Excerpt from Stead's Review of Reviews: August September, 1915

There is a strong feeling developing in the United States that there must be an all-american intervention in Mexico. By all-american is meant the United States, and all the Latin Republics, both Central and South American. That is hardly probable, but ere long intervention of some sort will be inevitable. Probably Brazil, Argen tina, Chili and the United States will take joint action. For some time there has not been revolution in Mexico, there has been anarchy. Bandits, with crime stained followings, have ravaged the land. The Mexican people themselves have been hardly represented at all in the so-called revolutions which have brought the country from order and prosperity to shame and poverty during the last four years. Latterly Mexico city itself has been occupied, first by one bandit, and then by another worse than the first. Each ejects the other to the compliment of pillage and slaughter. Property has been destroyed all over the distracted land. Even the railways have been torn up. Unfortunately, the Mexican people are temperamentally in capable of rising en masse, and string ing up these blood-thirsty bandits, who have caused all this misery in the name of the constitution, a document which has never been taken seriously, and. Which is of value only as a Shibboleth. At the moment, Villa appears to be again in the ascendant, but he could never retain the reins of government for long, nor could he ever sit in the Presi dential chair. He is a wonderful leader in the field, but his ruthlessness has made him an immense number of enemies, and he is said to have no idea. Whatever of administration. The sooner the present terrible state of things is ended the better, and it can only be cleared up from outs 10e.
