HANDS OFF MEXICO IS WILSON’S DECISION

Will Not Recognise Huerta Npr Intervene at This Time—Recent Row a “Frame-Up.” President Wilson will neither intervene in Mexico nor recognize the Huerta government at this time, according to dispatches from Washington. It is stated bn what is said to he high authority that no foreign government has asked the United States to intervene, notwithstanding the reports of recent days in which Secretary Bryan refused to be interviewed in the matter, and gave quite unmistakable evidence that such protests had actually been made. The president is said to he convinced that recent anti-American demonstrations were inspired for one of two reasons, either as an effort to enforce the recognition of Huerta or by American capital which is said to he very deßirous of intervention. President Wilson seems firm in the determination that the U. S. shall keep hands off and let Mexico work out its own salvation, which poMcy is all right as long as they confine themselves to the killing of Mexicans, but when Americans are killed and American industries destroyed it is time sot a more drastic policy.
