BRITISH NEWSPAPERS
ATTACK U. S. POLICY
Declare Action Should Be Taken to
Prevent More Occurrences Like
Benton Case.
PRESIDENT WILSON CRITICISED

LONDON. Feb. H.-British newspapers
today assailed the United States govern
ment for its policy in Mexico and de-
clared that action should be taken
promptly to prevent any further cases
such as the murder OF William S. Ben
ton, the wealthy ranch owner.
The foreign Office stated early in the
day that II had no information concern
ing the execution of Benton. beyond the
newspaper reports. and the officials re-
fused TO discuss the matter.
The Globe, speaking editorially. says:
1T is intolerable that British subjects
should continue TO be done to death with
out redress. The United States
not only have the responsibility, which is
involved in the assertion of the Monroe
doctrine and its denial of the right Of a
European government to protect its own
subjects in Mexico. but they have the
additional responsibility of supplying Gen.
Villa and the Mexican rebels with arms
and thereby promoting lawlessness. which
has had such grievous results TO British
subjects and interests President Wilson
has gone too far to shrink from going
farther"
''Benton's summary execution" says
the Evening Standard, ''if IL is a fact,
only emphasizes the fact that Mexico is
a semi-barbarous country, and some in
ternational compulsion soon will be nee
essary to stop it's wallowing in this style
OF corruption and cruelty"
The Evening News holds President
Wilson partly responsible. though de-
Tending his motives, saying: The de-
plorable state of things in Mexico Is one
for which the attitude of President VIII
son is partly responsible, though he all
along has been actuated by the highest
motives 1t seems certain that
MIR. Benton was shot in cold blood, on
Villas instructions. and when this sort
of thing happens to British subject the
British government hitherto has had
something to say on the matter.
Eve must not be taken as supposing
that there is any cause for friction with
the United States over the matter.
9 We presume President Wilson's
policy Of folded hands now will come to
an end
