Socialist Party and Mexico 'WITH DRAW U.S.A. TROOPS FROM MEXICO'S ItORDKK.'"

The Socialist Party of United States of America has issued a spirited manifesto dealing with the mobilisation of troop.* -on the Mexican border. An excerpt : '•The throne of Diaz was tottcrmg, freedom beckoned tli-e people of Mexico after a generation of servitude. Then the President of the United States dispatched a large force ot trooT)3 to the Mexican border. The mission -of trie American army at the Mexican border and the American warships at the Mexican coasts. is to save the of Oir.x and to quell the rising of tlte Mexican people. Against our-rage i he Socialist party of th-t- United States, repre&eiitmg over six hundred thousand American citizens a:id voters, lodges its public and emphatic protest. In the liam-s- of America's revolutionary past and her b.r,t traditions or the Dres3nt, we protest against the attempt to degrade our country by reducing it to the position of a Cossack or a ioreign tyrant. In the name of liberty and progrer,:? we Tuotest against the use of th-e army of our remibl:c to smnpres-s and enslave the peor,k>. of a .sister republic fighting for the \r freedom and manhood. In the name of the workers ; of the United States we protest agr.inst the viae of the men and money of this country for the protection of the so-called American interests in Mexico. "We assert -that neither the government nor the people of the United States have any property interests in Mexco; that the speculative Mexican ventures of a ring of American industrial freebooters gives us no warrant to interfere with "the political destinies of the country which they have invaded upon their individual responsibility."
