Washington, March 2. -- Former President Taft took a hand in the Mexican problem Friday. In a speech before the National Geographic so­ ciety he warned the administration against intervention. ( The cost in money and lives, he said, would be enormous and the resnlts of doubtful benefit "The situation is in such a condi­ tion," Mr. Taft said, "that it would be improper for me to comment on it, ex­ cept to say this: That those who lightly look forward to intervention are either utterly regardless of the loss of life and the expenditure of im­ mense treasure, or else they don't un­ derstand what armed intervention on. the part of this government in Mexico will mean. "Those of us who have had experi­ ence in the transquillzing of a tropical country with a people not very differ­ ent from the Mexicans, fwho take naturally to guerrilla warfare and would rather fight and run than work, know the difficulties that an army would have to meet to accomplish the only purpose that we would have in going In--the bringing about of law and order. "It would involve the garrisoning with a sufficient force of every town. It would involve the organization of columns to chase the guerrillas into their mountain fastnesses and across trackless desert plains and the subju­ gation of 15,000,000 of people. "I don't know when we would get through, I don't know how many lives it would involve, I * don't know how much it would cost, but'I do know It would be a drag upon us, and theib when we got the. thing done the future would still be a charge and a burden on our government and on our treasury." Professor Taft afterward was tha guest of President Wilson at luncheon at the White House. Mr. Taft's calls at the White House have been fro* quent since he left, March 4 last.
