INTERVENTION IS OPPOSED
SIR LIONEL GARDEN SAYS IT
WOULD BE CRITICALLY
SERIOUS MOVE

London, March 4. The Mexican sit.
uation and Sir Edward Grey's pro
nouncement Of the views Of the Brit
ish government in regard to the in
vestigation into the death of William
S. Benton are the subject of much
comment in today's newspapers. The
Pail Mall Gazette says:
THE restrained language in which
Sir Edward Grey referred to the Mexi-
can murder will have the approval Of
all Englishmen. But it will not dis
guise the depth OF their feeling.
Every reason Of moral and inter-
national right requires Of the United
States that the punishment of Ben
TONS murder shall be undertaken
without delay. AT the present mo
ment civilization stands flouted and
Great Britain outraged
The Globe says:
Sir Edward Grey said much to EN-
phasize the gravity Of recent events
and very little to relieve the disquiet
which those events have inevitably
provoked. The public opinion of this
country viii take no consideration of
the embarrassment of President VIII.
son and his inadequate excuse for ac-
quiescing in such deeds Of which
Pancho villa, with the approval of
Venustiano Carranza. has been guilty.
What the United States has done is
not merely to allow civil war to
persist, but to foment it by allowing
arms and ammunition to be supplied
to the belligerents.
The United States is bound to ex-
ert that predominant and exclusive in
fluence which it claims for putting an
end to things which have become
danger not merely to the United
states itself, but to the civilized
