THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

REALISING ITS RESPONSIBILITIES.

United Press Association—By Elec trio Telegraph—Copyright. Washington, March 3.-

President Wilson, in receiving prominent callers, gave the impres sion that he fully realised the gravity of the Mexican situation, lie pointedly referred to certain eventualities which might mean a drastic course. . _ _ . It is understood that if Britain allows Benton’s case to await adju diootion until a stable government is established in Mexico, the United States will agree to that course. President Wilson emphasised that foreign nations had no right to demand that the United States should look after their subjects, neither should they demand it. If General Carranza insists on his right not to deal with the American Government in the interests of any other govern ment a very grave situation will be produced, whereat the United States will be compelled to take action.
