and had given full faith and credit to
the acts of the Mexican congress, the
undoubted fact of exaggerations, some
of them Official in source of inspira-
ton, could not have afforded pretext
for the foreign pressure now brought
to bear upon his administration in an
effort to force it into taking steps
which would still further ALLEVIATE the
mass of Latin Americans.
In all probability Ambassador VIII
son, now in Washington, will not be
able to tell the president and the sec
rotary of state anything more, touch
ing conditions in Mexico, than he has
repeatedly communicated to them of
ficially. Everything indicates that
they have refused to act upon the adj
vices he has given them. 1t is posi-
BILE that he may be now able to con-
vince them that the overthrow of the
Huerta government, by faction with
out a custom house or government
far from restoring peace, only raise
new complications, and postpone the
holdings of presidential election, set
for October. Some such demonstra-
ton seems to be needed to convince
them that the policy of wisdom for
he United States in Mexico is to avoid |
to itself a position which |
will involve it's own responsibility to |
oreigners for the administration of
he Mexican government While 1t
,annot be conceded that the failure to
ecognize Huerta commits us to any
uch responsibility as is claimed, it
las been plain from the start that
efusal to respect Mexican constitu-
ional forms, and the authority of Mex
can law in the internal affairs of that
ountry, would lead to some such
as are now arising.

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE IN
MEXICO.

MEXICO.
How far our unfortunate policy in
Mexico since the legal Inauguration
Of Huerta as provisional president is
to affect our prestige in all of Latin
America is an interesting question
in the case. There has been, in our
refusal to recognize the authority of
: the Mexican constitution, and the
Mexican congress, a suggestion of
suzerainty, or overlordship, and some
thing of cant which will not sit well
on proud stomachs. This feeling
might have been forseen, and all pro-
vocation to it avoided. The pretense
that the assassination OF Madero and
Source raised a moral question trans
cending all others, was not only out
of line with our established policy but |
is effectually put out of consideration |
by the action of other enlightened gov
ernments in according recognition to |
visional president under the forms of |
Mexican law. We have not only iso-
lated ourselves but, in doing so, we
seem to have asserted superiority
to Mexicans, and their institutions,
which they can hardly be expected to
relish. Such an attitude may be equal
ly resented by other Latin-American
peoples.
The president. it is reported, seeks
to justify this strange course of con-
duct with the plea that there has been
so much of exaggeration in reports of I
Mexican affairs that he has not cared
o act on insufficient or misleading in
ormation. If he had adhered to the
traditional policy of the United States,
