Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Race Development, Vol. 7: 1916-1917 It is to be regretted that at the time the Mexican raiders were pursued your government went to the extent of bring ing into Mexico an army of men with artillery, aero planes, etc., but left the mischief makers on this side of the border, those American owners of Mexican property or their agents to continue their operations with impunity. If mighty and weaker nations were accorded the same rights in this world, Mexico could have found as much right to send an expedition into the United States to pre vent those American owners or their agents from doing mischief, as the United States thinks it had to send one into Mexico to prevent the raids. The United States army now assembled in Mexico might have been more effectively employed in the suppression of the raids by a convenient distribution of its forces along the border, in order to protect every region of it from the invasion of the raiders, and would have had moreover the advantage of preventing raids from being organized on this side Of the boundary, as it is suspected was the case in some Of them - the Glenn Springs raid for instance. I am referring now to American suspicion, - American suspicions of Americans, as well as of Mexicans. Very well, we Mexicans are also suspicious of you. Indeed mutual suspicion is one of the causes of this threatened war. The gathering of such a force at one point and that point within the boundaries of Mexico is looked upon by the Mexicans and by many Americans as the first step towards actual intervention or war, for these two names mean the same thing.
