London. oct. 27.-"The Daily Mail
referring to President Wilson's pro-
nouncement on Saturday, which II de-
scribed as a speech OF great eloquence,
saws: 1T is to be feared that the
moral indignation OF section or me
American press against Huerta's
bloodstained dictatorship did not
spring from the same sources as those
which inspire Mr.. Wilson. The danger
in the Mexican situation is that which
always is found lurking where idealism
mingles with politics. ldealists seem
fated TO stir up trouble. and their IDEAL
ISM If only for its transparent hon
esty, is the more deadly in effect IL
there are forces behind it which are by
no means idealistic, but only seeking
TO use II TO serve thei. own earthly
ends"
THE Times" also refers. 10 President
Wilson's speech in terms Of high praise.
1t says II shows once again by what
very high ideals the President is actu-
ated and continues:
we do not question the elevation or
sincerity of these sentiments; We can
not but question how far they may be
practical politics. We more than once
suggested reasons why 1t does not
seem possible TO apply them TO the
Mexico Of TO-DAY, whoever may be
President there or whatever group or
party may be in Office.
we are awaiting developments OF
events with the sincere desire to see
peace and decent government re-estab-
lshed there. Americans, we well know.
are inspired by the same motives. but
they seem to define their attitude tow
ard any new government which the
elections may bring forth before II
comes into being. II they have a prac-
teal plan for realizing the immediate
benefits which we and they agree Mex
leo requires we shall be ready to give II
our best and most friendly considera-
| ton.
ITO speak frankly, we do not believe
a government can be established in
Mexico which will realize. even rough
| ly, President Wilson's ideals, but we
shall be delighted TO find that we are
mistaken. There has been, we repeat,
no friction between London and Wash
ington on the question hitherto, and we
earnestly hope there will be none in
the future"
THE Daily Telegra phi" says: with
the highest sanction we can assure our
readers that nothing in Minister Car
! denis interview with Huerta bore upon
the strained relations between Mexico
and the United States. Throughout this
difficulty the pleasant relations have
existed between the British Foreign
Office and the American Ambassador,
who has been fully taken into Sir Ed
ward Grey's confidence, and whatever
action may seem necessary after the
Mexican election the same frank and
friendly correspondence will continue.
1T is perhaps necessary to refer to the
Monroe Doctrine. The United States is
realizing in these days of scientific
weapons that the task Of guaranteeing
justice and the solvency of the other
half of the continent is one that would
have daunted Rome herself. But II Is
nothing less than Monroe claimed. He
acted on advice from England. and
until some arrangements for joint po-
litical action can be made. or until the
United States suggests its inability to
deal militarily with its turbulent neigh
bors, Great Britain will not intervene"
THE Daily News" says: There is
enough mystification about the reported
interviews with Sir l.. Garden 10 call
for clearing up. Clearly more is re-
CURED to dispose of the incident. Both
interviews must be repudiated, so that
the episode which quite naturally irri-
tated American opinion may be consid-
cred at an end"
