United states.


WASHINGTON. Aug 1.-THE probability
that President Wilson will have the SYM
pathy and moral support Of the Powers
for the policy he has evolved for settling
the Mexican problem was emphasized to-
day by two developments
One was the reported intimatlon By the
Japanese Government TO the Mexican dip
lomatic representative at Toxic that tive
MikadO will not receive Gen Felix Daz
whom President IIuerta has sent as a
special envoy to extend the thanks Of
Mexico for Japanese participation in the
Mexican centennial celebration The other
development that Is regarded as significant
Office emphasizing the fact that Great
Britain in recognizing the IIuerta Gov
ernment made II clear that 1t REGARDED
Ifuerta as provisional President who
was expected 70 rule only until consti-
tutional election was held.
These two developments bear out the
statement already made in TIL. SIN ua,
President Wilson has reason to feel con-
fidsnt OF the sympathy II not the active
cooperation Of the Powers in his attempt
at bringing peace to Mexico
The abatement of tn. British Govern.

The nritish Statement.
This was the British abatement:
THE recognition Of President Hu.rt,
was the recosnition Of a provisional
President pending An election. II was
done ON the advice of tn. British Minister
70 Nexico "a be,nx likely 10 assist in the

reception BY him Of the whole diplomatic
party at which a congratulatory speech
was made. In their behalf BY the American
Amba ssador."
A copy of the British statement has
not been trausmitted to the State de-
pa rtment by Amba ssator Page. and no
official comment could be obtained from
Secretary Bryan. II liz known. how
ever. that the Administration was agree
ably IMPRESSED by the action OF the
British Foreign once as indicating at
least a spirit OF frientliness toward the
mission on which john Lind has been
sent to Mexico city.
II 1. true. however. that the corre-
spondence between the State Department
and the British Foreign Office relating
TO the recognition OF Huerta already had
made clear the nature Of the recognition
which England was rendering the
Mexica ruler, and no extraordinary sig.
nificance was attached to the statement
In official circles az far as the Mexican
situation IN concerned. The Significance
consists in the fact that the British
Foreign once has seen fit to make a
public statement at this critical time.
