President Wilson and Secretary Bry
an Are Rigidly Opposed to
Any Intervention.
WILL APPLY AND EXHAUST
ALL FORMS OF DIPLOMACY
Intcrposition by European Powers
viii Be Violation of Mon
roe Doctrine.

President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, from the tenor OF Washing
ton dispatches. are rigidly set
AGAINST intervention in Mexico
they are willing to apply and eN-
haust all forms OF diplomacy. All
efforts at mediation they are Will
ing TO try, perhaps in cooperation
with other nations that would be
willing to intervene, but as an alb
stract individuhl American propo-
sition, neither the executive nor his
premier will ever consent to inter
yention by the United States i'll
Mexico unless the compulsion would
be stronger than policy and forced
by evident unavoidable necessity,
this unavoidable necessity arising
from statement from European ma
tions that in case the United States
fails to protect the citizens of their
respective countries in their lives
and property rights, they would,
contra " TO the Monroe Doctrine, in
teryene and endeayor to settle the
differences existing between the
many factions in the rebellon-rid-
den country.
That Intervention by European
Powers in Mexico would entail the
occupation of Mexico until claims
of these European nations would be
settled would be a violation of the
Monroe Doctrine and eventually
embrol the United States in col
lossal war with these nations there
is no doubt.
or the soundness of the Doctrine
there is no question.
President James c. Monroe in his
Seventh Annual Message to both
houses of Congress, December 2,
1928 announced principle that
the United States has never devat-
cd from and upon one occasion has
been compelled to sustain by re-
course to arms.
This Dostrine is embodied in nom
interference with the affairs of Euro
pcan Powers letting them settle
their differences as best they may,
hut at the same time establishing
the right of the countries of the
Western Hemisphere to adjust their
differences without the interference
of European Powers
President Monroe in his message
said
ut was stated at the commence
ment OF the last session that a great
effort was then making in Spain
and Portugal to improve the condi-
ton of the people of those coun-
tries, and that ii appeared to be
conducted with extraordinary mod
Grafton. 1t need scarcely be re-
marked that the result has been so
far very different from what was
then anticipated. OF events in that
quarter of the globe, with which
we have so much intercourse and
from which we derive our origin,
we have always been anxious and
interested spectators. The citizens
of the United States cherish senti-
ments the most friendly in favor of
the liberty and happiness of their
fellow-meu on that side of the At
lantic. IN THE WARS OF THE
EUROPEAN POWERS IN MAT
TIERS RELATING TO THEM
SELVES WE HAVE NEVER
TAKEN ANY PART. NOR DOES 1T
COMFORT WITH OUR POLICY SO
TO DO. It is only when our rights
are invaded or seriously menaced
that we resent injuries or make
preparations for our defense. With
the movements in this hemisphere
we are of necessity more immedi.
ately Asconnected, and by causes
which must be obvious to all en-.
lightened and impartial observers
The political system of the allied
powers is essentially different in
this respect from that of America
This difference proceeds from thai
which exists in their respective
governments: aHd=to the defense o,
our own, which has been achieved
by the loss of so much blood and
