STRONG AND STABLE LANDS OF
"A. 3. C. ALLIANCE"

The mythical A. b. C. alliance OF
Argentina. Brazil and Chill may be
cited as an evidence OF concerted
friendship and harmonious co-opera-
ton. IL is painful TO destroy an illu-
sion. but the facts are otherwise. The
so-called A. b. c. powers. the strong
and stable" countries, acquiesce in the
Washington policy OF eliminating
Huerta. but each does so for reasons
Of it's own. Each wants the United
states TO feel that it is our friend in
this Mexican muddle. and each wants
some token that the value Of its friend
ship is appreciated.
Back OF policy OF these South
American governments in following the
United States is something OF deep sig
nificance. It Is too vague and ,indefi-
mite to be stated positively. yet 1t has
seemed to me that the common M
pulse which is moving them is the
recognition OF the paramount influence
OF the United States as against Eu-
rope. When the statement is openly
made, which is seldom. usually IL IS
coupled with the qualification that the
United States must cept the respon-
sibility OF safeguarding European in
terests in Mexico. II Europe il not "a

WAITING POLICY HAS FORFEITED
SYMPATHY.

Allowing for this state Of mind, II
also has TO be said that the action of
the administration at Washington in
announcing its intention 10 estapllsh
Dopular government in Mexico was
greatly weakened in effect by the faii-
ure 10 take decisive action at the
psvchological moment When Huerta
dissolved thu Mexican Congress be-
cause il was not subservient TO his
purposes and imprisoned the Deputies,
II the United States had stepped in and
completed its policy Of eliminating him
this would have been understood ana
would have secured some measure OF
sympathy and support in the Soutn
American countries where the con-
crosses are frequently at odds with the
executives.
From the somewhat flamboyant tone
of the Official communications delivered
10 them in explanation Of the attitude
Of the Washington administration. the
different governments were under the
impression that the ultimatum had
been issued TO Huerta which would he
hacked Up. and his forcible dissolution
OF the Mexican Congress seemed to be
the opportune occasion for enforcing
lii. The same impression had per-
meated the general public. When moth
/ ing was done confidence in the ability
of the United States 10 handle the
/ Mexican situation began 10 dwindle,
and ever since then 1t has continued TO
dwindle. The governments and the
South American public were better pre-
pared for positive action on the part OF
the United States than they VIII be
again. The failure 10 act was inter
preted as weakness on the part II
washington and uncertainty Of its own
/ pOsitiOn.

THE VIEWS OF THE YANKEES"
ON THE MATTER.

One class OF men whose views deserve
consideration have yet TO be described.
not on account OF their influence on
South American sentiment, but because
Of their knowledge Of it. These are the
yankees" or North American busi-
ness men. Many Of them were in Mex
leo before they came TO South Amer
lea. and knew conditions under Diaz.
Others were there during the Madero
regime or the early part of Huerta's
control.
A group of these Americans, wher-
ever they meet, are sure to indulge IN
an animated discussion OF the f-exifan
situation. Those who have not been N
Mexico in recent years are usually nn-
qualified champions of the Diaz rule.
Those who were there later are mora
qualified in their praise and inclined
TO make comparisons as 10 whether
corruption and graft were more pro-
nounced in the circle that surrounded
Diaz in the last years of his power
than with the Madero group, or than
with Huerta's favortes.
These comparisons are not impor-
tant. The opinions Of these men on
the effect on South America Of our pol
lev in Mexico are what is worth con-
siderin-.

; be allowed to join in restoring order
there.
South American mediation or inter-
vention Jointly with the United States
does not meet with favor in the coun-
tries which would be asked to co-oo-
crate should such plan be adopted.
The suggestion is accepted as a COM
plimtnt to be respectfully declined.
II may be surmised that these coun-
tries would prefer to be in position TO
fill the role Of critics rather than TO
share in grave international RESPONSE
bilities. That there will be faultflnd-
ing and criticism Of the United States
is undoubted-they already abound
but il is unjust 10 one and all the coun-
tries in question to assume that so
petty a motive influences the general
sentiment against taking a hand with
tie United States in Mexico. There are
deeper reasons They want TO keep
out of an international imbroglio in or
der to be free to follow their own ma
tional policies.
In Chill the feeling against mixing IN
is so strong that when during Colonel
Roosevelts visit persistent rumors
were in circulation that he was there as
IAN agent Of mediation" an official de-
nal was put forth that the government
was favorable TO mediation. This con-
firmed what a CHILEAN public man had
said IN mo we do not care To become

THINK BUSINESS is NOT IN

During the last four months I have
talked with perhaps hundred North
Americans. Generally the horizon OF
the business man in international al
fairs IS not a wide one, and he Is aps

considerations. Little Of this tendency
is noted among these men. There 10 Q
surprising unanimity Of statement that
North American business in South
America is able to take care OF itself.
IL is assumed that in the event OF the
United States intervening actively to
eliminate Huerta there will be a con-
certed effort to create a prejudice
against American goods, which may be
partially successful temporarily. AL
most without exception they are ready
10 meet this prospect. What concerns
them much more is the evidences they
see Of the waning prestige Of the
United States.

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO ARE
OF THE SLIGHTEST.

South America has little direct con-
rrn with Mexico. There is no geo.
rsphical relation ~ propinquty.
r-s6g relations are 81 slight cons"-
ousnce. since there is little basis fer
the interchange Of products. No such
thing exists as investments by the citi-
ism Of Argentina, Chilli or Brazil, and
these countries have rot a handful cf
their people in Mexico so the protec-
ton Of lives and property has no ap-
p.ies,ion 10 them Jew Of the South
American countries have maintained a

Washington has been accredited also

JUDGMENT USUALLY BASED ON
REAL THOUGHT.

Comment on this phase Of the sub
iect while occasionally hippant is rarely
superficial. Much Of it is deeply ana
Ntic. In some Of these countries a
large proportion Of the inhabitants are
Of the Indian races as in Mexico.
Others. such as Argentina. are com
paratively free from Indian racial
mixture. But all Of them have had ex-
perience in molding raw material into
popular government, and few of their
leading men believe that the present
generation is going TO see popular gov
eminent in Mexico. and they say what
they believe.
The substance Of the comment Of this
class is that for the United States to
intervene in order 10 end anarchy in
Mexico. to protect the lives and prop
erty Of its citizens there and 10 assume
responsibility for protecting the lives
and property Of citizens of other coun-
tries is something that can be under
stood. but why the United States
should undertake 10 go beyond that is
beyond their comprehension. Some Of
, these countries have achieved much or
their progress under dictators who were
statesmen. but most Of them have gone
forward under oligarchies and are now
experimenting to republican institu-
tons The most marked feature OF the
political system Of most Of them is linn
itation Of the executive power and jeal-
Gus watchfulness Of executive usurpa-
ton. Consequently, there cannot be
said to he any friendly disposition
toward dictators. even in Mexico.

based on popular institutions. To put
il plainly, ! have found no one in South
America. whether friendly or I'M
friendly to the United States, who has
faith in such a programme, though 1t is
a satisfaction to note that even the un-
friendly critics do not question the
Presidents motives. Everywhere he is
given credit for high aspirations. 1t Is
his judgment and his knowledge OF
Mexico and Mexican conditions that
are questioned.
