WASHINGTON. Sept. Latin
American diplomats are amazed at the

fuse to extend the hand Of welcome
to any one who obtains power in a
sister republic by treachery and vio-
lence."
This is the presidents explanation
OF his refusal to recognize Huerta and
of his Mexican policy. Yet the records
show that President Wilson has DELHI
erately violated this dictum in several
instances since the case of Huerta
arose.
The most fragrant example was the
presidents recognition extended to

More fragrant Than Mexico.

Minister Mcmillan reported these
facts fully to Washington and assumed
that this government would decline to
sanction the newly established regime.
The case was identical with the Huerta
case in Mexico, except a much more
fragrant violation of the spirit of pop
ular government. Huerta had Madero
and Vice President Suarez imprisoned,
but he became president of Mexico
under provisions of the constitution
providing for the succession of the
minister of foreign affairs upon the
disability of the president. Huerta's
accession to the presidency was con-
tirmed by the Mexican Congress.
Benavides came into power simply
by killing of those who opposed him.
His acts had no basis whatever in the
constitution Of the country and were
not confirmed by the Peruvian Con-
gress. His sole backing was a junta
of conspirators which forced their will
on the unapproving people by means
of ready rife bullets. Under these
circumstances Minister Mcmillan
naturally assumed that President Will
son would have nothing to do with
Benavides and his junta. The presi-
