FURTHER PATIENCE
President's Message on Mexi
co Declares Strict Neirtral
. ity Will Continue.
EXPRESS WARMING GIVEN
Americans Advised to Leave Country
but Those in Authority Are to
Be Held Strictly to Ac
count for Safety.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27. President
Wilson appeared In peron before Con
press today to reaa bis expected mes
sage on affairs In Mexico. The message
was as follows:
"It Is clearly my duty to lay before
you very fully and without reserva
tlon the facts concerning; our present
relations with the republic of Mexico.
The deplorable posture of affairs in
Mexico I need not describe, but I deem
it my duty to speak very frankly of
what this Government has done and
should seek to do In fulfillment of Us
obligation to Mexico herself, as a
friend and neighbor, and to American
citizens whose lives and vital interests
are dairy affected by the distressing
conditions which now obtain beyond
our Southern border.
Friendship Is Disinterested.
"Those conditions touch us very
nearly. Not merely because they He
at our very doors. That, of course,
makes us more vividly and more con
stantly conscious of them, and every
instinct of neighborly interest and
sympathy is aroused and quickened by
them. But that Is only one element
in the determination of our duty. We
are glad to call ourselves the friends
of Mexico, and we shall, I hope, have
many an occasion. In happier times as
well as in these days of trouble and
confusion, to show that our friendship
is genuine and disinterested, capable
of sacrifice and every generous manl
t Xestatlon. The peace, prosperity and
contentment of Mexico mean more,
much more, to us than merely an en
larged field tor our commerce and en
terprise. They mean an enlargement
of the field of self-government and
the realization of the hopes and rights
of a nation with whose best aspira
tions, so long suppressed and disap
pointed, we deeply .sympathize. We
shall yet prove to the Mexican people
that we know how to serve them with
out first thinking how we shall serve
ourselves.
"But we are not the only friends ot
Mexico. The whole world desires ber
peace and progress; and the whole
world is Interested as never before.
Mexico lies at last where all the world
looks on. Central America is about to
be touched by the great routes of 'the
world's trade and Intercourse running
free from ocean to ocean at the istn
mus. The future bas much In store
tor Mexico, as for all the states ot
Central America; but the best gifts
can come to her only if she be ready
and free to receive them and to enjoy
them honorably. America in particu
lar America north and south and on
both continents waits on the develop
ment of Mexico, and that development
can be sound and lasting, only if it be
the product of a genuine freedom, a
just and orderly government, founded
on law. Only so can It be peaceful or
fruitful of the benefits of peace. Mex
ico has a great and enviable future be
fore her. if only she choose and attain
the paths of honest constitutional gov
ernment. Peace Sot Now la Sight.
"The present circumstances of the
republic, I deeply regret to say, do not
seem to promise even the foundations
of such a peace. We have waited many
months, months full of peril and anx
iety, (or the conditions there to im
prove, and they have not Improved.
They have grown worse, rather. The
territory in some sort controlled by the
provisional authorities at Mexico City
has grown smaller, not larger. The
prospect of the pacification of the
country, even by arms, has seemed to
grow more and more remote, and Its
pacification by the authorities at the
capital is evidently impossible by any
other means than force. Difficulties
more and more entangle those who
claim to constitute the legitimate gov
ernment of the republic They have not
made good their claim in fact. Their
successes in the field have proved only
temporary. War and disorder, devasta
tion and confusion, seem to threaten to
become the settled fortune of the dis
tracted country. As friends wo could
wait no longer for a solution which
every week seemed further away. It
was our duty at least to volunteer our
good offices to offer to assist, if we
might, in effecting some arrangement
which would bring relief and peace
and set up a universally acknowledged
political authority there.
Dad's Instructions Outlined.
"Accordingly,' I took the liberty of
sending the Honorable John Lind, for
merly Governor of Minnesota, as my
personal spokesman and representative
to the city of Mexico, with the follow
ing instructions:
" "Press very earnestly on the atten
tion of those who are now exercising
authority or wielding Influence In Mex
ico the following considerations and
advice:
"The Government of the United
States does not feel at liberty any
longer to stand Inactively by while it
becomes daily more and more evident
that no real progress Is being made
toward the establishment of a govern
ment at the city of Mexico, which the
country will obey and respect.
" "The Government of the United
States does not stand In the same case
with the other great governments of
the world in respect to what is hap
pening or wha't is likely to happen In
Mexico. We offer our good offices, not
only because of our genuine desire to
play the part of a friend, but also be
cause we are expected by the powers
of the world to act as Mexico's nearest
friend.
" "We wish to act In these circum
stances in the spirit ot the most ear
nest and dlstinterested friendship. It Is
our purpose in whatever we do or pro
pose in this perplexing and distressing
situation not only to pay the most
scrupulous regard to the sovereignty
and independence ot Mexico that we
take as a matter of course to which we
are bound by every obligation of right
and honor but also to give every pos
sible evidence that we act In the in
terest of Mexico alone, and not in the
Interest of any person or body of per
sons who may have personal or prop
erty claims In Mexico which they may
feel that they have the right to press.
We are seeking to counsel Mexico for
ber own good and In the interest of
her own peace, and not for any other
purpose whatever. The Government of
the United States would deem Itself dis
credited if It had any selfish or ulterior
purpose in transactions where the
peace, happiness and prosperity of a
whole people are Involved. It Is acting
ss its friendship for Mexico, not as any
selfish Interest, dictates.
Settlement Conditions Suggested.
The present situation In Mexico Is
incompatible with the fulfillment of
International obligations on the part

PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT HILHTA,
of Mexico, with the civilized develop
ment of Mexico itself and with the
maintenance of tolerable political and
economic conditions in Central Amer
ica. It is' upon no common occasion,
therefore, that the United States offers
her counsel and assistance. All Amer
ica cries out for a settlement.
"A satisfactry settlement seems to
us to be conditioned on
" '(a) An immediate cessation of
fighting throughout Mexico, a definite
armistice solemnly entered into and
scrupulously observed;
'(b) Security given tor an early and
free election in which all will agree
to take part;
" (c) The consent of General Huerta
to bind himself not to be a candidate
for election aa President of the Re
public at this election; and
"(d) The agreement of all parties
to abide by the results of the election
and co-operate in the most loyal way
in organising and supporting the new
administration.
The Government of the United
States will be glad to play any part
In this settlement or In its carrying
out which it can play honorably and
consistently with International right.
It pledges Itself to recognise and In
every way possible and proper to as
sist the administration chosen and set
up In Mexico in the way and on the
conditions suggested.
Bllsaton Taetfnlly Exeewted.
"Taking all the existing conditions
Into consideration, the government ot
the United States can conceive of no
reasons sufficient to justify thos who
are now attempting to shape" the policy
or exercise the authority of Mexico
in declining the offices of friendship
thus offered. Can Mexico give the civ
ilized world a satisfactory reason for
rejecting our good offices? If Mexico
can suggest any better way In whtck
to show our friendship, serve the peo
ple of Mexico and meet our Interna
tional obligations, we are more than
willing to consider the suggestion.'
Mr. Land executed his delicate and
difficult mission with singular tact,
firmness and good judgment, and made
clear to the authorities at the City of
Mexico not only the purpose of bis
visit, but also the spirit In which it
had been undertaken. But the pro
posals he submitted were rejected, in
a note the full text of which I take
the liberty of laying before you.
"I am led to believe that they were
rejected partly because the authorities
at Mexico City had been grossly misin
formed and misled on two points. They
did not realize the spirit of the Ameri
can people in this matter, their ear
nest friendliness and yet sober deter
mination for some just solution for
the Mexican difficulties, and they did
not believe that the present adminis
tration spoke, through Mr. Lind, for
the people of the United States."
President Counsels Patience.
'The effect of this unfortunate mis
understanding on their part Is to leave
them singularly Isolated and without
friends who can effectually aid them.
So long as the misunderstanding con
tinues, we can only await the time of
their awakening to a realization ot the
actual facts. We cannot thrust our
good offices upon them; the situation
must be given a little more time to
work Itself out In the new circum
stances, and I believe that only a little
while will be necessary. For the cir
cumstances are new. The rejection of
our friendship makes them new and
will inevitably bring Its own alterna
tions In the whole aspect of affairs.
The actual situation of the authorities
at Mexico City will presently be re
vealed. "Meanwhile, what is It our duty to
doT Clearly, everything that we do
must be rooted in patience and done
with calm and disinterested delibera
tion. Impatience on our part would be
childish and would be fraught with
every risk of wrong and folly. We can
afford to exercise the self-restraint of
a really great nation, which realises
LEADING FEATURES OF PRESIDENT "WILSON'S MESSAGE
ON SITUATION IN MEXICO..
President Wilson In bis message on the Mexican situation makes
it clear he does not contemplate armed intervention
He speaks of the obligation of the United States as a friend of Mex
ico, and says the peace, prosperity and contentment of that country
"mean more, much more, to us than merely an enlarged field for our
commerce and enterprise."
The instructions under which John Und acted in Mexico are out
lined. He was directed to urge an armistice among the contending
forces, an early and free election, the consent of General Huerta not
to be a candidate for re-election, and an agreement by all parties to
abide by the results of the election.
The President believes these proposals were rejected partly be
cause the authorities at Mexico City "had been grossly misinformed
on two points," falling to comprehend the earnest friendliness of the
American people, and not believing that the present Administration
spoke, through Mr. Lind, for the people of the United States
The President counsels patience and the exercise of great self
restraint. It is now our duty, he says, to show what true neutrality
will do.
All Americans are earnestly urged to leave Mexico at once.
The Administration declares its intention to let everyone in Mexico
who assumes to exercise authority know that this Government "shall
vigilantly watch the fortunes of those Americans who cannot get
away, and shall hold those responsible for their sufferings and losses
to a definite reckoning.
The message is accompanied by the reply of the Huerta govern
ment rejecting the proposals. The reply suggested the following al
ternative policy for the United States:
Reception of a Mexican Ambassador In Washington.
That the United 6tates send a new Ambassador to Mexico without
restraints.
Strict observance of the neutrality laws and "see to it that no ma
terial or monetary assistance la given to the rebels."
Unconditional recognition of the Huerta government

Its own strength and scorns to misuse
It. It was our duty to offer our active
assistance. It Is now our duty to show
what true neutrality will do to enable
the people of Mexico to set their af
fairs In order again and wait for a
further opportunity to offer our friend
ly counsels. The door is not closed
against the resumption, either on the
initiative of Mexico or on our own, ot
the effort to bring order out ot the
confusion by friendly co-operative
action, should fortunate occasion offer.
Aamerleana Urn-ed to Leave.
"While we wait, the contest of the
rival forces will undoubtedly for a lit
tie while be sharper than ever. Just
because it will be plain that an end
must be made of tne existing situation.
and that very promptly, and with the
increased activity of tne contending
factions will come, -It Is to be feared.
Increased danger to the noncombatants
In Mexico as well as to those actually
on the field of battle. The position of
outsiders is always particularly trying
and full of hazard where there Is. civil
strife and a whole country Is upset.
We should earnestly urge all Ameri
cans to leave Mexico at once, and
should assist the! to get away in
every way possible not because we
would mean to slacken In the least our
efforts to safeguard their lives and
their interests, but because it Is lm
peratlve that they should take no. un
necessary risks when It Is physically
possible for them to leave the country.
We should let every one who seems to
exercise authority In any part of Mexico
know In the most unequivocal way that
we shall vigilantly watch the fortunes
of those Americans who cannot get
away, and shall bold those responsible
for their sufferings and losses to a
definite reckoning. That can and will
be made plain beyond the possibility of
a misunderstanding.
"For the rest, I deem It my duty to
exercise the authority conferred on me
by the law of March 14. 1912. to see to
it that neither side to the struggle now
going on In Mexico receive any assis
tance from this side of the border. I
shall follow the best practice of na
tions In the matter of neutrality by
forbidding the exportation of arms or
munitions of war of any kind from the
United States to any part of the repub
lic ot Mexico a policy suggested by
several interesting precedents and cer
tainly dictated by many manifest con
siderations of practical expediency.
Other Nations 1st Sympathy.
"I am happy to say that several of
the great governments of the world
have given this Government their gen
erous moral support in-urging on the
provisional authorities at the City of
Mexico the acceptance of our proffered
good offices in the spirit in which they
were made. We have not acted In this
matter under the ordinary principles
of International obligation. All the
world expects us In such circumstances
to act as Mexico's nearest friend and
Intimate adviser. This is our immem
orial relation towards ber. There Is
nowhere any serious question that we
have the moral right In the case or
that we are acting In the Interest of a
fair settlement and of good govern
ment, not for the promotion of some
selfish Interest of our own. If further
motive were necessary than our own
good will towards a sister republics and
our own deep concern to see peace and
order prevail In Central America, this
consent of mankind to what we are at
tempting, this attitude of the great
nations of the world towards what we
may attempt in dealing with this dis
tressed people at our doors, should
make us feel the more solemnly bound
to go to the utmost length of patience
and forbearance In this painful and
anxious business. The steady pressure
of moral force will, before many days,
break the barriers of pride and preju
dice down, and we shall triumph aa
Mexico's friend sooner than .we could
triumph aa her enemy and how much
more handsomely, with how much
higher and finer satisfaction of con
science and of honor."

Armistice Involving: Bandits De

test for Presidency.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2T. Senor Gam
boa's reply to the proposals submitted
to the Huerta government by direction
of President Wilson begins by deny'
Ing the imputation that no progress
has been made toward restoring order
In Mexico. On this subject Senor Gam'
boa says:
"In contradiction with their gross
Imputation, which is not supported by
any proofs, principally because there
are none. It affords me pleasure to re
fer, Mr. Confidential Agent, .to the fol
lowing facts which abound In evidence
and which to a certain extent must be
known to you by direct observation.
The Mexican republic, Mr. Confidential
Agent, is formed by 17 states, three
territories and one federal district.
in wbsoh the supreme power of the
republic bas its seat. Of these. 27
states, IS of them, the three terri
torles and the federal district (mak
ing a total of 22 political entities) are
under the abaolute control of the pres
ent government, which aside from the
above, exercises Its authority over al
most every port In the republio and
consequently over the custom houses
there established. Its southern fron
tier Is open and at peace.
Army of 80,000 In Field.
"Moreover, my government has an
army of 80,000 men In the field, with
no other purpose than to Insure com
plete peace in the republic, the only
national aspiration and solemn prom
ise or the present provisional presi
dent. The above ' is sufficient to ex
clude any doubt that my government
is worthy of the respect and obedience
of the Mexican people.
"My government falls to understand
what the Government of the United
States of America means by saying
that it does not And itself in the same
case with reference to the other na
tions of the earth concerning what Is
happening and likely to happen in
Mexico. - The conditions of Mexico at
the present time are unfortunately
neither doubtful nor secret, it is af
flicted with an internal strife which
has been raging almost three years
and which I can only classify in these
lines as a fundamental mistake. With
reference to what might happen in
Mexico, neither you. Mr. Confidential
Aa-ent nor L nor any one else can
prognosticate, because no assertion Is
possible on Incidents which have not
yet occurred. On the other hand, my
government greatly appreciates tne
good offices tendered to It by tne uov
ernment of the United States of Amort
ca in the present crisis, it recognizes
that they are Inspired by the noble
desire to act as a friend, as well as
by the wishes of all the Governments
which expect the United States to act
as Mexico s nearest inena.
Coanter Proposal Made.
"But If such good offices are to be of
the character of those now tendered to
us. we should have to decline them In
the most categorical and detinue man
ner. "Inasmuch as the Government of the
United States is willing to act in the
most disinterested friendship. It will
be difficult for it to find a more pro
pitious opportunity than the follow
ing: '
"If It should only watch that no ma
terial and monetary assistance is given
to rebels who find refuge, conspire and
provide themselves with arms and food
on the other side of the border; if it
should demand from its minor and lo
cal authorities the strictest observance
of the neutrality laws. I assure you,
Mr. Confidential Agent, that the com
plete pacification of this republic
would be accomplished within a rela
tively short time."
Armistice Declared Impossible.
Senor Gamboa says President Wilson
Is mistaken in declaring that the pres
ent situation in Mexico is Incompatible
with compliance with her international
obligations. All credits, he says, are
being met punctually, and a contract
has Just been made with Belgian capi
talists to build 5000 kilometers of rail
road. He declares a definite armistice
impossible because of the many ban
dits Involved.
"Bandits, Mr. Confidential Agent, -says
Senor Gamboa, "are not admitted
to armistice; the first action against
them is one of correction, and when
this fails their lives must be severed
tar the sake of the biological and fun
damental principle; then the useful
sprouts should grow and fructiry-
Senor Gamboa refers to the "rebels
who style themselves constitutional
ists," and objects that to enter Into an
armistice with them would be to rec
ognise tljeir belligerency, "which can
not be done for many reasons which
cannot escape the perspicacity of the
United States of America."
Hnerta Will Not Refrain.
Senor Gamboa continues: The re
quest that General Vlctorlano Huerta
shouM aarrea not to appear as a can
didate for the President of the repub
lio In the coming elections cannot Be
taken Into consideration, because, aside
from Its strange and unwarranted
oharacter. there is a rlsk'that the same
might be Interpreted as a matter of
personal dislike. This point can only
be decided by Mexican public opinion
when it may be expressed at the polls."
The note concludes:
"With reference to the final part of
the instructions of President Wilson,
which I beg to include and which say:
"If Mexico can suggest any bettor way
in which to show our friendship, serve
the people of Moxlco and meet our In
ternational obligations, we are more
than willing to consider the sugges
tion,' that final part causes me to
propose the following equally decorous
arrangement:
"1. That our Ambassador De received
in Washington.
"3. That the United States of Amer
ica sends us a new Ambassador with
out previous conditions.
'And all this threatening and dis
tressing situation will have reached a
happy conclusion. Mention will not
be made of the causes which might
carry us. if the tension persists, to no
one knows what incalculable extremi
ties for two peoples who have the un
avoidable obligation to continue being
friends, provided, of course, that this
friendship Is based upon mutual respect
which is indispensable between two
sovereign entities wholly equal before
law and justice."

COJfGKESS APPROVES MESSAGE
Speaker Clark Says Situation De

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Congres
sional leaders said tonight that Presi

definite policy toward Mexico would
have the effect of staying in Congress
for a time at least open criticism of
the Administration and demands for
information. Thus far, however, there
has been little detailed discussion of
the plans outlined.
The President's message Is an ad
mirable document," said Senator Ba
con, chairman of the Senate foreign
relations committee. It sets forth the
facts without reservation and puts us
right before the world. Moreover, I
believe It will have a calming effect
on our own people and a soothing in

also expressed general approval of the
message, commenting particularly on
the policy of non-interference and the
embargo of shipment of arms across
the border, and Senator Root said the
message was "admirable in tone and
spirit"
House leaders likewise gave their
strong Indorsement to the President
"It seems to me that this Mexican
situation," Speaker Clark said, "pre
sents a case where silence on the part
of most folks Is golden. It is ticklish
and grave. The President's address to
Congress on the subject is admirable
lofty in conception, felicitous in dic
tion. In the very nature of things he
knows more about a situation which
changes every day almost every hour
than the rest of us and speaks with
fuller knowledge. The most practical
suggestion that he made was that
Americans should come out of .Mexico
as rapidly and as soon as possible."
Representative Harrison, ot Missis

committee, said he believed the placing
of an absolute embargo on the ship

would be followed by similar action by
