Washington, August I3.-The United
States government has informally
sounded the powers and learned that
foreign governments generally will do
nothing 10 embarrass the peace policy
Of President Wilson toward Mexico,
and are inclined TO support il.
This was one OF the developments of
the day here in the Mexican situation,
while dispatches from John Lind. per-
sonal representative in Mexico OF Pres
ident Wilson, indicated that he was In
personal touch with FREDERICK Gamboa,
Mexican Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
and was preparing TO submit the repre-
sensations of the United States on tho
restoration Of peace in Mexico.
Chief interest centred tonight in the
/ administrators attitude toward Am
bassador Wilson'S remarks concerning
the British government and the infor-
nation that European governments
we're disposed TO lend their moral sup
port to President Wilson's policy.
VIII Not Interfere.
II was learned that many OF the for
cign governments feel the Mexican
problem TO he peculiarly within the
province OF American diplomacy. and
though they may take no affirmative
action. they Will not interfere with the
peace program for constirutionally-
established government through which
President Wilson believes all foreign
interests ultimately can best be con
served.
