care and Foreign Minister Pichon would
not receive Francisco de la Barra ap-
pointed minister to France by Pro
visional President Huerta and now
en- route to his post His status 1t was
pointed out in the advices from Paris
was similar TO that of General Felix
Diaz. special ambassador TO Japan from
the Huerta administration, who. IL was
announced in Tokyo, would not be well
coined.
Great Britain's statement recently
that the recognition OF Huerta had been
provisional pending an election, taken
together with expressions from France
and Japan. all Of whom have formally
recognized Huerta, are the only pub
lie manifestations of sympathy with
tho policy of the United States In op-
posing Huerta, but in the quiet realm
OF diplomacy, greater pressure is be-
Ing brought to bear upon the Huerta
regime TO yield TO the American sug-
gestions for peace.
Assurances that Latin America
stands by President Wilson have been
informally received here. This had been
expected. however, as the interests of
Central and South American countries,
where volatility or government has pre-
vailed through military dictatorships,
are admittedly In line with the atti-
tudc taken by the United States In the
present situation.
McssnGc Is Completed.
While President Wilson has COM
pleted his message, which will embrace
not only a summary OF the proposals
made by John Lind and the reply of
the Huerta government. but state
ment OF the policy to be followed by
the United States, administration OFF,
cials were reticcnt To discuss what
course would be pursued. They point
ed significantly, however, to the Latin
American statement issued by Presi-
dent Wilson during the first fortnight
of his administration and declared 1t
would be the basis Of what he would
have TO say on Tuesday. In that state
ment, the President announced he ear
nestly desired the most cordial un-
derstanding and cooperation between
tho peoples and leaders of America" and
said:
Incorporation is possible only when
supported at every turn by the orderly
processes OF just government based
upon law. not upon arbitrary ir-
regular force. We hold, / am sure
all thoughtful leaders of republican
government everywhere hold, that just
government rests always upon the
consent of the governed, and that there
can be no freedom without order based
upon law and upon the public con-
science and approval. We shall look
to make these principles the basis of
mutual intercourse. respect. and help
fulness between our sister republics
and ourselves. We shall lend our in
fiuence of every kind to the realization
of these principles in fact and prac-
tice, knowing that disorder, personal
intrigue and defiance of constitutional
right weaken and discredit government
and injure mono so much as the people
who are unfortunate enough to have
their common life and their common
affairs so tainted and disturbed We
can have no sympathy with those who
seek to seize the power Of govern
ment to advance their own personal
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 friends.
therefore. we shall prefer those who
act in the interest OF peace and honor,
who protect private rights and respect
the restraints of constitutional pro-
vision. Mutual respect seems to us
the Indispensable foundation of friend
vduals"
Only for General Welfare.
The President pointed out that the
United States had nothing to seek in
Latin-America but the Casting inter-
ests of the peoples" and "the security
of governments intended for the peo
pie and for no special group or inter-
ests." These are the principles on
which President Wilson has based his
attitude Of nonrecognition of the HUI
erta government, set up through the
overthrow by arms Of Francisco Ma
dero. the legally-elected ruler of the
country. 1t is to secure a return to
constitutional government that the ef-
forts of the President are dedicated
and the resignation of Huerta, there
FORE has been made the chief point
in the American proposals for a peace
ful settlement Of the dispute.
