1T is said that France. England and
Germany will aid President Wilson In
the work, either by intervention or
through Carranza, or by obliging Pro-
visional President Huerta to %renounce
the high post he occupies. We are still
obliged to believe that the friendly

BRITISH GOVERNMENT is
WARMLY SCORED BY PRESS

London, Nov 3.-In an editorial TO-DAY
the Nation following an outline of re-
cent Mexican history. sharply criticises
the policy of Great Britain in Mexico.
After asserting to the propositions that
Great Britain cannot intervene in the
affairs of a half civilized nation be-
cause it's morals are bad II its poll
tics illiberal n that the first concern
OF British diplomacy is with British
interests the editorial says:
Our complaint is not that British
diplomacy has declined to intervene
against President Huerta. In rather n
peculiar cynical way it has given him
cou%ntenance n at a moment when
the United States was using it's in
fluence to restore some semblance Of
industrial order. Had all the world
recognized Huerta our action would
have had little significance but it was
at a dramatic omen when 1t could
be interpreted only as a rebuff and a
counter poise to the efforts Of President
Wilson. The term British interests
in this connection requires some defin-
ition. Cheap labor. for one thing, is
not Il British interest"
After stating that Lord Cowdray and
other British capitalists are friendly
to Huerta as they We're friendly to
President Diaz and expressing the be-
lief that American oil interests are be-
mind the Mexican constitutionalists the
article declares that even in the mar
rowest views of British interests the
success OF a revolution which aims at
turning serfs into free wage earners
may in the end. do more to benefit Brit
ish trade than all the favors a dictator
might shower on a few concessionaries.
The editorial concludes with a de-
nuncfation of the policy of the British
foreign office as not being in accord
with liberal principles. 1t says this
leaves Great Britain standing alone
among the liberal powers and p
h country to suspicion at a monen
when the government more than ever
deserves British goodwill.
