by the Presidents friends that his ac-
ton in finally appealing for funds for
Red Cross relief in Mexico will be GER
tain to revive and intensity criticism
of the Administrators Mexican policy.
Throughout the world and probably by
a majority OF the people In this coun-
try the United States is held partly re-
sponsible for the conditions that exist
in Mexico to-day.
Hope for IutePventioa.
In some quarters here the P~rssident's
appeal, together with his forthcoming
announcement, 10 being gladly hailed IN
the belief tina the w will lead to
ultimate intervention In Mexico and q
restoration Of peaceful conditions.
Others, however. doubt the wisdom OF
embarking on q new and admittedly
uncertain course In Mexico at a time
when the nation considers itself to be
facing the danger Of serious trouble
with Germany.
The appeal for funds for the Red
Cross came rs something OF a surprise
to-day. Before there was time. how
ever. for the full significance OF the
Presidents action to be realized 1t was
followed by this statement, issued at the
White House:
Wnen tie fTeSllSUt = hppSdi uiu
for the Mexicans was Issued II was
also stated at the Executive ONCE that
a statement from the President on the
present situation in Mexico might be
expected within the next few days,
The purpose OF this statement 10 un-
derstood to be twofold: First, to satisfy
the country that the policy Of drifting
in Mexico In not to be continued In
definitely and. second. to give the fac
tons In Mexico a last opportunity to
take such action as is most likely to re-
store law. order and government In
Mexico.
In the coming statement the Admin
istration will. II Is understood. describe
conditions In Mexico as intolerable. EN-
phasis will be laid upon the patience
and long suffering restraint with which
the United States has dealt with the
Mexican problem. in the face OF not only
great p~rovocation but great pressure for
drastic action.
II IL thought that the action Of the
Red Cross In sending quantities OF re-
lief supplies INTO Mexico may prove 70
be the Issue upon which the course of
the Administration In Mexico will turn.
Tho Presidents coming statement un-
doubtedly will be In the nature calcu-
lated to impress the Mexican leaders
with the a~dvisability OF permitting the
unrestricted entry Of relief supplies and
cooperation In the Red Gross EFFORTS TO
relieve the distress OF suffering non
combatants.
