London, NoE. lO.-Thc prime minis
ter II. n. Asluih discussed the Mex
jean situation Ia his annual speech at
tine lord mayors banquet tonight
"Our Interests in Mexico, said the
prime minister "cal for yieilaut care
Mexico is stil iu the throcs of a civil
war; but there never was and never
has been any question Of political in
tcwcntion by Great Britain i'm the do
mesuc concerns of Mexico, or i'm the
Central or South American states.
"It IS not part of our duty to pre-
vent revolutions or control civil wars
The utmost we can do is to give what
protection is possible on the coast to
British subicc:s and property Their
have been rumors that after the
United states had adopted a line Of
their own in regard To Mexico, we tooh
a line calculated deliberately 20 thwart
America There is not a yestige Of
foundation for such rumor.
1--WE recognized President Huer,d
because, having neither the VIII nor
the power TO intervene, we were bound
to deal with the defacto government
and because of information then In
our possession there appeared to be
no element except that of Iuerta and
his supporters which offered any pros
pect of the restoration OF stability aa1
order This was on March 81 Very
shortly afterward in answer to our
inquiries we were informed by the
government of the United states that
as regarding the recognition of presi-
dent Huerta, no definite answer could
be given, except that they would wait
some time longer before recognizing
him
"since then there has been no
change in policy and no departure Of
any kind The change of ministers
to Mexico involved no change Of pol
icy. We have the right to assume that
in whatever policy America adopts she
will have regard for the legitimate
commercial foreign interests in Mex
leo as well as her own There has been
an interchange of views with the ut
most franlness and cordially on both
sides our diplomatic relation with
The United states for a long time has
beon such that with the freest of dis
cussion on all matters that might from
time to time arise, we both feel the
fullest assurance nothing can happen
to disturb our common resolve to at
tain and maintain % sympathetic un-
derstanding'
Premier Asqulth began his speech
with a review Of the Palkan troubles
and congratulated The powers upon
preserving peace among themselves
during those troubles lie pledged
England 60 do an possible towards
the rehabilitation a Turkey but only
after consulting the desires Of the
other powers,
Winston Churchill first lord Of the
admiralty disappointed those who
looked forward to a possible cessation
of naval construction, by declaring
that next year IL would be his duty to
present before parliament estimates
substantially glvater than those of last
year. Mr.. Churchill emphasized the
development OF the submarine and
aerial branches of the navy and dis
cussed the increase in The navy's per-
sonneL Next year ,he navy will have
10000 sailors and marines. This to-
tai will exceed ;he largest number ever
raised for the royal navy even in the
greatest crisis of the Napoleonic wars
