Declares the London Globe in
Commenting on Sir Edward
Grey's Course.
oTRER sHEETs sAY AWAIT
Sympathy is with United States
But There is InpatienCe
with Wilson.
e.v As1ee,aTrp .ars.,

LONDON, March 4.-The Mexican
situation and Sir Edward Grey's pro-
nouncement of the views of the
British government in regards to the
liam s. Benton are the subjects OF to-
days comment in newspapers. The
PaIl-Mall Gazette says:
THE temperate and restrained Ian
guage in which Sir Edward Grey re-
fenred to the Mexican murder will
have the approval of all Englishmen.
Its moderation, however, will not dis
guise the depth of their feeling. Pa
thence makes every concession to Sir
Edwards difficulties but IL there is
any danger of that patience being
mistaken for indifference it would in
troduce an element of grave disad-
vantage into international politics.
Every reason of moral and interna-
tional right requires OF the United
tons murderers shall be undertaken
without delay. At the present mo-
ment civilization is Gouted and Great
Britain outraged. The application of
the Monroe doctrine Is paralyzed."
The Globe says:
emphasize the gravity of recent
Nevents and very little to relieve the
disquietude which those events have
provoked. The public opinion of this
country however sympathetic to the
United States will not make consfd-
GRAFTON for the embarrassment of
President Wilson and adequate ex-
cuse for acQuiescing in such deeds as
those of Pancho Villa, with the APP
prevail of Carranza. If President Viii
son cannot be held responsible Tor
the behavior Of Mexican rehcis, his
policy is directly responsible for the
state of things which has 'el to in
toIerable excuses. What the United
States has do1e is not merely to allow
civil war to cyst but to foment ii by
allowing arms and ammunition to be
supplied to the belIigerents. The
United States is bound to exert the
exclusive influence which it claims for
putting an end to things which have
become a danger not merely to the
United States. itself but to the civil
lied world"
Tho Westminster Gazette and the
Evening Standard agree with Sir I'D /.
ward that the only possible policy
is to wait and secure reparation when
circumstances permit it.
