SOUTH AMERICA
O|STRUSTS U. S,

Buenos Ayres. Argentine. June 49,.
News, OF tho mobilization OF the
American militia stirred interest and
developed wide difference OF opin-
Ion In South America today. The
great mass OF the people In South
America are bitterly hostile toward
the sudden military activity In the
tinted states and look on the action
OF President Wilson with distrust.
They fear that the United States, de-
spiic the protestations 10 the con-
ltrary. Is planning territorial expan-
sion. They believe that II the United
States does not actually propose TO
extend its boundaries southwark, Il
certainly does propose to attempt a
paternal protectorate over Latin
America. Such protectorate would
be regarded In South America az a
disguise for the nrst step toward az.
gression.
The general opinion Of the public
is expressed as follows;
Americans In Mexico are now har.
lyestlng the we'll deserved result Of
,heIr long meddling and Interference
I'm Mexican affairs. They are reaping
the harvest OF blood which Ia the In
Ieyltsble fruit OF their political and
financial intrigues. Now these plot
tiers. caught In the net OF their own
construction. are calling upon the
Igovernment At Washington to save
them. even at the cost Of long and
terrible war"
I That public sentiment Is soiidly
with the Mexicans can not be
doubted.
In oaicial and arlstocratic circles
there Ia evidence Of a moderately
ltrustful attitude toward President
Wilson and a mild semi-disbelIef In
1.-THE dlsInterestedness OF the United
States.
The attitude OF the aristocracy Is
summed up In the following comment
by a government Official
I'VE do not distrust President VIII
son. but our people would be pleased
with fresh guarantees, In stronger
terms, that there will be no terri
torial acquisition. In the event Of
actual war between the United States
and Mexico"
/ Intervention and war are consld-
cred the same thing and the situa-
tion "a causing open anxiety. The
failure OF the A. d. g. conference at
niagara Falls was recalled with but
slightly concealed doubt OF whole
hearted cooperation on the part Of
the United States with the govern
ments OF South America.
South American governments
doubtless VIII expect new declara-
tion from President Wilson In case
OF hostilities.
