The New York American O
Thursday under a Washington dat,
says:
President Wilson and Secretar,
Bryan. thoroughly aroused anc
alarmed by the demands of Great
{ Britain that the United States brina
about peace in Mexico. sent post.
haste to-day for Ambassador Wilson
from the City of Mexico.
The Administration now knows
that England is not asking irrele-
want questions about the nonrccog-
milton of Huerta, but that she is
asking the United States to act up
70 or abandon the Monroe Doctrine
as to Mexico. In other words. the
European nations, led and probably
egged on by Great Britain, demand
that the United States make peace
promptly in Mexico. or let other ma
lions cut the Gordian knot of Mexi-
can international politics and poll
cies.
The Administration realizes that
either this Government has not
been kept informed of the interna-
tional plot going on in Mexico City.
or that il has been misinformed by
some of it's important agents in Mex
leo City as to what was passing un-
der their very eyes.
II is declared that the official
scalp of Ambassador Wilson is
sought.
Notwithstanding the positive
statement that Ambassador Wilson
has been called here for consulta-
ton with the President. il is very
well understood that he is coming
here for explanation. because to a
certainty the storm at Mexico City
burst on the State Department and
the White House suddenly in all its
dangerous Importance and poten-
tialities for protracted trouble.
Great Britain is the nation which
has served formal notice on the
State Department that there must
be peace in Mexico. and with this
goes the necessary statement that
the United States must bring about
this peace or that Great Britain,
acting cojointly with the nations
represented at Mexico. will bring
about that peace whether the Unit
ed States participates or not in the
act.
Great Britain is on record in the
Peruvian dispute some months ago
as admitting and pointing out that
II is the duty of the United States
to deal with the Western continent
republics.
The trouble in this case. however, !
is that the duty of the United |
States, as ii is understood by Great
Britain and the diplomatic corps in /
Mexico City. has not been perform
ed, and neither the press IN the |
United States or any foreign nation
has been informed since March 4
al what time the United States
would relieve the foreign nations in
Mexico of the duty of bringing
about peace there themselves.
No one here expects Ambassador
Wilson to go back to Mexico City as
Ambassador of the United States.
L Is known that he has got along
we'll with the Huerta Government,
both socially and otherwise. and, as
matter of fact. aside from the
iimsiest kind of technically. Am
,assador Wilson has recognized the
iuerta Government whether the
United States has recognized it or
lot.
The shock which has been given
o President Wilson and to Secre-
airy Bryan by Great Britain is that
he is not asking for the recognition
II Huerta. but that she is asking
he United States II she will or will
nj do h"r dutv in Mexico under tho {
lonroe Doctrine. or let the world
nov that this Government excerpts
iexico from the operation of the I
ionroe Doctrine.
