Plotting With Powers.
Charge Against Wilson
in Mexico City Paper

MEXICO CITY, November 1.-The
political intTgues of the White House
against our country have entered a
period of apparent inertia recently Pres
ident Wilson showing himself reserved,
undecided and expectant, like one who
prepares a most telling blow" says El
Pals in an editorial article on the situ-
alton today II continues:
THE cable, however, in spite of its
laconicism. gives glimpse of the mach
nations of the government Mt Washing
ton which may be summarized as fol-
lows: President Wilson has not resolved
TO proceed frankly an ,openly against
Mexico, doubtless because he compre-
hends the colossal injustice of his cause,
but he searches for allies and accomQlices
In the crime against humanity plotted in
the White House of annihilating and de-
spelling us as in the time of Santa Anna
ITO this end tend all the efforts of the
Puritan President. and we know by re-
cent dispatches that an effort is being
made to bring about combined diplo-
matte movement by at least some OF the
European powers to sanction acts which
the American government may attempt
against Mexico,
:.2&A is said that France, England and
any will aid President Wilson in
The work, either by Intervention or
through Carranza, of obliging Provisional
President Huerta to renounce the high
post he occupies. We are still obliged to
believe that the friendly powers which
voluntarily and openly recognized Gen.
Huerta as provisional president of Mex
leo, Aill not aid the United States either
morally or materially, because this would
be the equivalent of a fragrant contrad.c-
ton. at variance with international prac-
tices and the deeorum of honorable gov
