives.
"After years of these experiences in
Mexico and repeated killings of our
people in our own territory along the
border, our preparedness is such that
this mighty nation has not been able to
grapple efficiently with the situation
created by the raid of a bandit, chief
who had been beaten by his fellow
bandit chiefs when they quarreled
j among themselves. In any event prepa-
I ration could not possibly have pro
duced more trouble than has been
produced in Mexico by the policy this
I nation has actually pursued.
"So It is as regards Germany. Four-
I teen months have gone "'by since as a
nntlon we informed Germany that we
would l»ol<l her to a 'strict account
ability' if she did what she said she
would do as regards submarine war
fare. Germany did not believe that
we meant what we said and for four
teen mouths our actions showed that
we did not mean what we said and
strict accountability turned into four
teen months of conversation on our
part.
Still Xo Preparedness
"When w"e made that declaration we
should have understood exactly what
it meant and the obligation it, im
, pesed upon us. It was a declaration
so serious that, mere severance of
: diplomatic relations would have hardly
j made it good, and of course it could
I only be justified by immediate anil
thorough-going preparedness on our
part. Yet for fourteen months after
making that declaration and with out
rage after outrage committed against
us. we have not prepared in any shape
or way to make good our word.
"And now we find that the lack of
preparedness, the lack of decision and
fortitude on our part have resulted,
not as our pacifist friends insisted, in
increasing the likelihood of peace, but
in bringing us to the verge of the
gravest possible crista.
"If we get peace now, it will be
proof that Arm decision fourteen
months ago would have saved the lives
of many thousands of noncombatants,
including many hundreds of women
and children who have perished on the
high seas because our actions rightly
made other nations believe that we did
not mean what we said."
