BANK SYSTEM'S INCREASED EFFICIENCY
Under the Federal Reserve System in 1916, the banking power
of the United States, through increased resources and deposits, and
likewise through greater elasticity and availability, has an efficiency
for the country's development over 40 per cent higher than it had in
1912, with an absolute guaranty against panics.
The only criticism offered is that the margin of profit to. the
banker is smaller than under the old system. In other words the
bank has to render more service to the country to earn its dividend.
Will the Chicago platform 'set up this as an issue in the 1916 elec-
ti0T1 There are undoubtedly some ten million voters in this country,
Republicans, Progressives, Independents and Democrats, who be
lieve heart and soul in the constructive reforms agitated during the
past decade and carried, to a large extent, into effect by President
Wilson through the agency of the Democratic party. This was possi
ble because the Democratic party was the only political agency not
dominated bv the selfish special interests opposed to these reforms.
And tinder Woodrow Wilson the Democratic party has been kept
free of special-interest control and today remains the only available
political agency for the continuation of this good work.
PRESIDENT WILSON IN MEXICO
President Wilson ha never wanted war. In the days when his
opponents attacked him and tried to goad him into the use of armed
forces of the United States, he remained Rtedfast to his determination
that the blood of young American soldiers should never be shed ex
cept as the last recourse in the effort to uphold the honor of the na-
Once, when even graver eventualities were threatened, the pa
tience of President Wilson's statesmanship was rewarded by diplo
matic victory that made the shedding of blood unnecessary. It was
the President's previous moderation that gave such force to the omi
nous ultimatum which brought full concession to the rights of
America and humanity.
No President in the history of the United States has ever placed
the cause of the people of the United States upon a higher plane. No
President has ever struggled morer valiantly to preserve peace with
honor. His critics have proved the case for Wilson. Their unanimous
approval of his present course has not dulled the edge of his desire
for honorable peace.
The immobility of the President in the face of selfish and parti
san criticism, coming from those who thought more of personal ad
vantage than of the welfare of the nation, has been the best security
of the American people throughout the time the world has been dark
ened by war-clouds.
If" the sword of righteousness must now be unsheathed, the
American people know that it is because peaceful means have been
exhausted. If the swodr is raised to strike, it is because the head of
the tie facto government of Mexico refuses to respect the rights of
America.
No President has ever tried so hard to interpret the real spirit
of America. Mr. Wilsno has said that he would rather know what
the men and women, gathered around their own fireside, are saying
than to listen to the orations of the self-appointed.
In his handling of the Mexican problem, President Wilson has
been guided by the single impulse to do what the American people
would have him do to exhaust all the peaceful means at his disposal
to protect the lives and property of Americans, and, failing in that,
to uphold the honor and dignity of the nation by the use of its armed
forces.
The note written by the State Department to Ueneral Carranza in
response to his threat to attack the American troops presented the
complete case of the American government against Mexico. As in
the European situation, when the ultiuxatum with its ominous note
brought full concessions, it marked the end of President Wilson's patience.
The lives of the American sol.Uers in Mexico who were sent
there to protect the border from tho raids of bandits, bent on mur
dering Americans, had been threat ned.
In the might of righteousness, the sword of America was then
raised to strike, and in the struggle that threatens, the nation enters
upon its task with a clean and fearless heart.
Behind the President, who h is so truly represented the charita
ble spirit of the American people, behind the President now in his
grim determination to use the full military and naval strength of the
nation in support of the American troops in Mexico, stand the mighty
host of patriotic Americans, united, valiant and conscious of the
faithfulness of their leader to ;b.e ideals of real Americanism.
TIME FOR'ACTION
As everybody knows wUo reads this paper, Th Herald is for
peace, but not for "peace at any price." While the turmoil of the
last few years has been going on in Mexico, wc have hoped that the
most intelligent people of that unfortunate country would be able to
establish a stable government. without the intervention of the United
States.
Hut well informed citizen.-, of Mexico arc so hopelessly in the mi
nority that there st ems now no Sope of them gaining the ascendency
over the ignorant and vicious t hments of that country. When the
United States and other countries, recognized Carranza as the first
chief of the constitutional government, it was hoped that he would
with the advantage that such recognition gave him, soon bring order
out of chaos; but all hitch hopes ha.-e been turned into disappoint
ment. The events of the last few weeks show that he is a man of insuf
ficient grasj) either that he does not h:ve proper comprehension of
the relations that should exist between thi United States and Mexico,
or else that he has not sufficient control of the men under him to
bring them into line for a course that would at once maintain the
honor of both countries and conserve tin- interest of good government
in his own country.
Wo believe tnat President Wilson lias pursued a proper course
in trying by all honorable means to prevent a break, which would
mean practically intervention; but it seems now that nothing further
can be done in this direction, unless there is an immediate and radical
change in the attitude of Carranza and his advisers? which does not
seem probable.
Tt is time for decisive action. What tin United Staes has dom
in the Philippines, bringing them out of a condition of ignorance and
incompetent government to a plane of intelligence ami unprecedented
prosperity, she can do for poor, bleeding, misgoverned and ungov
erned Mexico. The time is ripe. Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing thoroughly. However, much of the people of this coun
try may differ on the question of "preparedness" in general, of ap
propriating large sums of money to prepare for speculative wars with
foreign countries, they will as one man stand bv the president and
congress iu taking the necessary steps and making whatever appro
priations may be necessary to straighten out the tangle to the south
of us.
