II. S. MAY HUE TO HELP SAVE NATION

T Government Will Lend Active Moral Support to Agency Likely to Ignore If Not Unite Warring Factions. DEMANDS PURPOSES OF REVOLT BE ATTAINED Continuous Rebellion Must Give Way to Orderly Government Based on People's Rights or Intervention Will Come. WAS! II.VOH X. June 1. Pres't 'Wilson today served warning on the leaders of the various factions in .Mexico "to act together and to act promptly for the relief ami redemption of their jrotrato country" or the United States "will bo constrained to deride what means should he employed in order to help .Mexico save herself arel serve her people." The president suggests that the administration will lend its "active moral support" to some man or "group of men" if .such may he found who can rally the suffering people of Mexico "in an effort to ignore if they cannot unite the warring factions of tho country." This is the only hint given by tho chief xccutivo as to tho "means" to be employed should the leaders not ho able to aree on terms of peace, and end tho deplorable conditions in tho republic which hao brought it to the point of starvation and caused the people to "cry out for food." Tin Pu-vidcnt's Statement. X'rrs't Wilson's statement follows: "For more than two years revolutionary conditions have existed in Mexico. The purpose of the revolution was to rid Mexico of men who ignored the constitution of the republic and used their powers in contempt of the. rights of the people; and with these purposes, the president of the United States instinctively and generously sympathized. ijut the leaders of the revolution, in the very hour of their success, have disagreed and turned th ir arms against one another. All professing the same objects, they are nevertheless unable or unwilling to cooperate. A central authority at Mexico City is no sooner set up than it is undermined and its authority denied by those who were expected to support it. Mexico is apparently no nearer a solution of her tragical troubles than she was when the revolution was tirst kindled. And she has been swept by ei il war as if by tire. Her crops are destroyed. Iter fields unseeded, her work cattle are oonliseated for the use of the armed factions; her people t!eo to the mountains to escape being drawn into unavailing bloodshed, and no man seemn to see or lead the way to rveace and settled order. There is no proper protection either for her own citizens or for the citizens of other nations resident ana at work within her territory. Mexico is starving and without a government. Want Nothing for Solo. "In these circumstances the people and government of the United States i innot stand indifferently by and do nothing to serve their neighbor. They want nothing for themselves in Mexico. Least of all do they desire to settl" her affairs for her or claim any I i - h t to do so. "!'. ut neither do they wish to see tt. r ruin come upon her and they i. ; tn it their e'.uty as friends and :. ighbors to lend any aid they proper!v can to any instrumentality which r rV.mises to be elective in bringing out a settlement which will embody ;he real objects of the revolution institutional no ei-nment ami the tights of the peorie. Patriotic Mexicans are sick -it heart and cry out for peace and f i every self sacrifice that :na be nccosary to procure it. Her People cry out tor food and will presently hate as mm h as they fear every man. in their country and out of it. v In. stands between them and their daily hi ad. Time to Mate Policy. 'It is time, therefore, that the government of the United States should ftankl state tho policy which in these extraordinary circumstances it heo:ns. its duty to adopt. It must presentl do what it lias not hitherto done or felt at liberty to do, lend its active moral support to some man or group of men. if ueh may be found, who can rally the suffering people, of Mexco to th. ir support in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the warring factions of th country, reurn to the constitution of the republic so long in a! -yance and s t up a gowrnment at Mexico 'iiv which the great powers of the world tan naori.e and deal with a government with whom the pro-Tram of the revolution will be a busna-s ;;t;,i imt merely a platform. I. therefore, public!-- an1 w r solemnly i all upon the leaders of factions in M.-u to act together and to a t pr.?:iptl for the relief and redemption of their prostrate country. I fee! it to be niv dutv to tell them that, if th. c a nnoi accommodate their d iff r-" s and unite with thin gnat p :rp. time, thi within a very short ! r.ment w ill b con'trained t" deo.. what mertr.s should ( e cmpb" j p the United Stat, s in crder to h Ip Meue a.c. herself and f.rve her people."
