INDIANAPOLIS. August 28.-Henry
Lane Wilson, United States ambassador
to Mexico, emphatically denied here last
night the assertion by Senior Gamboa,
secretary Of foreign affairs OF Mexico
and quoted by President Wilson in his
message before Congress today that Mr.
Wilson, as ambassador to Mexico. had
recognized thhe Huerta government.
"A diplomatic officer is not clothed with
authority to recognize de jure govern.
ment," declared Mr.. Wilson. ''but under
the pressure Of an unusual and urgent
situation he may recognize pending fur.
ther instructions, de facto government
This il precisely what happened in
the case of Mexico. The diplomatic
corps thought 1t especially important in
the interests Of preservation of order and
to prevent the further destruction Of life
and property, that the provisional gov
eminent should have recognition as the
de facto government in Mexico.
1T Is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
dangerous situation that then existed
that any one should have expected the
diplomatic corps to do otherwise than II
