UP TO THE BRITISH.

In the new complication brought
into the Mexican situation by the
murder of the fln~glishman Benton, a
great deal will depend upon the at
titude eventually taken by the
British. Rather delicate questions are
Involved.
Under the Monroe Doctrine, Great
Britain could hardly land troops in
Mexico for the purpose of obtaining
any desired redress, But, If the
United States will. not allow other
powers to obtain satisfaction upon
the American continent by force of
arms, these powers will of curse ex
pect the United States to see that
their interests are not prejudiced.
The exact wording OF that portion
Of the Monroe Doctrine referred to is
as follows:
With the existing colonies or de-
Tendencies OF amy European power
we have not interfered and shall not
Interfere. But with the governments
who have declared their i%ndepend-
iencc and maintain 1t, and whose indie
pendenee we have, on great consider
alton and on just principles, acknow-
lodged, We could not view any inter
position for the purpose OF oppres-
sing then or controlling In any other
manner their destiny by any Euro
spean power, In any other light than
as the manifestation of an unfriendly
disposition toward the United
States"
This means that arms could be IN
ployed by any Epronean power for
redress upon the American continent.
only by the consent of the United
States government, and it is not at
all likely that this would be given be-
aus of the precedent it would
create.
So it will easily be seen that il
Greaty Britain demands that the lives
and property of British subjects in
Mexico be protected from future yio-
lence, the United States will be ex-
pecsedf to assume some responsible
ity for the provision of such protec-
tion. 1T WAS indicated clearly in.
statements yesterday from the British
foreign office that this country will
not be held responsible by Great
Britain for Benton's death. But that
does not meal that Great Britain
cannot insist that order be enforced
In Mexico, at least to the extent of
safeguarding the lives and property
of British subjects. If the temper of
the British people is aroused as in
dlcated by some of the newspaper ex.
pressions published yesterday, this
would be the natural course for the
British foreign office to take. There.
fore, assuming that the Washington
administration is still loathe to in
@terfeie in the Mexican wrangle, the
immediate question of Intervention is
largely up TO the British for deter
mination.
