“WATCHFUL WAITING” HAS SAVED A NATION’S LIFE

Mexican Envoy’s Tribute to President Wilson’s Policy. Convincing testimony to the wisdom and justice of President Wilson’s Mexican policy is brought from Mexico itself by Luis Cabrera, one of Mexico’s commissioners at the joint Mexican-American Conference now in session at New London, Conn. "I do not care to discuss political

or international questions of any kind,” said Senor Cabrera in a recent interview, “but I will say that in official circles of Mexico President Wilson is looked upon as one of the greatest men the United States ever has had as a leader. He is calm and considerate, and his much abused ‘watchful waiting’ policy has probably saved the life of my nation and prevented your country from entering into a needless struggle.”
