Washington. Dec. 30.-The rebellion

This marked distinct and radical
change in Americas traditional pol

State Hughes made it emphatic that
the United States is vitality interested
in the success of the constitutional
government of Mexico and will frown
upon this or any subsequent attempt
to supplant orderly election with re-
bellion.
1t completely reverses a policy enun-
ciated by the late President Harding
TO prevent American arms going to
foreign countries, and at the same
time makes it plain that the United
States intends to exert every influence
to make the recognition of Mexico
permanent and the relations cordial.

Americas relations with the rest of

which the highest officials of the
United States government believe
must prove OF inestimable advantage
N the reconstruction era. They are
satisfied that substantial progress has
! been made in the realm of diplomacy
in the last few months to warrant the
assertion that America hasn't a single
enemy, but a good many friends.
Surveying the entire situation, the
removal of many disputes in the
western hemisphere has been delib-
erately sought so that America could
furnish an example to the rest of the
world of neighborliness and fair deal
ing. The league of American states
| was not urged as FORMAL institution,
| but the pan American policy of the
Harding administration is just now
reaching the most important point
| in its development. The signing in

European nation-probably Great Brit

understood here that they had al

| When the mission was sent, Argen-
tina looked upon 1t as a means OF
strengthening the Brazilian navy, and
naturally since Brazil and Argentina

liked in Argentina. The United
States government has done every
thing in Its power to correct the mis-
understanding; in fact. If Argentina
wanted a naval mission America
would be In duty bound to send one
