It dealt almost wholly with Pan-Americanism by agreement among the Pan-Americans, and it was obvious the president took the opportunity oppor-tunity to send back to the Mexican people, peo-ple, through ninety or more representative representa-tive newspaper editors, a persona message mes-sage to emphasize the disinterestedness of the United States in all its part oi the fight for world democracy. It was the president's wish that Ids speech, inasmuch as It practically was addressed ad-dressed to the Mexican people, should be published in Mexico first. To that end no copies were given out for publication in this country until today.

PRESIDENT'S SPEECH IS WELLREGEIVED London Press Comments on Wilson's Words to Mexican Mexi-can Editors. LONDON, June 11. President Wilson's address to Mexican editors in Washlng-! Washlng-! ton last Friday is commented upon with hisn appreciation by the newspapers here. The TJaily News says that President Wilson in his speech "revealed himself as the architect of the world's future." It warmly eulogizes the president's and America's disinterestedness in the war, which, it says, is testified to not by words, but by acts. The paper mentions American loyally to the cause of Russia, Rus-sia, which it describes as one of the redeeming re-deeming episodes of the whole war, and urses other countries which have been "less faithful and less wise to recognize the snppacity, as well as the justice, of President Wilson's policy in making the redemption of Russia a fixed and unalterable unal-terable purpose of the war." The president, says the Daily Chronicle, has reason for the claim thnt the United States is setting a memorable example of disinterestedness and that such an attitude atti-tude takes away ground for suspicion in j seeking a mutual understanding among 1 nations. The Daily Chronicle declares r that upon such altruism alone can an en-j en-j during peace be founded. The Times compares the president's speech with the recent statement of Hcrr von Payer, the German vice chancellor, and says: "No contrast could be stronger. The president talks of liberty, justice and law, 'Hie vice chancellor looks forward to a '4 world in which the unified armies of (Jcrmany and Austria-H untrary will still jj I impse their orders on a submissive Eu-3 Eu-3 rope."' i m WASHINGTON-.
