EVENING LEDGEK-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1915,
STAND BY PRESIDENT,
IS OPINION IN CITY ON
! NEW MEXICAN POLICY
Financial Men Say They
Are Thoroughly Prepar
ed for Any Eventualities,
Including Intervention,
if That Be Necessary.
Leading professional and business men
of this city today gave vole to van Inn
opinion on the note of President Wilson
calling on Mexico to end the condition
of revolution that have existed In that
country for the last four years.
Unswerving support of the Tresldent In
whatever action this Government may
take Is expressed In the majority Of opin
ions. Financial men say tho stock mar
ket Is prepared even for active Interven
tion and win not surcer materially snouia
this come to pass.
A strong note of optimism runs through
tho statements of many brokers and
jlnAnclers. Some of them hold that the
note presages the clearing up of the trou
blesome Mexican question and, therefore,
no matter what Its results, tho dawn of
better times for American capital Invented
In Mexico.
A Well-Informed broker who would not
permit the use of his namo suggested
that the Mexican "Junta," with headquar
ters In New York, controlled by various
nnanciai interests, tnlgnl end mi tne trou
ble In Mexico If It so desired. He be
lieves one effect of the note will be to
bring pleasure to bear on this "Junta" for
peace In Mexico.
HUDHTA SUSPECTED.
The name of Vlctorlano Huerta, former
dictator of Mexico, who was forced out
by the United States Government, alao
was mentioned In certain quarters today
as In somo way connected with the so-
called "Junta" In Now York. It was sug
gested that tho former dictator came to
this country from Europe to work with
the New York headquarters. But to what
end was not made plain.
Frederick E. Narr. of tho brokerage
Arm of Henry & West, In the Morris
Building, expressed the opinion that not
even Intervention In Mexlcu, should It
como to pass, would have much effect on
the domestic securities of tho stock mar
ket. Mr. Narr does not believe there will
be any notlceablo change In stocks as the
result of the President's note to Mexico.
STOCK MARKET SECUItE.
"I do not think the President's note
will make any difference to tho stock
market," eald Mr. Narr. "It may affect
certain stocks that have Mexican hold
ings, but In bo far as domestic securities
are concernod I cannot seo where the
note can cause any change. The stock
market has been oxpectlng a strong note
And 'not even Intervention would make
much difference.",
VARE SILENT.
Congressman "William 8. Vare declined
to commit himself on tho noto to Mexico.
He said lie had not read It, and when n
copy was offered for his Inspection said
It would be two or three days befora he
would be prepared to make a statement,
as he would wish to read the note several
timed prior to giving an opinion. The Con
gressman also declined to say whether or
not he Is In accord with tho President
until he has read the note.
"Before 1 say a word as to whether or
not I am in favor of tho policy outlined
by tho President," ho said, "I will have
to read the message over not once, but
several times, and It will take two or
three days beforo I will Isauo any state
ment." SCOTT SUPPORTS, PRESIDENT,
Discussing the warning served by We
President, Congressman John R. K. Scott
aid. that In this crisis, as in all others,
the country should stand by tho Chief
Executive.
"The President should bo upheld by
every one In this grave situation."' said
he; "further comment Is unnecessary."
Congressman George S. Graham, while
admitting that he "had very distinct views
on our Mexican policy,' declined to give
expression to them.
"I don't feel," said, he, "that this is the
time to create antagonisms."
PROFESSOR ROWE'S VIEWS.
Prof. Leo. S. Rowe. of the. Univer
sity of Pennsylvania and president of the
American Academy of Political and Social
Science, said:
"President Wilson's decision to lend the
active moral support of the United States
Government to some man, or group of
men, who can rally the suffering people
of Mexico to their support, Offers the pos
sibilities of the only real solution to the
present distressing conditions In Mexico."
TILDEN SAYS "AMENl"
Ilia support of the President's note was
voiced by-William T, Tilden. former pres
ident of tho Union League and prominent
business man, in the following terjo sen
tence: "AH r can say Is amen."
John Story Jenks. a member nf th
Board of Education and also one of the
city's Dig business men. voiced similar
sentiments.
"Anything to relievo the denlorable sit.
nation In Mexico meets with my ap
proval," he said. "President Wilson is
acting In the cause of humanity, and ha
should be given tho support of the en tiro
country."

German and the Italian met. White Houso
Attendants were forced to do some lively
maneuvering lo get Von Bernstorff out by
one route while Cellero entered by
rtthpr. '35
wMvnv air.fwn ,
No statement was Issued from th
White House concerning the nature of
tho President's nnd Von Bernstorft's talk.
Secret service agents prevented any one
from getting very close to the German
diplomat as he took his departure.
Nevertheless, the question was put to him
whether ho had any statement to make.
In answer he shook his head.
It was believed, however, that he told
the Presldem) substantially these things:
That Germany stands ready to do all
required of her In the way of reparation "
wherever It Is shown that sho has In
fringed on American rights.
That thero must bo an understanding
between tho two nations concerning the
conduct of unarmed and neutral vessels,
and that, based on such an understand
ing, they can bo fully protected. In keep,
lng with the terms of The Haguo conven
tion. That in the case of tho Lusltanla Ger
many has reason to believe In tho sound
ness of hor position with regard to that
vessel' alleged defiance of tho rules of
International warfare and the violation
of an American statuto concerning the
carrying of explosives, but that this Issue
prevents no Insurmountable obstacle,
provided a clear understanding can be
reached on tho principles involved.
SUBMARINE POLICY.
Tho most sanguine scarcely expected
tho German Ambassador to indtcato his
Government's willingness to abandon
submarine warfare unless tho United
States was In a position to compel Eng
land to abandon her "starvation policy,"
or unless England should do so without
compulsion by neutral nations. Includ.
lng tho United States, whoso right has
been violated by the British order In
council.
Of the effect of tho Ambassador's rep
resentations on tho President there was
as yet no means of judging, but guesses
on this pqlnt also were nil much alike.
The President, It was believed, might
huvo been led. If his visitor's remarks
presented to hla mind any Ideas for mak
ing German acquiescence easier, to adopt
them for use In connection with his next
communication to Berlin.
PRESIDENT "STANDS PAT."
That there would be any "backing
down," howover. was understood to be
out of tho question The President, It
was said, would "stand pat," but h
would so express himself as to give the
Fatherland an opportunity to comply
with his wishes gracefully. It was the
consensus ot opinion that the Berlin
Foreign Ofllco would avail itself of this
chance.
From German societies throughout the
United States, It was said, large numbers
of messages wero reaching the White
House In which, coupled with professions
of loyalty to America concerning whose
sincerity ther could be no mistake, the
hope was expressed that the President
would bear In mind the life and death
character of the struggle In which their
native land was engaged, take Into con
sideration the fact that, at such a time,
intercourse even with its friends could be
carried on as smoothly as whon the world
Is at peace, and be as considerate as h'e
consistently could In the tone he adopts
in the pending discussion.
This, it was stated on high authority,
the President had every disposition tado.
, OFF TO FIGHT FOR FRANCE
Three Cooks of tho Ritz-Carlton An
swer Country's Call.
Three young men, cooks at Rltz-Carl-ton,
will leave the hotel tonight to pre
pare to salt for France to right for their
country. They are Joseph Viand, Marcel
Genaet and Edouard Gazabar.
There were many tearful farewells In
the kitchens of the hotel this afternoon.
Those who will stay behind seemed to
be all convinced that the three mus
keteera would never return from the
firing again, and accordingly handshak
ings and embraces were reiterated until
Viand, Gensel and Gazabat were ready to
tear themselves away. They will sail on
June 5.
STOP FIGHTING, IS PRESIDENT'S
COMMAND TO MEXICAN CHIEFS
Continued from Page On
lng about a settlement which will embody the real objects of the revolution,
constitutional government 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 necessary to procure It. Her people cry out
for food and will presently hate as much as they fear every man, In their
country or out of It, who stands between them and their dally bread.
It Is time, therefore, that the Government of the United States should
frankly state the policy which In these extraordinary times It becomes Its
duty to adopt. It must presently do what it has not hitherto done or felt at
liberty to do, lend its active moral support to some men or group of men, If such
may be found, who can rally the suffering people of Mexico to their support in
an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the warring factions of the country,
return to the constitution of the Republic so long in abeyance and set up
a Government at Mexico City which the great powers of the world can
recognize and deal with, a Government with whom the program of the rero
lutlon will be a business and not merely a platform.
MUST GET TOGETHER
I, therefore, publicly and very solemnly call upon the'Ieaders 0f factions
in Mexico to act together and to act promptly for the relief and redemption
of their prostrate country,
I feel it my duty to tell them that, if they cannot accommodate their
differences and .unite for this great purpose within a very short time, this
Government vviU be constr.lned to decide what means should be employed
by the United States in order te help Mexico save herself and serve her
