MOBILIZATION STIRS
SOUTH AMERICANS TO
DISTRUST OF WILSON
Great Mass of the People Fear
President Is Planning for
Territorial Expansion,
Some Critics Say
'REAPING BLOOD HARVEST
BY CHARLES P. STEWART


BUENOS AIRES, Argentine, June 10
News of mobilization of the American
militia stirred intense interest and devel-
oped wide difference of opinion in South
America today.
The great mass of the people in South
America are bitterly hostile toward the
sudden military activity in the United States
and loCl, upon the action of President Will
son with distrust. They fear that the
United States, despite protestations to the
contrary. Is planning territorial expansion
They believe that If the United States does
not actually propose to extend its boundaries
southwark it certainly does propose to at
tempt Il paternal protectorate over Latin
America. Such a protectorate would be
viewed in South America merely as a dis
guIse for the first step toward aggression
The general opinion of the public is ex-
pressed as follows:
Americans in Mexico are now harvesting
the well-deserved result Of their long
meddling and interference in Mexican af-
fairs. They are reaping the harvest of
blood which Is the inevitable fruit of their
political and financial intrigues. Now
these plotters, caught in the net of their
own construction, are calling upon the Gov
ernment at Washington to save them, even
at the cost of a long and terrible war"
In official and aristoCratic circles there
is evidence of a moderately trustful att-
tude toward President Wilson and u mild
SemlDenet IN the Observation-Disclosures or the
United States. The attitude of the aristoc-
racy Is summed up in the following COM
ment by Government official:
, I'VE do not distrust President Wilson,
but our people would be pleased with fresh
guarantees, in stronger terms that there
will be no territorial acquisition in the
event of actual war between the United
States and Mexico"
Intervention and war are considered the
same thing and the situation is causing
open anxiety. The failure of the A, b,
C conferences at Niagara Falls is recalled,
with but slightly concealed doubt of whole
hearted cooperation on the part of the
United States with the Governments of
South America. .-
South American Governments undoubted-
ly will expect a new declaration of pur-
poses from President Wilson in the event
of hostilities.

PHILADELPHIA CONGRESSMAN

Congressman John r. X. Scott said that
President Wilson had adopted the right
course in calling out the militia lie said
that politics must be forgotten at the pres
ent time and that every member OF the
House OF Representatives should stand by
the President.
'I will support President Wilson In the

the response TO the Presidents call would
