FAVORS MEXICAN POLICY
Powers Feel Problem is One For

EUROPE WILL NOT INTERFERE
Statement of Ambassador Anglers
President Wilson-Lind i'm Touch
With Mexican Minister.

With Mexican Minister.
Washington, Aug. 13.-The Uni
ted States government has informal
ly sounded the powers and learned
that foreign governments generally
will do nothing to embarrass the
peace policy of President Wilson to-
ward Mexico and are inclined to sup
port it.
Henry Lane Wilson, whose resi-
gnation as ambassador to Mexico re-
Gently was accepted to take effect
October IA, issued statement to-day
attacking the reported statement of
the British foreign Office that recog-
milton Of the Huerta government
and been extended after he had
made "a congratulaory speech" to
the Provisional President.
President Wilson read the ambassa
doris statement and so incens-
ed at its tone and contents that he
promptly requested Secretary Bryan
to ascertain through the British en-
bassy here wether the utterance of
the British foreign office as reported
was correct and tonight the dis
missal of Ambassador Wilson by
summary acceptance of his resigna-
tion to take effect Immediately was
under consideration by the Admin
stration.
LIND IN TOUCH WIT GAMBOA.
These were the developments of
the day here in the Mexican situation
while dispatches from John Lind,
personal representative in Mexico OF
President Wilson, indicated that he
was in personal touch with FREDERICK
Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign
affairs and was preparing to sub
NIT the Representatives of the United
States on the restoration of peace in
Mexico.
Chief interest centerd tonight in
the Administrations attitude toward
Ambassador Wilson's remaks con-
cerning the British Government and
the information that Europen Govern
ments were disposed to lend their
moral support to Presidents Wilson
policy.
It was learned that many of the
foreign Governments feel the Mexican
problem to be peculiarly within the
province of American diplomacy,
and though they may take no affir-
native action, they will not interfere
with the peace programe for a con-
stitutionally establishment Gover1-
ment through which President Wilson
ly can best be conserved.
A FAVORABLE ATTITUDE.
The American Government has
learned some of these things only by
indirection, but within the last two
days the development In Japan and
Great Britian-two nations which

suspending judgement, has been TAX
en- as concrete evidence of favorable
attitude by foreign Governments to
Presidtn Wilson's peace policy. Jap
ans declination 10 receive Gen Felix
Diza, special envoy, sent by President
Huerta, was officially confirmed here
to-day.
Tomorrow Secretary Bryan and
President Wilson will discuss the re-
ported statement of the British forei-
gn office, which said that Great Brita
in recognized the Huerta Government
,nly Professionally pending an cleo
ton, and pointed out that Great Bri-
tain, France and Germany had-accor-
ded recognition after "a congratula-
tory speech" to President Huerta by
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
dean OF the diplomatic corps in Mexi-
co City
The official Interpretation of the
British statement-which is credited
by administration officials, though
they will inquire into it's autheticity
has been that Great Britain has ex-
pected the United States also to reco-
gnize the Huerta Government because
Ambassador Wilson had made the
speech.
HENRY LANE WILSON'S VIEWS.
Ambassador Wilson's views are
known at the British foreign office to
be at variance with those of the Wash
ington Administration, but President
Wilson is said to be disposed to not
permit any attacks on the British
Government from an official OF the
United States which Ambassador ,
Wilson would continue to be until
October IA.
Administration officials took par
ticular exception to the ambassadors
remark: eff this statement really
emanated from the British foreign
office, IL is at variance with its tradi-
ttons and with the character is has
maintained before the world for two
centuries"
1t was pointed out that should the
British Governments statement prove
authentic, which Is believed here to
be the case, the American Govern
ment would be in the embarrassing
position OF maintaining an official
who had criticised friendly nation.
Disapproval also was voiced in Ad-
minfstration circles OF the ambassa-
doris reference to the recognition of
the Huerta administration by Euro
pean governments "after waitino
