BRYAN EXPLAINS
WILSON'S POLICY
Opposes Methods Employed
by Americans Who Attempt
to Seize Control for Per-
sonal Ends.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The pub
lication called Export American In
dustries' will publish in its issue of
March 5th the following signed state
ment from Secretary of State Bryan
on the attitude of the Wilson admin
iistration toward the Latin American
republics:
THE policy of the present admin
stration has been set forth in the
statement issued by President Wilson
last March in his Mobile speech, to-
gether with the directions he has
given In dealing with those countries
whose affairs have engaged his at
tention. In his March statement he
referred to the revolutions which have
so greatly hindered the development of
some of the countries to the south of
us. and indicated his opposition to
the methods which are employed by
Americans who attempt to seize con-
Itroi of the government 70 advance
their own ambitions. or to further
their own personal interests.
ttAll believers in Il republic accept
the doctrine that the government must
derive Ats powers from the consent of
the governed, and the president gives
every legitimate announcement to
those who represent this idea OF gov
eminent while he discourages those
who attempt TO overthrow the prin-
ciples OF popular government
HE is not concerned as to the per-
sonnet of the government. All he de-
sires Is that the people shall have
such Offices as they desire. In Mexico
he rendered the good offices Of this
government with IA view to aiding in
lreconcilins the .contending forces so
that an election could be held and
constitutional government restored.
The main part of the government s.
work In Central and South America is
in the encouragement Of such invest
ments as can he legitimateiy made by
Americans interested in the develop
ment in these countries. Here the
president has substituted for dollar
diplomacy a diplomacy which looks to
the safeguarding of the welfare Of the
Ieountry's developed as we'll as the pro-
ltection of American investments
Nothing will he encouraged away from
home that is forbidden here; in other
words, our business men are expected
ito carry with them into foreign lands
the same business ideals that they
follow here and employ methods which
are right In the forum of morals"
