friends or enemies, as the case may be. they will refuse to trade with us. Eight Hour Law Its Own Answer. MT. Wilson believes there is no fur ther reason to defend the Eight Hour Law, and, unless emergency makes it necessary, he will have nothing fur ther to say concerning it. MT. Hughes, the President believes, has uttered no vital criticism of the law, and, in fact, MT. Wilson is content to accept the issues raised by MT. Hughes and permit the law itself to be sufficient answer to his opponents attacks.
 In his speech tomorrow before the Young Mems League of Democratic Clubs, who will come to Shadow Lawn 1,500 strong, MT. Wilson will discuss for the first time what he Believes to be the real issues of the campaign, upon which, he feels, the young vot- CTS of the country should have req sons for joining the Democratic par ty.
 This element of the electorate the President believes will be more great ly represented in the coming election than ever before. The independent vote, the thinking men of the country, whom MT. Wilson believes are con- versant with the vital issues at stake, will be the deciding factor in the cleo ton, he thinks. As to the outcome of the election the President makes no prediction, saying too many uncer- tain elements make even accurate in formation impossible.
 It was announced here today that John M. Parker, vice presidential nominee of the Progressive party, has offered to speak in New York, New Jersey and, Ohio against the candi- dacy of MT. Hughes and in support of MT. Wilson.

tary or. the lnterlOr.)
 Those who are familiar with the feeling of the South and Central American countries toward the Unit ed States know that just at the time when our forces occupied Vera Cruz, very intense fear had seized upon Latin America. They believed in their hearts that we were on our march southward and that the Presi- dents Mobile speech and other gener- ous utterances of the same sort were taken in a Pickwickian sense.
 We had sought to bring to our sym pathetic support all of the South American countries They also were anxious for a settlement of this trou- ble upon some basis that would safe- guard the interests of Mexico and con- serve that unity which is the soul of the great Pan-American movement. Some of them thought that they saw a greedy hand from the North reach ing down with no benevolent purpose, and if it had laid hold upon Mexico none of them knew but that it might be their turn next.
 This fear of the big brother is a very real one in Latin America. They think of the Mexican war of 1846 as an unjustifable aggression on our part; they think of the Panama incl dent as a robbery; they misconst-ue our purpose in Santo Domingo, and in Nicaragua, and they do not trust us. They fear that the spirit of imperial ism is upon the American people and that the Monroe Doctrine may be construed one day as a doctrine that IL l.. 1- To- f- phere to the United States; that it is a doctrine of selfishness and not a doctrine of altruism.
 When they presented a plan of me- diation, the United States had no choice but to accept it. Indeed. if we had refused to accept it Latin America would have been justified in doubt ing our good faith. No one that l am aware of, either Republican or Democrat, has ever criticized the President for accepting the mediation of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, and abiding strictly by the agreement reached at Niagafa Falls. c.
 By the protocols there signed on June 23, 1914, the United States agreed that the selection of a Pro- visional and a Constitutional President be left wholly to the Mexicans, and we guaranteed our recognition of them when chosen. This made clear our desire not to interfere in any way in the settlement of Mexico's domsstic troubles, and as further proof of our disinterested friendship for the Mex ican people the United States agreed not to claim any war indemnity or other international satisfaction from Mexico. We had gone to Vera Cruz ito serve mankind" Our only quar- rel was with Huerta, and Huerta got out on July 16, 1914. Our forces were withdrawn from Vera Cruz on November 23, following.
 Three days after Huerta left Mexico, Villa began levying taxes upon his own authority, and it was plain that the successful revolutionists. would soon be fighting between themselves. Both Carranza and Villa agreed to at Aguasecalientes. and 1t was stipulated that no soldiers were to be there; but Villa turned up with an armed force that terrorized the con- vention and prevented 1t from recog- nizing Carranza, and in a short time open warfare began between the two
