PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
MESSAGE TO MEXICANS

Washington, June IL President VIII
sons address here last Friday 10 "A party
of Mexican newspaper editors, which
never has been given ont for publication
in the United States, IS expected to be
recognized as one of his most important
war utterances.
1t dealt almost wholly with Pan
Americanism by agreement among the
Pan-.tmericans, and 1t was obvious the
President took the opportunity to send
back to the Mexican people through 90
or more representative newspaper editors
a personal message to emphasize the dis
interestedness of the United States in all
its part of the fight for world democracy.
Ii was the Presidents wish that his
speech, inasmuch as it practically was
addressed to the Mexican people, should
be published in Mexico first To that end
no copies were given out for publication
in this country, although it was sent at
the same time to the embassies and
legations abroad, where il seems to have
been given to foreign newspapers because
editorial comments were coming In over
the news cables today.
The address was printed IN Mexico
City Yesterday morning, and II was the
intention of officials IN charge of the
matter today not to give II out for pub
LEGATION in American newspapers, but t.
let it come back TO the United States
from Mexico 1t was said that this de
eision had been reached on the President
wishes.
