flee denies that the British government
suggested the action taken by Washing
ton, but the officials speak in such diplo-
matte terms that their statements are NOT
necessarily convincing.
There is little doubt expressed by the
public and the newspapers that the polit-
ical situation in Mexico caused President
Taft's strong move, but it is questioned
whether this government had any share
in the matter.
So far as any extension of the power OF
the United States on the American con-
tinent is concerned, it is doubtful that
such an outcome would be popular with
the British public Just at this time The
talk of the future annexation of Canada
has created Il prejudice on this side ana
this prejudice is just as strong against
the political expansion of the United
states generally at the present time.
Dealings in American securities today
indicated that the Stock Exchange did
not consider that the general security OF
the country was seriously threatened
Mexican bonds remained unchanged, as
did southern Railway shares and second
preferred Il. These have always been OF
a speculative character. Mexican Nation

points recently, fell Off today.
