VOLUME 1- NO. 156." MORALITY TO BE WILSON'S GUIDE fl‘elident Announced Foreign Rela- . B tion Rule—Day Of Conquest Now Past Says Chief Executive NOT SEEKING MORE TERRITORY Attacks “Material Interests” For In- terfering In Internal Affairs Of - Other Countries ' ' Mobile, Ala, Oct. 28.—President - Wilson announced to the world that - the governing motive of the United States in its relationships with the countries of this hemisphere would be “morality and not expediency.” “I want to take this occasion to #ay,” he declared, “that the United States will not seek agaln to secure one additional foot of territory by conquest.” . The president in a speech before the Southern Commercial congress de- livered a velled attack on what he termed “the material interests” that had influenced the foreign policy of some governments in their relations with the nations of Latin-America. Though Mr. Wilson did not mention Mexico as the afilicted country he de- voted his entire speech to a descrip- i tion of the degrading influences which foreign concessionaires had had upon the internal aftairs of some - of the Latin-American countries. With the Mexican situation upper- most in the president’s mind at this time his address was Interpreted as an arraignment of those financial in. fluences which, it has been charged, have secured in some cases recogni- titon for the Huerta government. The president in his speech declared that it would be the duty of the ' Unlted States to assist the nations of this hemisphere in an “emancipation” from “the material interests of other | nations,” so that they might enjoy con- stitutional liberty unrestrained. “I came,” he said, “not to speak of the South, because the South has the gift of speaking for herself. I came here because I would speak of our present and prospective relations with our neighbors to the south. The fu- ture Is golng to be very different for this hemisphere from the past. ? Bound in Ties of Sympathy. “Those states lying to the south [ which have always been our | neighbors will be drawn closer to each other by common ties of understand- ing. Interests do not tie nations to- gether, but sometimes separate them. Sympathy and understanding do bind them together. “In the future,” he continued, “the nations to the south of us will draw 5 closer and closer to us because of these circumstances of which I am speaking. We must prove ourselves thelr friends and champions on terms of equality and honor. We can’t be fast friends on any other terms than | those of equality. t “And we must show ourselves friends by comprehending their in- terests whether they square with our Interests or not. It is a very perilous thing to determine a foreign policy ir terms ot material interests. It is indeed a degrading thing.” One of the features of the enter- tainment of President Wilson was a 1 trip up and down the harbor. As the revenue cutter Windom with the presi- dent and party aboard proceeded up h the harbor a steamer flying the Mex- A ican flag was noticed lying near a British freighter. No acknowledgment of the pres- ence of the president of the United States was shown by the Mexican ves- sel. The British steamer dipped her flag as the revenue cutter passed. MAY ENTER DECEMBER 2 8t.
