NOME. ALASKA, OCTOBER 20, 1916.
While it is doubtless true that the
full cost of our meddling in tho af
fairs of Mexico cannot be adequately
measuerd in terms of dollar and cents,
something of the price we have, and
are, being compelled to pay for our
altogether unwarranted Interference, la
displayed in a recent official statement
tlmt it is costing us between fifteen
and twenty million dollars a month
to keep the troops on the border .
Further evidences of the extreme
costliness of our rampant folly Is Uls
elosed In the statement that tho ef
fort to “catch” the seemingly uncatch
able Pat.cho Villa has already resulted
in an expenditure of more than one
hundred million dollars. This, remem
ber, is only the actual cash paid out
by the government since the Colum
bus raid. To it must be added the
cost of the Vera Cruz fiasco, together
with an enormous sum in incidental
expenses, such as the cost of removing
hundreds of refugees to the United
States from the Mexican territory,
which alone has cost many hundred
thousand dollars.
From the day when President Wil
son first interjected himself Into the
affairs of Mexico until the present,
when we are paying out directly
more than a half million dollars dally,
we have been under a constant and
•■normous burden of expense that is
in no degree compensated by the re
sults attained.
In addition to the actual monetary
costs, hundreds of Americans litres
have been sacrificed for no purpose
whatever, each and every one of
-a hish may be included in the bill as
a portion of the price of our utter
recklessness in meddling with tho
business of others.
What the total bill amounts to can
not be guessed and will, doubtless,
be Kept well hidden in the archive* oi
the treasury department and so In
extricably mixed with extraneous ac
counts that not even the expert no
ce.'nt'.us would be able to segregate it
in less than a year or two—which
means, of course, that tho price we
have paid will never bo known to
the public.
With a back expense account run
ning into Heaven alone knows hjw
many millions, and with a daily ex
pense amounting to a half million at
tho present time ono cannot but won
der where we are going to get off
by the time the last cost Is paid.
And the worst of It Is that It might
all have been obviated hnd we display
ed a grain of the hard-headed sense
lor which the Yankee race has here
tofore been Justly famed.
If, instead of trying to set ourselves
up as the arbltor of Mexican affairs, we
had tended to our own business and
tllowod the Mexican to take car> of
theirs we would have been Just as far
olong in our relations with Hat*
ico as we are at present In addition
to saving many hundred million dol
lars, and, what is even more valua
ble, our pi'stiage. The whole chap
ter of our blunders commenoed with
l he unfortunate efTort of the adminis
tration to unseat the recalcitrant
I Huerta when he was not ordering
■ things according to our liking. Had
| we omitted that faulty blunder the
troubles of Aiexlco would doubtless have
been settled long ago and wo, oursel
ves, spared the shame of having to
pay an enormous price for something
that we have not yet attained, evon
after years of efTort. In accordance
•vith tbs adage, We have, been answered
after our itvn folly.
