what War Would Mean.

Englishmen well know what wars of conquest and wars of pacification mean in the outlay of life and money, for they have participated in them in India, in the Soudan and in the Transvaal, and it is therefore of some interest to have the opinion of an intelligent British citizen, well acquainted with conditions in this'cpuntry, on the results of a war between the United States and Mexico.

Norman Angell, an English writer and editor of prominence, now in New York, says one of its first eftects would be on the financial situation. It would ef>t up capital in this country, he declares, and would Put an enormous strain upon farmers who want capital au d are now paying a high interest, for it. In Mexico, he points out, there is a population of between 15,0Q0,000 and 16,000,000, fitted for warfare of . the bandetti, guerrilla type—the men accustomed to the use of the rifle, good horsemen, used to very simple and hard conditions of life, and able to support themselves oh little. The United States can, of course, conquer Mexico, but it will be a long and hard task. If England had to employ against the Boers an army numbering two or three times the entire population of the Transvaal, ‘‘what sort of an army,” he asks, ‘‘are you going to need to conquer a Population many time the 100,000 Boers who fought against England, and to whom guerrilla warfare is meat and drink.”

If the subduing of Mexico is undertaken, he thinks United States progress will not stop there, but that conditions will force it to go on its conquering way down to the canal, but it will not be a conquest of a brief time. The conquest of ( Ireland, he says, has been going on

at intervals for three centuries, and now the English people have decided that the best thing to do is to unconquer it. The price the United States will pay in case of war with Mexico will be to put, for at least a generation or two, its own social problems in the background. The "welfare of the American people, the government of them, the problem of their cities, the education of their children, will be relegated, ’ he says, “to obscure paragraphs on the inside pages of newspapers and will be attended to only as secondary problems by thofje who have their hands full in looking after the problems arising in the new dependencies to the south.” All this, of course, is based on the supposition that serious intervention will be undertaken. That is not the purpose of the administration, but it is well to consider just what it will mean, as the influences develop that tend to force the adoption of such policy.—lndianapolis Star.
