which was voiced In the declaration.
The concensus OF opinion among them
was one OF approval that the policy of
his administration would be to dis
countenance lawless revolutions and at
the same time to encourage the growth
OF friendly relationss
President Wilson's statement received
close study today at the hands OF menu

,jority of the members OF the senate and
house committees on foreign affairs ex-
pressed general approval of the presl-
dents attitude. A prominent member
Of the senate committee said he be-
lieved the statement had been issued
to serve as a warning to those who
have held the impression that the new
administration might be lenient with
revolutionists.
It is the understanding among the
senate committees close to President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan that the
administration will urge the extension
of trade in the southern countries thru
peaceful means; but that If necessary
another statement may be issued to
indicate more clearly that American in
terests there will not be aided in any
way If they take part in attempts to
upset established government.
