AMERICA'S FOREIGN POLICY
CHARGE OF WEAKNESS. DEBATE IN THE SENATE. • Proas Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, July 23. (Received Jnly 23, at 11.40 p.m.) The Senate debated the question as to the need for exercising a stronger policy with a view to the protection of American citizens residing abroad, particularly in Mexico. Senator Fald urged that a sterner national policy would have prevented the present anarchy in Mexico. Senator Lodge attacked Mr Bryan because he had followed Mr Taft's laissez faire policy. Senator Beacon asserted that Mr Taft had constantly used diplomatic means to protect American interests in Mexico, but lie had sought to avoid being drawn into war. The question would later be discussed by the Foreign Relations Committee, but he believed that President Wilson was steadily averse to intervention, the constantly growing gravity of the Mexican situation.
