If Germany stay out, then she can't complain.

England and the United States would have only to announce their intention: there'd be no need to fire a gun.

Besides settling the Mexican trouble, we'd gain much--having had England by our side in a praise-worthy enterprise.

That, and the President's visit[36] would give the world notice to whom it belongs, and cause it to be quiet and to go about its proper business of peaceful industry.
Moreover, it would show all the Central and South American States that we don't want any of their territory, that we will not let anybody else have any, but that they, too, must keep orderly government or the great Nations of the earth, will, at our bidding, forcibly demand quiet in their borders.

I believe a new era of security would come in all Spanish America.
