BLAMES UNITED STATES
FOR ANARCHY IN MEXICO

Paris. Feb. 25-Georges Clemenceau,
former premier OF France and the world S
greatest authority on international
affairs, charges the United States with
full responsibility for the menace TO Eu-
ropeans in Mexico.
Reviewing the Mexican situation in his
paper, rHomme Libre, today, NJ. Clemen-
ceau says:
'The application of the Monroe doctrine
in Central and South America often has
troubled Europe, but in Mexico the diff.
Guilty has been greatly aggravated by the
fact that all the forces of the rebellion
are derived from the United States her.
self.
Il do not see what can come from an
inquiry into Benton's murder, what re-
suits can be expected and what can be
demanded. The right of the United States
to intervene in this affair is weakened by
the fact that she herself is responsible
for the anarchy in Mexico. She does not
wish England or any other European
power TO intervene.
"The English press is perfectly Just
when it points out that the claim of the
United States to guarantee the American
continent against foreign interference can
not be reconciled with her ability to TO-

the lives and property of foreigners

SATISFIES BRYAN
Tells Senate Committee Nations Ap-
prove United States Attitude
Toward Mexico.
DANISH TREATY Is DISCUSSED

Secretary Bryan yesterday informed the
members of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that the State Department
considers the Mexican situation, as a
whole, to be in satisfactory condition
The Secretary had been before the
committee for more than an hour be-
fore the Mexican situation was touched
upon.
The Secretary disclosed to the commit
tee that all the leading foreign countries
had manifested approval Of the course
OF the United States in dealing with
the situation. He was questioned
as to the information received by
the State Department concerning the
strength of the constitutional army,
and as to the prOpriety of recog-
nizng beligerents. He replied the time
might come to accord belligerent rights
to the constitutional party. as a matter
Of eNpediency. but expressed the opinion
that II had not yet arrived.
Members of the committee expressed
the opinion, following the meeting.
that no action would be taken by the
Senate on any OF the pending resolu-
tions until after a report has been re-
ceived through official channels as to
the killing of Benton.
Late yesterday afternoon Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, introduced
the following resolution !n the Sem
ate, which. he explained. was submitted
at the request Of Secretary Bryan, and
which was referred TO the Committee
on Appropriations:
Resolved. That the expenditures of
money appropriated for support of the
army for the transportation and care of
interned Mexican soldiers ard refugees
is hereby ratified and affirmed. and the
accounting officers of the Treasury are
hereby authorized and directed to credit
by transfer to the various appropriations
for the support OF the army such sums
as have been. or may hereafter be. dis
bursed in transporting and caring for in
termed Mexican soldiers and refugees, and
for this purpose there is appropriated out
OF any moneys in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated an amount sufi-
cient to effect such transfers.
Following the appearance of Secre-
tary Bryan, members of the commit
tee expressed the opinion that the
pending treaty with Denmark for gem
tions would be modified to conform to
the treaties that were ratified by the
Senate recently. The draft of the
treaty with Denmark goes further
than any OF the other treaties that
have yet been proposed. and would
make practically every question aris-
ing between the two countries subject
to arbitration Senator Lodge direct
ed the attention of Secretary Bryan
to the fact that under the pending
treaty, IL a question arises between
the United States and Denmark over
the sale of the Danish West Indian
islands, st. Thomas and st. Croix. this
question would be subjected to arbi-
tration. although it involves the Mon
roe doctrine.
Secretary Bryan seemed somewhat
surprised at Senator Lodges sugges-
ton. and admitted be had not given
might. come from an effort by Denmark
to sell the islands.

'WATCHFUL WAITING" PLAN
DENOUNCED IN THE HOUSE

In speech delivered in the House
yesterday, Representative Ainey, of
Pennsylvania. vigorously assailed Presi-
dent Wilson'S policy Of ''watchful wait
ing" over the situation in Mexico. He
insisted that the time had come when
the government should assume more
aggressive policy. Mr.. Ainey intimated
he did not openly advocate the adoption
of such a policy.
Before Mr.. Ainey took the floor he pre-
sented the following resolution:
Resolved, That the President of the
United States be, and he is hereby re-
quested, IL not Incompatible with the
public interest. to transmit 10 the House
of Representatives all information that
may be in his possession or in the pos
session of the Department of State re-
garding the treatment in Mexico of citi-
zens of the United States Of America and
of other countries. with respect to their
safety and the security OF their lives and
property, and to inform the House of
Representatives what action, il any, has
been taken for the protection of Ameri-
can citizens and other persons In Mex
ico.'
I'VE have been informed by the Presi-
dent of the United States that the policy
of 'watchful waiting would bring peace
From this hall and the rostrum in this
hall he enunciated the policy which has
resulted i'm a deadly drifting if not in
merely wishing. .
"It seems to me. gentlemen, that the
policy OF this administration in Mexico
has been one of sitting still until the
conditions have become intolerable and
the American people are unwilling that
these conditions should continue longer.
Secs Cloud on Horizon.
The people of TINS country have
wanted peace and not war They have
not desired intervention in Mexico. But
what was described by the President as
the one small cloud on the political
horizon has grown TO be a great cloud.
until it endangers the peace, security
and good will of this country with the
other nations of the world.
Where are We to turn for this consti-
tutionaI government? Are we to turn to
the constitutionalists? The time has
come when ] think the American people
are realizing that Mexico is filed with
debauchery, rapine, murder, arson, and
all the catalogue of crimes are being COM
mitted in the name of the constitution
alists on the one side. and by the federal
lists on the other. Where will you draw
the line between Huerta and Villa?
Which will you say is the one that is
able to establish a constitutional gov-
ernment in Mexico? How long are We to
wait? How long will it be before the
blood of these slain in Mexico will cry
out to heaven for justice? The policy of
'watchful waiting brings no answer to
this widow of Benton any more than II
brings an answer to the cry of the widow
of Madero.
THE time has come when Il We are to
maintain our position of dominance we
must either assert our rights under the
Monroe doctrine and intervene, or adopt
some policy Of efficiency and dctermina-
ton under the terms Of which the in
condition in Mexico will cease"

PRESIDENT ERRED. SAYS KAISER
Germany Reported to Favor Rec
ognition of Huerta

Berlin. Feb. est is stated on good
authority that Germany has given the
ULited States assurances in regard TO
Mexico coinciding practically with
England's position, as outlined by Sill
Edward Grey.
The Kaiser's government is reported
to have assured President Wilson that
it has held and still holds that the
United States made a mistake in re-
tusing to recognize Huerta. Germany
fears that Mexico will remain for a
long time in a state of disastrous con-
fusion.

Secretary Bryan's visit to the Foreign
Relations Committee, a small audience in
the House listened to a violent attack
upon the Mexican policy by Representa-

speech. which was based on resolution
Mr. Ainey introduced, calling for infor-
