Washington, June 4.-President VIII
son on Wednesday served warning on
the leaders of the various factions In
Mexico ito act together and to act
promptly for the relief and redemp-
ton of their PROSTATE country or
the United States will be constrained
to decide what means should be en-
ployed in order to help Mexico save
herself and serve her people"
The presidents statement is ad.
dressed to the American people.
For more than two years revolu-'
tionary conditions have existed In
Mexico. The purpose Of the revolu-
ton was to rid Mexico of men who
ignored the constitution of the repub--
lie and used their powers in contempt
of the rights of it's people; and with
these purposes the president of the
United States instinctively and gener--
ously sympathized. But the leaders
of the revolution, in the very hour
Of their success, have disagreed and
turned their arms against one anoth--
err All protesting the same Objects.
they are nevertheless unable or I'M
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner
set up than it is undermined and It's
authority denied by those who were
expected to support it.
In these circumstances the presi-
dent and government of the United
States cannot stand indifferently by
and do nothing to serve their neigh
Dor. They want nothing for them
selves in Mexico. Least of all do they
desire to settle her affairs for her or
claim any right to do SO. But neither
do they wish to see utter ruin come
upon her and they deem it their duty
as friends and neighbors to lend any
aid they properly can to any instru--
mentality which promises to be effec-
tive in bringing about settlement.
which will embody the real objects Of
the evolution-constitutio govern
ment and the rights of the people.
ct is time therefore that the gov
frankly state the policy which in these
extraordinary circumstances 1t be-
comes its duty to adopt. 1t must pres
emily do what it has not hitherto done,-
or felt at liberty to do, lend its active
moral support to some man or group
of men, If such may be found who can
rally the suffering people Of Mexico
to their support in an effort to ig
more, If they cannot unite, the warning
factions of the country, return to the
constitution of the republic so long in
allegiance and set up government at.
Mexico City which the great powers.
of the world can recognize and deal
with, government with whom the
program Of the revolution will be a.
business and not merely platform.
therefore, publicly and very solemnly
call upon the leaders of factions in
Mexico to act together and to act
promptly for the relief and redemp-
ton of their PROSTATE country. feel
it to be my duty to tell them that, If
they cannot accommodate their differ
ences and unite with this great pur-.
pose within very short time this
government will be constrained to de-
eide what means should be employed
by the United States in order to help
Mexico save herself and serve her"
