Boston, March 20-Henry Lane Will
son, ex-Ambassador Ia Mexico. at a din
ner here tonight said that ''every Gov
eminent In that country had been shot In
and out OF power"
"A revolution Is an election" said Mr..
Wilson. and no went on TO criticise the
mistakes OF the present Administration
with regard to Mexico.
he said the first error in Washington
was the announcement that II would not
recognize government owing to its stand
toward violence made before President
Wilson had examined the records Of the
state Department, and WAS an expression
OF the Presidents own views "be,ng con-
trary To presidents under both Demo-
cratic and Republican administrations and
being announced without foresight"
What Mr.. Wilson termed as "our At
tempted Intervention as the supporters of
rebels In arms against a regularly const!-
tuted Government" had been responsible
for the destruction Of millions In property
and the financial ruin OF thousands of
Americans. This action, said the speaker,
excited the suspicion and hostility of
every Latin American country and
launched us on sea Of imperialism of
which no man can see the shore"
