MEXICAN POLICY IS
 UPHELD BY HALE
Unofficial Investigator Of Mexican
 Affairs LaudS Wilson.

New York, April Civilian Bay ard Hale, President Wilson's unofficial investigator of affairs in Mexico, has contributed to the forthcoming num- Der of the Worlds Work an article upholding the presidents Mexican policy and pointing out an important development in the character oI American diplomacy. This, he ex- plains, is an interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine, that esta blishes the suzerainty of the United States only as an effective source of moral inspir- ation over the nations of Central America and the West Indies.
 .'The press and the people of America" he says, have not yet awakened to the fact that the first year of the Wilson presidential has given the United States a new charac- ter among the powers of the world. Before MT. Wilson had been in office a week, he had given the Monroe Doctrine an interpretation the impli- cations of which go far beyond any thing voiced by Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Quincy, Adams, Polk, Web- ster. Grant or Olney. Before MT. Wilson had been in office year the powers of other continents had yield- ed to the principle of our domination in the western; hemisphere. It is not fantastical therefore to speak of our moral empire in America.
 Writes As Private Student.
 "Our Moral Empire In America" is the title of the article. The n1aga- zine editors point out that Dr. Hale desires to make it clear that he writes simply as private student of affairs. Nevertheless, they assert that no one except the president himself is entitled to speak with greater authority upon the problems of Latin America. Discussing the possibility of inter- vention in Mexico (the article was written before the fleet was ordered to Tampico). pr. Hale says: .'An American army would have no physi- cal difficulty in getting back out of Mexico. Nobody would use it before 1t got away; the difficulty would be that greed and a false sense of national honor would do their utmost to keep us there permanently in occu- pation.'
 We do not want Mexico, he de- clares; especially we do not want her because we do want the good will Of the rest of Latin America. "It would
 
 confidence of hemisphere for all We could gain by annexing Mexico"
 - Order Is Wanted.
 If armed intervention should be forced upon us, he continues, "I pre- dict that our forces will be ordered home just as soon as constitutional order has been restored; and that SO far as the power and influence of President Wilson can bring 1t to pass. nothing in the nature of an indemnity, either in money or land, will be asked or will be accepted. But nobody can predict how far the in- fiuence of the vast American invest ments in Mexico, which would be multiplied in value by being brought under the American flag, might go toward rendering withdrawal impos- sible. What we do wan, in Mexico, and throughout Central America, is order"
 The trouble with Central America, Dr. Hale asserts, is it's proc1ivity for revolution. But, he says, most Gen. tral American revolutions are pro noted from Europe in a regular way of. business, exactly as real estate scheme is promoted in America. The d,rfv of tho TInifo1 C<htnc eo~,4i
