In rhe rnitcd press

BY The United Press.
LONDON. March s. Great Britain to-
day made public its polcy in regard 70
the killing of Nilliam :. Benton in
Mexico through an announcement by Sir
edward Grey, foreign secretary, in the
House OF Commons.
80 Tar, said Sir Edward Grey, "thc
United States has shown as much inter
e-t in the death in Mexico OF a British
subject as II has in the cases OF out
RACES on American citizens. The United
States has shown every desire to secure
protection for British subjects in the
Mcxican territory controlled by the Con
stitutionalisi-.
"All efforts made up TO now have
failed TO obtain an inquiry into tho facts
regarding the death Of William 5. Ben-
ton The persistent difficulties inter
pose m the way of such an inNestiga'
ton create ihe presumption OF a desire
or intention to conccal the truth ON the
part of those in Mexico who arc respon'
siblc for what has happened. Commnni'
cations with She government OF ths
United States are still proceeding, but
repeat what ! said here last week, these
communications do not imply that the
government of the United States has
any responsibility tor what has taken
place, the death Of i'enton.
81 would sum up the situation by
saving that if the United state:
thinks II proper to take further steps
on behalf OF it's own citizens or Brit
sh subjects, we will gladly await th'
result
"But. If for reasons OF its own. th'
T-nfsod Stotce doae not think it dosir

course. reserve TO ourselves the rign
TO secure reparation whenever IT Il
I'm our power to do so. ASSUMING
that the United states desires not II

Intervention. II has been urged upoi
me that we should take immediate
action. without, however giving M
any suggestion of what action we cal
take.
81 must repeat what / said her
last week. that there is nothing w
can do under present conditions. Tn
government in Mexico City has NJ
control over the territory where tn
death of Benton occurred nor oyc
those responsible for his death. w
have no intention of engaging IN sue
