One of the most interesting and
helpful results of President Wilson's
special address to Congress on the
Mexican situation IS the responsive
ring of approval 1t has brought from
thinking men in every party and in
every section Of the country. The
Atlanta Journal says II Huerta ever
had reason to doubt that the admin
istration was speaking for the entire
American people he is now convinc-
ed of his error, for every voice OF
public opinion that commands respect
has united in earnest commentator
of the course the President is pursn-
ing.
Thus the New York Tribune, as
staunch O. spokesman of Republican
politics as could be found, declares
that the nation must approve and
support the dignified, benevolent and
resolute policy which was put for
ward in the Presidents message and
the Sun afirms that ':the attitude OF
the administration, so manifestly- in
spired by lofty ideals Of duty and OF
method, represents exactly the atti-
tude of our Congress and, generally,
of the American people.
The Herald speaks with insight as
we'll as enthusiasm: "No more strik-
ing evidence of the truism that in the
United States political opinion "stops
at the border" could be asked or
given than that furnished by the re-
ception accorded by Congress to Pres
ident wilson's address. Republican
Senators and Representatives, as
strongly as those Of the Presidents
own party gave unequivocal approval
of the efforts Of the executive depart
ment has made to promote peace in
our neighboring republic, and of the
policy to be pursued in the imn1e-
diate future"
The Evening Post remarks that the
President "has absolutely united the
country behind him. Scarcely sin
gle partisan or prejudiced voice Is
raised against his general attitude.
This is the more remarkable in that
the Presidents plea, while strongly
insisting upon the national dignity
and the duty laid upon the United
States, is all for peace, all for friend
ship with Mexico, all for non-inter-
vention, all for the most resolute de-
rial of any selfish purpose in our at
tempts to bring about peaceful set
tlement."
The Boston Transcript is confident
that Mexico and the world are now
convinced "that the voice Of the
President in this crisis is the voice Of
the nation" and the Springfield Re-
publican declares that the course Mr..
Wilson advises sis the only one to
pursue and the American people will
show their patriotism to the best ad-
vantage by solidly supporting him" "
The Chicago Tribune says 1.-THE
Presidents action is based on the
deepest and broadest foundations OF
American international policy, foun-
dations sometimes ignored but al
ways ignored at cost" The Chicago
Inter Ocean counsels the American
people "to stand firmly with their
President in seeking such a triumph
of moral force and pressure as most
clearly distinguished from physical
arguments of any kind"
And the San Antonio Express,
speaking from the first hand exper-
ience Of one on the troublous South
ern border, observes: congress
cheered the President; we who know
conditions In Mexico, we who are
more capable of judging because OF
our proximity to and our familiarity
with the affairs Of the neighborlng
Republic, congratulate him on his
wisdom and strength
Thus, almost without dissenting
voice, does the press Of the United
States sanction and support the far
sighted and high-minded policy the
administration is carrying forward. 1t
is doubtful if ever before in the coun-
try's history a President ever inspir-
ed confidence so cordial and wide
spread in dealing with crucial is
