Interference in Mexican Affairs Will Be Unfriendly Act
Washington, Oct. 24.—The United States government is preparing to notify the nations of the world generally, that any interference in Mexican affairs will be regarded as unfriendly to this government.
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Counselor John Bassett Moore, of the state department have exchanged ideas on what the proclamation to the world should express. It will be communicated to foreign governments everywhere, in harmony with the policy established earlier of keeping other nations informed of every step in its handling of the Mexican problem.
The proclamation also will serve, it is understood, as an explicit definition of the policy of the United States toward the de facto authorities in Mexico, reiterating the principle that recognition can be given only to governments on this hemisphere founded on law and order.
Two things, it is known, have contributed to the determination of the government to define its policy—the presentation by Sir Lionel Carden, British minister to Mexico, of his credentials immediately after Huerta had proclaimed himself dictator, and the dispatch of several war vessels to Mexican waters.
