Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Mexico Since 1910: With the Compliments of the Author In a general way, American relations with Mexico have followed much the same chronological divisions. The whole period has as its absorbing feature our sincere, though often dubiously managed, effort to assist Mexico to obtain a stable, honorable, and effective government, first to the end that American lives and property may be secure south of the Rio Grande, and second, that our neighbor may for her own sake become peaceable and prosperous, so that we may mutually enjoy the reasonable intercourse which should be the portion of civilized nations. During the entire period, then, there has been but the one question of policy on the part of the American people and government. Numerous incidents have, however, served to punctuate that policy in ways which have pre vented the desired success. The most significant episode of the period, so far as diplomatic tradition goes, entrain ing as it does events of deepest import in our relations with Mexico, Was the refusal to accord recognition to General Huerta and the persistent and successful effort to procure his downfall. Upon the grounds of morality this refusal was eminently justifiable. Huerta's coup was effected by a small part of the armed forces, which did not represent the majority opinion in the Republic; his betrayal of Madero was treacherous in the extreme; his hands were stained with the blood of useless victims of street fighting; he was certain to benefit by, if he was not cognizant of, the proposed murder of Madero and Pino Suarez; there was little ground upon which to commend the professed patriotism of his followers, or to suggest that President Wilson was not within the bounds of propriety in prevent ing the success of his Revolution.

Excerpt from Early Diplomatic Relations Between the United States and Mexico The diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico before 1830 have heretofore been passed over rapidly by students in this field of history in order to dwell more fully on the events leading to the Texas Revolution, the admission of Texas into the Union, and the war between the United States and Mexico. Partial explanations have been made of the attempts of the Adams administration in 1827 and the Jackson administration in 1829 to acquire peaceably by purchase the whole or a part of Texas. Hostility to Poinsett because of his relations with Mexican offi cials and his connection with the organization of lodges of York Masons has been frequently mentioned, to be bitterly condemned by many, enthusiastically praised by others, and mildly excused by a few, but adequately explained by none.

Excerpt from The Two Republics: International Relations United States and Mexico, Delivered at Los Angeles, California, August 12, 1915 Never country existed incapable of self-government! Mexico has existed a thousand years, without American rule; and a thousand years hence Mexico would continue to exist, without American rule. Paraphrasing Lincoln's great speech at Peoria, Illinois, in 1854: When the American governs himself that, I acknowledge, is self government; when the American governs himself and the Mexican besides, that I call despotism.

Excerpt from Review of the Relations Between the United States and Mexico, and of the Claims of Citizens of the United States Against Mexico In presenting the following papers to the public in their present shape, it seemed proper to accompany them with a brief exposition of the circumstances in which they originated, and of the reasons to which they owe their existence. They have already appeared in the columns of a newspaper - the first series in the Richmond Enquirer, and the residue in the Union. The parties at whose instance they were prepared, have judged it expedient to republish them; while others have concurred in this design, under the impression that they embodied, in a condensed form, much valuable information upon topics of general importance. The present aspect of the relations between the United States and Mexico is full of interest. Whether or not there will be a formal declaration of war, seems yet to be a matter of uncertainty; but whether that event should or should not occur, the affairs of the two governments have reached a point, and assumed a character, which imperatively demand that the subjects of controversy, which have so long existed, should be brought to a definite settlement. The causes of complaint have been of long standing, and of an irritating nature. The amicable feelings which once bound the two nations together, have been obliterated. Mutual estrangement has succeeded, and terms of recrimination have been exchanged, rousing on either side the angry passions of the respective parties. It is not possible much longer to postpone the adjustment of these controveries. They must be terminated through the instrumentality of war, or by amicable arrangement. The number and character of the reclamations of the parties seem to preclude the possibility of a pacific settlement. The claims of citizens of the United States, for remuneration for alleged infractions of their rights of person and property, cannot be estimated at a smaller amount than ten millions of dollars. The character of the outrages in which these claims originated has imposed upon the government the imperative obligation to demand, and, if necessary, to enforce, their liquidation. Every day swells the amount of compensation to which the parties are entitled, and increases the incapacity of Mexico to provide for their payment. They must either be adjusted and paid, or tamely relinquished. The latter alternative, involving a renunciation of every national duty, and the violation of the most positive national pledges, cannot, for a moment be anticipated.

Excerpt from Mexico, and the United States: Their Mutual Relations and Common Interests It is impossible to understand the real characters, or the real merits of the conflict in Mexico, without considering certain great historic facts and events, which, though remote in their origin, have been potent causes of the great final results. The germs of the difficulty were planted as long ago as the conquest - indeed, their origin dates back a thousand years. During the last three hundred and fifty years, the development of the original evils, in the governmental policy of Mexico, has made that land almost a Golgotha among the nations.
