WILSON'S POLICY AS TT
APPEARS TO A MEXICAN
New York, Oct T. Manuel Calero

of Mexico's public men, an orator
statesman and writer He has held
several important public offices in

the cabinet of President De La Barra
He was secretary of foreign relations
of Mexico in the cabinet of the Ill

Mexican ambassador to the United
States when Taft was president.
Mr.. Calero has just written book
under the title of The Mexican
Policy of President Woodrow Wilson
as it appears to a Mexican" 1t is an
Illuminating presentation of the
Mexican policy of the present demo
cratic administration, showing the
effect of that policy upon the MeXi'
can people and the complications
and responsibilities that 1t has Great
ed for the United States.
Here is a synopsis of this force

Chapter l explains the fall OF
President Madero and the rise oi
General Huerta to power. 1t dispels

which was an illegal act Of inter

chapter III describes what the
author very accurately calls Th'
Duel between President Wilson an(
Huerta." Referring to the inclden

nretext to enable Mr.. Wilson to use
force against Huerta in order Il
overthrow him and shows how th'
Wilson administration has tolerated
with great meekness, "real" offense'
to the flag. This chapter also des
cribes the most astounding series o
interventionary acts executed D!
President Wilson with the sole pur
nose of creating in Mexico a govern
