London, Eng, Feb. 21.-The Brit
ish government at noon today had
taken no action in regard TO the exc
Quito at Juarez of William s. Benton
beyond instructing Ambassador Ce-
ell Spring Rice at Washington to OBJ
tain from Secretary of State Bryan
all possible information.
All members of the British govern
ment consider that recognition of the
constitutionalists as beligerents
would be a mistake.
Although the Benton tragedy ere
ated a sensation there is no serious
disposition on the part of responsible
members that the government change
its policy. There is no concealment
of the fact. however. that the murder
of British subject in Mexico, unless
the murderers are punished and an
indemnity paid. is likely TO arouse
public opinion and the demand that
the government take more agrees
siye attitude.
The Evening Standard says: THE
execution of Benton emphasizes the
fact that some kind of international
compulsion will soon be necessary to
stop Mexico from wallowing in this
sty of corruption and c\lelty.''
