ton which have been inevitable TO
foreign enterprise"
AS thus epitomized by the presi-
dent. that is the real policy OF the
present administration. Ever since
he took the oath OF office the presi-
dent has been bending his efforts to
promote spirit Of accord in Latin
America. The big brotherly attitude
was first made evident in the Mica.
raguan loan negotiations. Little vex-
ing questions with Brazil were clear
ed. Columbia and Panama are being
brought nearer.
But Mexico remains Obdurate.
The president has opposed armed
Intervention. He has. and is, taking
every possible step to avoid II. Only
the active interference OF some Euro
pean power or series OF Outrages
against Americans or foreigners will
force his hand.
But he realizes the situation il tense.
and diplomats here believe, II is be-
cause OF such realization that he has
openly asserted that there will never
again be war OF conquest by this
country il he can prevent 1t. The dec
laration makes plain to the world
where the United States stands. II
il is compelled to use its army and
navy to restore peace In Mexico-and
the belief seems growing here that
this will be the final solution-there
can be no interference by any of the
so-called world powers. Intervention
in Mexico will follow the lines ad-
hered TO when Intervention took place
in Characterization OF order for
Mexican people themselves. And the
money powers Of France. OF Germany.
and Of England. with their billions OF
dollars invested. cannot force objec-
ton which will be upheld by the mass
OF the people OF these nations.
Having exhausted every possible
means of bringing the warning fac
tons in Mexico together, and having
openly proclaimed that under no cir
cumstances will this government seize
any Mexican territory, 1t is admitted
that President Wilson Is today in such
position that il he must use force
he will have the support Of all parties
in the senate and the house. He has
insisted time and again that any prob
lem which involved the peace and vel
fare Of the people was not a partisan
one. He has told the members OF the
senate and house committees dealing
with foreign affairs that patriotism
must rise superior to partisanship and
as a result has had their unanimous
support in his recent dealings with
Huerta.
The president and Secretary OF
State Bryan will confer here tomor-
row, after the formers return from
Mobile. II Ia possible that following
this conference some future definite
declaration of policy will be an.
nounced so far as Mexico is con.
oerned.
Advices received here today indi.
cate that an attempt may yet be made
to declare FREDERICK Gamboa presi.
dent-elect. and Gen. Banquet. vice.
president OF Mexico. Gamboa had
the passive support of Huerta. He IL
reported to have polled fair sized
vote and run second to Huerta who
was the almost unanimous choice OF
the army voters.
Should Huerta adhere to his posi-
ton and insist that the ballots cast
for him be null and void, there exists
bare possibility that Gamboa will
| have majority over the remaining
candidates. Then Ii -weuli-be-
sible for the incoming congress
which will be absolutely dominated
by Huerta, to declare Gamboa elect
ed. The Blanqeut votes are not neces
sarily void. Under the constitution
he had the right to be candidate for
vice-president. Thus. II Huerta sc
decides, congress could declare Gam
boa and Banquet legally elected
president and vice-president of Mex
leo.
Reason for the fear that some such
action may be contemplated arises
from the declaration of Manual Gar
"a Aldape, minister Of the interior
that a majority Of the registered vote
need not be east In illegal election
"All that Is necessary" Aldape
holds, as that the returns come from
majority Of the electoral districts
and that the election was fair"
Should an attempt be made u
claim fair election" on Sunday, and
announce a result the situation. so faI
az this government Is concerned
would be a decidedly new compiled
