whose resignation as ambassador to
Mexico has been accepted to take effect
at the end of his vacation, Oct IA, having
been brought to the Presidents attention,
he directs me to ask you to call at the
British foreign office and say to Sir Ed
ward Grey that he disclaims all respon-
sibiity for Mr.. Wilson'S action in the
matter and for the language employed
by him in his interview, and that he re-
grets exceedingly that diplomatic Off
cial in the employ of this government
should have been guilty of such an i'm
propriety.'
Secretary Bryan not only gave the
above to the press. but issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"a copy of the cablegram to the
American embassy was sent to Mr.. Will
son.

does not go farther at this time. because
he takes it for granted that l.e action
which he is Obliged to take in this mat

a sufficient reminder of his official du-
ties
In this connection, it was admitted that

, Immediately, but 1t was said by officials
who characterized tonight's action as a
sufficient reprimand that only in the
event of any other utterance or action
distasteful to the administration by the
ambassador should such course be fol-
, lowed
Administration officials felt particular
solicitude about the possible effect OF
Ambassador Wilson's remarks in Great
Britain because at this time the Ameri-
can government is relying on the moral
support of the European Powers in the
effert to suggest peaceful ending to
! the Mexican revolution.
I Informal assurances have been receiv-
ed by President Wilson that foreign
governments are disposed to look with
favor on the peace policy being pursued
by the United States, and in turn the
Washington administration intends to
keep the governments fully advised OF
the steps taken by John Lind. personal
