Sees Danger In Our Delay.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 26, 1913:
London Times Thinks Policy of Neutrality Has Its Perils.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Saturday, July 26.— The Times, in an editorial on the United States and Mexico, criticises the American Government's policy of refraining from positive action, and says:
    "Sooner or later, unless matters take an unexpectedly favorable turn, the Americans will have to consider whether their attitude of neutrality and non-intervention may not be persisted in until it wears almost the aspect of shrinking from duty and responsibility, until it produces the very crisis it is intended to avert, and until it sacrifices to a scruple or theory every opportunity for tangible and productive service. These are risks inseparable from a policy of waiting on events."
