Washington. Aug. 26-Assurances
have come to the White House III an
unofficial. but a trustworthy way, that
central and South American repu5-
lies are backing President Wilson's
policy in Mexico. This practically
puts the wide world, automatically
speaking, against the IIuerta program.
Secretary Bryan and the president
conferred over the Mexican situation
Tor some time, but at it's conclusion
the secretary merely stated that con-
dltions had not materially changed.
Il lis thought, however, in some quar-
tiers, that Huerta will change tactics
within the next As hours.
Wilson to Read Message Tuesday.
Unless satisfactory oyertures are
made by the Huerta government be-
fore Tuesday President Wilson will
proclaim in person III a message TO
both houses Of congress the principle
that constitutional government alone
can be recognized in Mexico. He
also viii outline the suggestion Of the
United States for the elimination Of
liuerta and the establishment Of d
legally constituted administration in
the southern republic.
That the United States Is backed
by a worldwide sentiment in its peace
policy is conceded in diplomatic cir
cles here, Tangible evidences of the
attitude Of Frauce came today III the
news dispatches from Paris, stating it
was practically certain President
Poincare and Foreign Minister Pichon
would not receive Francisco de Ia
Barra, aqpo!ated minister to France,
by Provisional President Huerta. and
now enroute to his post.
Latin America Lined Up.
Assurances that Latin America
stands by President Wilson have been
informally received here. This had
been expected. however, as the inter
ests OF Central ana South American
countries where volatility OF govern
ment has prevailed throush military
dictatorship, are admittedly in lire
with tile attitude taken by the United
States in the present situation.
While President Wilson has com.
pleted his message, which will EN-
brace not only a summary of the pro
posals made by john Iind and rhe
reply of lie Huerta government. but
a statement Of the policy to he fol
lowed by the United States, admins
tration officials We're reticent to dis
cuss the course that would b. pur-
sued. They pointed significantly, how
ever, 10 the Latin American statement
issued by President Wilson during
the first fortnight Of his admin.stra.
ton and declared il would be the
basis OF what he would have To say
on Tuesday. In that statement The
president announced lie earnestly de-
sired the most cordial understanding
and cooperation between the peoples
and leaders Of America he said:
Views of the President.
Cooperation is possible only when
supported at every turn by the order
~ processes Of just government, based
upon law, not upon arbitrary or irreg.
ular force. We hold, | am sure, and
all thoughtful leaders Of republican
government everywhere hold, that just
government rests always upon the con
sent OF the governed and that there
can be no freedom without order has.
ed upon law and upon the public
conscience and approval. We shall
look TO make these principles the bas-
is Of mutual intercourse, respect and
heipfulnesS between our sister repub-
lies and ourselves. We shall lend our
influence of every kind to the reaiiza.
Q Of these principles, in fact and
practice, knowing that disorder, per.
sonal intrigue and defiance OF consti-
tutfonal rights weaken II discredit
government and injure none SO much
as the people who are unfortunate
enough to have their common life and
their Common affairs SO tainted and
disturbed.
I'VE can have no sympathy with
those who seek to seize the power OF
government to advance their own per
sonal interests or ambition. We are
the friends Of peace, but we know
that there can be no lasting or stable
peace in such circumstances. AS
iii1ias, iheisioi', We SHAH pre-
fer those who act in the interest of
peace and honor, who protect private
rights II respect the restraints OF
constitutional provisions. Mutual re-.
spect seems TO lis IN indispensable
foundation Of friendship between
states, as between Individuals
Money From Ratt!ers.
