WILSON'S MOBILE
SPEECH OPTIMISTIC
ADDRESS TO SOUTHERN CONNER
CIAL CONGRESS.
SAYS DAYS CONQUEST OVER
President Declares That the United
States Will Never Take Territory
by Force-Remarks Pertinent
Concerning Mexico.

Mobile, ALA busy six-hour stay Of
President Wilson in Mobile, speeches by
Majority Leader Oscar Underwood, Sec.
rotary of the Navy ~Josephus Daniels
and many Others, marked the opening
Of the seventh annual Southern Com.
mercial Congress here. Delegatse from
all sections of the South heard Presj.
dent Wilson utter distinctive statements
of a new angle of the policy of the
United States toward Latin-America,
heard Mr.. Underwood advocate upbuild-
ing of the American merchant marine
as ~ best wetl vi gaming Jo,n,.. ~.ca
believed to be due to the South because
of the opening of the Panama canal, and
other speakers tell of the opportunity
that awaits Dixie when the canal is
opened to trade.
The program as far as it affected
President Wilson, was delayed, and In
stead of the delegates hearing hFtl: roAk
twice as had been planned, he delivered
only n address because of lack of time.
The president let it be known that this
administration would look to moral
rather than material interests for paci-
flying our southern neighbors, and this
stirred the delegates to a line of thought
unexpected.
Material interests"-a phrase much
in use internationally of late in char
acterizing the attitude of foreign no.
lions toward Mexico-frequently was
employed by the president. He declared
the American republics long had suffered
from the hard bargains forced upon them
by concessionaries seeking material m
t~erests" in the countries affected. The
president declared that through motives
of morality and not expediency" the
United States desired to help the Latin
American republics to ian emancipation
from the subordination which has been
inevitable to foreign enterprise"
The presidents speech was uttered
with a confidence which bespoke the dom
inant part the United States expects to
play in the future of the American re-
publics. Not through any idea Of ina
terial interest" he carefully explained,
"but through a love Of the principle Of
constitutional liberty"
"The United States will never again
seek to obtain one additional foot Of
territory by conquest" he declared amid
applause.

WILSON HAS NEW
MEXICANPEACEPLAN
EUROPE WILL BE ASKED TO WITH.
HOLD ITS OWN POLICY.
GET ORDER OUT OF CHAOS
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
Are ENGAGED in Solving Problem
for the Pacif. cation Of the
Southern Republic.

Washington President Wilson hal
under consideration a new plan for TO
storing peace in Mexico, which he will
make public within a few days. Off
Gals were r~eticcnt as to what IS contcm'
plated. As the United States has asked
not only the European governments, but
those OF the Latin-Amcrica and the Orr
ent, to withhold the formulation Of their
poiicy toward Mexico until the Wash.
ington government can make known It's
plans for dealing with the situation, the
solution on which the president and Sec
retary Bryan are working, is believed to
be more specific than any suggestions
heretofore made Tor the Taciiication OF
the Southern republic.
High officials o. the government, while
declining to say what steps would be
taken by the United States, declared
that the purposes and aims OF the gov.
eminent had been explained in the pres
ident's speeches at Swa thmore, Pa, and
Mobile, Ala. The American governments
course of action viii be embodied in q
formal note, which it is expected will
set forth the principle that constltu-
tional government alone must be estab'
iished out of the chaos in Mexico and
will suggest means for accomplishing
that purpose.
Though the state Department has not
been informed officially of the reported
purpose of Gen. |lluerta to declare Gen.
Banquet as having been elected, it is
certain TINT in line with previous decla-
r%ations, the election of last Sunday will
mot be recognized An constitutional.
The inability OF the Huerta govern
ment to conduct "A constitutional cleo
ton, it is thought, will lead the Amer
lean government to suggest a method OF
holding the elections in which safe
guard, and guarantees can be given
which will permit the constitutionalists
10 participate freely. Diplomats here
generally believe that before suggestions
concerning any ele 'tion can be carried
out the elimination of lIuc'ta from the
situation must be accomplished,
II is thought that in much the same
way as President Wilson outlined re-
to John Lind the points on which
= satisfactory settlement of the trouble
in Mexico seemed to be GMt,,toned, he
will rene s..p- suggestions, but will add
.Es stipulation that somc one accepta-
bic to all factions be placed in provis'
ional authority to conduct a fair and
free election. Details of an election
plan it is thought would accompany such
suggestions.

Washington.-In response to requests
from the United States, Great Britain,

Bryan they would defer formulating any
Mexican policy until after exchanges
with the United States.
Secretary Bryan announced that all
three countries had given assurance that
they would take no action until the
United States has formulated its own
policy, and that was taken as an indica-
ton that the United States soon would
present to the powers a statement of
the course it intends to pursue in the
new situation which is expected to arise
out Of the elections.
Though interest in this development
ov~ershadows all else n official circles,
the flight of Gen. Felix Diaz from Vera

Wheeling was much discussed, and Rear
Admiral Fletcher was notified by Secre-
tary Bryan that political refugees can
