WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s--Unity of in
terest for all NATIONS of the Western
Hemisphere is planned by President
Wilson and Secretary Of State Bryan.
BY that means they hope TO avoid in the
future the frequent revolutions which
for nearly century have kept Central
frd South America in a turmoil. And
TO bring it about every vestige of dollar
diplomacy" is to be wiped out. The
Monroe Doctrine is to be adhered to to the
very letter and Uncle Sam and not a
power which feels itself aggrieved is to
constitute a police power on this side OF
the world.
This is the Interpretation placed to-
day on President Wilson's significant ut
terances in Philadelphia, at Swarthmore
and again at Mobile. And the President
has also, it is admitted, cleared the way
Tor any action he may desire to take
in restoring order in Mexico.
"The United States will never again
seek to obtain one additional foot of ter
ritory by conquest. Morality and not
expedieney are the motives Of this gov
ernment, and its desire is to help the
Latin American republics to an emanci-
patton from the subordination which
have been inevitable to foreign enter
prises As thus epitomized by the Presi-
dent that is the real pohcy of the pres
ent administration. Ever since he took
the oath of office the President has been
bending his efforts toward this spirit
among the Latin-Ameriean republics.
The big brotherly attitude was first
made evident in the Nicaraguan loan ne
gotiations Little vexing questions
with Brazil were cleared Colombia anS
Panama are being brought nearer. But
Mexico remains obdurste.
The President has opposed armed in
tervention He has. and is, taking
every possible step to avoid it. Only
the active interference of some Euro
poan power or series of outrage'

situation is tense and diplomats her

here that this will be the hnal solution
There can be no interference by any o

lean people themselves. And the mone'
mowers OF France. of Germany and o

will be upheld by the mass Of the peopl
OF these nations.
Having exhausted every POSSIBLE
means OF bringing the warning rae
tions in Mexico together and havini
openly proclaimed that under no cir
cumstances will this government seiz
any Mexican territory, ii is admittel
that. President Wilson is today in sucl
a position that If he must use fore
he will have the support of all partie
in the senate and the house. He ha
insisted time and again that any prob
lem. which involved the peace ant
welfare of the people was not parti
san one. He has told the member
Of the senate and house committee
dealing with foreign affairs that pat
riotism must arise superior to part
sanship and as a result has had thei
unanimous support in his dealing
with Husrta.
The President and Secretary {
State Bryan will confer here tomorro'
after the formers return from Mobile
II is possible that following this cor
ference some future definite declare
tion of policy will be announced S
far as Mexico is concerned.
Advices received here today indicai
that an attempt may be made to d.
clare FREDERICK Gamboa presiden
elect and General Banquet, vice-pre'
ident of Mexico. Gamboa had tn
passive support of Huerta. He is II
ported to have polled a fair-sized vol
and to have run second to Huerta WI

here to his position and insist thl
the ballots cast for him be null ar
void. there exists a bare possibill
that Gamboa will have a majority ov'
the remaining candidates. Then
would be possible for the incomir
congress- which will be absolute
dominated by Huerta, to declai
Gamboa elected. The Banquet vot
are not necessarily void. Under Il
constitution he had the right to be
candidate for vice-president. Thus
Huerta so desires congress could
clare Gambos and Banquet legal

Mexico.
The belief that some such actiC
may be contemplated arises from II
