ception as minister by President Poin-

turn TO Paris, as cabled to The Trib-
une. is very much gratified by the
favorable tone Of the French press and
Of French public opinion toward Presi-
dent Huerta and himself. as Huerta's
representative.
During a further conversation to-day
with The Tribune correspondent De La
Barra said: II wish most emphatcelly

WILSON HAS ADMIRER
IN SENIOR DE LA BARRA
Mexican Minister to France Expresses Implicit
Confidence in the Presidents Sense OF
Justice and lmpartiality.

British and French 'bankers-in other
words. it is an international guarantee
in the widest sense OF the term, and
does not concern France any moro than
the United States or England.
81 wish to impress upon all whom I
meet that I have great admiration and
sympathy for President Wilson. and
have implicit confidence in his sense OF
justice and impartiality and his re-
spect for the rights OF sovereignty OF
neighboring nation, and l feel sure
these sentiments will be manifested by
the Washington Cabinet as soon as
President Wilson realizes all the ele-
ments and the full truth Of the situa-
ton in Mexico. I repeat, have genu-
inc admiration and confidence in Presi-
dent Wilson, and only regret that /
have never had the pleasure of meet
ing him personally.
IT know Mr.. Root, whose frank.
honest, statesmanlike declarations at
the Pan-American Congress. during the
Presidency OF Mr.. Roosevelt. caused a
thoroughly good and explicit under
standing between all American repub-
lies at the time, and who sounded the
keynote OF the policy that to-day. as
then, affords the solid basis OF friend
ship upon which the relations and in
terests Of American nations are estab-
lished."

yersation on Wednesday with Porfrio
