When Ambassador Wilson returned to the l nited state? and Nelson OShauKh n. ssy, was |oft ,n chRrgc. Qf the Am .-an Embassy in Mexico Cltv, the saiiie distrust of O'Shaughnessy apparent, although the reasons for It v.* re not the same. Mr. O'Shaugh ^i"*sy was on intimate terms with Huerja. and President Wilson b?< iK\?*d that O'Shaujrhnessy did not pr.ss with proper vigor and empha ?'? the notes beini; sent to the Huer ta administration. Although President Wilson was -tubbornly insistent that "Huerta must go," he was never anxious to *pr? Clpitate a controversy with Mexl CO Involving the use of physical lOl'Ce. The dispatch of former Governor I I . d of Minnesota to Mexico us mi unofficial envoy rather than com missioner was decided upon as a Means of getting Impartial reports on the situation In Mexico. Gover nor Llnd had had no experience In tie diplomatic world or In Latin America, but his reports impressed both President Wilson and Secretary III Van as lucid and accurate. Mr, Ilson had the Idea, however, thai the Mexican policy on which he was embarked would have an influence Upon other parts of Centra] and ooutli America. The arbitrary usurp ation of power and especially the overthrow of governments by physl <t cal force had Unsettled Latin Ameri ca for generations. President Wil son became convinced of the neces sity of taking such a stand in order that something might he done to ward stabilizing the governmental situations in l.atin America. Confirm ation of this view was publicly given When Mr. Wilson made his famous speech at Mobile earlv In 1914 de claring that the l ulled Slates did not wish |o add another fool of ter ritory In the Western hemisphere by Conquest and that the American ? O 'nment frowned upon .(Torts In any American citizens to exploit con', cessions of people, of the south rf !"? denounced concessional, s , Interfered with the processes of orderly government and who ln I, . in ? "rpr,!'roW ?'"<? ... 1 ,-""n America so that p MUht be succeeded hy another more favorable to these privileged inter I'hfortunately for Mr. Wilson his own -Pepartment of sia(o no nnMfv' h" follow the outline of policy he made ?t t)10 of h administration with respect to t ,"' recognition of governments which obtained their power by the arbi trary overthrow of the preceding ad ministration. The kidnaping of the President of Peru and the succession of its vice-president was followed by recognition extended In the usual way by the Wilson administration, and there are other cases in Central America in which the United States found that expediency required the recognition of the existing regime and giving it moral support, rather than the encouragement of a period of chaos. Theoretically Mr. Wilson's policy of Insisting upon the orderly process es of government and free electious to prevent disturbance was excellent and there Is no question that Mr. Wilson contributed a great deal to ward the formulation of a policy which some day may be more liter ally followed than it was in his ad ministration; but the fight made against Huerta did not lead to the kind of Impression Mr. Wilson want ed to make in Latin America. On the contrary It gave the agitators in Central and South America n.n "p portunity to insist that the United 'States was trying to interfere In the internal affairs of sovereign coun tries and that one step of interfer-. ence would he followed by another! until tin- "Colossus of the North"! gobbled up its weaker neighbors, i As an interesting corroboration.! | however. Mr. Wilson's early ambi tions with r?'spect to Latin American! | policy, the Department of State un-j der the -Republican administration of Secretary Charles Evans Hughes,! I brought about the signing of a series j i of treaties between five Central Am erican countries whereby it was mu tually agreed that recognition would not be extended to any government , which owed its oriuln to the use of physical force, or the intrigue of am bitious politicians at the head of rev j olutlonary armies. President Wilson lind little idea 'that his Mexican policy would lead to serious complications with Europe and the general public was not awat" j of the pressure being brought upon him by European interests to recog nize the Huerta regime and secure a settlement of the debts owed by Mexico to foreign bond holders. In curious fashion, indeed, did the .Mexican policy become Interwoven with the diplomatic relations which developed between the United States and Japan on the one hand over the alien legislation of the State of Cal ifornia and the desire of the British government to obtain a repeal of the law passed by the same Congress ex empting American vessels from the payment of canal tolls and thus dis criminating against British and oth er foreign vessels. Mr. Wilson had many tompestu | ous conflicts with the British foreign office over the apparent support glv , en to the Huerta regime by the llrit ish government, n support intensi i fled, to no small extent, by the large oil interests of llritish companies ; whose Influence in the British for eign office was appreciable. Mr. Wilson felt of courso that the llay-Pauncefote Treaty guaranteed Great Britain against discrimination ; and he was ready to ask Congress for the repeal of the Panama Canal ; Tolls Act, but in doing so lie saw the wisdom of obtaining a reciprocal pledge from Great Britain whereby ! the London foreign office would ex ercise its great Influence with the Japanese in bringing about, a peace ful solution of the Japanese Amer ican controversy. Great Britain, by virtue of the Anglo- Japanese alliance, was In a position to hold Japan at bay in the event of an excrescence of war spir it. It had never been unequivocally established whether in the event of war between Japan and the I'nited States. Great Britain would b?> obliged to assist Japan or could re main neutral. In any event, the Bri tish were in a position to persuade the Japanese not to make a serious, issue of the California question. That is what Mr. Wilson meant' when he used the much discussed of phrase "Matter of far reaching and delicate concern" in his message to ! Congress asking for unugrudgingj support for his foreign policy in do-i ing for Great Britain that which 1 would make amends for an apparent violation of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. After the Panama Act was re pealed and Mr. Wilson had done what he thought would please the I British foreign office he was very much surprised to discover that the British were indirectly supporting the Huerta regime in Mexico. Walter II i nes Page. American Ambassador! to Great Britain, had many a stormy i conference with Sir Edward Grey,' the British Foreign Minister, all of which led to an expression from the British government of a willingness to permit the United States to have a free hand in dealing with the Mex lean government. Mr. Wilson In those days was convinced that tlu? Huerta regime would have toppled much sooner if it had not been for the British help. As for the controversy with Jap an, only those in the inner circie I knew how serious the crisis really ? became. The I'nited States and Jap-| an were much nearer war in those days than anybody dreamed. Mr. Wilson hated war. and yet was pow erless. it seemed, to remove from the ? Japanese mind the impression which had become fixed there; namely, that the I'nited States must cease dis- j criminating against Japanese nation- j als and that pride required a show of might. There were midnight conferences i with the Secretary of War, Mr. Gar rison. and the Secretary of the Navy. 1 Mr. Daniels in attendance. Amerl-j can naval vessels were secretly or- j d?r? d t?? proceed to points of best , advantage ia protecting American interest* in the Far Cast. The Am-; erican troops stood under arms at Corn gidor the fortress at the Phil ippines. Th^? Japanese fleet was not unmindful of what was happening. ' Mr. Wilson -saw the danger of a slnule slip ? a collision of r?r?*es or| SOtno act like the blowing up of the | Maine which niiuht precipitate war.; Suddenly instructions were issued to;. all American naval vessels to su*-| pond all movements while the diplo mats struggled again with a formu la by which it was hoped to main tain peace. Some day when the diplomatic! correspondence of that period is ! made public, it will reveal the wor risome hours spent by the President' almost from the beginning of his ad-j ministration in battling with foreign questions which in the end proved j his physical undoing.
