Mexico City ultimatum shocks Wilson plan
Despatches say President Wilson will name former Minnesota Governor Lind as ambassador to Mexico City to deliver an ultimatum that the United States will not recognize Huerta and that Mexicans must elect a provisional president by warring factions. The piece argues this stance is illogical and urges continuation of nonrecognition until after October elections. It notes Americans’ protection and questions the authority to dictate Mexican candidates.
