Show AMBASSADOR WILSON DOING WELL " ' Public opinion, as well as such official of-ficial opinion as can be sounded in Washington, seems agreed that Ambassador Am-bassador Henry Lane Wilson is handling hand-ling a very difficult situation in Mexico Mex-ico in a manner thoroughly creditable to himself. In times of uproar like that which has prevailed in Mexico City during the last month, the ambassador of a foreign power usually has a chance to wrap his country's flag around him and arouse at home, at least the cheers of the multitude by delivering as stiffish an ultimatum as his state department will allow. But In the present situation Mr. Wilson has had to muster considerable consider-able personal firmness to mask the temporizing and hesitating policy of the administration. Anything remotely remote-ly resembling "heroics" was denied .him, and yet the personal safety of Americans In the mob-ridden city and the heavy financial Interests of Amer ican investors demanded that he make it perfectly clear to the provisional government that the United States would not permit an Indefinite period of anarchy. . lie managed to do this in a way which was fairly effective In its results and which also managed to make the Americans popular, instead of unpopular, unpopu-lar, with the crowds in Mexico City. |
