UNPATRl0TIC CONDUCT

Mexico CITY, July l5.-Moved by
public accounts of alleged unpatriot-
ic conduct at recent independence
day breakfast attended by President
de La Barra, several mem hers Of his
cabinet and many leading Mexicans
ana Americans. Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson today authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
Telegrams appeared on July and
in many American papers, reporting
that at the breakfast which followed
the Fourth Of July exercises. the Am
relcan ambassador. Mr.. Wilson. failed
TO respond with the customary recog-
hition when the American national air
was played and that he rose to his
leet after everyone else had done so.
This story Is entirely without foun-
datlon; no such incident occurred. and
no conversation on the subject took
place, and the first news to the Mexi-
can public that there was charge
Of such indecorous conduct came with
the arrival of the American papers
containing the telegram.
When the national air was played
the ambassador was the first to his
feet In company with the president.
These articles which have been sent
to the American press from Mexico
are purely malicious inventions and in
no way reflect the opinions and sentl>
ments of the American people In
Mexico.
THE ambassador makes this state
ment not because he believes the pub
lie is interested In his affairs but as
the only means in his power of cor
recting unjust and untruthful attacks
calculated to affect the usefulness of
the American embassy In this capital"
The teiegrams referred to by the
ambassador related what purported
to be conversation between himself
and President de La Barra in which
Mr.. Wilson was quoted as saying that
inasmuch as they were eating he saw
no need for them to rise. In eonse-
quence, it was said 9 movement had
been started by the American colony
to bring about the ambassadors re-
call.
The Mexican Herald commenting
on the story said that "a hundred
gentlemen who attended the break
fast, know that no such thing hap
pened."
