SEES SUZERAINTY
 OF UNITED STATES
This, He Says, is Only all Effective Source of Moral Inspiration Over Nations of Central America and West Indies
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl

Sayard Hale, President wilson un- official investigator of affairs iu Mexico, has contributed to the forth coming number of the World $ Work an article upholding the presi- dents Mexican policy and pointing cut an important development in the character of American diplomacy. This. he explains, is an interpreta tion of the Monroe doctrine, that establishes the suzerainty of the United States only as an effective source of moral inspiration over the nations of Central America and the West Indies.
 The press and the people of America" he says, have not yet awakened to the fact that the first year of the Wilson presidential has given the United States new char acter among the powers of the world. Before MT. Wilson had been in office a week, he had given the Monroe doctrine an interpretation the impli- cations of which go far beyond any thing voiced by Jefferson. Madison. Monroe. Quincy, Adams, Polk, Web ster, Grant or Olney. Before MT. Wilson had been in office d year the powers of other continents had yield ed to the principle of our domina- ton in the western hemisphere. It is not fantastical therefore to speak of our moral empire in America"
 Our Moral Empire in America" is the title of the article The maga- zine editors point out that pr. Hale desires to make it clear that he writes simply as a private student of affairs. Nevertheless, they assert that no one except the president himself is entitled to speak with greater authority upon the problems of Latin America.
 Discussing the possibility of inter vention in Mexico (the article was written before the fleet was ordered to Tampico), pr. Hale says: An American army would have no phys
 cal difficulty in getting back out of Mexico: nobody would use it up be- fore it got away: the difficulty would be that greed and q false sense of national honor would do their utmost to keep us there per manently in occupation
 We do not want Mexico, he de- ciares especially we do not want will of the rest of Latin America. Tt would be a fools act indeed to barter the confidence of a hemi- sphere for all we could gain by an nexing Mexico
 If armed intervention should be forced upon us. he continues, "1 pre- dict that our forces will be ordered order has been restored: and that. so far as the power and influence of President Wilson can bring it to pass. nothing in the nature of an in demnity. either in money or land. will be asked or will be accepted. But nobody can predict how far the influence of the vast American in estments in Mexico, which would be multiplied in value by being brought under the American flag. might go toward rendering withdrawal impos- sible. What we do want in Mexico, and throughout Central America, is order"
 The trouble with Central America. Dr. Hale asserts, is it's proclivity for revolution. But, he says, most Cen tral American revolutions are pro moted'' from Europe in regular way of business. exactly as real estate scheme is promoted in Ameri- ca. The duty Of the United States is to scrutinize each revolution by it. self and to judge whether it be or be not morally justifiable.'
 That duty the United States has now assumed When MT. Wilson took steps to inform himself of the facts regarding the Huerta couI detat, with view to passing a moral judgment upon the rightful- ness of the de facto government ir Mexico City, he took. it seems to me the most reaching and fatefu step which the Monroe doctrine has inspired in all the process of its evo-
 lution.
