The Urited States is responsible for
present conditions in Mexico" said
Rev. Allen Burleson. Episcopal mis-
sionary at Guadalajahar, state Of jail
isco, at the home Of his brother, Rev.
J. K. Burleson, this morning. Mr..
Burleson has just returned from Mex
leo BY way OF New York, where he at.
tended the general convention Of the
Vera Cruz on September t25, going di-
rectly to New York. He reached
Grand Forks Saturday night.
Mr. Burleson was very emphatic in
his declarations regarding the stand
President Wilson has taken. He made
no attack on the president, but declar-
cd. in no uncertain terms. that his
Mexican attitude has been "a blum
der"
Financial Conditions Growing Worse.
"The financial conditions Of Mexi-
co are growing steadily worse" he
States. think the attitude Of this
country. has been wholly and entirely
wrong. The United States should
have recognized the Huerta govern
ment long ago: and the United States
is responsible for present conditions in
Mexico. ~.
''The lack Of recognition by thi.
government has prevented the Huerta
which would enable them to settle this
revolution
; Ia. speaking Of the stand President
Wilton has, taken. Mr.. Burleson said:
III President Wilson had recognized
the. Huarta .Eov4AnN1ou utsy nj shaaAhath
have done long ago. there would be
peace In Mexico today. But instead
conditions are growing steadily. vorse.
Jpaeystand. I an not attacking Preis
1dent sWile6n. believe he fs tiothE
what he honestly thinks is right, but
he Is wrong.
Doesn't See influence.
II don't know what influence Mr..
Wilson is yielding to; J. don't think he
does. I don't think for moment
that the president is yielding con-
sciously to any influences. but I do be-
lieve he unconsciously is submitting to
the will Of solne, men, -
''1s It too late for Mr. Wilson to rec.
ognize the Huerta government now?"
Mr.. Burleson was asked.
"No, 1t IL not too late: but Mr.. VIII
ron cannot do 1t. He has said he
wouldn't do go. and he can't. He spoke
too quickly, and. II he should submit
now, he would break up the demo-
cratic party"
When asked his opinion regarding
intervention. Mr.. Burleson was en-
phatic in declaring against it.
Intervention a Crime.
"Intervcntion would not only be q
crime, he said, "but it would be a
monumental blurder. which is worse
than a downright misdeed. II the
United States crosses the Rio Grande,
they will solidify against this country
and crvstelize into an absolute GER
tainty the hatred and suspicious that
every Latin country has against the
United states. AS quickly as the SOL
diers cross that river they would have
united against them every Latin coun-
try from the Rio Grande to Cape
"You can't make the Mexican be-
lieve that It. is not the intention Of
the United States to seize every bit Of
the country as far south as the PAN
anna canal. You can tell them you
don't want their country. hut they
won't believe You. They say: You
stole all that land from us in 1s40.'
and your answer to that as q matter
of history does not satisfy them.
"They point to Nicaragua. The
United States recognized that 7tnsur-
rectior within avery few hours. after
one life was lost and half dozen
shots fired. You say, that was neces-1
eary.
Cuba a "Horribie Eample."
They point to Cuba, and you say:
Look what we've done for the Cu-'
bans.' :, They tell ;you what you have
done. The Cubaps cannot elect an Of
ficer and cannot borrow O dollar, un-
less the United States government
agrees. They tell you, you are just
waiting to grab the whole Of Cuba.
and they have some things to back
them up. I tell .you,- my sympathies
are with the -Mexicans in this trou-
bie." ~. ~. r. .: +

Mr.. Burleson, :.the $Iiuerta govern
