ENGLISH ATTITUDE
TOWARDS MEXICO
Recognition to Huerta Extended
for Special Reason and for
Limited Time.

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch. ]
London. October 26.-The Daily Tele-
graph prints the following evidently
authoritative statement regarding the
English attitude In Mexico from n cor
respondents
Great Britain has done no more than
t. extend recognition to the Central
: merican dictator for special reasons
and for a limited period The special
reasons arc the very large interests of
England In the development OF Mexico.
Tho limited period came to an end to
day.
1T cannot he too strongly insisted
that any refusal of General Huerta to
respect his public undertaking not to
accept tho presidency or any violence
that may be shown to any Of the sew
cral political prisoners will create n
new situation, to which ecognition OF
Mexico by Great Britain may or may
not apply, At the sole discretion of the
latter.
The slate has been diplomaticailv
cleaned. 1t IL noticeable character
istic OF this countrys political attitude
thnt bold or even a bloody dash for
supreme authority by Il competent man
is regarded here with even more com
placeny than n subsequent failure 10
observe the laws of humanity or Inter
national contracts
Great Britain. as always, reserves
to herself the right to reconsider her
recognition.
"a much more serious matter is IN
volved in the attempt In certain Amer
lcan quarters to attach To us tho
odiuin OF acting In antaEonism TO the
interests or the United States.
with the highest sanction can
assure your readers nothing in sir
Lionel Gardens interview bore upon
the strained relations between Mexico
ana the United States: that through
out this difficulty the most pleasant
relations have existed between the
british Foreign Office and the Amer
lean ambassador. who has been fully
taken into Sir Edward Grey's conf
dence. and that whatever action may
seem necessary after the Mexican cleo
tons the same frank, friendly CORES
pondcncc will continue"
The Times in an editorial says:
III the Americans have practical
plan for realizing the immediate bene-
fits which we and they agree Mexico
requires. wa shall DO ready to give 1t
our best md most friendly considera-
ton. To speak frankly VIZ do not be-
lievo even roughly President Wilson'S
ideals. We shall he delighted to find
we arc mistaken. There has, we repeat,
been no friction between London and
Washington on the question hitherto.
We earnestly hope there will be none
in the future"
