Tells Big Gathering at Detroit That lie Will Serve All Americans by Try ing to Serve Mexico Herself Instead of ~tnterests"-How to Win Business. President Wilson reiterated his non- Intervention Mexican policy and aroused enthusiasm among the Worlds Halesmanship congress members at Detroit by urging that business men carry justice and fair dealing into the ports of the world, particularly those of Mexico, and thereby establish con- 6dence in American principles. His efforts, he declared, will be to serve RH America by serving Mexico herself for her best interests without using force, and not to serve the few ''gen- E1emen" who wish to exploit Mexican Possessions.
 When the president asked the crowd what it desired at the end of all the present world troubles it shouted Peace" in one voice, and then he add ed that his wish was permanent peace'
 "I hear some men say" he said, ''that they want to help Mexico and the way they propose to help her is to over whelm her with force That is the wrong way as well as the long way"
 "After fighting them you would have n nation full of justified suspicion. Thus you would not help them. You would shut every door against you. Why Mexico Is Suspicious.
 "What makes Mexico suspicious is that she thinks we do not want to serve, but possess her. And she has 5ustificatio for these suspicious in the way some gentlemen have sought to exploit her possessions. I will not serve these gentlemen, but will serve all Americans by trying to serve Mex kco herself The way to establish our sovereignty is to respect hers.'
 The president added that he believed In the old Virginia bill of rights, which declared that a country may do as 1t pIeases with it's own gait.
 This information, the president said, was for those gentlemen who would Abutt in"
 The president declared that the mer- chant marine, which some are so slow tn giving us," will be a great help 10 the business interests of the United States. In order to gain foreign busi- ness, however, he added, it will be necessary for American business men to adapt the goods to the demands of other countries and not try to force their own ideas on other markets. 6aIesmenship, he said, would go hand iu, hand with statesmanship after the close of the war.
 -@These are days of incalculable change he added. Tt is impossible for anybody to predict anything that is certain in detail with regard to the fu- tnre of either this country or of the world in the larger movements of busi- ness One thing is perfectly clear, and that is that the United States will play n new part and that it will be part of unprecedented opportunity and greatly Increased responsibilities
 Humidity must be cast aside by those nNfao seek the world trade, the execu- tive. asserted, and knowledge of con- liition of business and conditions '4throughout the round globe'' will be essential to success.
 Lift Eyes to Horizon.
 S'No amount of mere push, no amount of mere hustling or, to speak in the western language, no amount of mere xtrstling no amount of mere active en terprise, will suffice" he declared, land Inter, in the relationship of nations with each other, many of our antago nisms are based on misunderstanding and as long as you do not understand { country you cannot trade with it.
 "Lift up your eyes to the horizons o business DO not look too closely a the little processes with which you ar concerned, but let your thoughts ant your imaginations run abroad through out the whole world and with inspira fion of the thought that you are Amer Scans and are meant to carry libert. and justice and the principles of hu Manity wherever you go; go olt and se goods that will make the world nor comfortable and more happy and COT vert them to the principles of America.
