Only Course Left Is "Wipe Em Up," Says Senator From Idaho By JAMES H. BRADY, ? United States Senator from Idaho. Washington, June 20. ? In the first place I believe we are now taking the action concerning Mexico we should have 1 ? . . taken months ago. If we had, we would have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars and many American lives. And we would have maintained respect for the American people. As it is, our property has been lost, American lives have been wasted, and the Mexicans have reached a point where they do not believe we will fight. Such a course must result, *in the end, in only one out come, that is, intervention, nothing else. Watchful waiting did it all. Speaking for myself alone, I now favor going into Mex ico aftd cleaning up the situation. I would have as many of our troops go there, and would have them stay as long a? is necessary to do that. Not only have the Mexicans mur dered American citizens, but thcry have fired upon and killed our soldiers. Such a situation long ago demanded that wo should act to maintain our national self-respeet. I believe that, if left to themselves, Pershing and Funs ton would bring Mexico to terms in short, order. The situation had grown so intolerable that wo had to do ' something. We might have saved what was done today in calling out. the National Guard had we handled the Mexi cans without gloves in the first place. But. now that we aro about to go down to the border with an ample force, T re peat, we should not make a half-way job of it. Wo should settle the Mexican situation for onre and for *11. That is the one way we can redeem ourselves in tae eyes of our citizens and in the eyes of the world. 80,000 Austrians Been Cornered I (By United Press) Petrograd, June 20. ?

A banker who cmvs for your mom y lock* it up in Lis great burglar proof safe at night. When the merchant poos hoinu, after ihe day's la!?or lie leaves his goods under lock and key and M* tii. bar*. The individual invariably takes measure* to protect his own. But not so with us as a nation. We have accumulate! vast stores of wealth, but have neglretcd to provide the nec essary means for the protection of that wealth. It is true that after months of indilTerenee Congress litis at la?t passed a preparedness measure hy providing for th" increase of the regular army ati<l the National (>unrd to a total approximate force of aUnii 700.000 men. Hut it will be several years before this force can b:- gathered t? ?prolli? r end armed and equipped and drilled and disciplined and put in shape to meet an enemy on equal terms. In the meantime we are just about where we were before tlic bill was passed ? without a lock to our dour. It is not likely now that we will have any trouble with European countries after the present war is over. We sin cerely hope not. i But we are not so sanguine as to the atiitude of Japan. Our present state of national helplessness has forced Con gress and the administratis n to Low k? the di-iuumU of Japan and eliminate fiutn an iimuigra'ioii bill cirtain >ci.'- ' tions which were designed to protect American laboring men from the cheap Japanese labor iliai has been tlooding this country. There was no help f??r it. J: was a case ??f bow or tight, and we are in no condition to fight. If Japan would be coin tit with her victory all might even yet bo fairly well. But it is dnubiful if she will In content. The Japanese an- .1 warlike people. determindlv bent upon securing equal rights "ii the American coiiininC. And right here enters the present element of danger to cur peace and security of the future. The Mexicans hate everything American. They are im bued with the mistaken id a that we are a people who will rot fight, and hence they coii.-ider us beneath their con tempt. It is reasonably well known that Mexican emissaries arr? sn Japan seeking the aid of the Japanese people in a wnr against the United States. Nothing would suit ;h ? Japan?vai* designs and purposes better than such an alliance. It woul-1 afford them the coveted epportunry and excuse for seizing the Philippines, which they greatly desire. A great army could be landed on our Pacific coast and we could nr.t pr - vent it. Another tremendous nrmv of Japanese could be landed in Mexico, and in cooperation with the Mexican* could invade ns across the border at a hundred different points simultaneously. Our present military strength is ridiculously small that we would Ins hopelessly outnumbered and outmatched at every point. Press dispatches show ev ry indication that the Mexicans are expecting just such an alliance with the Japanese, ami if the attack comes at. all it. will not be dolaved until wo nave had two or three years in which to collect and drill an prmy. It will come soon, while we are still in n hopeless condition. i ^ The American people are at. la^t awakening to a realization of the peril of our national helplessness, and Congress is taking belated steps toward defen?o for our homes and our great wealth. But are we. locking the floor to-> late? ill 0 tiie marauder gain entrance before the padlock can be mad"? A stick of dynamite is a child's toy con i pared with the Mexico-Japanese situation which confronts the American /eminent and people today.
