Sir Edwards Statement.

hi reply to a question as to the nvesti-
cation into the death of Benton Sir Ed
ward said:
Il must ask leave of the house to make
a somewhat more extended statement
than can properly be compressed within
the limits of an answer to a question
All the efforts that have been made NTH
erto have failed to secure an investiga-
ton into the facts respecting the death
of William s. Benton
THE persistent difficulties put in the
way of such an investigation create the
strongest presumption Of a desire and an
intention to conceal the truth on the part
Of those in Mexico who are responsible
for what has happened.

Sums Up Situation.

Il would therefore, sum up the situa-
ton by saying that if the United states
thinks il proper to take further steps
either on behalf of its own citizens o. OF
a British subject. We will gladly wait the
result But. if for reasons of its own, the
United States does not think it desirable
to take such steps we must. of course. re-
serve to ourselves the righL to secure
reparation whenever it is in our power to
do SO.
Our general policy toward Mexico ard
the Central and South American republics
is confined to commercial interests which
we keep within non-political limits. AS
rule therefo.e t. all questions that arise
between those republics and ourselves are
settled BY diplomatic means or can be re-
ferred TO arbitration.
But the violent death OF q British sub
iect and the refusal by those responsible
in Mexico To allow the circumstances to
be. Investigated make it incumbent upon
US to do what We can Oh our own behalf.
Assuming that the United States does
not desire itself to take any responsible
itv for intervention. il has been urged
upon me that We should take immediate
action without, however. giving me any
suggestion or indication of what action
We can take at the moment.

Sir Edward Grey Discusses
Mexican Situation Before

U. S. is NOT BLAMED

tude Causes Resentment.

LONDON. March 3.-The British gov
ernment's view that no immediate action
could be taken by 1t in connection with
the deadlock over the investigation into
the death at Juarez of William S. Benton
was made quite plain today in the house
of commons by Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary.
Sir Edward was. however. equally eN-
plicit in pointing on; that if Great
Britain failed to secure satisfaction
through the United States, the British
government reserved to itself the right to
secure reparation whenever it was able
to do so.
The promised pronouncement on the
Mexican situation from the foreign secre-
tary had been anxiously awaited 1t was
delivered before keenly interested
gathering of the members of the house of
commons
Intense resentment has been displayed
throughout the British isles over what is
regarded the attempt on the part OF
Nenustiano Carranza, the constitutionalist
leader, to SOW discord between England
and the United States. and also over the
repeated delays in the investigation of
the death of Benton.
