the press, and more particularly the
divergent views Of the United States
and England as to the best policy to
restore peace and order in Mexico. 1t
is still held in official circles that the
differences between the two countries
are not such as could possibly lead to
any trouble and that they will smooth
themselves out when all the facts are
known.
The greatest regret exists here that
any signs of ill-feeling between the
two countries should have been dis
played. It is pointed out by officials
that England, like other powers recog-
nized Huerta because he was believed
to be the best man to handle the criti-
cal situation and she still holds that
opinion. Should. however. President

a more practical solution Of the diffi-
Guilty, it will be sympathetically con-
sidered by England.
After all, it is argued, the divergence
of views between the United States
and England is a matter not Of aims
but Of methods.
While 1t is possible that Sir Will
lam Tyrrell. the private secretary Of
Sir Edward Gray, might assist the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington during
his stay here, it was said that his
American visit was arranged long be-
fore the crisis arose. He was q close
friend Of Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice
and on receipt Of news Of Sir Cecirs
continued ill-health, advanced the date
of his promised visit to him.
The press generally agrees with the
government officials that the differ
ences Of views are not serious. It de-
cIares that all England desires is the
restoration Of order in Mexico.
The Westminster Gazette, the gov
ernment organ, says that while Eng
land has great interests in Mexico she
can not take the same responsibilities
in regard to that county as the United
States does, altho the fact Of her not
doing so constitutes no hostility to the
United States. .,i so@
Little Faith in Huerta.
The Pail Mall Gazette, an opposition
newspaper says:
"Provisionsal President Huerta's
declarations to the diplomatic delega-
ton is full Of superficial common sense
but in spite Of the ordinance by which
he withdraws his candidacy for the
presidency and, despite the promise Of
the Mexicon government not to inter-
fere with the elections. Huerta will re-
main dictator when the poll has been
declared"
The newspaper points out that the
recognition of the Mexican govern
ment does not constitute support Of it.
It continues:
III England was supporting a man
which the United States does not rec
ognize the relations between the two
countries would be badly strained
The Pail Mall Gazette concludes that
England can have no completely with
any league Of European nations to
thwart the policy Of the United States
on the American continent.
The Standard says:
"England's only attitude in regard to
Mexico is one Of strict neutrality. Even
the Monroe doctrine itself can not
compel England to refrain from recog-
nizing man whom an independent
nation has entrusted with the govern
ment.'
Peace EnsIand's Only Desire.
The Globe editorially says:
England has no desire or intention
Of picking a quarrel over the question
Of Mexico. She recognized that con-
ditions in Mexico particularly con-
cerned the United States and so long
as her own commercial interests and
the rights Of her nation are respected
she is not greatly concerned in the
matter. Maybe Great Britain recog-
nized Provisional President Huerta for
reasons not particularly obvious but
this country does not share the allusion
apparently cherished by the United
States that Mexico has reached the
stage of constitutional government ac-
cording to our ideas. Therefore Eng.
land is content to recognize any form
Of government which promises peace.
Responsibility Of United States.
Under the Monroe doctrine the
United States has become responsible
in the last resort not only for the
maintainance Of her own interests but
those of other countries as well. It Is
a difficult mission but one Of its own
seeking.
1T is inadvisable to take them snap-
pishly when they commence to feel the
pinch of tho burden they have as
sumed."
The Globe thinks the United States
should accept Huerta's assurances that
he will not become dictator.
