to Hit at Wilson.


ate at the eleventh hour and true 10
its policy Of embarrassing the presi-
dent OF the United States in every
possible way in his dealing with for,
eign countries. is now preparing TO
utilize the grievances Of such Mexi-
can chieftains as have been angered
at Woodrow Wilson's firm stand for
law. order and justice
The publicity bureau released
for publication for Monday morning.
an article which is 10 appear in the
Outlook Of Nov. I, that contains in
terviews given by First Chief Car
rama. Gen. Obregon. Gen. l. Con
zales, and secretary Of foreign rela-
ton. in which all four are reported
TO have made specific attacks upon
the president OF the United States.
Here Are Kicks.
Wilson has not kept faith with
Mexico is the declaration Of Car
rama
Wilson'S policy has made Mexico
feel like a man at whom is pointed
a loaded and cooked pistol" is the
complaint Of Aguilar.
Il can say. however. that in case
the imperialistic reputation Of the
republican party should be con-
firmed. / would prefer frank ag-
gression from Mr.. Hughes TO the
doubtful friendship of Mr.. Wilson"
Is the statement credited 10 Gen.
Gonzales.
These populations Of Pres't Will
son are interpreted by the repub-
leans as proving the failure Of the
Wilson policy Of fair and helpful
dealing towards Mexico. They will
be played up as showing that the
Mexican leaders are without conf
dence in his honesty and good faith.
Pershing Is Real Thorn.
What they viii not emphasize,
however, is that in each case the al
legged bitterness OF Carranza, Obre-
gon. Gonzales and Aguilar proceeds
from the fact that the president Of
the United States dared 70 send Gen.
Pershing's expedition into Mexico to
punish Villa for his murderous raids
into American territory and upon
American citizens.
BY giving official publication to
these attacks, passing them through
the publicity bureau, the republi-
can national committee goes upon
record in fiat opposition 70 the Will
son policy Of protecting the Amer
lean border until such a time as the
Carranza government is able to
guarantee this protection. II again
stands as the champion Of a for
eign power. in controversy with the
United States.
Good Wilson Literature.
It remains to be seen whether the
republican committee. however, will
have the honesty TO publish the in
terviews in their entirity. Take
away the bitter attacks that the
four Mexican leaders base upon the
Pershing expedition. and the article
might we'll serve as Wilson cam
paign literature.
Among the finest things that any
American president has ever done, ="
Carranza admits in the course Of
his interview, was wilson's refusal
70 tolerate the tyrant Huerta. II
was such a noble act as one would
expect from an emancipated and
democratic people and il was an
inspiration TO all Latin-American
republics"
THE Mexican people," says Agui-
lar, ARE grateful TO Pres't Wilson
for understanding. as Pres't Taft
did not, that the revolution in Next
co is a genuine social movement.
They are grateful TO Wilson for his
intelligence and his courage in re-
fusing 70 recognize Huerta."
Gonzales Not Authority.
AS for the belligerent statement
of Gen. Gonzales that ne preferred
Hughes and war. the correspondent
asked Carranza directly if the re-
marks could 'be considered as OFF,
cial."
NO" was the reply. Gen. Con
zales remarks were very interest
ing, but he spoke only for himself"
1t also remains to, be seen wheth-
er the press matter released for
Monday by the republican national,
committee will contain these plain
statements of fact from the First
Chief Carranza.
''In 1913 after my refusal TO re-
cognize Huerta. following his foul
murder of Madero I got a message
from Henry Lane Wilson who was
then ambassador Of the United State
then amt assador OF the United
States TO Mexico. In this message
Ambassador Wilson urged me TO
abandon my revolution and recog-
Eize Huerta saying that the United
States and all European powers
lad recognized him and that it
would be idle for me 10 revolt This
of course, we now know TO be false.
