"The Times's" Comment.

The Times" says: President Will
son referred TO the Mexican situation
in his message. There would be no
need. the President believed, for the
United states to alter it's policy of
watchful waiting. 1t is to just that
policy that opinion in Mexico City as
cribes the recent aggravation OF the
situation and the rapid spread Of an
archy, accompanied by every sort OF
horror.
If, says our correspondent, the
present tactics continue TO be pur-
sued. no words are too strong to paint
the disastrous results which will ensue.
We are convinced that these dangers
are realized as fully in Washington as
in Mexico City.
presidents. like other heads Of
state, are not given TO betraying the
secrets of their policies in p}bl1 ut
terances. The immediate Purpose of
the United States Government is to
get rid Of Huerta. When that pur-
pose is achieved it will be time to
set about reconstruction. We shall
be surprised if when that moment
comes President Wilson is not found

apply a plan for restoring order and
decent government in the neighboring

Reported Preparing to Leave
Guaymas and Mazatlan.

Hermosillo, Mexico. Dec.2.-Oficials here
received information to-day from Federal
deserters that the garrisons at Guaymas
and Mazatlan had been preparing TO
evacuate. II was believed this gave rise
10 the reports from Juarez last night that
the two west coast ports had fallen into
the hands Of the insurgents.
There has been no disposition by Con-
stitutionalists TO attack either town, as
Il has been assumed that sooner or later
the Federals would evacuate. Both towns
were well fortified. and at Guaymas the
Federal gunboats increased the danger to
the attacking party.

LONDON PAPERS
PRAISE MESSAGE
President Wilson Credited with
High Ideals in His Attitude
Toward Mexico.
rRv Gable to The Tribune.

London. Dec. 3.-This mornings "a
pers all comment in their editorial coll
umns on President Wilson's message.
The Morning Post" says:
THE message must be regarded not
as mere statement of pious aspira-
tions but as a declaration of purpose
on the part of the responsible head of
the government. 1t is marked by that
spirit of idealism and devotion to nigh
principles which have been manifest
in all his public utterances.
president Wilson expresses the hope
that the United States will help to in
augurate an age of settled peace and
good will between nations, and urges
that she should give proof of the sin
certify of her professions by ratifying
the treaties of arbitration which now
await renewal. 1t will be interesting
to see what impression this appeal
makes on the Senate"
Critics Disarmed.
THE message gains in clarity by its
conciseness." says The Daily Mail.
president Wilson has given fresh proof
of his belief that escape may be found
out of the Mexican deadlock without
recourse to the perilOus eXpedient oil
armed Intervention. The standpoint to
which this country has, as Wilson
knows, unswervingly adhered, is that
the best government for Mexico is one
which will evolve order. His own
policy of watchful waiting has dis
armed such critics as sought to at
tribute predatory aims to the Wash
ington Cabinet. His plan Of wearing
Huerta down by peaceful means should
encourage Mexican patriots to come
forward. In fine, he expects the saliva
ton of Mexico to come from Mexico
herself"
The Daily News" says: Seldom has
Presidential message TO Congress
contained so many bold and original
ideas. President Wilson applies fresh
mind and a very considerable contempt
for formulas to both foreign and do
nestle affairs, The Wilson attitude
toward Huerta is not an exceptional
case 1t is an application of the gen
cral principle that the United States
will in future not COuntenance or deal
with any pretended governments of
that kind, because the United States
champions constitutional government.
This is a new form of the Monroe
Doctrine which may have its own diff
culties in practice. but is infinitely
preferable 10 Roosevelt's big stick
policy. The big stick chastiscd with
out teaching and led straight into i'm
periaHst adventures. to the genesis of
