AN UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK

1t is natural that members of thi
Foreign Affairs Comm. ttee OF the U
S. Senate should expect to have som,
thing definite from President Wilson
with respect to the sending Of for
mer Governor Lind of Minnesota t
Mexico. Much to the disappointment
Of these Senators, however, 1t appearl
that the President had nothing defn
lite to communicate when he called the
ference with him on Saturday last
II appears that he has given to Mr..
Lind, or will communicate to him on
his arrival in Mexico, certain definite
points for his guidance. These points
it is rumored, are to be in the nature
of declaration Of the intention Of the
administrato on with respect to the
Huerta government, looking toward
an election in Mexico conducted under
other control than Huertas. But un'
der no circumstances, says the Presi.
dent will the huerta government be
recognized.
An intimation 5 made that some
thing in the nature of demand will
be made upon President Huerta for
submission to the electorate In Next
co, in such manner as will be assur-
eddy far, the proposition Of electing
a President Of that republic. This
suggestion will necessarily carry with
1t an intimation that the President
does not believe ether in President
Huertas honesty or good faith. 1t
will mean that the election is not to
be trusted TO Huerta lest the election
should be unfair or the election re-
turns tempered with. That is fine
sort of thing, truly, to present to a
defactor government. What sort or
standing would man have with Pres
ident Huerta, or with any other head
of nation when he would go to HIM

ing of this matter out of your hands
and putting 1t into the hands of some
honest agency whereby fairness and
justice can be assured"
That is what Pres dent Wilson's at.
titude towards President Huerta real
ly is, no matter under what palaver
the attempt may be made to disguise
the real feeling in the case. Any one
can readily Judge for himself what
sort OF success that sort OF diplomacy
10 likely to achieve. or course, It
is not established that this is Presi.
dent Wilson's attitude, bu, enough
has been shown to show that his atti.
tude is very much like that.
Another suggest on Is that the Pres
lent may give to Mr., Lind general
instructions only and ask him to re.
port Candidly upon what he finds the
conditions in Mexico to be- And yet
the President has had so many OF
such reports, that il difficult TO see
why he should want more of them,
He has had the report of Embasssdo'
Wilson, so far as his impatience would
allow the Embassado" to make It. AZ
has had the report Of his persona
friend and confident, DR.. William Ba,
ard Hale; and he has also had the re
port of his special emissary who wa
entrusted with a quiet mission OF In
Quiry without any publicly about
such as has attended the sending q
Mr.. Lind. The special emissary wa

ports. It appears that the repN,
of DE-. Hale does not tally with tn
OF ambassador Wilson, so Wilson e
a severe snub. The report Of Mr.. d.
Vale did accord fairly with that
ambassador Wilson and so It was s
aside as probably worthless. Al
now Mr., Lind sent TO get the re
thing" as to Mexico In view Of n
severe snubbing which Embassad
Wilson got for making a report n
