The Nome daily nugget., 1913-11-17

II is a question that must occur {,
 every man. or woman, who take
 time from the daily occupations l.
 think of the big world and the bil
 world policies outside. It may not b,
 of any vital importance to us UT
 here In Alaska, and yet. as whatever does happen there has now become O,
 importance to our country we canno, let 1t pass without a thought
 Certainly President Wilson has done aii that could be expected of any man to keep this country out of tho horrors of q war. His last purposal is to cut off the money supply. This is last resort. If it does not accom-. |. riish it's object there is but one al t"rnative
 Let us hope that peaceful solu ti"n Is possible. Certainly 1t is much to be desired but from the drift,nr
 of the straws 1t does not seem as nea,
 as 1t did before the presidents an. | n"unc"mcnt of his new policy of finan-
 cial blockade
 one of the signs which points al.
 r"ctly 10 a failure of the new diplo.
 macy Is the action taken today by the
 English ambassador to Mexico. Of | course this gentleman was actine upon instructions from his home gov ernment, and the British foreign office
 is the best informed and most com petent foreign office in the world on all diplomatic subjects. England more |. over takes better care of her sub- jects in all parts of the world than does any other country.
 Up to the present time the English subjects having interests in Mexico have remained on their property or fin their counting houses All through the series of revolutionary moya- ments the British ambassador and the British government have let their people take the chances that ane consequent to a state of revolution in any country. They have relied upon the United States to carry ont Its part of the contract implied in the Monroe doctrine and protect the lives and property of foreigners.
 There is now a new doctrine, and 1t is earnestly to be hoped that it will be a success. England has an- nounced that she will not interfere with the presidents efforts to make this new doctrine a success. That is what was to be expected of England for she is our best friend and she has whipped the other powers into line and made them all promise to let us alone and to give Mir. Wilson's new policy chance. But what does En- gland think of this new scheme? Eu- dently not very much
 She is willing to keep out yet a lit- tie longer and to use her influence Tn Keeping the other powers out of Mexico and she has. through her an. announced to Huerta that She approves of the policy of the United States. Maybe she does ap- prove. Probably she wishes that 1t will work and end the warfare which | has cost her subjects SO much. But 1oes she believe it will work.
 Here is the answer in a news dis. batch. The British ambassador has, through the consuls. orderd all Brit sh subjects to loose no time in Ieav- ng Mexico. Whatever, their interests will be their finapcial loss, hey are to at once mako for the near. st port and if they cannot get aawy n merchant ships English men of war VIII be sent to carry them away from iexico. This means a good deal. It means that every man. woman and hild in Mexico who own allegiance to he British crown. who look to Ens.
