Washington, Aug. 2S.--Emphasizing
the fact that the United States must
remain the firm friend Of the people
Of Mexico In their present stress and
trouble, President Wilson today read
his long awaited message on Mexican
Affairs to congress.
The massage was distinctly specific
In tone and contains little In the way
OF recommendation for future policy
except the single one that this govern
ment must urge earnestly that oil
Americans should leave Mexico at
once and that the United States
should assist them to get out Of Mexi.
CO In every way possible.
The president counsels delay before
further action 10 taken. and says:
impatlenee Would ee Childish.
"Impatience on our part would be
childish and would be frought with
every risk Of wrong and folly. The
door 10 not closed against the resump-
tion. either upon the initiative Of Mex.
leo or upon our own. OF tho effort to
bring order out Of the confusion by
friendly cooperative action. should
fortunate occasion offer.
80 long 40 the Misunderstanding
continues we can only await the time
Of their awakening to . realization to
the actual facts. We cannot thrust
our good offces upon them. The stu.
alton must be given little more time
to work itself out In the new circum-
stances. and believe that only little
while will be necessary. The circum.
stances are new. The rejection Of our
friendship makes them new and will
inevitably bring its own alterations In
the whole aspect of affairs. The actual
situation Of the authorities at Mexico
City will presently be revealed"

"Those conditions touch US very

at our very doors. That, Of course,
makes US more vividly and more con-
stantly conscious Of them. and every
instinct Of neighborly interest and
sympathy is aroused and quickened by
them: but that Is only one element In
the determination of our duty. We
are glad to call ourselves the friends
Of Mexico. and we shall, I hope. have
many an occasion, In happier times. as
