'Outside InTluenccs' Blamed for Present Conditions. BY WILLIAM GRANT LKONARD. MEXICO CITY, May 11. (Special tarrespondence.) -In the eyes of all toe world, except those of our sister publics of Latin America, I am oked on and denounced as a dictator id usurper, when, in all political uth, I am de jure de facto president the Mexican nation. 1 am asked to wcate the position for which I was tended by God and destiny, and turn aer the affairs of our troubled coun- tiy to men who have but the most selfish aid mercenary interests at heart." With these words. General Victoriano picrta, the head of the Mexican Gov- nnient, and the most talked of man earth-, began ills appointed Inter- ew with your correspondent today the I'alace of Chapultapec. Coming Mexico City upon the invitation of Itneral Iluerta himself and being re ived at the station by an army officer presenting the president, 1 had sev- al short talks with him in these e days. All Latin-America lntereNted. Those were Huerta's own words. Tiien he Immediately added: "Yes, Hid all Latin-America for this atti Mde of the United States Government, lot the American people remember is tio&t vital to every republic of America. rilavo you considered the attitude ot all Latin-America on this stand tien by President Wilson," he asked tlib interviewer. "Well, It is time you oijsjht to," he went on. following a ntkative answer. "It is time that the American Government gave full and attentive heed to the wishes and opinions ot the nations or Latin- erica These are real . peoples in try political and economic sense; y are nationalized in as a full se as are the Americans and they 'e a pride of flag and of country pronounced.' if not indeed, more than have our neighbors to the til. Ialronlxiner Attitude Rctiented. ev th. St hii as HO, no "1 fear that at times the Washing ton Government assumes a patronizing itlilude toward the Spanish Ameri can governments and people. At least nany of its acts in the past could le construed as indicating an assump tion of superiority quite apart from die exercising of authority. In this latter word, I, of course, refer to the .ionroe Doctrine, that once very kindly nstrument of double edge the one :overed with real velvet and held 'aclng our nations of the American ,'ontinents, the other of tempered steel that glints In the eyes of greedy European nations. Yes, for many years l was such an instrument kindly and protective to those it would shield, Strongly menacing to those it would thwart in evil design. "It is but natural that e here in Mexico should be more in touch with Central and South American operation than are the people of the United Stales. This being so. we have long known that especially the South Amer icans have viewed with more or lees distrust the stronger and stronger re iteration of the Monroe doctrine by the United States. l-'rlendMhlp Tempered by Fear. "Mexico wants to be on terms of close friendship, even affection, with the great American Government and people, and I am certain a like desire is found among the peoples of Spanish-America generally. Hut this teeling which undoubtedly anil universally exists is surely tempered with a fear that Uncle Sam wants to rule and run more terri tory than he has actually under his authority. "lu the present disastrous condition of affairs, I feel certain that Central and South American sentiment is largely with Melco. Of course it would not be right and honorable for any person to construe this statement as reflecting in the smallest way the views of te mediators appointed by Argentina, Brazil and Chile to adjust the slight difficulties between the American and Mexican governments.. I could not want so to offend good taste as to comment one way or the other on the questions to be discussed by these eminent gentlemen, or upon what I might believe to be their opin ions relative to the controversy. They are high ambassadors and are men of such standing that whatever their rec ommendations may.be they will be en titled to the most exalted consideration by all parties. Mexico Wanta A iluarreL.
