prostrate was made by President Wilson today In an open review of Mexican conditions the president said they can no longer be Unless the Mexican leaders the president warns them government will be constrained to decide what means should be- employed by the United States in order to help Mexico save self and her people President's Complete Statement The president's statement in full as For more than two years conditions have existed in Mexico The purpose of the tion was to rid Mexico of ignored the constitution of the public and used their power in con- tempt ot the rights of its and with these purposes the people of the United States instinctively find sympathized But the loaders of the revolution in the very hour of their success have dis- agreed and turned their arms against one another All professing the same object they are less nimble or unwilling to ate A central authority at Mexico City is no sooner set up than it is undermined and its authority de- nicd hy those who are expected to support it Mexico is apparently no nearer ft solution of her troubles than she was when the was first kindled And she has been swept by civil war as if by lire No Protection for Citizens

of all do they desire her affairs for her or claim any right to do so But neither do they wish to see other ruin come upon her and they deem it their duty as friends and to lend any aid they erly can to any instrumentality which promises to be effective in bringing about a settlement which will embody tho real object of the inent and the rights of the people Patriotic Mexicans are sick at heart and cry out for peace and for every self-sacrifice that may be to procure it Their people cry out for food and will presently hate us much as they fear every man in their country or out of it who stands between them and their bread It is time therefore that the United States government should frankly state the policy in which under the extraordinary circum- stances it becomes its duty to adopt It must presently do what it has not hitherto done or felt at liberty to do its active moral support to some man or group of men it such may be found can rally the people of Mexico to their support in
