WASHINGTON. July 15.-President Will
son and Secretary of State Bryan will
he unable much longer to ignore the
situation in Mexico as n grave and
pressing Internal tiona problem which
the United States as the responsible
nation in the Western Hemisphere
must squarely face. This became evil
dent from important developments to-
day.
II was disclosed for one thing that al,
the foreign Ministers in Mexico city re-
Gently drew up an identical note which
they despatched to their Governmcnts
solemnly declaring that the United
States by its stubborn refusal to recos.
nize the Mexican Government IL directly
contributing to the increasing disorder
IN that country. The note urged that
the other Governments cali upon the
Washington Government either to rec
ognize the Huerta Government or un-
dcrtake the task Of restoring order IN
Mexico.
/ 1t was further disclosed that the
diplomatic representative of one EN-
ropean Power has called upon Secretary
Bryan and presented practically the
alternatives urged by the Diplomatic
Corps in Mexico city. Mr.. Bryan was
requested to inform this Government,
what the United States intends to do
with regard to the international nul-
sance existing in what is virtually its
backyard.
Europe DisGusted with 4. 8. Attitude
1t became known definitely to-day
that every great Foreign Ofiice In Eu-
rope IL disgusted with the failure q.
the United States to do anything di-
rectly or indirectly to relieve the fright
fnl state of affairs in Mexico. The
European Governments are "extremelv
annoyed" as one Embassy expresses 1t.
at what seems To them the !neXpicable
attitude Of the Wilson Administration
toward Mexico. The increase of anti
Americanism in Mexico has been really
welcomed by the European Govern
ments IN the hope that this bold en-
hhition Of hostility to Americans and
the American Embassy there will goad
the United States into doing something.
/ 1t is maxim in all Latin American
countries that no Government in that
/ quarter of the world which fails to re-
! ceive the recognition Of the United
! states can long exit. Knowing this the
. Diplomatic Corps IL Mexico city the
Governments of Europe and the Mex-
cans themselves are explaining the re-
fusal If the United States to recog-
niae the present Government Of Mexico
solely on the assumption that the
United States desires that the Huer,a
Government be destroyed. In Europe
h., b,, ha
! President Wilson and Mr.. Bryan ar"
pcrssting in their attitude with the
deliberate intention of having condi-
tions get so very bad In Mexico that
there will be sufficient excuse to inter
v.ne. MeXicans declare President VIII
son is hoping that by holding on he will
the more easily take possession Of Mex
leo. which has exhausted herself In in
terpal disscnsion.
That these beliefs are absolutely
groundess does not make their exist
cnce in the minds of other Govern
ments any the less embarra ssing.
All Europe Recognizes Mexico.
Practically all the great Powers Of
Europe have recognized the existing
Government In Mexico and are anxious
that the days OF ruthless attacks on
spoliaton of their properties shall be
ended The diplomatic representations
made to the United States within the
last few days are the necessary pre-
l.minaries to decisive action by the
Governments Of Europe. The moment
anticipated now for three years is rap
Idly approaching when the rest Of the
world will say to the United States:
Fish, cut bait or get ashore. II you
are willing to stand longer for the out
rageous conditions in Mexico We are
not and we propose TO apply remedy"
The United States, supposedly the
leader OF the nations Of the world in
affairs Of Latin America, is row oc-
cupying a lonely place Mt the tail of
the procession in regard to Mexico.
Arrayed against it are those nations
which have recognized Mexico. includ-
ing Great Britain, Spain, Japan, Saliva
dor. Guatemala. China, Italy. Germany.
Portugal, Belgium, Norway. Russia and
Austria Hungary.
MEXICO wOuldnt wait.
With pressure being brought to hear
on the United States by other Govern
ments. the Wilson Administration fnds
itself in a most difficult situation. Tho
Administration pinned Its faith to the
hope that Mexico would not rise as a
pressing problem until tarin and cur
rency could be got out Of the way and
that after the Mexican elections in
October a new Government would come
into Office which the United States
consistently could recognize. The in
dications now are that the Mexican
situation will not wait on the wishes
Of the Administration.
To change the policy now would -
