State Philander C. Knox is said to have

During the troubles that followed
the end of the DiaZ dictatorship in
Mexico, when presidents We're changed
frequently and violently there was
one particularly tense period when it
appeared that the United States might
intervene. The state department was
receiving hourly bulletins on condi-
tions in Mexico from the. Mexico City
embassy, which, in turn, was kept
constantly informed by American con-
suls and other American representa-
tives. The Mexican embassy here re-
ceived summaries from the Mexican
foreign office every "a hours.
The American version grew daily
more serious and the Mexican version
daily more optmistically divergent.
Finally, one warm morning as the
Mexican diplomat came to tell Knox
the latest summary of developments
Knox blew up.

ished Mexican, waving his own reports

Knox said much more. 1t wasn't

effective. The ambassador left for
home almost Immediately. What" he
asked the existing Mexican government
and the Mexican people, "can you do
