exported. The forests also contain
many valuable dye woods. gums and
medicinal plants. Rubber is also
grown there.

the Huerta government by designating
new ambassador. The result of this
firm stand on the part or Ambassador
Wilson is said to have been the formal
statement issued by Secretary OF State
Bryan Saturday denying that the de-
partment was or had been investigating
charges against the Ambassador.
Ambassador Wilson has passed through
most trying experience in Mexico, and
the better class of Americans resident in
Mexico City are almost Unanimous in
praising his conduct during the five-day
slaughter In the city streets last winter.
His efforts during the Taft administra-
ton were almost nullihed by the uncer-
Tain attitude of the administration.
Mr.. Wilson's difficult situation during
the existence OF the Huerta government
has been made further unpleasant by
the. ease and frequency with which his
enemies managed to have misleading
accounts OF his conduct printed in Amer
lean newspapers, including reports,
hitherto undenied, that the State De-
partment was investigating his conduct
President Clears situation.
President Wilson yesterday took occa-
sion to make IL clear that his administra-
ton has every faith in the diplomatic
integrity and ability of its representative
In Mexico City, and Is DESTROYS OF lend
Eg him every possible assistance in
meeting a delicate situation and main
tanning and rehabilitating the sadly
shrunken prestige OF the United States
with the Mexican people.
Appropos of the Mexican situation and
the efforts of the government-inspired
populace in Mexico to force the adj
to recognize the Huerta
government against President Wilson's
better Judgment, the latter's statement
in regard to the wool and sugar sched-
ues of the Underwood tariff bill may
be recalled The President was at par
ticular pains last Thursday TO deny, I'M
asked, reports that he was seeking or
of accepting a compromise on
the wool and sugar items in the tariff
bill. now under attack in the Senate
II am not the kind that considers
compromises when / have once taken
my position" he said, and authorized
the newspaper men to quote him to that
extent.
In the face OF this statement, il seems
unlikely that the President will permit
himself to be forced into a recognition
Of the Huerta government before he
thinks such recognition justifiable under
the custom of this country in our treat
ment of other governments
